OpenPublish

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

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.

Some useful links:

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

Any ideas?

Slideshow in OP 2.0 is not working, style file missing

Slideshow in OP is not working. Images does not show up in slide show. I don't know the reason for this, but when I go to views it shows that a custom CSS is used to display the slideshow which is actually not found in the location mentioned.

In the admin/build/views/edit/image_gallery_images, a path to CSS file as mentioned in OP 2.0
sites/all/themes/openpublish_theme/css/slideshow.css is actually not found in the theme's css folder.

Is that the reason why slideshow not working?

Topics versus Articles?

Here's something odd: Only one one my articles/ taxonomy and menu items list the articles in that taxonomy, while the rest only display a blank listing page. However, if I substitute topics/ for articles/, the stories list. I would convert all to topics/, but the formatting isn't present as it is with the /articles.

Any reason why the two paths are acting differently?

Calendar and OP?

Can someone suggest how to use the Calendar module with OP? I've seen a number of screencasts and they all revolve around creating a content type of "event", but OP already reserves that machine name. How do I create events and then display them on the Calendar?

Is it possible to upgrade components of OP 1.7 with OP 2.0?

I was wondering if it might be possible to upgrade specific pieces of OP 1.7 from 2.0?

I'm concerned that the full upgrade from 1.7 to 2.0 might be more involved than I would like, especially for my theme, since I didn't properly sub-theme it. Also, I like the functionality of the install as it is now for the most part, so I'm ok with leaving alone as a whole. But there are pieces I would like to see upgraded.

tpl.php files, modules, OpenPublish core, ckeditor, etc...

Especially, if these newer pieces might improve or stabilize the way certain functions work.

Thank you.

Improved RSS Feed?

I notice in my feedburner RSS feed, some extraneous fields are included, such as main image and sub header. How do I limit my feed to just the main content?

Context vulnerability upgrade needed to context 2.0rc4

Just looking at my modules and seemed that context was doomed :(
As seen in this post http://groups.drupal.org/node/60313, we cannot normally upgrade the module as it's patched.

I just repatched the 2.0rc4 and it works without a problem :)

Here's how I did it.
Download the new context 2.0rc4 from http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/context-6.x-2.0-rc4.tar.gz
Open the tar.gz en edit the context.core.inc file.

Go to line #310 and remove the following:
/**
* Implementation of hook_nodeapi().
*/
function context_nodeapi(&$node, $op, $teaser, $page) {

Want to Upgrade from 1.6 to 2.0

I keep hearing that there will be instructions, but where are they?
I need a) instructions from 1.6 to 1.7
and b) then instructions from 1.7 to 2.0

Do the developers have any desire to help us move forward? We all don't have blogs that we can scrap and start over with every two months.
For OP to work, we need to be able to upgrade from version to version.

A how to question

How do you you strip out the section of the page heading such as "Articles in "Business"" and leave just Business with no quotation marks.
Thanks for your help.

This is a two-for-one question: I want to replace the "Articles in 'Section'" text and the front-page 'Blog Blah' text with section graphics (example: TNR and TNR [right column]). How can this be accomplished?

Removing 'Share' Button?

Where is the 'share' button located, so I can remove it? It appears on every article page and it's like a sore-thumb amid the graceful lines of OP.

Help with taxonomy - restore defaults

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to OP and it's great.

However, I somehow lost the "Topic" vocabulary that comes out of the box with OP. Is there anyway to restore this?

Semantic 3rd party freebie tools

Apture, Calais,etc.

These kind of tools do aid in producing more content on sites, but I wonder if these kinds of tools won't eventually haunt us.

All these types of tools have an income or propaganda producing potential for themselves.

The more entrenched they become the more I wonder just where they are going with their "now free" tools.

I don't doubt semantic tools have value for site builders now, but what about the future?

photos not showing up

I'm having some problems having photos placed in the text body showing up. If I use the main photos field, then the photos show. But if try to either place a photo via the uploader in the body editor or embed a remote image, they do not show up in the finished node. You can see them when you are editing the node, but not after you save.

Thanks.

Does OpenCalais integrate with Nodewords?

There is a bug in nodewords where it won't populate the page node description metadata with the node's teaser or taxonomy terms. I have a suspision that it might have something to do with OpenCalais. I just looked on tnr.com, governing.com, Stattler's website and Signal's website and none of them used metadata keywords and the later two didn't have metadata description.

Does this matter? I would just be happen to not bother with this one.

Can not install OP, stop at step #2

Hi,
I am trying to install OP 2.0. It stops at

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

* The OpenPublish installer requires that you create a settings file as part of the installation process.
     1. Copy the ./sites/default/default.settings.php file to ./sites/default/settings.php.
     2. Change file permissions so that it is writable by the web server. If you are unsure how to grant file permissions, please consult the on-line handbook.

Field Contents Obscured

An issue to be addressed for 2.1: Field entries cannot be read. I was trying to edit a tablemanager table and the text in the fields don't fully display; instead you see an upper-portion of a character, rather than the full character, requiring you to guess what you are entering or viewing. This happens in all text entry fields, such as users.

Note: this problem does not exist on non-OP Drupal sites.
