Temporary Securing Drupal through Basic Auth in settings.php

Tue, 2010/06/15 - 10:35am — clemens

We needed to protect our production site from prying eyes for a while with a basic authentication. Using apache basic auth settings seemed not enough. Or actually was too much. We wanted the theme to blend in. So these files were not supposed to get protected. Only our Drupal pages should.

Dumping all tables with drush

Thu, 2010/05/20 - 12:46pm — clemens

I want a clean database without clicking.

echo "\
SELECT concat('drop table ', table_name, ';') \
  FROM information_schema.tables \
  WHERE table_schema=schema()" \
| `drush sql-connect` \
| grep "^drop table " \
| `drush sql-connect`

This work only for single drupal / single schema installs.

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

Installing ubercart through drush pm and mm

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
