og_panels

Providing customizable Group homepages by updating the OG_Panels module to Drupal 7 and "Making it possible to reply to GDO notifications through email by integrating message notify and mailcomment.module"

Abstract

I would like to work for D.O. this summer, so thinking to contribute to G.D.O. tasks. It [ groups.drupal.org ] is going to be migrated in D7. Two of the tasks is to port og_panels module to D7 and extend message_notify to improve & make it source of email notifications. So would love to pick these two tasks up.

Description

As part of the big update to Drupal 6.0, groups is now running the latest and greatest OG Panels stack, including Panels 3.0, Chaos Tools 1.0 with the awesome Page Delegator, and the newly independent and 6.0 compatible OG Panels module.

This is a great thing for our future as a dynamic community, and it means that group maintainers can continue to use Panels to trick-out their Organic Groups. However, the complexity of the update and the changes from Views 1 to 2 mean that much of the content that was previously configured in panels no longer worked as it previously had. Unfortunately, groups admins will need to refurbish and/or recreate their homepages.

All your old pages are there, and the UI should be familiar. There are also some nice new options and more coming soon. However, all panels pages are un-published and no homepages are in effect, so you'll need to review them and republish when ready. Please use this thread to ask questions on the topic of OG Panels.

UPDATE: a wiki page with instructions is starting to come together here.

Is there a way to create a list of content with multiple content types or by excluding a content type?

I watched the screencast on Organic Groups Panels - a super video! I want to add a page for Discussions (like here on Drupal Dojo) but I can't work out how to add a view (I can add blocks etc no problem). The screencast shows the Events page is made by adding OG teasers filtered by type/term which appears under Organic groups (along with OG Posts by NodeOG - titles, River of News - table and OG River of News - teasers) - but I can't see these views when I add content in the panel on my site.

og_panels is here! And when I look at this http://groups.drupal.org/drupal-dojo I gotta say, I get a little envious... With being quite some design people here in this group this page should rather look that good.

And it is not only about eye-candy: make the information better accessible by introducing more blocks. I volunteer to provide mockups and do the stuff. But I think we depend on Neill Drumm to get things rolling...

Ah, and that's not all. Look here: http://groups.drupal.org/node/10445
