OpenPublish

I'm pretty new at working with OP and Drupal and I'm using it for about a month now.

I really like OP, but it has an awful lot of features and figuring out how to do something takes a lot of time. I frequently have issues with functionality, theming or layout and usually I can find a workaround and also frequently skip because I can't figure out the remaining 5%

I want to use the node in block-module but Iisn't visible. I checked the input formats, but it's not visible

In the context I assigned the node-in-block to the region I want it to display, but it doesn't show. It shows on the Node-in-Block config, but not on the page itself.
I like the feature, but how do I configure it, so it will show?

I'm beginning with OP so I have questions:

1. I see now that Embedded Media Field 6.x-1.24 need to be Security update. I see here: http://groups.drupal.org/node/60313
   that this module isn't on the list so can I do update this module the same like in fresh drupal installation ?

2. Can I use translate from http://localize.drupal.org/translate/downloads?project=openpublish_core ? and other modules translation from their site - which they are used in OP ?

Has anybody ran into any problems with the Apture toolbar displaying incorrectly at the top of web page? It seems to be working fine with Firefox, Safari, and Google Chrome. However, when using Internet Explorer the formatting breaks and it stays on top of content when scrolled all the way to the top of the page, thus blocking our Top Banner Ad in the header. It should automatically "hide" itself from view when users are at the top of the page.

Please, tell me how I can change menu in openpublish?

I no longer have OP installed, except on one site.

It is practical to give up, because so many issues don't make it viable. In my situation, I have a large number of sites to maintain and OP site defeats purpose.

I would love to work with OP and through issues over time, but I would really need a backdoor.

By backdoor I mean the ability to drop back incrementally, but with module dependencies that cannot be done.

First I think OP should start as a "clean drupal" similar to Acquia Drupal.

Second, there should be a clearly defined upgrade path for adding to OP functions.

The title of this discussion is meant as an honest question, not a slam on the OpenPublish profile. I'm considering moving back to OP after spending time using another platform (its name starts with "W"). That platform is dead-easy to manage and has fine-tuned its updating and maintenance. I'm wondering what (if any) steps I can take to elicit the same ease-of-use (as opposed to ease of modification) with OP? I compare the difference between other online publishing platforms and OP to walking down a street and walking a tight-rope without a net.

I'm having a bit of a time trying to figure out how to restore the "title" of all the blogs on my site. I am not sure but I think this is something that happened when I updated.

All other node titles are fine on home page and their page listing views.

I'm obviously missing where this is happening, where it is controlled. For a while even the author field was missing but I managed to restore that, which was likely caused by my fooling around with it, but I don't know how.

Hello all,

I tried to install OP on a virtual server. The installation stopped showing the following message. I searched, but I couldn't find anyone else with ths problem.

Requirements problem
The following error must be resolved before you can continue the installation process:
