Editing revision 53 of Drupal

* Drupal 7 is in /etc/drupal/7 * Drupal 8 is in /etc/drupal/8 ==Update drupal== * download new minor version to, say, /tmp/drupal-7.28.tar.gz * back up: sudo cd /etc/drupal ./backup (you'll have to hit return a bunch of times) drupal=8 untar the release, stripping off the first path element: cd $drupal tar vxf /tmp/drupal-7.72.tar.gz --strip 1 Now put the permissions back, below ==Update Modules== Before you update the modules you have to change the whole sites/ and modules/ directories to www-data permission: drupal=8 OR drupal=7 cd /etc/drupal/${drupal}/ chown -R www-data:www-data sites/ modules/ themes/ .. then run the module update code admin--> reports --> updates Now, put the permissions back; fix the permissions so that drupal can write to files/* and install its own modules, but not to the rest. /bin/chown -R daniel:users /etc/drupal/${drupal}/ /bin/chown -R www-data:www-data /etc/drupal/${drupal}/sites/*/files/ /bin/chown -R www-data:www-data /etc/drupal/${drupal}/modules/ and finally, run update.php on all websites :-( ==Create A New Site== * Point the dns for fruitcake.org and www.fruitcake.org at bonmot.ca * Copy, paste, and modify a file for fruitcake.org in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled site=fruitcake.org cd /usr/share/drupal7/sites/ mkdir $site cp default/default.settings.php ${site}/settings.php for i in files modules themes ; do mkdir ${site}/${i} ; done chown -R www-data:www-data ${site} Now create the database for it: site=fruitcake mysqladmin -uroot -p create $site mysql -uroot -p grant all on fruitcake.* to 'fruitcake'@'localhost' identified by 'password'; flush privileges; exit You're done. Go to http://fruitcake.org/ and follow the setup wizard, giving it the database info. Now enter theme selection and configuration hell - but that's your problem. ==Create A New Sub Site== * e.g. for the site http://bonmot.ca/fruitcake/ * Create (or copy & rename) a file in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/bonmot.ca.fruitcake.conf Alias /fruitcake /usr/share/drupal7 * ... and restart apache2 with systemctl reload apache2 * create the database as above * run shellscript above with site=bonmot.ca.fruitcake * cp default/default.settings.php $site/settings.php * chown www-data:www-data $site/settings.php * go to the url and follow the setup wizard, and then into theme hell. ==Slide Shows / Sliders / Slideshows== Instructions here: https://www.ostraining.com/blog/drupal/drupal-8-slideshows/ ==Cool Features== User List Page * Install "Views" * Follow the looong list [http://views-help.doc.logrus.com/help/views/example-users-by-role here]. Recently changed pages report * enable "Tracker" built-in module. ==Solar Nova Scotia== Social Media: Structure --> Blocks --> Custom Block Library --> Social Footer
