Search Bar Returning Results for All OpenScholar Sites
Hi All,
Is there a way to limit the search results on a site (using the built in search bar) to just display results from that person’s own OS site? Right now, if you search for terms, the user gets results from other pages on OpenScholar (and the urls look like they are from the site owner’s own page but when you click on them, they are not).
Is there a way to edit these results?
We are running Version 2.0-RC1.
Thank you.

Hi All,
We have a user that is having an issue with the Teaser Break button on their Bio page. When they insert this Teaser Break button, it does not render a "See More" link. Their Bio page is on their front page and this teaser Button link is not rendering there or on the actual Bio page. They would also like to use this function on other pages, but the Teaser Button is not there. If they try to manually insert the code,

Images don't display 7.x-3.6 (Edit: Now 3.7.4) (Edit: Unable to duplicate problem)
(Edit)
I recreated the site from scratch from a virgin installation of the 3.7.4 prebuild and did not have the same problems detailed below.
I built the original site from 3.5, upgraded to 3.6 where I enabled a lot of modules related to news feeds before upgrading to 3.7.4. Perhaps I messed something up.
In anycase, creating the site from a new installation resulted in a site which did not have the same issues.
Thanks

How to Change/Customize Main Front Page
Hi to all,
I'm designing my new academic site (for my tutoring center) and I'm trying to use Openscholar. I downloaded and installed the latest version 3.6. I'm able to create new sites for teachers and students however I don't understand how should I do to configure or costumize the site main front page, since it appears to be diferent from the usual drupal way. Could someone clarifies me the correct procedure.
Thanks in advance,
Best regards

Read moreFeed URL
Hi
I'd like to have my department site follow the news on my project and personal sites.
1) What are the URL's to the feeds of OpenScholar sites?
2) How do I control the timing of the reader's updates (is there a "check now?" button)
3) How do I control what information comes through the feed (News and Event updates but not changes to Bio).
Unable to install Openscholar
OpenScholar has many great features for which I'm looking. However, after days and days of trying I've been unable to get OpenScholar to install. I've read all the documentation I can find and followed the instructions as best I could but have still not been successful. I've tried with both Acquia Dev Desktop and online at my hosting account. And, while Drupal installs successfully, OpenScholar doesn't.
I think I must be missing something crucial.
I would appreciate any help. I am a neophite with all this... so please make it plain and simple. Thanks.

After all steps upgrading some modules, I got only blank pages. All page was blank.
After enable php errors, I got this message:
Fatal error: Cannot make non static method space_og::excluded_paths() static in class vsite in /home/user/public_html/profiles/openscholar/modules/vsite/plugins/vsite.inc on line 15
Is it possible to downgrade? How?

Read moreTaxonomy, Terms and Weights
I have set up a Taxonomy with various Terms.
Each Term has a Relations/Weight which seems to affect the order in which they show up in the Build/Taxonomy/ListTerms as well as the order in which they are displayed in a Taxonomy Widget created for them.
I say 'seems' because these Relations/Weights and Widget orders change arbitrarily when the save button is hit in the Build/Taxonomy/ListTerms page.

I have been unable to find documentation as to the image sizes in pixels that Open Scholar is expecting for its images.
For example, take the image for a person on the people page on a Department site.
The image appears in at least two places, smaller along with the other persons on the people page and larger when alone when you click on that person.

Has anyone else had problems with disappearing content?
I have had a publication disappear from a Personal site and a person disappear from a Department site.
publication:
I added the publication from the publication page using AddNew and Import Publication of the .ris data. I had previously added seven or eight successfully.
The new publication appeared in the publication page.
I selected edit to attach two documents. After saving, the publication page reappeared without the publication.
The document was not listed in the content posts either.

Scholar sites creation problem
I have installed Openscholar 3.6, using the ./scripts/build command. The site installs with no error messages. When I go to the new Home page and click on Create Your Scholar Site, the scholar site seems to create properly, with a link to Go There Now and the appropriate url listed. When I go to the new site, I see the message: "The URL might be incorrect or have changed. Please go back to the homepage".
The sites are listed in the content list, but I can only get the URL might be incorrect message.
Read moreUpgrading OpenScholar?
Hi there,
We have been a bit disconnected (or crazy lazy) and now are trying to catch up and upgrade our OpenShcolar installation. Looking at the site maintenance information it is noted as "Drupal 6.25, 2012-02-29", "2.0RC1".
So, should we install the latest realease or go step by step, installing any previous version we can find?
Is there any step by step procedure to follow? I have been unable to find it after looking at the documentation and previous discussions here.
thank you very much in advance
