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.

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

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

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
