Advanced Poll Module vs. Poll Module

Recently, there was a Poll put up in our local group to select which day of the week to have the local meet-ups. Since the Poll Module will only allow for a single radio button answer ... this brings up the question ... why doesn't Groups.Drupal.org us the Advanced Poll Module?

In my specific example, the use of Approval Voting would have been more practical for our vote than just pick one.

Is there some reason Adv Poll Module is not used? ... or is it as simple as no one has asked?

BTW, count this as me asking for the Advanced Poll Module!

Thanks.

Change "subscribe" to "join group"

I don't use OG, so I don't know if this is a minor change or a major one. But, after reading http://groups.drupal.org/node/6438#comment-20339 , it occured to me that "subscribe" is a confusing term. Calling it "Join Group" might be better.

Type based distinction for events, location information

Currently, our event listing is a flowing river of information and it is quite hard to distinguish between different types of events. I proposed that we add an event type vocabulary, which allows events to be tagged as being of specific type. Let's collect the list we are interested in having for events:

  • User group meeting
  • Regional conference
  • International conference
  • Virtual meeting (IRC meetings, Drupal dojo)
  • Training

Is there a "Og Groups" Group?

Ok... strange question but is there a dedicated group for the OG Groups Module or is that just kind of part of this main group for all questions and such?

Call for icons

Hi all. I would love for someone out there to contribute six icons for this site. They would represent the node types in use here.

  • poll
  • event
  • story
  • wiki page
  • job
  • group

I need a small version which will go in each row on listings like on the tracker page. Also a larger version which will go at the front of every node title on the group home page.

If anyone can point me to freely available ones thats welcome as well.

Wiki pages with comments?

I was looking at the Call for install profile ideas wiki page and noticed it had comments.

While there’s no link to leave the first comment, if you go http://groups.drupal.org/comment/reply/5653/ you can comment.

When I try that with the Unconference wiki page in the Newspaper on Drupal group or the TinyMCE FAQ in the TinyMCE Development group I get an error saying, “This discussion is closed: you can't post new comments.”

How do you transfer ownership of a group?

I have an old user account which is the owner of a group and I would like to transfer ownership to my new account. The My Subscription page lends a clue with the message:

You may not unsubscribe from this group because you are its owner. A site administrator can assign ownership to another user and then you may unsubscribe.

I have made my new account an admin in the group, yet no new options appear to transfer ownership. Surely there is a way to accomplish this.

Organic Groups Home does not honor post settings... Does not show pagination!! can the gurus help

I have asked this on main drupal and cant seem to get any answers. Since I am trying to do excatly as this site does hopefully some can help me. I imagine this must be a common problem. But I cant seem to find an documentation.

I cant seem to get pages (pagination) on organic group home pages. I did not do anything special.

Create a type called group content type. no special fields.

Enabled that as the home page. allowed blog and other content types.

When I post I see on the main page that it honors the post settings (I have set it at 3 and it creates pages)

Was groups.drupal.org built with organic groups?

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this. Excuse me if it isn't.

Was groups.drupal.org built with organic groups? I believe I heard that groups.drupal.org built with organic groups in a podcast (maybe Lullabot?) in passing. The podcasters were very nonchalant about it like building groups.drupal.org was no big deal.

When Jobs Attack!

When creating a job in Groups, it posts them on the sideboard, and then also places them in the center column. For those of us who create jobs that can telecommute from anywhere, we have to sign up for every local group, and the local group gets spammed in the center column with our stuff. I figure the local groups would rather have the focus on what they are working on rather than a ton of us pounding them with job offers. And we're only allowed to choose 4 locales at a time.

So I suggest the following:
1. removing job listings from the main column.
2. Creating a new taxonomy for development groups vs locative groups (maybe broken down by country.)
3. Allowing job descriptions to be posted across all locations in said taxonomy with one click rather than signing up for a million groups.

OR

have a preference setting allowing group admins to choose wether job listings can be posted to the main section of their group.

Thoughts?

Duplicate email notifications

Right now when a post is submitted to multiple groups and a user is signed up to those groups we get multiple email notifications with the same email. Is there any "easy" way to set it up so there is only one email notification per post and that it lists the groups that the post belongs to? It's not a huge deal but would help when going through emails. :-) Moshe and anyone else, any ideas on this? Is it possible and how much work would it be?

I searched and found a feature request here:
http://drupal.org/node/124252

Thanks,

Enable diff.module for wiki page

Actually, the title says it all - would be great to have the diff.module enabled for wiki pages, and to give the permission to view revisions to all group members. That would increase the usability of the "groups wiki" significantly, as it's currently not possible to track the revisions and changes of a certain page (at least for non-site-admins).

Regional group distribution

With tons of help from glendac and some assistance from simplymenotu, we've created a Google map that plots where all of the local user groups are on groups.drupal.org, along with their size, as of last week sometime.

You can check it out here:

It's very cool to see how global our little community is. :)

Multiple Group Admins?

One thing that's coming up in the Drupal Dojo group, one of the most active groups here, is the need to start sharing administrative rights with more users. There are times when I'm offline for a few days, and the group could use a administrative assistance. For instance, we're trying to run a new "patch spotlight" feature which involves setting a sticky node for each new patch. It would be great to let add1sun do this herself.

I'm interested and willing to put some development cycles towards this if need be. However, I also have a sneaking suspicion that this might be already possible and I'm just missing it. Anyone know?

How does breaking off into metros affect the SoCal Group?

Hey y'all -

Really glad to see that LA now has it's own group. I was involved in the tail end of the discussion (w/ jpklein), and I'm unsure if the point that mikey_p brought up was talked about. Seems to almost make sense. If we take out all the LA and SD people (from the SoCal Group) who/what are we left with? Not sure if and/or what the proper procedures/protocol are for these types of things....

Can't edit my vocabulary terms

I recently started the group vBulletin and I accidentally added a term I which I no longer need. When I try to edit any of my terms I just get an error that I'm not authorized to view the page.

Am I missing something somewhere that allows me to do that?

Feed for new groups

Maybe I'm missing something obvious here, but is there a feed for the most recent/new groups on the site? I subscribed to the main groups feed (http://groups.drupal.org/og/all/feed,) but that just listed all the groups, not the newest ones listed in reverse chronological order.
Thanks,
Chris

What does g.d.o use for its members to post events?

In taking a look at the contributed Event module, I noticed that its latest release is 4.7.x-1.x-dev. I also noticed that g.d.o's About page does not list the Event module.

What does g.d.o use for its members to post events? If it does use the Event module, how is that possible since g.d.o runs on 5.x and the Event module is still 4.7.x?

Thanks,
Walt
