Open Data

Every .profile will consist simply of

// this consists of the following components
$blogging = TRUE;
...

include('agaric_starter_profile.inc');

agaric_starter_profile.inc is what actually contains all of the profile code, and all the if ($blogging) include('blogging_modules.inc'); and if ($blogging) include('blogging_final.inc'); statements

Hardcoding the Drupal search box form into the theme can result in this:

Validation error, please try again. If this error persists, please contact the site administrator.

So customize your bar the Drupal way:

From (and we do mean stolen directly from the Drupal handbook) http://drupal.org/node/45295

Add to template.php (create if necessary)

<?php
function phptemplate_search_theme_form($form) {
/**
* This snippet catches the default searchbox and looks for
* search-theme-form.tpl.php file in the same folder

svn exclude file from version control
subversion
subversion remove from repository
leave out of source code management
do not use in checkout of revision controlled repository

An actually useful bit of information:

Excluding/ignoring files

You can exclude files (e.g. *.o) from a directory by typing (in this directory):

svn propset svn:ignore *.o

To show the ignored files, type:

svn status --no-ignore

If you think your view imported fine, but it's not showing up anywhere that views should be listed, remember that an imported view has to then be saved. At the bottom of the page you're taken to after import, the view edit page, get down to the bottom and press save.

This was a useful sudo command... for copying from a server that had SVN and could update to one that did not have SVN.

sudo scp -r username@subdomain.example.org:/var/www/drupal-4.7.6/sites/coanews.org/modules/quicktags-4.7.x-1.x-dev.tar_07-May-12 modules/quicktags-4.7.x-1.x-dev.tar_07-May-12

XML-RPC

(This guy's using Drupal 5! [before the release candidate, mind you])

Going forward: XML-RPC ?

Agaric's been searching:

drupal replace node title
drupal replace title with calculated field
use CCK fields for headline text

http://drupal.org/project/auto_nodetitle

(It is not called Node Auto Title, NAT is actually Node Auto Term and is a wonderful, but entirely different, module. That didn't stop me from instructing my co-collective member to download it...)

Related Content will make it so easy to relate two pieces of content on a site that people who have never participated on a website before will make connections between information, ideas, or actions that make a positive difference for everyone in the community (and maybe even change the way we think or act).

Planned features:

<

ul>

fago__: drupal doesn't use them for anything, afaik
fago__: so it's up to contribs to add value to them
agaric: http://drupal.org/node/148080
bot_module: http://drupal.org/node/148080 => Add related terms & synonym editing => Node Auto Term [NAT], Code, normal, patch (code needs review), 1 IRC mention
agaric: And contribs are just starting to do so. But one would think that somewhere taxonomy would have a written rationale for having them in the first place?
fago__: I'm not aware of any.. but yeah, for what synonyms are thought is quite obvious

Ever think, so I just did all this cool stuff with CCK, and I want to save it to use it again?

Wanted CCK field structure export and import?

It's called the content_copy module, and comes built into CCK in Drupal 5.

It also reputedly has some of the most beautiful code ever written in PHP, by KarenS. Really, when's the last time you saw peopel spontaneously writing in an issue how amazing code looked?
