Configuring blocks for your admin theme

Drupal 6 introduces the feature of choosing an administration theme, and it can be any theme that is physically present in your Drupal installation; it does not have to be enabled. You simply select the theme at admin/settings/admin

However, to modify which blocks are in which region, to have the theme show up on the configure blocks page at admin/build/blocks, you must enable the theme at admin/build/themes (once you are done you can disable it again).

Sharing data between sites with RDF

Sharing data between sites in RDF (in theory).

The core RDF module provides an API for mapping RDF data.

Use the contrib RDF package to provide the rdfui and rdfx modules. As of right now, before the release of Drupal 7, the most up-to-date, 7.x version of these modules can be found at http://github.com/scor/rdf

For more advanced querying, the SPARQL module can be used.

Update: New modules for Sharing Data Semantically

Project managing, managing expectations

They are like me when i started out as a project manager, no idea of what the project involves or what value it provides.

It's up to you to show them that value.

It's very important that you not let anything get to you as a PM.

Have to be very clear that custom code has to be reported.

"How much Drupal do you feel you have to know? Our project managers want to know Drupal but they don't want to build sites. How much about Drupal, about development, do project managers have to know?"

We started with picking up copies of "Using Drupal".

Using Drush to list your modules and their statuses: drush sm (for show modules)

On the command line and want to list the modules you have on your site? Fortunately, there's a module-listing command that Agaric's Stefan Freudenberg contributed to Drush.

drush sm

Think "show modules" to remember sm. (The official full name of the command is pm-list which is confusing so just ignore it.)

You can do all your usual fancy command line things:

ben@ubuntu:~/code/agaric/web$ drush sm | grep Views
