Open Atrium

This group should probably have more organizers. See documentation on this recommendation.

This group is to relate experiences with Open Atrium and share ideas about this install profile along with understanding and leveraging Spaces, Features, and Contexts for making it work better for you.

Talk with other community members here, in the issue queue on Community.OpenAtrium.com and on IRC in the #open_atrium channel on freenode.net.

If you're just getting started, you might find the documentation pages useful.

Integrating Content and Learning Management Systems

Posted by Chrissuli on November 9, 2016 at 12:01pm

Hi there,

I have heard that there are already Use Cases given for using Atrium as an LMS (Learning Management System). If so, can anyone tell me what the status of these are?

At present Atrium appears to me to be a well developed collaboration and content management system with many of the features and functionalities already installed for what I was hoping for from an LMS, but, does not appear to have the capability, yet, to perform the more specialist LMS functions, let alone a few special additional functional developments that I have in mind.

Folder page menu

Posted by nkanderson on November 3, 2016 at 5:47pm

I'm on the latest version of OA (2.69), trying to figure out how to set up a folder page (document center item) that contains a menu of the items contained within the folder. Seems like something that should be possible with the menu tree options, but I can't get a contextual menu to work.

I've tried adding different menu panes under Admin > Structure > Panelizer > Document Page > Content. The only one that seems to work (i.e. display anything at all) is the Group Menu. Anyone else run into this issue or have a solution?

Can I use existing Drupal users/logins with Open Atrium? LDAP?

Posted by wheretoplaygames on September 27, 2016 at 2:54pm

Never heard of LDAP until today.

This will be my first Drupal project in 10 years and my first Open Atrium project ever.

The company has an existing public Drupal 7 site and would like to create a separate Open Atrium intranet. Can I use the existing Drupal logins for the new OA2 intranet?

Is LDAP where I should be looking?

Wrapping my head around the Open Atrium Structure

Posted by HJulien on September 9, 2016 at 4:12pm

I'm having difficulty figuring out how to make the structure I need work in Open Atrium. I'm wondering if it's even possible. I'm definitely stumped with the words used and how to map things.

I need to have multiple TYPES of groups that fall into 2 CATEGORIES:

CATEGORIES:
1. ACTION groups (TYPES: examples are topic collaboration and event collaboration)
2. PROFILE groups (TYPES: different types of organizations such as government and business)

In my non-Open Atrium site they were all Organic groups with different types of content types within them.

Content section creation outside a customer sub-space

Posted by coolhandlukek2 on August 26, 2016 at 3:23pm

Hi,

Am using OA2 and I have a general question that seemed to have stumped a couple of the guys that I work with.

Basic setup - OA 2 with the need for a client support ticketing system.

Here is how the site is constructed

Main Space (SUPPORT HOME - Access Public)
The support space for all clients to access, features here include a support wiki's/documents (content) sections.

Subspace (INDIVIDUAL CLIENT SUPPORT PAGES - Group access)
The clients support pages, holding section for the creation and viewing support tickets.

Problem

collaboration

Posted by smalltalkman on August 20, 2016 at 5:51am

Greetings

I see a lot of potential in OA2 but find it very difficult to work with. I encounter a problem and it can take weeks to resolve. I have tried to attract paid support to no avail.

One harebrained scheme is to form a technical collaboration group of others working with OA in a similar way. Fewer members but perhaps more focus and responsiveness. A possibility is common access: see how someone else accomplished something or take a close look at an issue someone else is struggling with.

Using OA for a consultant-led project collaboration system

Posted by stox on August 1, 2016 at 3:21pm

Apologies in advance for the long post, but I'm at the point that I need to lay it all out to get over this hurdle :)

I’m pretty sure I understand the basics of OA but I’m finding some things a bit more difficult than I expected to, so I just want to validate my approach before I sink more time into this. I'm using version 2.65.

I’m looking to use open atrium to build a project collaboration system for consultant-led projects.

Using Blueprints to share Spaces and Files?

Posted by marqpdx on July 4, 2016 at 1:39pm

hi all, a question about blueprints...

as it seems that blueprinting is based on node cloning, i am not sure the best way to do this. i want to create a "master space template" with three pdf's and one panels page.

then, i want to make other new Spaces, based off this master space template. yay, and that works perfectly.

but, what do i do when i have an update to one of those pdf's in the master template? workflow-wise, i want all the already created spaces (from this master template) to receive those updated files, as soon as i upload them to the master template Space.

How do I recreate Group membership field in account settings?

Posted by digitalfarmer on June 22, 2016 at 5:48pm

I managed to delete the og_user_node field while trying to get automatic group membership working.

Don't ask -- it was stupid and ugly.

But now I have an installation with content that I can't add users to groups.

Does anyone know of a quick way to pull this system out of the fire? I'm just getting back into drupal and OA after an absence of a couple years.

Thanks in advance!

Is there any way to control visibility with every discussion post ?

Posted by bojie.wu on June 17, 2016 at 10:02am

I want to create a post just teams, groups, member which I choose can see.
Is any way to do that?

Add Comment Types Within a Single Comment Thread Drupal 8

Posted by kevinschmidt on June 8, 2016 at 1:11am

Using comments can be very useful for collaboration. However, additional functionality is still needed for my intended purposes.

Is it possible to include different comment types within a single comment thread?

Within a single comment thread, different comment types will be marked with Icon Images preceding each comment so they will be easily recognized by the users.

Examples:

Image Icon | Image Comment
File Icon | File Comment
Text Icon | Text Comment

Lucene search on Open Atrium

Posted by raj2ras on May 20, 2016 at 10:20pm

Is it possible to add 'Lucene search' feature to OA2? I would like it to search and index PDFs, DOCX, XLSX and similar files uploaded to OA2 spaces.

Are there any addons or modules that can do this?

Thank you.
-Raj

Open Atrium for schools, and also for issue tracking, any thoughts or experiences?

Posted by Rick Hood on April 27, 2016 at 11:49am

Just looking at OA again (last time was something like 4 years ago). Seems freaking amazing now. Thanks Mike Potter.

Curious who here has used Open Atrium for schools or school-related organizations (e.g. PGO). Seems perfect for that, where spaces hierarchy might be: school district > schools > departments > courses > teachers etc. Any examples? Any issues?

How to create a website generator & Search in everything ?

Posted by SergeBr on April 2, 2016 at 12:38pm

Hello,
I already noticed the power of Open Atrium and since the new theme, it is even more better. Thank you for this :-)

I plan to create a website and I think Open Atrium is the solution, but I do not know how to create it...

I want to create Blueprints for differents Space types:
( WebRadio, WebTV, Projects, Professionals, ... )
Each Spaces has Content types.
( Presentation, Videos, Events, Audios, Articles,... )
A member is able to create his website based on one of these blueprints an must have the ability to add content in it.
Each space must be located on a subdomain.

How to export a space

Posted by Niklas.G on March 27, 2016 at 2:45pm

Sorry for asking but how do I export a space and include both layout and content?

Have made a space look like a lean/business canvas and would like to export it to a new site.

My second question

Made it like a space but are now thinking of making it a section. what is the positive/negative with using a space or a section?

Best regards

Niklas

Using Open Atrium to Schedule Work for a Customer

Posted by pk_uk on March 23, 2016 at 3:10am

My business provides services to customers on a monthly basis and I am considering using Open Atrium as a management system to track the provision of those services to each customer.

Each service (and indeed the process of onboarding a new customer) will have a set of tasks associated with it. For example: Publish Social Media content; the tasks would include procuring the content, reviewing the content, customer sign off, publishing to customer's website, syndication, providing the customer report etc

Spaces & Groups inheritance & permissions

Posted by nkanderson on March 22, 2016 at 9:24pm

Apologies if this is redundant with other documentation out there, but honestly, I've scoured every source of OA documentation I can find and can't come up with a clear answer on how to set up a very basic site in terms of spaces and groups.

Open Atrium Modern Theme

Posted by swampy747@hotma... on March 19, 2016 at 5:25pm

I updated my open atrium to 2.6 and then enabled the Modern Theme. While the banner is green, not much else changed. I don't have the updated menus, and other controls are still where they were, e.g. don't have floating create content etc.

How do I enable everything?
