Sprout and Drupal

There should be a Drupal module for this...

http://sproutbuilder.com/friendsofsprout/

Not the building of Flash applications, but just an aid for embedding and perhaps sharing the Sprout between sites. Possibly this could be done as a part (submodule) of the video module...

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.

Upgrading Drupal a full number version from a cold, dead database

So we got a Drupal 4.7 database from a client without the old 4.7 code.

OK, sure, slap that directly into a fresh Drupal 5 installation, and update it, right?

Uh, errors everywhere. Can't get to the admin section, let alone log in!

Super User Role Module

Agaric once had an idea for a module, "Super Role" ...

Drupal super user 1 role module

  • runs whenever modules are saved
  • gets full list of permissions, and saves it for the submin role
  • (permissions are just saved as a text string)

But happily that module has already been made!

StephTheGeek.com, nominee for craziest Drupal site of 2008

Already. And for all I know she designed it three years ago. But I saw it in 2008, and I am very impressed by very creative design that works.

How to configure and enable blocks in Drupal

Create some blocks first, the add block link at the top of the admin/build/block page

these blocks would be in different languages

then create a multilingual block, which will let you slot these blocks in. Again, I'm fairly certain you want something for each block even if you don't have a translation-- put another translation in.

from here on the steps are the same for any block

first, click configure next to the block

here you can tell it what pages to display on or not to display on (so you want to do this step before turning the block on)

Make Apple Spotlight index PHP files

I got spotlight to search my php files

and, if I manually set their type to text files, the .tpl files that phpbb uses as templates. (Note: this is a really old note. No more PHPbb. I do Drupal now!)

Site Improvements

The first in a long line of planned enhancements, the Agaric News block is finally here. We've got plenty more changes coming as well, after extensive polling of our users, we've realized that it's time for a change! yes, a change to a more user friendly site! ok, maybe the polling wasn't that extensive but still...

Brought to you by the Agaric overnight crew.

Making stuff better: the Agaric way.
