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
I need taxonomy terms on $body_classes in order to theme individual nodes according to subject.
Does anyone knows why OpenPublish will not allow for taxonomy terms to appear on the body tag? I have been trying to change template.php with the following functions:
<?php
function phptemplate_id_safe($string) {
// Replace with dashes anything that isn't A-Z, numbers, dashes, or underscores.
$string = strtolower(preg_replace('/[^a-zA-Z0-9_-]+/', '-', $string));
// If the first character is not a-z, add 'n' in front.
if (!ctype_lower($string{0})) { // Don't use ctype_alpha since its locale aware.
$string = 'id' . $string;
}
return $string;
}
Multilanguage site

I'd like to configure a multi language site with Open Publish.
Is it possible? Where can I investigate?
Thanks.

Read moreImages Not Displaying Properly
I am very very new to Drupal and am switching over from a pure XHTML/CSS site I have been working on. I am running into an issue where, when I am uploading a main image for an article, my copy of the image is 200x275px, however, the one that is displayed on the front page and in the article itself are double that size. I suspect I am just missing something very obvious, but can someone help me figure out what that something is? Cheers.
Read moreOP 2.2 Admin Theme has problems///Apture feature doesn't work//
Hello,
If I try to use context with admin theme, my blocks don't show. Anyone else have this problem? I have to use OP as my admin theme to work with context.
Also, at various times on my site, apture really works nicely. You can hover over related content video, for example, and the youtube video will pop up.
But typically, this doesn't work at all. Instead, it's just a regular old link. BORING.
Anyone know what might cause this?

Workflow out of the box?
Hello,
I was considering OpenPublish instead of using WordPress. I figured a bundled install profile of Drupal would be quick enough to compete with what WordPress comes with out of the box. (I can configure Drupal as I need it, but cost/time is an issue in this case.) However, I didn't see any mention of built-in workflow functionality, which I would think is necessary for any real publishing company or newspaper. And I didn't see a demo site anywhere (although I did see some nice OP sites listed in the showcase thread).
Read moreHow do I create a view that only displays authors with blogs?
Basically, I want to create a views listing page that displays the Author node type, but only for Authors that have blogs associated with them.
I know this will require an argument of some sort, but I'm not very savvy at using arguments.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

changing my sites from drupal 6.x to Openpublish
Hi all,
I am after some help and/or guidance for changing my Drupal 6 site to Openpublish. I have had a site online for two years now http://www.mylocalelectrician.co.uk which uses Drupal and I am more than happy with the site! Now that I seen what Openpublish has to offer I feel that this would be the better option for me now.
What I am after doing is to create a configured / default theme that I can use across my network of online magazine's for the trade. Basicly so I can just upload the relevant Logo, change the menu names and maybe the colour scheme.
Read moreBuggy installation
I themed a site and upgraded twice 2.0 -> 2.1 -> 2.2. Unfortunately my installation seams to be buggy for some reason. There are three issues that I am not able to sort out.
-
Sorting content under an hierarchical primary links menu three doesn't work any more. This is very irritating since it affects the usability of navigation. When content is assigned a menu three parent, this information isn't being saved.
-
Articles formated with titles (like h1, h2, h3 etc.) is displayed as paragraph instead when parsed, even though title formatting is saved in the post. Very odd indeed.
Question about OP core
Hello,
my question may seem stupid, but I have to be sure about the issue, since I plan to use OP for a production page.
Are there any changes in OP core regarding to Drupal core? If OP core gets outdated, could I upgrade it using official Drupal release?
THX,
JAnez

Tattlerapp questions
Help! This is driving me crazy. I'm trying to customize tattler so that I can output RSS feeds from bookmarked mentions that contain the full text of the feed item. The full text is in the database, but whenever I go to edit a mention, the full text is not displayed. It looks like there is a custom node edit template for the mention content type, but I've searched through the tattler theme to no avail. I've even loaded Garland as the default theme and the node edit form remains customized.
Read moreDuplicate Most Used Terms
I am using the Most Used Terms block on my home page as delivered by OP2.1 out-of-the-box. For some reason, one of the terms that appears in the block -- "Economics" -- appears twice. No other term appears more than once. As I understand it, these terms come from Calais, so is this a Calais problem or something in the definition of the View that provides that block?
Thanks.
Read moreDrupalCon SF 2010 Training
I've found some posts in this group from March indicating that there was an OpenPublish training session at DrupalCon SF. Does anyone know if this session was videotaped, audio recorded or had presentation materials? I am particularly trying to understand:
- The role and use of the many Taxonomy vocabularies in OP.
- How to add new Features (i.e., content type and views and vocabulary for new functionality) to OP.
Thanks.
Read moreAdd First and Last Classes to Nav Links
In Openpublish 2.0 the main menu links had a class for the forst link and last link.
Openpublish 2.2 does not have these classes which are essential for some creative css work.
How can I add these class to the first and last links in the menu?
I see that print theme('openpublish_menu', $expanded_primary_links); is being used instead of print theme('links', $primary_links, array('class' => 'links primary-links')) which doesn't seem to use the openpublish_theme_menu_item() function.
How can I accomplish this?

Read moreImage in a Custom Block
Can someone tell me the correct way to insert an image via custom block in OP? I do have Full HTML turned on but when I save the block it renders wrong in the browser. Is there a setting I am missing?
For example, this code:
<a href="http://www.decaturfarmersmarket.com><img src="sites/default/files/ads/decatur_farmers_market_Color.gif"/></a>
Gets rendered in FireFox as:
<a decatur_farmers_market_color.gif="" ads="" files="" default="" sites="" href="http://www.decaturfarmersmarket.com><img src="/>
Node Embed
How does this work?
I've tried to add pictures/slideshows/videos and it seems to go through the process. I select the node. Hit apply. But when I hit OK, nothing is added.
Full-Size Images in Articles and Lightbox
The Article content type accommodates an image and its thumbnail. If the full-size image is larger than the width of the image <div> on the full node Article page, the image is cropped. I would have expected an imagecache pre-set to be applied to reduce the image to the proper width or height as applicable. I also would have expected a click on the image to open a Lightbox of the full-size image or some other imagecache pre-set. Can this functionality be accomplished with OP 2.1 or OP 2.2 (which I have not yet installed)?
Thanks.
