OpenPublish

Community discussions around Open Publish distribution.

OpenPublish is a packaged distribution of Drupal, that has been tailored to the needs of today's online publishers. OpenPublish is ideal for the implementation of a variety of media outlet's sites including: online magazines, newspapers, journals, trade publications, broadcast, wire service and membership publications. Built and supported on standard Drupal core (currently Drupal 6x), OpenPublish features support everything from basic news coverage needs to Web 2.0 trends, social publishing, semantic tagging and topic hubs. Each component bundled in the distribution is well supported, documented and modularly designed according to Drupal's architecture.

Views theming template file placement?

Posted by pkcho on January 20, 2011 at 5:51pm

I created a panel page and am trying to place a variant of the Homepage Articles block in a panel. When it displays, some of the formatting is lost...

The "views separator" is gone and therefore the "clear: both" from the css, so basically, the space between articles is messed up and the articles are blending into each other without separation.

I went into the View and am trying to duplicate the views theme template file and rename it for this panel.

disabling apture search toolbar

Posted by Citizen on January 17, 2011 at 6:14pm

Does anybody know if there is a way you can disable and/or hide the Apture search toolbar for administration pages? It would be nice to be able to turn it off while logged in as admin, but it still be functional for others. If you are familiar with the Curlypage module - http://drupal.org/project/curlypage - it has an option where you can disable it from showing up on adminstration pages ... it would be nice to have that option with Apture search toolbar, too.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Does anyone know what this means, or what this affects in OpenPublish?

How I (finally) got captions to display.

Posted by Dave R. on January 16, 2011 at 1:35pm

This is how I added captions, or cutlines, to the Articles content type in Openpublish. I hope that it is helpful to anyone who, like me, spent untold hours trying to figure it out.

First, add a field to the Article content type (../admin/content/node-type/article/fields). I labelled mine Caption and gave it the name field_main_image_caption. I chose Text for the field type and gave it a textfield size of 200.

Next, add something like: $vars['main_image_caption'] = $vars['field_main_image_caption'][0]['view'];

override page-front.tpl.php with subtheme problems

Posted by hamish on January 16, 2011 at 12:47pm

I can't seem to override the page-front.tpl.php with my subtheme's page-front.tpl.php. I have tried deleting the main themes file but this does not make the subtheme's -front.tpl visible. I have followed the ardi procedure and created the folder page where i load the pages that need be overridden within the subtheme. I can override the other tpl pages but not the page-front.tpl.php.
Any suggestions, thanks

Is OpenPublish ready for prime time for the small sites?

Posted by riverrat on January 15, 2011 at 10:12am

I have spent three months trying to set up a multilingual site using OpenPublish (2.3) with Drupal 6.20 and calendar and i18n.
I have encountered so many major problems in so many areas I am beginning to wonder whether this is a package best left for big sites having lots of resources and experience or is it just me being absolutely thick. To help undertand my problems I have categorised the problems encountered below:-

Installation Error

Posted by atheneris@yahoo.com on January 14, 2011 at 8:50pm

I am trying to install the profile. First off it never asks me for DB info, but seems to create the database anyway. Sometime during the install it tells me there is an error and give me a link to the error page. The error page is blank. Here is the error:

The installation has encountered an error.
Please continue to the error page
An HTTP error 500 occurred. http://imaneinstein.com/install.php?locale=en&profile=openpublish&id=1&o...

Any thoughts?

Multi-lingual menus

Posted by riverrat on January 14, 2011 at 8:17pm

I need to be able to have primary links in English and French. The basic OpenPublish 2.3 accomplishes this for some terms, e.g. Home to Accueil, but not the terms that I have added to Primary links and also all the secondary level of primary links.
I have added the translated terms into the translation files, all of them (as I am not sure which makes the change. I have cleared the cache BUT the menu stays the same except for the original OP translations.
I have even installed i18n and translated the menu terms using that but still no change from the original OP trans.

Portraits sized too big

Posted by jaarong on January 13, 2011 at 2:56pm

When we post the main image into an article in OpenPublish that has portrait dimensions, it ends up being way too big (in our humble opinion) in the article view. For landscape pictures, it works nicely. Some of the pictures are sent to us and can't be cropped to landscape proportions. What's the best solution within OpenPublish or Drupal to fix this?

OpenPublish 2.3 Updates?

Posted by bigkevracer on January 13, 2011 at 1:34pm

Hi there.

From previous experience, I have learnt not to update modules independent of the core OP updates unless specifically advised.

Going through the group history, I found this list of modules which shouldn't be updated:
OpenPublish 2.2.x
* Admin
* Features (not patched but versions post-beta8 have significant API changes which require re-export of almost all exported features and thorough testing. Update coming in OP 2.3)
* Context (patch accepted but upgrade awaiting Features update to not break exported features).
* Acquia Search
* CKeditor

Divs show up in my views carousel display

Posted by pkcho on January 10, 2011 at 7:19am

I was creating a new views carousel block for the Articles views, alongside the Homepage block and Featured Article block, and I encountered something very odd.

I choose to delete the extra fields that I didn't need...

Content: Main Image thumbnail image linked to node
(Author(s)) Node: Title
(Author(s) Counter) Node: Title Title
Node: Teaser
Content: Teaser Default

so, all I had left is...

Content: Thumbnail
Node: Post date
Node: Title

Magazine Archives functionality?

Posted by rahuldewan on January 9, 2011 at 5:52pm

Hi,

We require a specific feature of creating print magazine archives on the lines of - http://www.openthemagazine.com/table-of-contents/grid_view ; with a click to see a TOC of that magazine. I could not locate this in the features listed on the website. Is this possible using OpenPublish?

We've been implementing online publishing websites using Drupal; and are now looking to adopt OpenPublish to reduce the cost of website implementation for smaller print magazines originating in India.

Thanks,

Configuring authored on format

Posted by vonfracas on January 7, 2011 at 4:47pm

I'm trying to find a way to configure the Authored On format within Create Content. The current configuration in Create Content is 2011-01-07 10:43:29 -0600. I need to change that to allow an entry formatted like this m/d/Y. I've configured the obvious places (Site Config/Date and Time > Formats) to no avail. Please help.

Recurring events in OP

Posted by pkcho on January 6, 2011 at 6:04pm

I just started using OP 2.3 and noticed that the Event content type does not allow for recurring events.

Is the event content type using any customize code? Or can I look for a module to add that feature? Or is this something that is planned for a future release?

Thank you.

Movie Publishing Functionality

Posted by subu.purohit on January 6, 2011 at 5:46am

Hi,
As I know that Openpublish is purely publishing purpose package like news publishing and it has some
features (News, Events, Article, taxonomies etc.) for that. But there are no one for movie publishing like
movie/artist content types. So I created two content types movie and artist, but now I am getting
trouble to create interrelationship among these. Is there any better way to implement movie publishing site
or OP has some modules for movie-artist relationship. So do anyone have some suggestions for me ?

Thanks
