Too-true Typo of the Week: the wanders of unit testing

The too-true typo of the week, from Kyle Mathews' Unit Testing Success Story:

The Lullabot crew had a recent podcast on the wanders of unit testing.

The wanders, indeed.

Drupal is a Do-ocracy

In response to (and crossposted from my comment on) Drupal Community Philosophies by Angie Byron:

One matter of terminology:

Automatically making connections

Just a quick post to note that the Facebook functionality where when you type in a URL it instantly finds if there's a Facebook group with that web site is pretty cool.

It puts a little too much information about the group right embedded in your post, but still a very cool connection-maker (or re-enforcer).

Checking out your contributed module from CVS to work on it more

cvs -z6 -d:pserver:agaric@cvs.drupal.org:/cvs/drupal-contrib checkout -d term_message contributions/modules/term_message

This was a module with a dead head, so I also had to do this (I could have put the -r DRUPAL-5 into the above command immediately after the checkout).

Ebony-II:term_message ben$ cvs update -dP -r DRUPAL-5
cvs update: Updating .
U term_message.info
U term_message.install
U term_message.module

Adding content that will appear in the perfect spot

Because skilled web developers set it up that way.

You'll be able to go create content --> add sponsor and just type in their company name, select their sponsorship level from a drop down list, upload their company logo and type in a description of the company as well. The sponsors will automatically appear on the sponsor page according to sponsorship level, and the top 6 sponsors will show in the block on the bottom of the page with their logo.

Agaric wants easy listing of a site's enabled Drupal modules including missing modules

Agaric wants our sites to generate a list of enabled modules.

Update: So we made an enabled modules module.

We want each enabled module to be listed even if the module code isn't there. This is convenient when moving messy sites.

Ideally the list of modules could communicate back to a central site and let you know what's up, but that functionality should actually live with update_status.

Two similar needs means we make a module!

Using Drush to install or update to a particular tagged release of a module

Drush love continues. First, we use Drush's command line help to answer our every question. It follows the format drush help command.

ben@server:/sites/ignitecleanenergy/www/sites/all/modules$ drush/drush.php help pm install

Usage: drush [options] pm install ...
is the short name of a project hosted on drupal.org,
or the short name and the version number (Drupal major version is optional).
e.g. project, project-5.x-1.0, project-1.0, project-1.x-dev, project-1.1-rc1
So far, only modules are supported.

Anjali's Website & Racing Update: A simple Agaric site in use

It's great to see a site in use – a classy and professional site for an incredible person – but though built on a budget clearly we can and will make it easier to use for subscriptions and notification purposes:

Hello Everybody -

Wrong way: installing gems accidentally instead of rubygems, and uninstalling

This is just embarrassing. Maybe we shouldn't post everything.

Why does gem need so much? Ugh.
