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
frontpage Context blanks out when overridden
We've hit a blocker where our frontpage content disappears whenever we go to override the default context settings. We initially thought it was due to our changes but the content disappears when we select override but make no changes (ie the overridden context settings are the same as the default).
Thoroughly perplexed on this one - any ideas?

How to install jquery-lightbox?
Hi
Is there a way to install jquery-lightbox into slidshow in OP?
(source: http://leandrovieira.com/projects/jquery/lightbox/ )
Why does my installation of OpenPublish end with a blank page?
Trying to install OpenPublish locally with MAMP (on Mac OS 10.6.2) ends with a blank page.
Is this installation different from an ordinary installation of Drupal?
Any suggestions what could go wrong?
Any detailed OpenPublish-tutorials to check out?
Any help is appreciated, I am new at Drupal.
Slideshow Basic?
Anyone know the basics of creating photo slideshow or gallery within OP? My goal is to display a series of grouped photos. For example, a 'parade' gallery would include readers' photos of local parades. How could this be done?
Read moreAnyone using RSS Views - How Does it Work?
I'm looking for a way to control what text is included in my RSS feed (I don't want the teaser, author bio and other extraneous material) and the existing articles feed doesn't permit fields. I'm wondering about RSS Views - it has been recommended, but there appears to be no documentation on how it works. Anyone have experience with this module?
Read moreSeperating css for home page and list elements
I'm trying to change the color of the following -
.views-field-field-teaser-value p {
color: #fff;
margin-bottom: 0;
font-size: .9em;
line-height: 1.4em;
}
But this element controls the values of both elements on the homepage and on index pages with teaser content included.
I am trying to override the color value so that it displays #fff on the homepage and #000 on the index pages.
Any ideas.
I'm guessing this is very simple and I will feel silly very soon. But I'm still trying to get my head round the sub themeing config of version 2.0...
Read moreConfiguring "Most Used Terms" panel
Hi,
I'm trying to limit my "Most Used Terms" to use Taxonomy terms rather than topics. Any ideas on this (if at all possible)? I've look everywhere in Admin but cannot seem to find it - not sure if it has a different name ...
They key aim is to consistently take users to taxonomy pages rather than topics page.
Thanks,
Andrew
How to Migrate OP to Production Site?
I've setup OP on a subdomain. I'd like to use the Backup and Migrate module to backup the database and then move it to the production site. Can someone provide the steps I need to accomplish that? Thanks.
Read moreIs TMA OP Compatible?
I'm wondering whether the "The Morning After" theme is compatible with OpenPublish? I prefer its outward design, but I would like to use OP for some of the back-end issues, such as photo captions.
Read moreCan open publish support mentions and creating feeds based on terms like tattler
Hi
I use tattler because it searches the web based on my terms and creates feeds automatically.
This removes the steps of researching feeds myself.
Does open publish have this ability.
Or can someone explain if there is an external service which will allow me to find feeds? Can I then import them into Openpublish?
Thanks!

Hi Everyone, I'm getting the below message:
"This web site needs a different Google Maps API key. A new key can be generated at http://code.google.com/apis/maps/."
This is odd, I entered the JavaScript API key Google generated but I'm still not having any luck. Has anyone else had this error? And if so, how did you fix it?

I've looked through the OP files, as well as views and content management and don't see a way to upload MP3s to blogs. I've also tried interfacing OPMP3 views with blogs with no success.
Read moreHow to exclude specific vocabulary terms from showing up in the "Related Terms:" list at the end of an Article?
Hi,
I do have 3 vocabularies for articles, but want terms only form one of them to be displayed in "Related Terms:" at the end of the article's page. Is any way to configure it in the OpenPublish or it must be done by modifying php-code with specifying only one term ID? Please guide me as for where to find that configuration screen/php-code.
Thanks,

Getting a video to play from an external link
Hi,
I have been trying to get the "video" content type to play a movie from an external url using the flowplayer without luck.
We encode our own video and place them on a CDN enabled storage network. We use H.264 and all our video files ends on .mp4 for full compatibility on other devices.
I then enter the full URL in the embed field. However, when I do this it tries to use the audio player for playback.
Any ideas on how we can get this to work?
Read moreIssue with the <em> tag embedded in the page seems to be related to a specific author
After some investigation, I found that the issue with the <em> tags being embedded in the page itself (affecting the entire page) instead of the the body of the blog, seems to be connected to the specific author.
I have created a few test blogs which seem to work fine, but when I use a specific author (Marc Emmer), the entire page's formatting gets affected. When I change it to another Author, the entire page's formatting reverts to normal.

Read moreOpenPublish Server Load?
I have successfully installed and set up OpenPublish on shared hosting, but I am getting a few 'Internal Server Errors' that occur on administering the site. The site has no traffic at all (except me) yet.
I am wondering if OP is very server intensive, or if it's possible that the host is not providing much server resources per account.
thanks

Events node type - Can't keep it from being published on home page
I am trying out OP and have a test event. Why do events show up on the home page, even when the 'publish to home page' check box is unchecked? Is this a 'context' setting that needs to be changed?
