Matt V. mentioned that you all had to borrow a projector from Four Kitchens last time, so I'll bring my pimp little 1080i projector and we can get down to bidness.

I have been doing alot of clean up on the Full Node Version Module that I have mention on this group before, and I think it will be presentable by the 25.

A newbie question: Is it customary to bring your laptop or anything else (like cookies to make a good first impression)?

:)


Cookies in a Library?

Anna, I'm a newbie, too, but I doubt we can bring cookies into the library. I am bringing my laptop.

See you there!

The Drupal CVS cheat sheet I mentioned is available here: http://drupal.org/node/203430#comment-699034

Below are the rough notes I use for installing Drupal, Drush, and Drush Module Manager using CVS. If anyone has corrections or suggestions for improvement, I'd love to hear them.

install Drupal:

cvs -z9 -d:pserver:anonymous:anonymous@cvs.drupal.org:/cvs/drupal checkout -r DRUPAL-6-10 drupal
OR
cvs -z9 -d:pserver:anonymous:anonymous@cvs.drupal.org:/cvs/drupal co -r DRUPAL-5-7 drupal

change name of "drupal" directory to "[project name]"

mv drupal myproject

copy default.settings.php to settings.php

cd sites/defaults/
cp default.settings.php settings.php

create database user & password

in a browser window, enter database settings

if Drupal will not be at the root of the domain, change RewriteBase line in .htaccess file

create /sites/all/modules directory

mkdir ./<SITENAME>/sites/all/modules

install Drush module (for Drupal 5, add update_status):

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous:anonymous@cvs.drupal.org:/cvs/drupal-contrib checkout -d drush -r DRUPAL-6--1-2 contributions/modules/drush

enable Drush module on modules page

install Drush Module Manager module:

drush pm install drush_mm

enable Drush Module Manager module on modules page

install & enable contributed modules:

./drush.php pm install admin_menu advanced_help backup_migrate cvs_deploy google_analytics pathauto poormanscron token views
./drush.php mm enable admin_menu advanced_help backup_migrate cvs_deploy googleanalytics pathauto poormanscron token views

for development sites, install the following additional modules:

./drush.php pm install coder coder_tough_love demo devel drupalforfirebug module_builder simpletest schema
