Content Types

• You can create a field for linking a node to the new group on a content type by going to the content type configuration and choosing group content type under the Group tab.
• Go back to the Organic groups fields settings and for the bundle Node->(content type), choose the field "Group content visibility."

Views

• Note: This requres og_views module, which is not yet stable for Drupal 7.
• To set up a view that displays all nodes of a group, go to Organic groups fields settings
• Add "Group Views" to the Group bundle.
• Return to Group content type settings and under Manage fields, next to the og_views field, click edit
