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.

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
Looking for Paid Subscription access module
I'm looking for a module that - or some method - that has a User/client pay for a subscription at login.
In other words, if one wants to subscribe to the Journal/Magazine, then you are asked to pay via PayPal, and upon success returned to the appropriate Magazine page.
For example. I have Moodle installed on my site, and it has this function to allow access to courses.
To use the site - other than look at the front page, a user registers, leaving their email address. Ok, that's normal.
Going to Drupalcon? Tell us what you want to see in OpenPublish!
Hi everyone! Some of you may remember that I posted a few months ago asking for features and functionality that you would be interested in seeing in OpenPublish. The OpenPublish team has reviewed your suggestions, and we have added several of them to our roadmap. Because our distributions are constantly changing, I thought Drupalcon would be a great place to talk to some of you who may have constructive feedback on how you've been using OpenPublish. What do you like, what don't you like, and what could we be doing better?

I'm having a very frustrating issue with jquery. I am trying to co-oped some jquery script, css, and text from ProPublica to use as a republished work on my company website (publicsource.org). The code that I am trying to use is here:
$(document).ready(function() {
var tabCommon = $(".frack-show-common");
tabCommon.addClass("active");
var tabSick = $(".frack-show-sick");
var tabWeird = $(".frack-show-weird");
tabCommon.click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$("#common").fadeIn("slow");
$("#sick").hide();
$("#weird").hide();
tabCommon.addClass("active");
Occasional 'page not found' error
I installed OpenPublish locally to localhost/openpublish and then moved it to the root of my shared hosting account. Now I've noticed an occasional error when logged in or viewing the site, now and then I get the error message:
"Page not found
The requested page could not be found. "
Daily Times Nigeria re-launches website in OP2 (D6)
While there has been a lot of discussion about OP in D6 & D7, I believe you can still do a lot with OP2 (D6).
When faced with the task of redesigning the DailyTimesNG website, the "no upgrade path from OP2 to OP3" reluctantly and grudgingly made us decide to stick to OP2 (D6).
Four weeks of theming & tweaking & here is the result. Depending on when you visit this post the new DailyTimesNG version 2.0 website will either reside at http://sandbox.dailytimes.com.ng (beta, being developed & tested) or http://dailytimes.com.ng.
Read moreOP 7 Related Content view - won't display as a block in layout
Hi, we're using D7 OpenPublish. And trying out the OpenPublish related content view in order to display a list of related articles (by taxonomy), eg article on physics, a list of physics article links from our site on the right sidebar.
We have created a number of test articles and tagged them categorically, eg:
http://jkrivanedev.devcloud.acquia-sites.com/?q=content/learning-alphabe...
where you can see at the bottom of the article body that taxonomic links have appeared that lead to topical landing pages (or a site section). So the tagging is working fine it seems.
Read moreTaxonomy View Fails to Display Related Content Block
I have created a 'related content' view whose preview (bottom of the 'edit view' page) clearly demonstrates that it is working. When adding this view to a block, nothing renders on the associated pages. This is OpenPublish Alpha3.
Exact same problem as: http://drupal.org/node/1066142, but we did not alter the machine name.
We followed the steps in this tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhTdTUiblS4

Read moreHelp With Views Filter Logic
I'm trying to filter a view so that a featured image appears only on section pages, but not on article detail pages. Currently, the image appears on both the section page and article detail. When I try to filter for section content type or against article content type, the feature image does not appear on the section page. I can filter for the Sections taxonomy to equal "education", but that means the featured image appears on every page within the "education" section.
What would the right filter logic?
BTW, I'm deep into rebuilding my news site on the latest OP Alpha.
Read moreContext Box Views Problem: Captions Omitted
I'm using several Boxes for Views throughout my site. Each box is meant to display a featured image with a caption beneath. While the image displays correctly, the caption never displays. I can using the Drupal Blocks to display the complete view, but that only works on the front page -- I can't get the Drupal Blocks to filter via a real path, like www.mysite.com/education.
How do I get Boxes for Views to display the image's caption?

Frame sub-theme question
Hello, we are starting development with OP7 and see it comes with a default theme, Frame, based on Omega.
The descriptions says "Frame is a responsive, HTML5 subtheme of Omega. This theme is intended to be a very simplified, wireframe-esque theme to be built off of"
Q#1: Does this mean that it is ready to use as is (being a sub-theme of Omega), or do I in turn need to create a subtheme of Frame?

Read moreAggregating RSS Feeds
Hiya All,
I am setting up our OpenPublish installation at http://monctonfreepress.ca for RSS feed aggregation
I have been following the documentation at http://docs.openpublishapp.com/display/openpublishd6/Consuming+Incoming+...
The feed aggregates OK and contents are placed into the content type 'Feed item'. So far so good.
However, this part of the documentation puzzles me:
