Agaric Site Reorganization

Administration menu initial settings

For the necessary admin_menu module, I prefer the initial settings to not collapse fields on the modules page

With current initial settings this means unchecking "Apply margin-top to page body" and "Collapse fieldsets on modules page." Instead of going through this step every time this should be rolled into Agaric's basic/base installation profile.

Resolution

Number 2 and nothing else on some pages at some links in Drupal

Page contains only a numeric representation of 'two'

Research:
Menus missing, user login page not found
http://drupal.org/node/161106

content won't display on the administer page, except for the number "2"
http://drupal.org/node/233581

Answer:
The Number 2

This is very embarrassing. I took all these notes and then never recorded the answer, which I know I found.

Resolution

Git the Agaric Way: using shell scripts to add and update projects

Update: Forget it. Complication outweighs benefits.

Note: Before you start doing any of this, you would need to copy Agaric's git directory structure-- note that this is not a single git repository, but many git repositories. More on that elsewhere, this is about using the system properly set up.

What finally works:

Navigate to the pseudo-repository's sites directory:

cd /RCS/git/agaric-sites/
Ebony-II:agaric-sites ben$ git-new-site.sh 5 test

Including a file in a bash script: that's what dot file does

To source a file in a shell script is similar to the way one can include or require a file in PHP.

A landing page (in fact, every page) can only cause one of five actions:

Make nodes easy to edit, even when they are embedded in a panel or teaser ist

benjamin melançon 11:09
well no more!

dan hak 11:09
i assumed thats what you were getting at

In our node.tpl.php, just below:

Agaric replaces Quicktags with BUEditor (both are easy ways to add HTML markup to your content)

Agaric officially considers Quicktags, though written by the great Bér Kessels, to be deprecated in favor of BUEditor.

Key features:

  • Easily create new tag types, without making a module or anything.
  • Decide which textarea form elements to show it on, and which not to.

Also nice: the link javascript dialog box is very intuitive.

Possible drawbacks

Drupal.org's PHP input format

how does Drupal.org do its PHP input filter?

the one that if you put PHP tags around it it will make nicely formatted and colored code

(may have posted this question on agaric)
