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

    Clone context: frontpage (add button not working)!

    Hi,

    Is there a reason why when I press the ADD button in the Context UI nothing happens this with Firefox and IE. I have drupal 6.14 and OpenPublish 1.6.0.

    The only thing I'm capable of doing is deleting a section by pressing the X.

    Do somebody has an idea or can help.

    thanks.

    Help. Site lost its structure

    I was trying to install a plugin and I changed the read/write/execution permissions for my entire website.
    Now my theme seems to have disappeared.
    Have a look at the two screens. The first is what it looked like. The second is what it looked like now.

    Anyone have any idea if I can salvage this? If so, how?
    It appears that the modules and views and everything work.
    But the theme/context/blocks are have lost all their form.

    n00b help, can't find the getting started guide

    I have a lot of really basic questions that I don't want to trouble you guys with. I have build Drupal sites before but this is the first distro I've worked with.

    I can create content types and all that jazz and kinda know my way around Panels and Views after building www.ipswichgigs.co.uk but I seem to have come unstuck trying to get anything out of OpenPublish.

    The getting started guide doesn't appear to be present on my site http://www.airmicdev.com/?q=getting-started, can anyone point me in the right direction?

    How does the demo site accomplish it's look?

    Hey There O.P Team,
    I would like to know how the O.P team achieved the display on the Calias demo site. Basically, how did you get everything to display under the headers such as Latest Headlines, Resources, Blogs, and then when you click on one of the menu items, you get the nice display with the teasers/images.

    Are these views and such already established? What would I need to do to recreate them if they're not?

    Thanks
    Devon

    A really simple bit of theming help needed to remove just one blue bar!

    I've been using Drupal for a few fairly low key sites for a while now and am ready to start offering some more complex sites to my bigger clients.

    The OpenPublish package is looking great so far, but I've got just one problem I can't get nailed with the OpenPublish theme. How the duece can I remove the teal coloured bar from the header here www.airmicdev.com It doesn't appear to be an image and I've gone through the OpenPublish CMS and really can't figure out where it lives!

    I know I'm probably going to feel fairly daft when I find out!

    Hello Everyone,
    I would like to know what method everyone is using to display their content. My plan is to use a combination of panels to create a "News Centers" which will list all the content and handle paging. I have also considered using the Taxonomy Menu module.

    What's your set-up like?

    Anonymous user not able to see to see the ad blocks

    I'm probably missing something really obvious here, but I've uploaded my site to a live server and now my ad blocks are not visible to the anonymous user.

    I've looked at the Context module settings and don't see how I can assign visibility to a block per user type, as I can with the regular blocks settings. The User Pages conditions shows different users, but does not offer an anonymous user option.

    Thanks,
    Joe

    Front page is blank -- Using context

    I create content and click promote to front page, but the usual content area front page stays blank.
    Also, when I go into context, there appears to be a way to manipulate the left and right sidebars, above the content, below the content ... but not the actual content?
    What am I missing?

    Can't get Flags to work in Open Publish

    I'm trying to implement Flags on my site (Open Publish 1.6), following the steps mentioned in the "Using Drupal" book. The steps seem simple enough, but for some reason the "flag this event" text does not show up on the event node.

    I have included an image with parts of the flag setting and the node.

    If someone could help me with this it would be greatly appreciated. The more I read about flags, the more excited I get about it. It would be nice to get it working.
