Chapter 21 ■ Building a Community Site Figure 21-6. Creating a new group In the example, I’m creating a new group for Drupal Ninjas. I’ve provided a Title for the group, entered a Description of the group, set the Privacy settings so that only people I choose to invite can be a member of the group (after all, Drupal Ninjas are a rare breed), and created the first topic for discussion in the Topics field. Clicking the Save button adds the new group, at which point it’s ready to receive new members. Since the group is restricted, it will not appear on the public side of the site unless the person logs in and is a member of the Ninjas. 238
Adding Events Chapter 21 ■ Building a Community Site Drupal Commons provides a great tool for creating and listing events on the site. To create a new event, click the Content link in the admin menu followed by the “Add content” link on the Content page. Select Event from the list of content types and fill out the details for the event. The Event content type provides fields for the Title of the event, the Description of the event, a URL for more information about the event, the groups associated with the event, the date and location of the event, and other information such as whether registration is required and how many people can attend the meeting. After adding an event, it automatically appears on the list of events, found by clicking the Events link in the primary navigation menu. Creating Posts One of the most common uses of groups is to share information with other members. The primary mechanism for posting status information is through the Posts feature. To create a new post, visit the group’s landing page enter content in the Create a post field. You can enter the post directly on the Group landing page or, for more detailed information, after clicking the “Create a post” link then click the “Go to full form” mode by clicking on at the bottom right of the Create a post text field. Posts automatically show up on the Group landing page, sorted in “date created” descending order (newest post first). Creating Wikis The other form of content for groups is a wiki, where a wiki is defined as content in which the entire community has the permission to add, change, and delete content. To create a wiki for a group, click the Content link in the admin menu followed by the “Create content” link. Select Wiki from the list of content types and enter the Title, Body, and the group associated with the wiki. After you create the wiki, it will appear in the “river of content” that appears on the landing page of the group that is associated with the wiki. Members of the group can then edit the wiki, organically growing the content contained within the document. Managing Groups As a manager of a group, you have access to a set of tools that helps you administer your group. Click the Administer Group button near the top of the group’s landing page (assuming you are logged in and assigned as the administrator for the group). The Administer Group landing page lists links for adding people to the group, managing the people who are in the group, assigning permissions to those who are assigned to the group, and managing roles. Each group has its own set of user permissions and own set of roles, making each group responsible for managing who has access to what. Additional Capabilities There are many additional capabilities that you can use on your Drupal Commons–based site, including these examples: • Radioactivity: The capability to model popularity of content on the site. • Follow: The capability to follow users, content, and groups on the site, similar to Facebook • Like: The capability to “like” a piece of content on the site 239
