Hi everyone,
I would love to modify the layout of the Web Manager's group page. I'd model it on the Prairie Initiative group page layout.
I'll share my ideas and would like yours in return... as well as a volunteer to help me make the views, especially if you have admin rights on groups.drupal.org and a good understanding of creating views.
So here's what I think would work well:
Left column (sidebar A):
Mission statement (now in orange) of the group
Group polls
Group events
Group jobs
Center column:
"Sticky at top" discussions
(All other) Group discussions (minus jobs, events, polls if possible) newest at top (same as now).
Right column: same as now, regular groups sidebar B
What do you think? Got any other ideas? Anyone volunteer to help create this? Thanks!

Admin
Hi Marilyn,
I would like to help with this. I'm sorry for not responding sooner, I got sidetracked on another project. If you are still looking for someone to help admin I would like to give it a shot.
Thanks,

I went ahead and made you
I went ahead and made you admin for this group. See if you have access to this:
These custom pages are built with (an older version of) Panels. I'm pretty bad at it myself. Feel free to create your own test page and try things out. You can keep it unpublished while experimenting. Other group admins can see them and help review if needed :)
Thanks for stepping in!
Thanks Roy, I can see that
Thanks Roy, I can see that page. I'll give this a whirl and see what I can come up with.
Thanks again,

CSS
Is there a way to add custom CSS per panel of content or is that restricted? I see the options available to add classes or IDs but but I don't know what's in the CSS file. Is there a way to do inline CSS edits like
style="padding: 10px;"? I have tried but I've been unsuccessful. Mainly just want to add some padding, change background on links, ect, nothing radical, just improve display.If inline styles aren't available is there a list of available CSS classes and IDs we are allowed to use?

I have found by using my Mac
I have found by using my Mac with Safari in developer mode just where the css is coming from some in systems and some in dependencies like Boron. I am using 960GS and though it looks like it is not underdevelopment any more it works great after the extra layouts are added. I right click and select Inspect Element.
I just checked Safari for Windows and it can do it also. You would turn on develop mode under the advance settings.
I added at first by looking in the css files for the 960GS then I found system modules took over like the first menu item so I copied that into html.css and it over rode once I did the system one.
http://eclipsebiitsolution.com My personal playground.
From the system css file:
li a.active {color: #000;
}
That over rode the below.
Well I was calling:
a:hover {
color: #aaa;
text-shadow: #fec00a 1px 1px 2px;
}
a:active {
color: #999899;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:link {
color: #ccc;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:visited {
color: #FEC00A;
text-decoration: none;
}
So I added
li a.active {color: #999899;
}
to match my colors but with the selector defined by the system and added that to the html.css file

Thanks folks, for helping us
Thanks folks, for helping us move forward. I set up the home2 using Views and Panels, without using CSS.
Kevin, I believe that for security reasons, our abilities, even as admins, are severely limited. Views is handling display, I believe, and that's what we are working with. I can still ask others how their pages were done, if that would help. Panels and Views, not CSS, I believe is the answer.
Best, Marilyn
Ah, OK, now I know. I
Ah, OK, now I know. I suspected that might be the answer but I wasn't sure. Thanks, Marilyn!
@headdragon thank you for trying to answer my question. I was specifically referring to the OG Panels for this Web Managers group. I wasn't clear enough with my question, sorry about that.
