Drupal: Organic groups

In bewährter Art und Weise erklärt Johan Falk Organic Groups.

Organic Groups comes with a nice example feature that sets up the most common configuration in a snap, but to really make use of the module you need to know how to use relationships and contextual filters in Views, how to use relationships and Views content panes in Page manager, and how access and utilize data in Rules.

The screencast series Learn Organic groups tries to explain how to use OG and make the most out of it, by using it together with other important Drupal modules.

Drupal: Mehrsprachige Webseiten

Karen Stevenson erklärt die beiden unterschiedlichen Wege Inhalte einer Drupal 7 Seite zu übersetzen.

Neben dem “alten” Weg, der eine Kopie des Nodes anlegt, gibt es in Drupal 7 eine Übersetzung auf Entity Ebene.

In this system each piece of content consists of a single node, but each field on the node can have multiple copies, in different languages, all attached to the same entity. The API to get this system working went into core, but there was no time (and not enough agreement) to get a UI into core. So the Entity Translation module was created to provide a way for site administrators and translators to use the new field translation system.

The most confusing thing about the D7 translation system is that both these systems are available in D7. You can even use one system for one content type and the other for another content type. If you only want the D6-style translation set system, you would enable the core Content Translation module and not use the contributed Entity Translation module at all. If you only want the D7 per-field translation system, you would not enable the core Content Translation module and instead enable the contributed Entity Translation module.

Interessant, den neuen Weg kannte ich noch nicht…

Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 Migration

Früher oder später steht die Migration von Drupal 6 auf Drupal 7 für einige Kundenprojekte an. Daher zur eigenen Erinnerung zwei Links zu Migrate 2.

Im Beitrag Upgrade from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 with Migrate 2 findet man einige Tips und den Code der für diese Seite verwendet wurde.

One very useful feature in the Migrate module is the support for continuous migration. If new content is added to the old site Migrate module can continuously migrate that over to the new. In the case of xdeb.org it meant that my wife could continue to write blogs uninterrupted. When the new site was ready I did a final migration run and flipped the switch.

Migrating content by using the migrate module erklärt die Migration von Usern, Nodes und Custom Field Handlern.

Drupal: Applying, Creating a patch

Zwei Videos von lullabot erklären wie man einen Patch für Drupal Module mit GIT einspielt und erzeugt.

Drush5

Einige Screencasts von CivicActions zeigen schon mal was mit Drush 5 möglich ist. Sehr nett.

drush -rs

A new command in Drush 5 is the runserver command (alias “rs”), which is a built in web server for development. All you need is the php-cgi binary and you can bring up a server (and logged in web-browser, if you like!) for a specified site in seconds - no need to have Apache configured for the site, or even running.

drush -qd

All you need is php-cgi and the PDO sqlite driver - you don’t need MySQL or Apache running at all. Running the command will download and install Drupal (or your choice of distribution) as well as any contrib projects you like, start the built in php webserver and open your default browser with you already logged in as user 1.
