Module Description
Overview
Enable users to create and manage their own 'groups'. Each group can have subscribers, and maintains a group home page where subscribers communicate amongst themselves.
They do so by posting the usual node types: blog, story, page, etc. A block is shown on the group home page which facilitates these posts. The block also provides summary information about the group.
Groups may be selective or not. Selective groups require approval in order to become a member, or even invitation -only groups. There are lots of preferences to configure groups as you need.
OG for Drupal 8 and 9
Note: Development and issues are handled on GitHub, and code is synced back to Drupal.org. Organic Groups is currently under heavy development and the API is not considered stable until we release the first beta version. Testers are welcome but expect breaking changes in every alpha release. You can also find the roadmap for a stable Drupal 8/9 release on GitHub.
We are applying a strong test driven development approach for Drupal 8/9 and are aiming for high quality and extensibility. Our philosophy is outlined in these blog posts:
