Hello World: This is custuom text that displays when a user posts media.

-0-0-0-0

if this template is the default template, link colors should be something other than BLACK, perhaps Blue?

See the links on the right of this post (forum topics) the most noticible issue was right after i joined, there was a link to "go to forum main page" but it was black and not underlined.

Another note, the overlay on new "media" is not clickable
i can't click the word "photo" "video" etc...
not sure if there is a way to make that clickable. But it would be nice, since it feels like it should be a link like the photo under it.

There aren't any collections right now. you can create one of you go to the Manage Screen.

Ths is optional text that can be placed in the post screen. Also done on the manage page.

this is a custom template. the default template follows buzznet's regular color scheme. some of the isues you're seeing are due to my janky customization which only applies to this specific group.

this is clickable now

Dope!
So, so what are we able to customize on the layout?
everything, ALA Outcrowd?

I like this contest on bolt. and you said it had similar workflow, so i'm wondering what we can turn off... such as "forums" "links" and "journals" etc... so we have a barebones photo-based contest, so we can use for Flyleaf.

Right now the layout can be customized mainly through CSS. the group main page is pretty much an open text field where any html can be placed in there.

Will still need to build out the ability to restrict what post types can be submitted to a group.

Ok. i've built the functionality to restrict posts by type. this was a rather large undertaking, even though i was able to do it somewhat quickly. Lets keep discussion of new features or enhancements in a different thread

Dope. Sounds good.
i'll keep this to layout issues.
I need to give todd some direction for the Flyleaf contest, but i'll use the bolt page as an example of a large graphic promo for the contest for the main page, then we will use a more general buzznet template on sub-page/gallery pages.
