Display subscribe to group on access denied page

Question

I am using Drupal 7.25 (I need to update to 7.26) and organic groups 7.x-2.4. I currently have public and private groups working. I have two users (admin and a normal user). I have a menu tab that opens the og list (/og-list) view which lists all groups (public and private).

When logged in as a normal user if I click on a public group it shows a subscribe to group link. That's great. However, if I click on a private group it gives me the Access denied page without a subscribe link.

I would like to have any normal user be able to click a private group and have it display a link to subscribe. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

You have a couple of options.

Not sure how you have your group node page setup but what I have done is use a node view panel. In that panel I added the Field: Group (group_group) in a region then set the formatter to "OG subscribe link". That will display the "Subscribe to group" link when a user clicks on the group they are not a member of. Since you are getting access denied I'm guessing your group node page is not setup that way.

Another option is to modify the og-list view and add the field "Content: Group". Then change its Formatter to "OG subscribe link". That will create a new column in the view that will display a link called "Subscribe to group" for groups you are not a member of and "Unsubscribe to group" for groups you are a member of.
