Needs Improvement

Deep in this old thread, "Looking for internationalization use cases and application feedback" - http://drupal.org/node/88417 - a user wrote:

I'm not sure what I did wrong but the Language Switcher block failed to work on mine site. I've to use Translation block instead

Good enough for me to start out with Translation as the block, since they look identical anyway...

dpr – Shortcut for dprint_r, a debug version of the PHP print_r function.
dvr – Similar to dpr, but uses var_dump instead of print_r.
dpm – Similar to dpr but print_r's a variable as a message using drupal_set_message.
dvm – Similar to dpm but uses var_dump instead of print_r.

Dear friends,

Here you have a proposal for the languages and translation issue. Of course, we'll have to discuss it in our next general chat (next Wednesday), but it'll be good to have an exchange this Saturday.

For tomorrow, I think we'll have at least to talk about :
- mapping,
- translation and languages.

But we'll surely other things to talk about...

In solidarity,

Christophe

About languages and translations in the website.

• what could go wrong
• what would increase the cost?

So he can see what would cause it to cost more.

So what are the features

Site easy to use.

Not time consuming unless they want it to be.

And actually connects them with people who have ideas.

People can vote, click on a thing to say "I like this idea"

Connect them to people who are entrepreneurs.

Connect them to people who are willing to invest.

Marketing budget.

But I can't find it.

Is it possible to create a unique front page template using phptemplate? Jeff eaten describes how yes, it is possible with custom code in template.php.

And there's no mention of built-in option for a special front page template in PHPtemplate section of Drupal's theming handbook.

But I still think it's possible...

Resolution

In Drupal 5, page-front.tpl.php does take over for the front page, overriding page.tpl.php.

Ben,

In windows xp I used Tortoise SVN to edit files on the server for theming purposes. Do you know of a program that is like Tortoise SVN but will work in Ubuntu? Maybe you've got to use the Wine emulator? Let me know if you have any ideas.

Thanks,

Gus

You would think the currently most popular open source free software version control system would have a spiffy GUI client to work with it on the currently most popular open source free software desktop operating system, wouldn't you?

Agaric procedure for taking a site that was sharing a Drupal codebase with a bunch of other sites standalone.

Download a new Drupal. http://drupal.org/project/drupal

SVN export the current agaric-sites/5/project-name/trunk/sitename.com directory to replace (and rename as) default.

Check the whole thing in.

(If you're starting from the beginning, download a starter CD.)

Note: Take time to look at each statement and what it runs.

All of this is from: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_debian_etch

apt-get install ssh openssh-server

vi /etc/network/interfaces

In there, this is the important part to change:
