OpenScholar

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.
This group should probably have more organizers. See documentation on this recommendation.

OpenScholar represents a paradigm shift in how the personal academic and research web sites are created and maintained. Built on the open-source framework Drupal, OpenScholar makes it possible to create academic web sites in a matter of seconds. Each web site comes with a suite of powerful tools from which users can facilitate the creation, distribution, and preservation of knowledge faster and more efficiently than ever before.
OpenScholar allows users to create genuine, feature-rich web sites on the fly in seconds and is designed to host an unlimited number of web sites in a single installation.

Best practice for moving between dev/staging/production

I have a question about the best way to move OS instances between dev, staging, and production servers? I'm running into occasional problems where I'll find myself being directed to old URL/domain names, and am trying to understand what I should be doing differently.

The story so far:

Add a node(new page) automatically, when a new scholar site is created

I need to create a new default node(os page) as scholar site frontpage, when teacher registers a new site. I'm trying to achieve this by coding and adding a new node to the site.
I'm using SCHOLAR-3.4.x

So far i have modified the vsite_register.form.inc.

around line 295 where is - if ($vsite = vsite_create_vsite(...
inside that IF case i've written the following code:

// Prepares basic settings of our new node
$homenode  = new stdClass();
$homenode->type = 'page';
$homenode->uid = $site_owner->uid;
$homenode->language = 'en';

Scholar-3.5.0

Hi All,

I notice that the Scholar-3.5.0 distribution is organized quite a bit differently than Scholar-3.4.1.

Are the implications of this change discussed someplace?

I only found one mention of it, on the Harvard site:
http://openscholar.harvard.edu/software/openscholar-drupal-7/7x-35

Here, at the end of the change list, under Dev & Infrastructure, they mention:
"Note: this release introduces the make file. Upgrading from 7.x-3.4 to 7.x-3.5 requires extra system operations."

What are these extra system operations specifically?

OpenScholar 2.0RC1 Twitter Feed not updating

Hello all,
One of my users just noticed that their Twitter feed hasn't updated for a little over a week now, right around the same time I upgraded OS to version 2.0RC1. Could it be related to the upgrade or perhaps because Twitter has changed the way their API works and the Twitter Pull module hasn't been upgraded yet? Anyone else run into this issue?

Thank you,
Henry

LDAP module on OpenScholar 2.0 RC1

Is there any documentation specifically for OpenScholar 2.0 RC for LDAP integration? I have the modules for LDAP enabled through the Site Configuration > Modules all the LDAP say enabled... but that is about as far as I can get with it.

Warning: htmlspecialchars(): Invalid multibyte sequence in argument in check_plain() (line 1572 of C:\BitNami\wampstack-5.3.23-0\apps\drupal\htdocs\includes\bootstrap.inc).

And, I cannot log in the server by using "root" and the password I set previously.

Sorry, the profile you have chosen cannot be loaded.

When I install OpenScholar, I put all the OS files into .../apps/drupal/htdocs/profiles/ and run localhost/install.php.

The message, "Sorry, the profile you have chosen cannot be loaded.", appears after I choose the language.

What have I done wrongly?

Installation Problem

Hello all,

While installing OpenScholar, I get this warning:

Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, 'cp_access_cp' was given in _menu_check_access() (line 454 of /[path]/includes/menu.inc).

As I am not an expert at all, I don't know what that means and how to fix it.

Can anybody help? Thank you in advance :)

OS versions overview?

Looking at the current development process in github, there are many versions already of OS 3 but what are the differences? Any overview?

From a previous discussion topic rbrandon wrote:
SCHOLAR-3-0 is the first release of 3.0 and contains the code to migrate from Drupal 6
SCHOLAR-3.1 is the second major releases with some new features and many bugfixes
SCHOLAR-3.x is bleeding edge and where all major development happens, It would be helpful if pull requests are made against this branch.

Now there are versions like
SCHOLAR-3.2
SCHOLAR-3.3
SCHOLAR-3.4

Installation problem on Windows

Hello, everyone. We'd love to try OpenScholar (cf. my previous message), but are having a tough time installing it on Windows. We're trying to install OS 2.0-RC1. We're using EasyPHP, and we've tried both the current version (the one with PHP 5.4.6) and an older version (with PHP 5.2.17). We get tons of messages with pink warnings during the install, and when the install is complete and we try to go to the site, we get a page with hundreds or thousands of messages, for example

Should we use OpenScholar?

Hello. We're an academic department with about 25 permanent professor/researcher members, and 80 members in all, including visitors, postdocs, students and technicians. We currently have a custom-built website:

http://lpp.psycho.univ-paris5.fr/

but the person who's built it has left, and we'd like to re-implement most or all of its features using a public and open system. OpenScholar looks really good, but before jumping in we have a few questions.

OpenScholar Site

If anyone's interested, I've started up a website dedicated to OpenScholar at www.oscholar.info.

There's not much content there yet, but there is a forum and wiki all set up and ready to go.

As a new OpenScholar developer, I feel lost in the wild (especially since the official OS documentation is very thin). I'm looking forward to getting help (and helping others) regarding OpenScholar configuration, administration, development, etc.

Thanks!

Installing OpenScholar

I have tried several times to install open scholar on a vm. I have tweaked sql to take advantage of the memory allocated to the vm and I've altered the php.ini file to the settings most commonly recommended on the interblags.

It will do one of a few things:
1) It will hang, for hours, at the "Install Profile" step.
2) It will install a generic pressflow site w/o anything related to OpenScholar
3) It will generate db erros and fail.
4) It will say that OpenScholar is installed but give me a whitescreen (this is rare as it usually never gets this far)

PHP 5.3 status

I've seen several threads that mention a recommendation that OpenScholar be used with PHP 5.2, rather than 5.3 (or 5.4). The most recent of these I have seen was from March 2012, so I was wondering if this is still the recommendation?
