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.

Read moreArticles in OP do not appear anywhere
Hi everyone, thanks for the recent welcomes to OP discussions.
Have just run into a big problem, seems all my article content has stopped loading to the home page, or to any page. I suspect this occurred when I was looking through article/relationships though I don't recall making changes.
www.imagenews.com.au now shows no article content since and I'm struggling to find the error of my way. Any help appreciated.

Read more"et al" is now added to all author lines
Hi Everybody-
I'm really greatly looking forward to D7 version of OP. I've been following these discussions and will chime in at some point. In the meantime, I'm having a strange problem.
In the byline for all articles, blogs, etc., the name of author appears but so does "et al" -- I don't know why that is, or when it started showing this.
Any thoughts? I did not do anything and the site has been dormant since summer.
Thanks for your help.

Read moreUsing menu_block module with OP?
Today I installed a rather popular module called menu_block http://drupal.org/project/menu_block but haven't had any luck getting this configured to accomplish a multi-tiered menu. I heard this module will eventually be added to the core of Drupal 8, but the OP project probably won't have a build for 8 anytime soon.
Read moreIs there any collaboration for magazines out there?
Hi all,
Just to let you know that I 'use' OpenPublish. Given that openpublish is more a collection of nifty modules with some configuration, it would be fair to say that I started out with OpenPublish and tweaked it to my needs.
However, for our journal we have some nifty features, some of which in dev:
- Standardized XML output (METS, MODS, DC and schema.org)
- Archive feature by using archive.org
- Mobile app using the XML export
- Blog
- Fully searchable archive
- Mobile theme
- 'automatic' new issue

Read moreReplicating homepage layout for other pages.
I'm struggling to get my head round the right method for creating pages similar to the homepage deeper into the site.
I have a number of pages which I would like to layout in a similar way to the homepage, but not sure if I should be using panels or creating template php files for the pages? The general idea is to have a generic homepage then create region specific versions for content from different locations (USA, Europe, ASIA etc).
Read moreImported 4000 articles... how do I create authors?
Hi there,
I am trying to move Free Software Magazine to OpenPublish.
I am getting there (although, unfortunately I went a little crazy with customising things, and I am paying for that now... err...).
I imported all of the nodes. Now, I am dealing with "authors". I understand that in OpenPublish each "Author" is a different node. However, I am now in a situation where I have 4000 or so articles, each one authored by the node's uid. I also have a list of "privileged" uids with the right role ("authors"), who can create articles.

Read moreOut of memory pb during install (1and1)
Hi Guys,
I'm trying to install Openpublish for the first time and I failed (several times)!!!
My webhost (1and1) seems to be known for allowing very limited memory by default. So, after reading some posts about it, I added on all openpublish folders a php.ini file with memory_limit = 64M command. It seems that 1and1 doesn't go further than 32Mo but I'm not sure.
During openpublish install I have this error I came across this error:

Hello,
I successfully moved my site from dev to the root and everything is working great! The only issue I'm encountering is that the admin menu keeps taking me back to www.mysite.com/dev/admin, instead of keeping me at www.mysite.com/admin.
I know I'm missing something obvious. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
