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.

Important note: in order to fix consistency issues and critical bugs, in a timely manner, OpenPublish had to patch some third-party modules included in it. It's not recommended to independently update those. More information at: http://groups.drupal.org/node/60313
Menus and Submenus in Publisher's Gazette - Openpublish 3 OP3
Hi,
I have created an openpublish site on OP3 using the Publisher's Gazette theme included. I am having trouble creating sub-menus that actually drop down when hovered over or even clicked.
I created this in my main menu in Structure->Menus->Main Menu and I checked the box "show as expanded"
Is there anything I am missing here?
Here are my menu items:
-Sector [Here I've checked "show as expanded"]
--Basic Materials
--Consumer Goods
--Financial
--Technology
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Eric
Looking for someone to create Gazette Subtheme
Hi
I am looking for someone who can do a subtheme of Gazette for my website.
1) change color scheme
2) Change block headline styles
3) Change so it naturally bunches to the left instead of to the middle.
4) Create a nice dynamic display block for featured content.
5) Create more attractive menu style.
6) Doesn't break existing features, like photo galleries/photoswipe
True Mobile -- Reports from the Field/UGC
Phones are becoming more and more important.
If there's a fire, I want to be able to type a few graphs on my phone and post it - along with photos or even audio taken on my phone.
It's very difficult to post a story. It's impossible, as far as I can tell, to upload a photo.
More and more often, news organizations are relying on user-generated content.
OP needs to recognize this and allow users to add photos to galleries, or even to post news tips or neighborhood news, using their mobile technology.
Read moreUsing Other Themes with OP3
Hi,
I'm trying to switch my OP3 site from the Gazette theme to the Quatro theme by Symphony Themes.
For the most part, it's pretty easy as Quatro is built on Omega too. However, where I'm having an issue is Photo Galleries.
Quatro doesn't recognize the way OP does photo galleries at all. Instead of publishing a small version that links to a larger version that can be accessed via Photo Swipe, Quatro just lists giant photos all the way down the page.
Can anyone point me in the right direction here? Where do I start?

How there are some blocks, which are invisible in mobile (~300-500px) widths?
Hi,
I am using CommerceKickstart, OpenPublish and NodeMaker distros - both of them have Omega as default themes.
There is one feature which I like, but cannot control or understand how it works: some of the blocks are visible on wider displays but not on the mobile.
So, I simply got lost is Omega, Context and other related settings adn do not see single option to edit this. Saw similar thread, but this one is talking about MobileTools, which is absent in my case.
Where are those settings???
Read moreChange the order of the node title in the "article list" page view
I'm trying to change the article listing field order, so I've tried to overwrite the page view "Article list". The field order haven't changed. I suppose that another preprocess or alter function is overwriting my custom order.
I've made the article thumbnail picture a little bigger, so what I want is to display the node image just below the article title.
Im a little bit confused…
Can I use an alter or preprocess function in my child theme to fix this issue???
Superfish and OP2.3
I'm using OP 2.3 and want to add superfish menus. I can add them using a context however I want to replace the main openpublish menu with the superfish one.
I've tried changing the php code in the page.tpl file but it's not working.
Has anyone got this working?

How to create install profile based on OpenPublish?

Any suggestions?
