build2be/com/e something is going on over there

I never tried to do an core update on the command line. Today I tried it.

Get the latest drupal version

Check your download

Checkout svn drupal-6-core

Step into drupal version to update

Apply the patch

Is this all?

With drupal we can enable the locale module and install the i18n module to internationalise and translate our site we can make our hands dirty by visiting the http://build2be.com/admin/build/translate/search.

Still our work is not finished yet. We have to dive into settings.php to translate more strings of our site.

Taken from http://drupal.org/node/275705#comment-1058360 and using http://drupal.org/projects/drush_sm we learn we may choose from a lot of variables.

After having worked with subversion for a while I finally got time to restructure my repository layouts. What I want is a simple way to update all the sites I maintain and I want those sites under version control.

Steps I took

1. Make a drupal core repository
2. Create your project repository
3. Reference to the drupal core

Directory layout

In order to get a nice update-able project directory tree we choose a layout listed below.

This contains only drupal core code will live.

Searching on terms 'blog editor linux' I found these somewhat outdated links Five Desktop Blog Editors for GNU/Linux Users and Five More Desktop Blog Editors for GNU/Linux Users
Having a list is better then having zillions google links.
* GNOME Blog Entry Poster
* Drivel Journal Editor
* BloGTK Blog Editor
* ScribeFire Firefox Extension

Modules:
* dhtml_menu
* extlink
* pagination
Themes:
* waffles

This is my list of Firefox extensions.
* CodeBurner for quick lookups for HTML and CSS
* Cooliris nice image wall
* CoolPreviews previews a link hoover
* DownThemAll a much better download manager
* DrupalForFirebug explains enough
* Ghostery for the paranoids among us
* Grab Them All for having full browser screenshots. Is a little arcane to use
* Pixel Perfect for overlaying a design on the development version
* Quick Translation
* SenSEO
* Session Manager for quickly switch browser tabs

I'm still learning to use more command line options.
Today I wanted to apply Hide machine readable name of menu by default. so I had to search for the context around the drupal #attached_js form tag.
So I type man grep and search for context. And bly me there is an option :)
grep --context=4 -r "attached_js" *
Which is _cool_

It took some time and effort to configure but now I found the time and annoyance to give it a try.
Well not quite. The gnome-blog-poster is way to simple. Anyway it works.
The annoyance today is about eclipse. I need eclipse integration with trac and it wasn't working on eclipse 3.4.
So I installed eclipse 3.5 which is the third installation of eclipse in 1 week time sigh. Enabled mylyn and downloaded the trac integration plugin.
