A Drupal module making module

This note is simply so that next time Agaric searches for Joachim and Dmitri's module-writing module, Module Builder, we find it. (It is selected to be part of Agaric's big list of Drupal development modules, which is the only way I found it again this time.

(Um, note that it doesn't actually write your module, but pads out a nice framework for you to write your module.)

So you've got yourself a shiny new laptop, installed ubuntu and virtualbox and now you have a version of windows xp running nicely in a window.
But that's not enough for you is it? You want to be able to see your local environment from your XP install too, so you fire up IE and goto http://localhost, but it ain't there!!

April Metrowest Drupal Meetup

Dan demonstrated a lot of JQuery goodness.

Kathleen demonstrated DBScripts

  • Keep the database in sync with code
  • Preserve the ability to use the web GUI
  • Rapid development workflow
  • Merge development and production databases

DBScripts with git-svn and git-gui: notes

Using DBScripts. Notes from watching the master.

if they do something during dump and restore, it could break dump and restore
so turn off apache for that process -- script for that may be added to dbscripts

in production environments where not even 30 seconds of downtime is acceptable, you have A/B, two sites. [Still use

svn add delete ev

bring into my environment

./dbscripts/merge.php

May or may not be a conflict.

Edited a node, yes a conflict.

Open node.sql in gedit.
