2. “ Open Atrium is an intranet in a box that has group
spaces to allow different teams to have their own
conversations. It comes with six features - a blog,
a wiki, a calendar, a to do list, a shoutbox, and a
dashboard to manage it all.

4. Part intranet, part do-it-yourself project
with a kick of open source hotness
for all tastes: the easygoing and the picky

6. Open Atrium out of the box.

7. Open Atrium as a public website.

8. Open Atrium as a fully customized private group.

9. Open Atrium as a social network.

10. Open Atrium as a file manager.

11. Open Atrium as you like it.

17. Recipes

18. How to
Add custom user profile fields

19. core = "6.x"
dependencies[] = "features"
dependencies[] = "text"
description = "Custom profile feature."
features[content][] = "profile-field_profile_city"
features[content][] = "profile-field_profile_country"
name = "Custom Profile"
package = "Features"
project = "custom_profile"
version = "6.x-1.0"
custom_profile.info

20. How to
Override Atrium's core configuration

21. core = "6.x"
dependencies[] = "book"
dependencies[] = "codefilter"
...
description = "Atrium sitewide settings and configuration."
...
features[variable][] = "upload_uploadsize_default"
features[variable][] = "upload_usersize_default"
features[variable][] = "user_picture_default"
...
name = "Atrium"
package = "Atrium"
atrium.info

22. <?php
/**
* Implementation of hook_strongarm_alter()
*/
function custom_profile_strongarm_alter(&$items) {
if (isset($items['user_picture_default'])) {
$items['user_picture_default']->value = 'sites/.../user.png';
}
}
?>
hook_strongarm_alter()

23. Feature's component alter hooks

24. “ Hooks to modify components defined by other
features. These come in the form
hook_COMPONENT_alter where COMPONENT is
the default_hook declared by any of
components within features.
CTools also has a variety of hook_FOO_alters.
features.api.php

25. How to
Alter contexts at run-time

26. /**
* Implementation of hook_context_load_alter().
*/
function spaces_context_load_alter(&$context) {
$space = spaces_get_space();
if ($space) {
foreach (array_keys(context_reactions()) as $plugin) {
$override = $space->controllers
->context
->get("{$context->name}:reaction:{$plugin}");
if (!is_null($override)) {
$context->reactions[$plugin] = $override;
}
}
}
}

27. How to
Remove the Welcome video block

29. <?php
/**
* Implementation of hook_spaces_presets_alter()
*/
function custom_group_spaces_presets_alter(&$items) {
// Store a reference to our target block section.
$blocks = &$items['atrium_groups_private']->value['context']
['spaces_dashboard-custom-1:reaction:block']['blocks'];
// Remove "Welcome" block.
unset($blocks['atrium-welcome_member']);
// Add "Latest discussions" block.
$blocks['views-blog_listing-block_1'] = array(
'module' => 'views',
'delta' => 'blog_listing-block_2',
'region' => 'content',
'weight' => 1,
);
}
?>
hook_spaces_presets_alter()

31. How to
Create custom group types

32. core = "6.x"
dependencies[] = "atrium_news"
dependencies[] = "atrium_pages"
dependencies[] = "context"
dependencies[] = "menu"

features[ctools][] = "spaces:spaces:3"
features[menu_custom][] = "menu-portal"
features[menu_links][] = "menu-portal:calendar"
features[menu_links][] = "menu-portal:dashboard"
features[spaces_presets][] = "atrium_portal"
name = "atrium_portal"
package = "Features"

33. Custom feature set

34. /**
* Implementation of hook_spaces_presets().
*/
function atrium_portal_spaces_presets() {
...
'spaces_features' => array(
'atrium_blog' => '0',
'atrium_book' => '0',

...
atrium_portal.spaces.inc

35. Custom dashboard context

36. /**
* Implementation of hook_spaces_presets().
*/
function atrium_portal_spaces_presets() {
...
'context' => array(
'spaces_dashboard-custom-1:reaction:block' => array(
'blocks' => array(
'views-atrium_news-block_3' => array(
'module' => 'views',
'delta' => 'atrium_news-block_3',
'region' => 'content',
'weight' => 0,
