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.

Double Articles on Homepage

Posted by ithacaindy on April 20, 2010 at 7:07pm

I've been working on my views today, and somewhere I must have introduced a bug. Now, when I publish a new article to the home page, not only does it appear in the featured view, but it also appears in the next row below, on the homepage view. I checked my content, and there is only one story, but it appears twice.

The question is, what is causing this with views and where should I look to correct the problem? I've checked the Default in articles, and nothing seems out of the ordinary.

You can check out what I mean by visiting my front page.

Panels, Openpublish and custom frontpages

Posted by kenyan on April 20, 2010 at 3:36pm

I am using OP 2.0.
I basically do not mind the stock OP theme. But I have absolutely no use for content regions that will not collapse when empty for one and I would prefer a slightly different layout.
So I figured that instead of going the subtheme way ( I lack the skills), I would simply create a new Panel page, set to be my homepage, disable the frontpage context (it has its own idea of regions as far as I am concerned), load content just the way I want and .......
Well, not voila!

Articles not Sorted By Date

Posted by ithacaindy on April 19, 2010 at 1:15pm

I have a problem with articles not being sorted by date published. I have as my lead article (at least OP 2.0 considers it that) a sports story published at 11:21 a.m. However, newer stories (12:46 p.m. and 10: p.m.) are lower down on the page in positions I thought were for older stories.

Any idea why this is happening?

How to Limit Front Page Articles?

Posted by ithacaindy on April 18, 2010 at 5:04pm

Is there a simple, non-invasive way of limiting which articles (as opposed to blog posts or forum entries) appear on the front page? I've unselected "publish on front page" in the editor, but minor articles I want to limit to a section appear as the lead on the front page.

Adsense Not Visible

Posted by ithacaindy on April 18, 2010 at 2:37pm

I want to use Adsense for my remnant ad space. I attached the code for a leaderboard and a 300x250 rectangle, using the provided blocks in OP. While the Adsense Javascript code appears when I view the source, the areas remain blank. The additions were made a day ago (Saturday), and I told it to serve PSAs until a suitable ad was ready. However, no ads appear. Anyone else have luck with Adsense?

How to disable CKEditor

Posted by stattler on April 18, 2010 at 12:20pm

I do not use any WYSIWYG Editor. Unfortunately, the CKEditor in OP 2.0 is a required module for OP_Default and OP_Audio. How do I disable CKeditor and use my good old BUEditor? Currently BUEditor is enabled but its not showing up.

Cleanest RSS?

Posted by ithacaindy on April 17, 2010 at 9:34pm

I'm looking for the best way to plug the all articles into feedburner for distribution to readers. I used the /articles/all link, but it produces messy results which includes internal fields, such as "Deck," "Main image" and "Thumbnail image" prompts in the output. What's the recommended way to output a clean RSS feed?

Posted by ithacaindy on April 17, 2010 at 3:30pm

Are drop-down menus possible with OP 2.0? It's been a while since I've used Drupal, so mabye I'm missing something. I created a menu, attached /articles/menuname to the path, then moved the "politics" menu item under it. The main menu appears, but the politics category menu does not appear below.

Started getting an error when attempting to preview an article

Posted by pkcho on April 17, 2010 at 3:40am

For some reason, I'm starting to get an error when I want to preview an article using OP 1.7.1.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function related_terms_links() in /home/scvbj/public_html/beta01/sites/all/modules/openpublish_core/theme_helpers/node-article.tpl.inc on line 54

I can save the article fine (whew!), but I am consistently getting this error with preview.

Help...

Thanks.

Prev / Next pager on nodes rendered using Views

Posted by Adam S on April 15, 2010 at 11:41am

I see this on many newspaper sites and wanted to create this functionality for OpenPublish. On each article is a link to next and previous articles. This is a great devise to get people to stay on the website and read more. If I could get each visitor to click on on more article it would be a great for revenue by increasing page views by 20%.
