In this video we will create a group content type, as well as modify the article content type to be a group post. Before we get started you must have Drupal installed on you server. I'll be using the standard installation profile for this video series.

In this video I'll show you how to configure the view panes and pages associated with Organic Groups.

  1. OG members: This will be a list of the most recent members of the current group.
  2. OG list: This will be a list of all public groups (and private groups that you are a member of).
  3. OG user groups: This will be a list of all the groups the logged in user is a member of.

In this video you will learn how to configure Panels for your group layout.

By default, groups are public with public content. In this video I'll show you how to create private groups, that can have private and/or public content, as well as public groups that can have private and/or public content. That may sound a little confusing, but believe me it will make sense when you see it working. So let's dive right in.

In this video we will decide who can post to a group, and what they can post to a group.

If you go to Configuration > OG membership types, you can create various membership types.
For example you can create a membership type that expires after 30 days. This would enable users to test your group for a while, then be removed from the group after the 30 day trial is up.

In this video we will decide whether or not group managers should have all permissions within their groups. This can be useful when users are creating groups on your site, but you don't want them to have full permissions in the groups they create.

In this video I’ll show you how to select which group fields are visible to members based on that group's roles.
