Agaric Site Reorganization

Imagecache settings not available to any user except UID 1?

Seriously, what? Imagecache enabled, the role has every single permission checked, but no Imagecache under sitebuilding (or anywhere else) and the Administer by module listing just gives a link to imagecache permissions, which my user has, as if only to mock me.

 

Using Ubiquity to post notes to Drupal

Good instructions for a particular method here:
http://www.schoonzie.com/using-the-ubiquity-firefox-extension-to-create-...

Followed but not currently using because of after installing the command by phoque command Ubiquity threw (apparently harmless) errors, and the process for modifying blog URLs was not clear (as in, even just listing the ones you've entered).

 

Configuring Global Redirect and Path Redirect

The modules in question:
Global Redirect: http://drupal.org/project/globalredirect
Path Redirect: http://drupal.org/project/path_redirect

Download and place your modules in the sites/all/modules directory of your site using your chosen method. Agaric recommends Drush.

Enable your modules at http://example.com/admin/build/modules

 

Adding and modifying organic group action (create content) links

Moshe is a Drupal God. Look at this! There's a hook for everything!

From og.modules own implementation of hook_og_block_details:

<?php
$links = module_invoke_all('og_create_links', $node);

// Modify these links by reference. If you want control of the whole block, see og_block_details().
foreach (module_implements('og_link_alter') AS $module) {

 

Site name with site e-mail (in return address of e-mails sent from the site)

[To Dan] What you were talking about yesterday was covered in one of my old issues tracked on Drupal.org which happened to pop up today:

Search PDF attachments on a Drupal site

There's A Module For That!TM

Way back like 3 Boston drupal meetups ago, moshe mentioned a module that would scrape thru PDF attachments and allow drupal to search them...

Got any idea what that module is called?

Found it? Maybe here?

http://groups.drupal.org/pdf

Ahh, found it direct-- here:

http://drupal.org/project/search_attachments

 

Administration menu initial settings

For the necessary admin_menu module, I prefer the initial settings to not collapse fields on the modules page

With current initial settings this means unchecking "Apply margin-top to page body" and "Collapse fieldsets on modules page." Instead of going through this step every time this should be rolled into Agaric's basic/base installation profile.

 

Number 2 and nothing else on some pages at some links in Drupal

Page contains only a numeric representation of 'two'

Research:
Menus missing, user login page not found
http://drupal.org/node/161106

content won't display on the administer page, except for the number "2"
http://drupal.org/node/233581

Answer:
The Number 2

This is very embarrassing. I took all these notes and then never recorded the answer, which I know I found.

I think maybe the problem is caused by logintoboggan sort of taking over, but I may be libeling here.

I know that Drupal internally represents ACCESS_DENIED as a constant that is equivalent to 2, so that's where this is coming from. But I'm not sure what's interfering with this b

In any case, if you have login toboggan, and you should, if you go to the settings page and enable the Show login form on access denied option.

And this will fix it.

UPDATE: Found the issue report, and my contribution to it.

Same issue here-- getting the numeral 2 instead of an access denied page (due to improperly removed login toboggan).

Administer » Site configuration » Error reporting
admin/settings/error-reporting

is where this can be changed to working paths.

Git the Agaric Way: using shell scripts to add and update projects

Update: Forget it. Complication outweighs benefits.

Note: Before you start doing any of this, you would need to copy Agaric's git directory structure-- note that this is not a single git repository, but many git repositories. More on that elsewhere, this is about using the system properly set up.

What finally works:

Navigate to the pseudo-repository's sites directory:
