Remote drush commands

How we would probably want this to work is that "rake prod vlad:drush XXX" call "ssh prodservername drush -r /path/to/project/drupal XXX"

For instance: ssh prodservername drush -r /path/to/project/drupal enable bad_judgement

Drupal wish: Configuration setting to make all content types default to create new revision

Requests for this feature go all the way back to the days of Drupal 4.6, at the least:

create new revision by default

(4.6 era post!)

This feature remains wanted-- here is the manual instructions, for Stanford.edu!

Making changes to a nested array that may have arrays or strings in some values

Pulled this from the test module for the new RDF module we're putting in Drupal core.

// dealing with a nested array where the top level can be a string or an
// array is complex and helper functions may be a good addition

<?php
  rdf_mapping_alter_create
('rdf_test_container', 'title', )

Find out what sites directory Drupal is currently using

The answer is conf_path().

The backstory is we are making a new 'modules', 'themes', or 'files' level folder inside sites/whatever: 'config', to store configuration settings in files.

This would be the ultimate way to get a listing of all ini files in modules, and could do the same thing for 'config' -- this grabs from the currently in use sites directory (such as sites/default) as well as sites/all, profiles, and the built-in modules directory:

drupal_system_listing('\.ini$', 'modules', 'name', 0);

Enter the Unholy: Microsoft Word to the Web

Summary of the issue below, and then the beginnings of a search for a solution.

Currently TinyMCE with the WYSIWYG API is in use.

Problems with the wysywg editor, which is a life or death issue for the site.

Problem 1: gibberish code inserted after cut and paste from Word
Problem 2: arbitrary line breaks inserted into text – they are invisible in the editor, visible in preview and in publish, but are not at all fixable by using the editor.

Writing Help Documentation for Drupal Developers and Administrators: Tools needed

Kathleen: I want to be able to click on a link to write help on admin pages.

We have to be able to integrate this with the advanced_help

Wow. The Advanced Help Injection and Export module,

is already a good bit there.

Filed an issue asking about getting the rest of the way there

Clipboard manager with snippets for Ubuntu?

Mac! not Linux! http://sourceforge.net/projects/qsnip/

Glipper, installable through the graphical package manager, is only a clipboard history and isn't doing it for me.

Easily adding content found in pubmed to your Drupal Biblio (and Agaric) enhanced site

After dreaming about using views to query other databases, namely pubmed... and having an import button for the content you really want... I realized that rather than writing views understanding of authors and mesh terms and titles to be able to add to the URL query entrez wonderfully allows us to query PubMed and other databases with.... it would be far, far easier to give the people who need to find articles an 'import this article' button in the browser.
