Re: [drupal.org] World Social Forum 2008 site, great initiative!!

Hi Martijn,

Yes, we will be giving every bit of code and configuration back on Drupal.org

The SVN repository is public also.

We'd be happy to give you the Places vocabulary populated by the participants of WSF2008. Remind us right when you need it-- the later it is, of course, the better and more complete it will be ;-)

Pierre's some ideas on the specs

Note this predates Agaric's proposal for the WSF2008 project.

Hi Jason and Benjamin

in the spirit of our chat of last thursday i have tried to go further
in some aspects - this may help for the monday chat to which i cannot participate- will post on the wiki soon

Alternative proposal for country selection: splash page

From Jason if Agaric's collective memory is working:

Idea for the country selection:

We put a pre-home page with a big title, a nice background (could be the wsf worldmap for now) and the list of countries by continent in 5 columns.
I would also like to have a spot there - we have one available soon.
Plus a button to skip directly to the home page below in the center of the footer.

This would allow us to have people link directly to their country/language page.

It should be quite easy to do, since it is just links to nodes of the site.

Userreference Access module development notes

The genesis is in Michelle's request for a userreference access module which we called a node authors module in the notes over there.

Change the number of columns in a grid view

You may be asking yourself: why did I find this information at some site called Agaric Design Collective? Beats us. If you can find the right place in the Drupal handbook (drupal.org/handbook) for this information, please put it there!

Looking at the code of views_bonus_grid.module:

  // set default count.

  $cols = $view->gridcount ? $view->gridcount : 4;

It would seem that putting

$view->gridcount = 2;

(replace two with your chosen number)

into "Argument Handling Code," "Argument Code:"

Uninstall with aptitude: remove

To uninstall something with aptitude:

aptitude remove something

Darn it, we need a new aptitude.
This aptitude does not have Super Cow Powers.

I tried to uninstall ftp on stedile to make dkg happy, and there is no uninstall command so I got the help text
which concluded with, "This aptitude does not have Super Cow Powers."
aptitude remove proftpd
is the syntax for uninstalling. That might change with super cow powers though.

GHOP patch to the modules page which shows how much memory is in use

merlinofchaos: webchick: I finally came up with a ghop idea. It just hit me today, in fact.
[8:43pm] webchick: merlinofchaos, oooo!!
[8:43pm] webchick: do tell.
[8:43pm] merlinofchaos: webchick: We have ghop kids doing patches, right?
[8:43pm] webchick: Yep. And in many cases they're smarter than me.

Thanks to John Forsyth's comment:

Agaric is trying out Blog Bridge:

Because it's FOSS and cross-platform.

Resolution

Applying a patch to Drupal CVS checkout

Applying a patch.

You can just use the link to the patch from the issue queue (in this example, in a post by galapas to my usability request) to fetch the patch directly with wget:

ben@server:/var/www/drupal6$ sudo wget http://drupal.org/files/issues/system-admin-inc.193034.patch

Then apply the patch:

ben@server:/var/www/drupal6$ sudo patch -p0 < system-admin-inc.193034.patch

Didn't like it much, so reversed it:
