Drupal 7: Organic Groups Configuration

This video walks you through how to configure Organic Groups in Drupal 7. I show you how to do the following.
1) Create a Group Type
2) Enable content types to be associated with a group
3) Set Public/Private visibility for both group, and group content
4) Display the articles that are associated with a group
5) Configure who can post to a group
6) Configure what can be posted to a group and
7) Enable the "Subscribe to group" link.

Good tutorial. Is there a way to configure OG so that the group manager (who is NOT an administrator) can chose between making his group selective (requiring approval from the group manager) and making it open to free access?

Little tip: add the time in the description, so users can skip to the point they want to see.

Hi,

I saw your video that "Drupal 7 Oganic Groups configurations" url is "Drupal 7: Organic Groups Configuration". I liked this video very much and this video helped me alot.

But i have one doudt that I created group name is "Test Group" while creating the group i selected options like this
Group visibility - Private - accessible only to group members
Group content visibility - Private - accessible only to group members

I added the group field for the content type "Article" but i didnt add any Group content visibility field to that content type.

Now problem is that if i created one article and selected group test group but that content is display for all users. I didnt get where was the problem.

I created one view to dispaly article content.

Please help me in this to resolve this problem.
