Changing Node Group Audience

In OpenAtrium, it’s not easy to change the group affiliation of a node once it has been created. OA locks down the interface to set group audience specifically to make the interface easier to understand.

I have just posted a quick feature that demonstrates how to grant administrators the ability to shuffle nodes around between groups, it can be found in the issue queue at community.OA.

It introduces two things–a new Action that toggles the group audience of a given node, and a Views Bulk Operations View that allows you to apply that action to batches.

There is a special column in the View labeled “Member of Private Group”. This column lets the administrator know whether the current group is a private group, meaning the content is almost certainly private as well. Any quality of the group a node starts in will be lost once you move a node to a new group, and that includes whether it is private content. Remember that, and use with care!

Note: If you preface the URL of the View with a group namespace, it will limit the content to the nodes of that group.
