Hello,

I'm working on setting up a website with Drupal Commons 2.0 RC-1 and I created a content type "Company", and declear it as "Group node".
But I have trouble when I add content in this new “Company” content type. In the “Audience” menu that you have to specify when you creat a new “Group” content, I cannot see the names of groups based on the new “Company” content-type.
Because of this problem I can not add content in this new “Company” content-type.

Thank you in advance for those who can help me, I will be much appreciated.

You can display a "create content" block in the sidebar

You can display a "create content" block in the sidebar of your group home page.

To enable the commons group blocks via context interface .

Go to the context list page at   admin/build/context/list/

and find the contexts tagged under Group . And click the edit link to modify .

the "group-context" context will add this "add content" block.

In the editing interface under Conditions > OG - group type context  you can check your new group content type.

Yes, it works now! The

Yes, it works now!

The "og_subgroups_form_alter" method in og_subgroups.module overrides the default group audience select list to show hierarchy.

Thanks a lot!
