OS Apps

Q: What is an OS App?

A Features module that plays well with OpenScholar.

Q: Why are these called Apps? They aren't Drupal Apps!

Integration with Drupal Apps is in the roadmap. For now, they are modified Features modules. We do strive to make the existing OS Apps all KIT compliant.

Q: How are OS Apps different from other Features modules?

They react to OG spaces in these ways:

• With these lines manually added into their .info file:

spaces[types][] = og
spaces[types][] = site

The vsite module detects these settings and allows each OS Site to enable and configure this feature individually.

• Views components have a "Current space" filter so that only an individual OS Site's content is ever displayed.

• User permissions restrict users from adding content to other OS Sites on an OpenScholar installation.
