nationalise your site with enlisted variables

Fri, 2009/11/13 - 11:27am — clemens

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.

Block the Builder presentation at Drupal Jam 2009-06-26 Utrecht

This book is about what step I took to prepare the (temporary) demo site and what my presentation is about.

Relocating the files directory

Tue, 2009/02/03 - 12:10pm — clemens

Trying best practices I occasionally move the files directory from DRUPAL_ROOT/files/my-site.com to DRUPAL_ROOT/sites/my-sites/files

Doing this has some implications for the files table content. All file-path are pointing to the wrong location.

Quick solution for this is an mysql replace update query.

select replace(filepath, 'files/my-site/', 'sites/my-site/files/') from files;
# update files set filepath=replace(filepath, 'files/my-site/', 'sites/my-site/files/')"

Or through drush

My development environment so far

Fri, 2008/08/22 - 1:40pm — clemens

Intro

These are my notes when doing my first (drupal) presentation @ FrOSCon 2008 Drupal Room

This method uses the concepts

  1. All drupal sites in directory www
  2. All site-config in a separate directory
  3. All site-data in a separate directory

This way an upgrade to another drupal version runs smoothly. Hmmm this was about developer environment.

Add new local domain

Why do I need this? To make sites like http://nf.test http://nf.dev or http://froscon.demo


sudo su -
echo 127.0.0.254 froscon.demo >> /etc/hosts

Thu, 2008/02/28 - 1:14pm — clemens

It's quite neat using drush to install ubercart. Here is what I did.

Preparation

  1. Install drupal 5.x
  2. Install your site/database
  3. download and install drush
  4. download and install update_status
  5. if you want to follow along install this patch for the module manager
  6. Enable the above modules. For a list see below.

Installing

graphviz or hypergraph

Mon, 2008/02/25 - 3:16pm — clemens

When making these images about modules i use graphviz to render them. But just ran into http://drupal.org/project/hypergraph which looks great.

So I have to study this one!

Commands to render a .dot file are ie with non overlapping nodes

neato -Goverlap=false -o my.neato.png -T png my.dot

or for a top down graph.

dot -T png -o my.dot.png my.dot

The attached image is an installation with the jstools, cck, views, drush, og in order to get faster user experiences.

Modules in err

Wed, 2008/02/20 - 7:06pm — clemens

Installing modules with drush is easy.

# drush pm install ubercart

My drush patch for a module manager makes it more easier to SEE what's installed.

listing# drush mm list
imagary# drush mm dot | dot -T png -o ~/graph.png

shows a module in error. (I deleted workflow_ng) scroll to the right for red
