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 moreOpenpublish on MAMP?
Hi there,
First, as I am a newbie, don't mind if my question seems to be basic. I am running a Drupal6x locally on my MAMP, with a Mac OS 10.3.9 (tiger). I don't have so much trouble with it, but I wanted to have also OpenPublish, which seems to fit more with my needs. No way : I just can't pass througt the first install stage, as if Open Publish would'nt accept a local installation. I get an "error" message, as if I were giving a wrong username or password, which is not the case (I'm using the same parameters as for Drupal, with just an openpublish_prefix, as told on the file).

Addthis functionality conflicting with Nice Menus on IE 8
I know that this has a non-OP install item (Nice Menus), but Irakli also created a 'quick and dirty' install tutorial for Nice Menus, so my question pertains I think. We have been able to crash IE 8 by going to a page with addthis on it and mousing over the top level menu. Once we removed addthis, we don't get this crash. Anyone else using this combo and noticed this behavior? Please advise.
Thanks!

Why I can't enable modules on my Openpublish site?
Hi!
I am having a problem to enable any module on my just installed openpublish site, after saving configurations got error:
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 120 seconds exceeded in C:\wamp\www\mysite\includes\common.inc on line 551
I have updated security updates to drupal-6.22 and also updated all available updates.
I am newbie in Drupal and Openpublish, maybe there is something that I do absolutely wrong, but I was trying to do everything that I could according on instructions, which are not arranged in step by step order and understandable for a beginners.

Problem with Quiz module in OpenPublish distro
Hi guys,
Here is the problem we have with Quiz module: for some reason field "Question:" for any quiz question (we created 1 T/F and 1 multichoice) is not getting into the database: node_revisions.body. Also question update will erase manually(directly to db) added node_revisions.body field.
At least 3 people have this problem with OpenPublish installed. We have OpenPublish 2.2.
Reply from Quiz maintainers:
Read moreInstallation total HANG
Hello, guys.
Well, I got the dumbest error I ever encountered in Drupal.
I cannot install Openpublish: it hangs on the first step, when I choose and click "Select language".
It's not max_execution_time problem or this kind thing. At first got
"Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded in C:\wamp\www\openpublish\includes\file.inc on line 937"
but I managed to set the time to unlimited.
I did all this right:
http://groups.drupal.org/node/67393
http://befused.com/drupal/max-execution-time-error
addthis sends to base url, not relevant post
I'm having an issue with OP 2.3 addthis.
Clicking facebook "share" (opens a new browser tab) but the url is uneditable. The share shows the base url as the share, and not the actual post.
Where would be the code/setting that control this behaviour?
Thanks,
Read moreHTML Problem on Authors Pages
On our OpenPublish site, we noticed that on the Authors pages, our top navigation was not centered, but instead was shifted to left in the header. This problem showed up when we started running our site through a reverse proxy that does HTML rewrites.
After some digging into the HTML code, we discovered that the original HTML had a line <div class="views-separator"/></div> which gets rewritten as <div class="views-separator"></div></div>, ie It has two closing div tags, but only one opening tag.

OpenPublish Installation Issue with GoDaddy
Hi Folks. I have successfully installed Drupal 6.22 manually on my hosted service at GoDaddy, but have run into a problem trying to install OpenPublish.
Based on similar experiences with other hosted installations noted here, I've made the following changes to the php.ini file (I started lower and have increased to these values):
max_execution_time = 1200
max_input_time = 1200
memory_limit = 300M
