User's profiles should be linked with drupal.org user's profiles

Would it be possible to implement this feature ?

Spam Detection

Posted by GregoryHeller on June 13, 2008 at 4:47pm

Everytime i post something with a link, it seems, i face the captcha for potentially spammy content, even if the link is a relative link to another node on g.d.o.

It seems like links to g.d.o or relative links should be "trusted" and not trigger the spam filter.

Paths change when group name changes

Posted by drewish on June 12, 2008 at 1:35am

I was a bit annoyed to notice that someone had (helpfully?) renamed the Portland group to Portland (Oregon). Honestly it was a good change but the problem is that it broke the URL (portland -> portland-oregon) which we'd just gotten printed on a banner. Any way to disable that auto updating and get our old URL back?

Embed videos in groups.drupal.org

Posted by Amazon on May 6, 2008 at 6:38pm

We've produced a few videos at Acquia and would like to embed them in some http://groups.drupal.org groups. For example, one video is a showcase of 35 Drupal sites, another is a video of 50 Drupal newspapers and magazines.

For customers, I've used the embed filter module with a whitelist of video sites. What's the state of the art for videos on http://groups.drupal.org?

Wiki page question

Posted by maher on April 18, 2008 at 5:35am

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask. I'm just trying to figure out how can I insert line "You are viewing a wiki page. You are welcome to edit it. Be bold!" on every Wiki page automatically?

I'm implementing Wiki content on my site and can't figure out how the line gets inserted at the top of the page.

Thanks for your input.

Problens with og galleries, and an idea to the use of modules

Posted by oskar_calvo on April 15, 2008 at 2:53pm

Hello I'm trying to work with og galleries, but It seems that if have a lot of bugs without clouse.

The idea is that maybe the modules that can no be supported should be no in "Recommended" status. Maybe when a module have 5 o 7 bug open it should not be in another status.

I understand that people maybe do not have time to work in this, the idea is only a way to advice people to use the module.

Thanks

Does OG_Panel break group RSS subscriptions?

Posted by ebrittwebb on April 11, 2008 at 4:50pm

I haven't researched this thoroughly, but it seems that implementing Panel Pages may break (or at least change) their pre-existing RSS subscriptions. I've recently noticed that four of my G.D.O. subscriptions are broken, right about the time that each of them implemented Panel Pages -- Alumni, Churches, Drupal Dojo and Drupal in Education (I implemented three of the four.

GDO Group Page weights not working

Posted by ebrittwebb on April 10, 2008 at 1:47pm

This has probably already been addressed, but since I haven't seen anything about it, I thought I'd mention it here.

I've implemented the new panel pages feature on two groups now: Churches and Drupal in Education. In both cases, I've noticed that the page tabs show up in the order I created them, not in the order I weighted them.

Anyone else notice this? How do I fix it?

groups.drupal.org gives UI power to group admins with Pages

Posted by moshe weitzman on April 4, 2008 at 1:47pm

groups.drupal.org now features Pages, a major new feature added this week. Group admins now have much more control over the presentation of their group’s content. You may see this feature in action by clicking on the tabs in the redesigned Drupal Dojo group, or Los Angeles or SoC 2008. To learn how this customization was achieved, watch this screencast (blip.tv) by Josh Koenig.

Group admins may add as many custom Pages as they desire to their group. The admin may choose her own page layout, and may place whatever content she wishes into each region of the page. If this sounds like Panels module to you, then pat yourself on the back. This feature is a happy integration between Organic Groups module and the Panels module.

Group admins are encouraged to build out their groups using Pages (see screencast), and report bugs or feature requests in the groups.drupal.org group.

Many thanks to Earl Miles for Panels and Views, and to Josh Koenig for the screencast, and to the Post Carbon Institute for funding og_panels module.

Building a groups site - explore the backend of groups.drupal.org

Posted by Walt Esquivel on March 3, 2008 at 6:42pm

I'm very pleased to hear Moshe will be giving a presentation on site building titled Building a groups site - explore the backend of groups.drupal.org.

Does anyone know if the presentation will be taped and made available for non-attendees to later view online? I've asked a similar question here: Will presentation be available later via video?

Wiki features?

Posted by starbow on February 29, 2008 at 7:55pm

Is there anyway to be notified when someone changes a wiki that you create? Or to see a change log? Without those two features, the wiki pages here are g.d.o are kind of an information black hole.

Select field for exposed view filter

Posted by ebrittwebb on January 18, 2008 at 4:03pm
Last updated by keith_k on Fri, 2009-06-12 03:40

I'm sure this is a dumb question, but hopefully someone will humor me. How do I mimic the exposed filter for group type select on http://groups.drupal.org/groups? Is it a Content Taxonomy field, or something else?

Answer: With Views Module, Turn "Exposed form in blocks" to yes, then enable Block. See this page: http://civicactions.com/blog/2009/apr/28/views_filter_blocks_drupal_6
