In this series, I'll walk you through the 7.x-2.x version of Organic Groups. This module lets you create groups. A group is simply a collection of content or people. Groups have three basic components:
- Group type
- Group members
- Group content
Group type denotes which pieces of content should be handled as groups. I'll show you how to create a group content type in Video 1 - Organic Groups Setup.
A group can have one or more associated users, either by subscribing to the group or having been assigned to the group. We’ll refer to these users as the group members, and we'll be talking more about group membership in Video 9: Organic Groups Membership.
The last component is group content. This refers to the articles or other content types that are posted in the group. We’ll take our first look at how to add content to our groups in Video 4 - Configuring Content Types for group “Content create links”.
We’ll also cover group roles, permissions, how to layout our groups using Panels and a whole lot more.
