Code for Contrib: When There's Not a Module for That

Presenters: mlncn, Stefan Freudenberg, misscs

You won't understand everything about module development this hour, or this week, this month, this year, or this decade.

That's why the approach here is to learn how to learn. Not simply, this is what , but what investigation or resource or secret guild of wizards was needed to gain that knowledge?

Setting up redirects in .htaccess for all paths matching a pattern

In a Drupal .htaccess file, these rules must come before RewriteBase.

So:

# Various rewrite rules.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine on

  RewriteRule ^raw/(.*)$ http://data.agaric.com/$1 [R=301,L]

  # All the usual rules
</IfModule>

That rule removes the 'raw/' from all incoming URLs and permanently redirects (301) to the non-raw version.

Drush site-upgrade and re-running upgrades over existing code

Drush's site-upgrade command asks whether to replace or re-use an existing target site.

Drupal site already exists at /home/ben/code/anjali7/web. Would you like to:
[0] : Cancel
[1] : Delete the existing site and start over.
[2] : Re-use the existing code, re-import the database from the source site
and run updatedb again.

This can be avoided by running the command with the --reuse flag.

Equal compensation as an efficiency and productivity competitive advantage

or, "How i became a communist for business purposes"

An e-mail titled "Income, unbilled work, and expenses" is where i turned, while writing it.

My initial position had been that the source of money for Agaric is client work. Therefore, we only get paid for client work. We want to do other things and we will, but if you don't track it and bill it, you don't get paid.

Online tool for picking a time when everyone can meet

This note exists because i manage to forget the name of the meeting time choosing tool that everyone uses.

It's Doodle.

And if there's something better than Doodle, we can list that here, too.

p.s. There is, of course, a Drupal module for that: http://drupal.org/project/makemeeting

Joining a Credit Union

Having chosen a credit union over banks, the next step is joining one.

The catch with credit unions is being eligible. No one in Agaric qualified for Alliant, for example, mentioned by some people as the best alternative to the USAA for non-military people. This difficulty makes joining a credit union more challenging than simply choosing one.

Understanding

in

Richard Feynman said, "I don't know what's the matter with people: they don't learn by understanding, they learn by some other way — by rote or something. Their knowledge is so fragile!"

(via Seth Godin)

That's the exact same thing that frustrates Stefan about my denseness on various (especially Debian) concepts.
