Organic Groups Views

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.

Install and enable modules

Install:

• CTools
• Views

Enable:

• Chaos tools
• Views Content Panes

Members block

First we’ll display a block listing the most recent members of the current group

• Go to Structure > Views
• Edit view: OG members

Here we see that the view is already set up, and there is nothing that we need to do, but you can do the following:

• Change title to "Recent members of %1"

This view currently displays the most recent 5 members to join the group. If you would like to show more, you can do one or both of the following:

• Use pager: Paged output, mini pager
• Items to display: 10 (or however many you would like)
• Save the view

Note: We'll display this in the video: "Group layout"

List all groups

Now we will list all public groups (and private groups that you are a member of) on the site. There is actually a view already setup for this at the path “/group-list”. You can navigate to example.com/group-list to see a list of the current groups on your site. (Substitute example.com with your domain)

• Go to Structure > Views
• Edit the view OG list
• Menu path: Normal menu entry
• Title: All groups
• Description: All groups
• Menu: Main menu
• (Save View)

List user's groups

Now we will list all of the groups the logged in user is a member of. There is already a view setup for this as well, at the path of “/user-groups”. Navigate to example.com/user-groups to see a list of the groups you are a member of. (Substitute example.com with your domain)
