Hi,
I am new to Drupal and OpenScholar. I am using OpenScholar to build an academic website for our research lab. I created new content types such as People, Projects, Funding. I want them to function in the same way as existing content types such as Publications, News etc i.e., it allows us to create new content of that particular type by using "Add New" link.
1) How can this be done for my custom content types?
2) When I create a menu item on the home page with ../publications and ../news it works whereas for ../projects, it does not work. I have created a view for projects with ../projects URL, but this has no affect.
3) Is there a way to interlink the fields in these content types? For example, the team members (of type People) field in "Projects" content type should be a set of checkboxes allowing the user to pick some of them. In "People" content type, under projects field, it should automatically retrieve all projects in which that particular person works (since this is already mentioned in "Projects" page). How can this be done? Is using tags the only way?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Creating an app did not work.
Creating an app did not work. It gives an exception same as the one I mentioned at https://groups.drupal.org/node/375178
In the link that you pointed out, for some of the steps to create an app, explanation is missing. I followed the steps which I thought were related to me (Steps 1,2,3,9) and I got the exception mentioned above. Is there any way to solve this error?
