Topic?
BTW I don't remember if we discussed anything at the cafe last month, but if there's anything specific you'd like to discuss I can do a bit of prep work for it, just let me know!
I can come out and play this time!
I'll bring questions and answers to the party. Thanks for keeping this going Damien!
Hopefully...
I am hoping to make it this evening, but it might be a long shot.
New Person
I will be there for the first time. Looking forward to meeting you. -Gretchen
Old Person
It's been a couple of months since I've made an appearance, but timing should allow it tonight!
Meeting notes
Thanks to everyone who attended!
Some notes from tonight's meetup:
We had two new attendees tonight: Gretchen and her son. \o/
Roger discussed a site he was continuing to work on for an old client that involved a way of paying for the requested service in person by check and his difficulties getting it to work the way he wanted. He also was having problems getting email notifications to work the way he wanted. A few of us offered suggestions for debugging the email problems - checking the site logs to see if the emails were sent, increasing the error reporting level in the machine's php.ini (error_reporting E_ALL) to verify all of the errors are being seen, etc.
The Maillog module can be useful for debugging email problems.
DrupalcampMA is on January 19th with a snow day on the 26th, hope to see everyone there!
Gretchen is manually upgrading the users from a D6 site to D7 (rather than upgrading the whole site); the passwords went from an MD5 hash string to a salted hash, it would be possible to reverse-engineer the passwords and re-encrypt it, but it's probably a lot more hassle than most would like to deal with. It was discussed instead to just send user an email saying they need to reset their password, or just trigger the password-reset action for all users.
We discussed D8 WYSIWYG saga, Aloha going aloha, ckeditor being the new D8 WYSIWYG editor.
I mentioned Modules Unraveled, a great collection of Drupal training videos; Gretchen
We discussed the great NodeSquirrel backup service for backing up Drupal sites.
We discussed the NewRelic service for site code monitoring & profiling.
I explained the Workbench module suite, a set of modules for building customizable content workflows.
Next month I'm going to give an intro to Panels (Beth: mostly a repeat of what I covered in erm October?).
Here is that cmd line arg that I mentioned
Here is that cmd line arg that I mentioned:
// remove users who's email address is in a csv file located in my home directory
cut -f1 ~/file-with-users.csv | while read cmd; do eval "echo 'drush user-cancel '$cmd;"; done;// create a user account whose email is in a csv file located in my home directory
cut -f1 ~/file-with-users.csv | while read cmd; do eval "echo 'drush user-create '$cmd;"; done;
