OpenPublish

I know this probably isn't the best place to ask this question, but whatever became of Tattler? It seems that the original download is still present on the Tattler App site. The Twitter feed has been alluding to a new version for several months now. Any Timetable? This was a really great start on a cool app, but it definitely needs a refresh.

OpenPublish 2.1 is out: http://openpublishapp.com/download

Release Notes:

Hi all --

I'm curious to know if there are scientific or scholarly journal publishers using OpenPublish for their journal sites. We're comparing OpenPublish to a more basic Drupal w/E-Journal module solution for the next iteration of our journal sites, and I'd love to get feedback on how it's working for publishers who have already made the switch.

Were you able to integrate well with PubMed/CrossRef/etc.? Anything you wish you'd done differently in your setup?

Thanks!

I'm looking for some advice on how to create a couple of blocks similar to the Homepage Articles Block.

What I'd like to do is group all articles in two main types, say, X and Y.

Then I would like to create subtypes of X and Y, say, A, B, C, D, E, F and G.

I have no problem with creating the subtypes in taxonomy, but I'm not sure how to create the two main types and have them show up like the Articles Homepage Block.

Hello group!

Does anyone know how to disable Calais? Due to all the dependencies it looks very difficult to disable it by disabling the individual modules. I saw in a previous thread that the option to switch it on/off within the Admin was supposedly added. But I don't see it anywhere.

Thanks!
Rob

As promised: http://openpublishapp.com/download/op-1dot7-2dot0-update-instructions

Please keep in mind that 1.7 -> 2.0 is a major version update and the update process will be somewhat rocky.

I was wondering about the way that images are associated with article.

When I use the main image/thumbnail image the files are uploaded to sites/all/files (which is the default path) with the thumbs going to a folder called imagefield_thumbs that is created on the fly. However, the template is trying to pull the images for the article from the imagecache folder so it displays a broken image.

The same goes for the Author image assigned in the author content type.

Late yesterday I looked at my site and the theme is broken. All I can see is text on a white page but absolutely no format. Everything else works as in links, etc. but no format. The theme broken is the base OpenPublish theme with no sub-theme.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Most of the features of Open Publish I really like, but one of them is causing me problems: The teasers.

I can see the advantage of having a separate, custom teaser if you are doing a magazine-style site. But for the news sites I'm working on, adding that teaser text is getting in the way. Specifically, we do a lot of posting via an iPhone app called Blogpress, that works via the BlogAPI module. The problem is, there is no way to fill out the teaser field using this method, so all of the stories we post would go up without a teaser, and that would be bad.

I downloaded Openpublish 2.0 to /var/aegir/platforms directory
I verify the platform fine

I then goto create a site
I enter the url
I select Openpublish but I cannot continue because I get the error:

Install profile field is required.
