New Site with Openpublish
OpenPublish as a starting point for a full blown web app.
Hi there,
Since a few weeks I have been playing around with OpenPublish and I absolutely love it.
I am (together with my teammates) building web app that allows users to enter data about their life which they can then see in a graph on a dashboard and/or share online. A mobile application will be integrated with it too (probably through the Services API).
At the basis of this web app lies a basis of about 200 written articles and over 200 video's. That is why I figured OpenPublish could be useful.
My question is:

Read moreUnderstanding OpenPublish
Hi all,
I need a few clarifications to fully understand OpenPublish:
- Why is contexts used in displaying the full articles? It appears to be used to hook blocks to it, just wondering why Views is not used here. Asking for I might be overlooking something.
- Why are only a few fields used from 'Profiles' and all the rest added to the 'Author' content type? Why not group it all in 'Author' content type? Are there any advantages doing it the current way?
Desktop/browser editors - Drupal WYSIWYG & specific modules

Started with this post: Add editor: XStandard (+ other desktop/browser side plug-ins?). Add info & edit to get more structured. Researching for solutions eating lesser server resources, so a desktop/browser side plug-in might be the solution. I haven't seen another like (the quality of) XStandard. But then I found many other browser/desktop editors:
replacing article thumbnail/main images (files) with remote URLs
We've made the decision to store all our non-theme multimedia content (images, video, audio, flash, interpretive dance routines) outside of our CMS.
Currently we have everything on an installation of Gallery2 (with a wary but hopeful eye toward Gallery3). Migrating everything into Gallery2 was really easy, and it gives us buckets of extra options in our tagging, geotagging, pre-scaling, sorting, etc. We have really enthusiastic photographers and videographers, and we believe this will make it much easier to store and find content for later use.

Dear fellow OpenPublish folks,
I am using OP 2.2 and am having difficulty providing my own preprocessor variable to be used in a custom version of node-article.tpl.php that is in a sub-theme of openpublish_theme.
Classifying something under "Articles" instead of "Topics"
First off, I'm sorry if this has been asked elsewhere. I've found a lot of other threads where I feel similar questions are being asked, I'm just having trouble understanding how everything fits together.
Read moreFuture of OpenPublish
OpenPublish's theme should be built on a very simple, plain CSS framework such as Blueprint. http://www.subtraction.com/2007/08/07/the-framewor If using a grid is good enough for The Onion and the New York Times then it's good enough for me.
Also, since Context and Admin Menu module are used it should be considered to integrate Context Layouts and use of the Context Inline Block Editor as demonstrated on OpenAtrium (second video http://openatrium.com/features).
Read moreQuestion about OP core
Hello,
my question may seem stupid, but I have to be sure about the issue, since I plan to use OP for a production page.
Are there any changes in OP core regarding to Drupal core? If OP core gets outdated, could I upgrade it using official Drupal release?
THX,
JAnez
