displaying read more in teaser view list

I did this with a crazy use of calling ed_readmore functions in template.php for a views template preprocess function. Do not attempt by trial and error, i can get the code from openmedia's repository.

VBO (Views Bulk Operations, a great module) does an admiral job. I could only get it to work for about 250 at a time; 500 at a time didn't time out but instead weirdly caused a validation error. Also of note: Filtering by user, the autocomplete has anonymous as Anonymous even if you've renamed as Visitor or such. And there is no "anonymous" role to filter by so if going by role, it has to be an "everything but everything else" filter.

what new are we bringing to Drupal?

Within the mod_rewrite directive....

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

...right below where Drupal's default .htaccess has the rewrite base option, we can add this:

  # Redirects from old site
  RewriteRule ^leadership.php$ /community/leadership [NC,R=301,L]

We can have as many rules like that as we want. It's not the fastest way to redirect but it's faster than making Drupal do it internally.

Drupal hardcodes minelli to be the theme for the update.php and install.php pages. Stupid.

• Minnelli is always used for the initial install and update operations. In
• other cases, "settings.php" must have a "maintenance_theme" key set for the

• $conf variable in order to change the maintenance theme.

  // Install and update pages are treated differently to prevent theming overrides.
  if (defined('MAINTENANCE_MODE') && (MAINTENANCE_MODE == 'install' || MAINTENANCE_MODE == 'update')) {
  $theme = 'minnelli';
  }

The following overridden view(s) are provided by other modules: highlight. To resolve this problem either revert each view or clone each view so that modified versions can be exported withy our feature.

Features appears to be unaware that it is the very feature i am exporting that is the module that provides the View highlight.

Exporting the feature again worked fine.

Before we do anything to try to upgrade a site, we back it up. We also never upgrade the live, production instance of a site, but a copy. (At least the first time.

[gotcha] If copying over the entire code of a site, make absolutely certain that we have changed the database connection settings in settings.php. Especially if we are (and we shouldn't be, but if we are) on the same server as our live site. [/gotcha]
