OpenPublish

When I saw OpenPublish, it was a perfect sollution for our company (we have a group of magazines and newspapers).

But when I started the process of installation, some very strange problems occured. (you could see the posts in this group).

What I want to say is that OpenPublish seems to be a perfect and powerfull sollution, but this little big problems are quite frustrating...

Of all CMS that I had installed, the OpenPublish was the only one that I couldn´t get the installation with success (and I´ve tried all the sollutions that were gived by the fantastic members in this group).

Hi!

When OpenPublish was throw installation, it stopped before the Calais API Configuration (the screen turned white). Then, I refreshed the webbrowser and the admin panel was showed.

But then, I´ve played the screencast in OpenPublish website and the admin panel in the screencast is a lot diferent. For example:

In screencast the menu is: -content management -site building -site configuration -site management...

In my admin menu: -content -structure - configuration -appearance...

I was wondering if subtheming or overriding CSS is a possibility for the theme provided with OP 1.6?

Hi!

After I started the installation, the famous white screen appeared in the url: .../install.php?profile=openpublish

And I´ve allready change the max PHP execution time to 120.

Now, what I have to do? I have to reinstall the software all over again?

Best regards,

Martino

Thanks to those who have assembled this Drupal package, as this rich semantic information framework has impressive possibilities.

I've to conceed, I'm not a developper nor a tech-geek, but a french journalist (excuse my poor english writing knowledge). My interest in Openpublish is driven 'cause it's close to main needs of a digital publication and, go hundred steps farther.

I've tried to put hands on OP 1.5-309 with a very few results. For yesterday, I've installed and tried to customize OP 1.6-357, and it's really interesting, even amazing in some ways.

Hello All,
Yet another topic of interest to me is content management, especially the management of e-papers and podcasts, both features that my site provides, and quite a few newspapers provide.

My site will feature a weekly/bi-weekly "e-paper" in PDF form, which I would enjoy delivering via email, as well as a podcast that is 15-30 minutes long, and is published daily. The biggest thing on my mind is, how do I deliver this content to subscribers in a fashion that is 1.easy for them, and 2.visually appealing. What modules and techniques can we take advantage of to deliver our content?

I would have loved if by default we could upload any type of video (MPEG, MOV etc) and let the system convert the video to FLV.

Wouldn't it be better to use to use the "FlashVideo" module or even use the Media Mover solution with SWF Tools?

Hello All,
My project with O.P involves providing paid content. In essence, visitors can see only content teasers, while subscribers have access to full stories, forums, etc. As of now, UberCart is looking like the tool of choice for processing subscriptions. This is the workflow...

-User Registers
-After verification, one new menu item is available -"confirm subscription". Their verification email also includes a link to this page.
-The user goes through the checkout process, where they are buying a "role".
-Once payment is complete, the user is granted the "Subscriber" role.

This is very excellent news. I haven't had a chance to look through changes, but will do so today for sure. I've been holding on two sites for this release (I hope).

There were alot of addin things mentioned over the past few weeks that sure will improve the previous version, not that it was that bad.

I'm printing off the upgrade instructions as I write.
