OpenPublish

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.

Somehow an <em> tag got embedded on the page

Posted by pkcho on June 8, 2010 at 6:03pm

A user created a blog, but apparently I did not configure the fck editor correctly and they entered some of their own html tags which has messed up the formatting for that page.

I tried to cut the contents of the post and re-paste it into the content area using "paste as plain-text", to clear out the formatting, but it didn't work.

Somehow, an <em> tag has been embedded on the page, not just the contents of the post itself, messing up the formatting of the entire page.

How do I get rid of the <em> tag, when I do not see it in the content box?

Possible to include and upload images to your comments

Posted by nextmola on June 7, 2010 at 9:24am

Hi,

I can't seem to make it possible for a standard "Authenticated" user to upload images or include them in their comment posts. This is a very important feature for us.

Can anyone point me into the right direction?

Right side region does not appear in article pages

Posted by msidibe03 on June 6, 2010 at 9:30pm

For some reason, the right side region does not appears in Article Pages. I've checked page.tpl and seems alright.

<?php
 if ($right): 
?>

<?php
 print $right 
?>

<?php
 endif; 
?>

This was a problem that started before upgrading from OP 1.7 to 2.0. I was hopping that he upgrade would have fixed the problem.

Anybody has an idea what might be the problem?

Thanks

Losing "wrench" and Create Content pages

Posted by occi64 on June 6, 2010 at 8:27pm

Since using OP approx. each week the side panel for the "wrench" quits working. You can see it, but nothing happens when I click on it.
Also, the Create Content page also disappears from the menus.
Has anyone else had this problem? If so, what is the solution if you've found one?

The last time this happened I cleared the cache of OP, AND the browser cache. However, this time nothing happens.

In addition to that in the right column of the front page double blocks appear, but they are not set in the blocks control panel.
Here is what it looks like roughly:

How do I change permission for my Author Pages so anonymous users can see them?

Posted by pkcho on June 4, 2010 at 5:44am

Can someone please show me what I need to look for to get anonymous users the ability to see Author Pages in OP 1.7.1? I didn't realize till now that anonymous users were not able to see these pages. They get a "You are not authorized to access this page."

I've been looking up and down the permissions page for the permission that would allow this, but can't seem to find it.

Thank you .

RSS - How to Customize RSS Feed?

I want to customize the article fields being sent in my RSS feed. Currently, my RSS feed (served through Feedburner) includes the following:

Headline
Byline
Deck:
Deck Text
Written By:

Related content

I'd like to reduce that list to: Headline, Byline, Deck Text and Body

Converting Content Types

Posted by ithacaindy on May 28, 2010 at 8:01pm

I have nearly 600 blog entries that need to be converted to articles. I'm considering using the nodetypes module, but it says it won't convert CCK types. Is this fine for OP articles? What content type conversion would you recommend?

Context - How to Specify where Views appear?

Posted by ithacaindy on May 27, 2010 at 4:30pm

I created a new context for a landing page by cloning the frontpage. This gives me three columns (props to MarkCos re the #center width). I have a taxonomy, the results of which I want to appear in the left-column. However, that content always appears in the center column (on top of content), with an ad in the left-sidebar and other items in the right sidebar. The context's condition is set to a taxonomy.

To experiment, I deleted all content from every column, cleared the cache, but still content appears. Is there a sitewide context interfering?

What am I missing?

Menus - Child Item Taxonomy Not Working

Posted by ithacaindy on May 26, 2010 at 3:02am

I have a child menu item called "Crime." It is a child term of "Local" which is a term of "Topic." My question is how do I list "crime" articles? If I select the "Local" menu item, I get the path /articles/Local and all articles with the "Local" taxonomy are displayed using the "articles" view and context. What do I need to do to get the same display for child menu items?
