Watering hole

murrayw's picture

Its been getting a bit noisy at Bar Broadway of late. The live entertainment and UFC vids have become a bit intrusive :) I'll make the suggestion that this month we head 50m down Broadway to the Clare Hotel. It is a whole lot more conducive to geek speak - quieter, comfy lounges and a bit more hip. It seems to be a hang for UTS students. They do host music nights there from time to time but it has looked pretty chilled on a Thursday eve when I've passed by previously.

Anyone interested in some BOFs?

My interests: Front-end design, psychology of design, form follows function, human behaviour, user interfaces...

Form follows function would be good. I'm also interested in how to successfully get print designers to transition to modern web design practices.

Quick drupal

Hi people. Thanks for a tops evening.

Quick Drupal on OS X--I'm running Lion. To get drush qd drupal running on my Mac I needed php-cgi. Here is a tutorial
http://wayneeaker.com/blog/2012/04/05/setting-php-cgi-mac-os-x

I've used his linked binary as 5.3 had gone away and I am
whale:tmp rossetti$ php --version
PHP 5.3.8 with Suhosin-Patch (cli) (built: Nov 15 2011 15:33:15)
http://wayneeaker.com/sites/default/files/PHP538.dmg

Copy PHP5 somewhere
sudo cp -Rp /Volumes/PHP5\ Package/PHP5/ /usr/local/php5-aprelium

Soft link php-cgi into bin
sudo ln -s /usr/local/php5-aprelium/bin/php-cgi /usr/bin/php-cgi

Drush needs Console_Table (Drush 5) and httpserver (Drush qd) so let Drush add its libraries.
sudo chown ``whoami`` /usr/local/drush/lib/

Test (note: I had directory name problems--so chdir somewhere sensible first)
cd /tmp && drush --debug -y qd drupal-qd

Remember you can restart the server (after killing it)
cd /tmp/drupal-qd/drupal && drush rs

And then what I really wanted to do--quick drupal commerce kickstart
(First up the memory--the default 128MB won't cut it)
vi /etc/php.ini
memory_limit = 512M

drush --debug -y qd --core=commerce_kickstart --profile=commerce_kickstart --cache --site-name="Quick Commerce" drupal-qd-commerce commerce_kickstart-7.x-2.0-rc1

Perfect.
