Organic Groups - define content type to be of Group type

Question

I am using the Organic Groups module and am following the readme file. I am on step 2 and already struggling...

Create a new content type via admin/structure/types/add. Call it "Group", and define it to be of Group type.

How do I define it to be of Group type?

I have enabled the following modules: Entity Reference 7.x-1.0 Organic groups 7.x-2.0 Organic groups access control 7.x-2.0 Organic groups context 7.x-2.0 Organic groups field access 7.x-2.0

Answer 1

On the create content type page you should have a vertical tab named Organic Groups. If this tab is missing, make sure you have enabled the Organic groups UI module. Clicking the Organic Groups tab reveals a couple of check boxes. Check the one for Group and hit save to make this content type a group which you can associate content with.

The other check box Group content defines that the content type can be posted into a group, i.e associated with the group you previously created.

To get you started you can also enable the OG example module.

The above is mainly for OG 7.2.

Here are tutorials you might find very useful. Both are for (7.x-1.0). I've watch both many times & used them to build a demo site.
