Allow to publish group content on the "Board" page of a translation group #31

From @robertgarrigos via Gitter:

there is a board tab for each translation group, to publish group content, but I have no permissions to publish any type of content in there. It could be nice to have a content type to publish news or instructions to the team.

First ideas:

Name of the content type: "Group post"
Set the content type to be a group content.
Fields: Title, Image, Body

@robertgarrigos, do we need more?

olafgrabienski commented 5 years ago

I've added the "Group post" content type. Here some information about the implementation:

Organic Groups role with group post permissions: administrator member (create / edit any / delete own)
There is an "Add content" link in the "Navigation" block in the sidebar.
Default comment settings: Closed
Group posts are listed as teasers with "Read more" link, using the existing view "Translation group board".
Image styles: "Content max width" (custom) for node display, "Large" (system) for teaser

I hope these settings are okay for the time being. We can however change some of them later.

Ideas for improvements / follow-ups:

better styling of the posts, e.g. floating image in teaser mode (we have no custom CSS workflow so far)
more informative teasers, e.g. displaying the date of a post
provide a WYSIWYG editor
