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.

Open Publish 6.x Navigation Structure
Hello Everybody,
I am currently working on my first OP Site.
Have a question / input regarding the whole Navigation System/Structure of OP...
I identified three issues, meybe there are easy solutions available, i couldn't find them in the group nor in the issue queue or OP Documentation:
1) Keeping the Topic-Menu active when displaying a Node/Article
The Topic-Vocabulary builds the Topic-Navigation.
Plupload for galleries
Hello,
I am able to create new content types with the plupload widget that allows for multiple uploads. But I can't seem to find a way to integrate plupload with the existing OP Photo gallery...
As it exists, the photo gallery isn't much use as it is far too time consuming if you have more than 5 or 6 pictures.
It appears that one is not apple to change the widget on the existing op photo galleries content uploader as the entry is written into the code.
If I created a new gallery, what would I need to do to make the gallery employ the very nice photo gallery used in Gazette's theme?
Read moreDate Tab
Hi,
I am using the gazette tab and wish to turn off the "date" on the user menu.
It seems to only work for some browsers and wreaks havoc with my ability to create a logo.
Is there an easy way to do this?
If not, can someone point me to where I can find this in the CSS so I can remove it?
Thanks!

Dumb question: how to get content to display on section fronts?
I am playing with the new OP 3 beta2 and I'm trying to figure out how to get content to display on section fronts.
I've created section front content (Home page, News and Sports fronts), and I have associated the News front with the News section taxonomy and the Sports front with the Sports section taxonomy, but when I create Sports content and assign it to the Sports section, it does not appear in the Sports front.
I know I'm missing something obvious, but I can't seem to figure it out yet. Can someone point out what I'm missing?
Thanks,
Joe
OP Beta Looks very nice. Gazelle is really smooth.
Great job.
I love the gallery too.
I've tried adding plupload and other bulk uploaders, but can't seem to make it work
Anyone have suggestions?
Read moreHow do I change the Photogallery
I wish to use jquery for a photo gallery.
How do I accomplish this.
the photo gallery view seems to allow me to change the pager and the block, but not the actual gallery.
When I got into stucture/content types, there don't appear to be options there, either.
Weird - sub-theme of OpenOmega has extra (unwanted) content on front page
Hello.
I created a sub-theme of OpenOmega for OpenPublic beta8. It shows additional content (More News Promoted content) on the front page of the sub-theme but not in the original theme.
Also, that content displays formatted only when the Debugging feature, grid and blocks, are enabled. I've look at this in Firefox 14, Chrome 20 and IE 8.
Q: Can someone else see if they get this same result, please?
~~~
Also, in IE8, not all of the /template/ files are displaying the same as in Firefox and Chrome.
Q: Are differences expected upon creating a sub-theme, when a folder is duplicated, customizing file names, etc. with the new folder name?
Thanks.

Read moreHow? Create a copy of an OpenPublic and OpenPublish packaged theme to customize
Hello.
I installed OpenPublic beta8 yesterday.
I want to make a working copy of OpenOmega so not to make changes to the original theme.
How would I do that? Where should it be copied to? Could I also add blocks to Structure -> Blocks or must all blocks be located via Structure -> Context? How to not have the demo info in that OpenOmega copy?
I want to make OpenPublic with OpenOmega easy to update in the future without overriding my theme customizations.
(Note: I need the answers/procedure for copying themes that are packaged with OpenPublish, also for the same reason.)
Thanks.

Read moreWhat drives all OP Content into the same group?
Hi, I am working with OP 3.0.
As installed, OP groups all OP content (blogs, articles, polls, galleries, videos, events) into the same catchall "content" grouping. So therefore, they all just stack on top of eachother in the same context block.
I want to separate them all into their own blocks and place them in different places around the front page, there are no views for this.
How do I go about this?
Gallery - Bulk Upload
I am getting into OP 3.0 and I just wanted to point out that the gallery content is cumbersome because we can only upload one photo at a time.
Are there plans to change this?
Also, how would one go about configuring the gallery with a slider or slideshow?

Read moreSeparating Content on the Front Page
Hi, I've just returned to OP today and gotten the chance to figure a few things out. (like, changing the view from structure/content)

Any advice?
