Sub Groups?

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me how I can make sub-groups using organic groups? I added OG subgroups module to my site thinking that would work, but nothing seems to have happened...

I've used that module in the past.

I think it works a lot like the book module outline feature. You just need to add another group and declare it a sub through a pull down.

You should think about attending our next meeting - http://groups.drupal.org/node/18669
I'm sure together we could get this working for you in now time.

My next question...

I am trying to come up with a way to keep track of pledges/donations from members of a given group (in organic groups). I am wondering if there is an existing module? If not, I have gone through the tutorials about creating a module, but I am wondering how I would intergrate my module into OG. Btw, I tryed using CiviCRM which had stuff for donations, but I need to accept items other than money as donations. Also, I think CiviCRM is overkill for what I am doing.

On a side note, is there a place where I can find a schedule for your meetings?

Thanks

CCK and Views?

I've only just started using OG (yesterday) and am getting back to speed with Drupal, so mercy if this comment is naive. Seems like you could create 'donations' content type with CCK, maybe control the display with Views and with some measure of access control have OG manage the content type. Would that work?

Well, it seems like that

Well, it seems like that might work, but I am still trying to figure out the details of Drupal. I think I could create a content type. Maybe even get the view working, but I am not following you with having OG do access control??
I'll try :)

OG Access Control

I wasn't sure if you wanted to implement restrictions on who sees your content or groups. I'm getting up to speed on ACL with OG myself, see http://groups.drupal.org/access-control.

I've hit a bump in the road.

I've hit a bump in the road. I can create the content type and add content. When I try to make a view it just shows a list of blank fields of my content type?? Any suggestions??

Views 2?

Are you using Drupal 6 with Views 2? Like everythin with Drupal, it could be a lot of things. Can you post a screen grab of your settings?

I used the Node Hierarchy

I used the Node Hierarchy module to add hierarchy to organic groups in Drupal 6. It does the job. I tried the book module, I don't remember exactly why I passed on it, but it didn't seem to work like I needed it to.

Thanks

Sorry for the slow response. I was able to figure out views a little better and I have been able to get some stuff working although I am still stuck on the donations part. Also, the Node Hierarchy module seems like it works great. I now have working sub-groups and it was very easy to get working. Thanks for everyones suggestions.

Cattlecall:
I am using Views 2 and Drupal 6 with XAMPP. I would post my settings but I am not sure where they are in Drupal. The menu heirarchy is a little confusing I think.
