Things you learn at a code sprint

Tab completion. I witnessed hugging and declarations of love based on learning this.

Dreditor.

Drush. Install it with composer.

High I/O as possible source of Internal Server Error

We have Redmine running through Apache's mod_fcgid. I was seeing ruby processes using up to 100% of CPU and then getting errors in /var/log/apache2/error.log like "mod_fcgid: read data timeout in 40 seconds" and tracing that in /var/log/redmine/default/production.log to "ActionView::TemplateError (exit) on line #4 of app/views/issues/_action_menu.html.erb" which is only a safe-looking template line, "watcher_tag(@issue, User.current)". Moreover, the Internal Server Error didn't occur every time.

Which led me to look further to see what else was at play...

Virtual Machine Additions - sharing clipboard etc. between Vbox and Windows

Start up your Virtual Machine - You must be an administrator or a member of the Administrators group to install Virtual Machine Additions.

To find the Action menu, make sure you are not in "SCALE" mode or "FULLSCREEN"
Using the ctrl key to the RIGHT of the keyboard type the command ctrl+C

Once out of SCALE mode, the Action menu of the virtual machine is located on the top left, click Install or Update Virtual Machine Additions.

Blank localhost page after installing D7 locally - check your Apache logs

Using Ubuntu 12.04 -

I created a vhost on Ubuntu 12.04 using a2ensite, then I editied the config file:

sudo vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/YOUR_SITE

After saving the file, the browser loaded a blank page. When this happens you can open your Apache error log and look for the exact path that Apache is trying to find.
( tail /var/log/apache2/error.log )

The logs revealed a typo in the path to the document root for my site.

The site resolved properly after fixing the typo and restarting Apache:
sudo service apache2 restart

Format image fields to use the title as a caption printed under the image

There's a module for that:

image_caption_formatter

Found via the module creator's description of why and how... before turning it into a module by popular demand.

The client would like the alt text used also as the hover text now that the title is the caption; the module does not do this... yet.

Never thought far out, MVP was what can we make for the next stamp. Decide what to build, what has business value, will someone pay money for it.

When are you going to start paying money for it? If you are not willing to put dollars, you don't really perceive a value there.
