download

This isn't a module, ... but it's close (like Drush isn't a module). There are a lot of tools like Drush, for quickly configuring new Drupal installations. Surely, there is a tool for combining a set of modules into one downloadable file.

Then, for windows users (where I find myself sometimes) I suppose an alternative would be to access one of my Linux servers... run a Drush + shell script that does the same thing, and then transfer the resulting file from there.

If someone put this capability together in a Web page, it might be pretty useful. I bet someone already has. Does anyone know?

Hey guys,

First I have to say that this project looks pretty awesome for minimizing setup time on new drupal hosts. I can't wait to give it a go. Question though, is there somewhere I can download the server images? I'm particularly interested in giving them a spin on both vmware and xen. I saw the roll-your-own guide for project mercury which will allow me to get started without a server image, is there something similar for Vulcan?

Thanks.

With over 500 camp attendees and 60+ session proposals, us organizers of Drupal Camp LA needed a Drupal site that was built for organizers and attendees, with lessons learned from 3+ DrupalCons & 2+ DrupalCamps. Here is our formula for our awesome camp site.

"DrupalCampLA.com was built on Drupal 6 using core & contributed modules to handle event registration, sponsorship management, featured speakers, user bio's, and session proposals. The website features an attendee driven event schedule where members propose sessions and only registered members pick which sessions they'd like to see (in the BarCamp style). Planning the schedule for the day of events has been made flexible enough to allow organizers to maintain a master schedule with ease. Not to mention that all attendees get their own schedule view with the sessions they pick."

"The web site was based on the latest Drupal 6.x release and utilized many of the current generation modules such as CCK for content customization, imagefield and imagecache to handle imaging Views & custom theming built on Zen for content presentation." (A full list of the modules used is in the case study - http://drupal.org/node/519100 )

The download link is available in the case study post - http://drupal.org/node/519100 and has been made available by LA Drupal & This By Them.

Hi guys,

My name is Phil and Im a newbie. I am currently working on a community of practice website that will be offered to primary school teachers as a place to discuss, share and forulate ideas on how best to teach children science in primary schools. I am developing resources for this site that teachers or parents can download to use within their classes such as lesson plans, lesson content and worksheets.

What is the Linux command to check the file integrity of
the Drupal download file: .tar.gz?

Download: drupal-6.10.tar.gz
Size: 1.03 MB
md5_file hash: d8f222c260556b5d7c3ff41bdd251b3c

Hello all. My apologies if this question belongs in a more entry-level group (let me know if you recommend one.)

The question: The site I'm building will need to have a strong ability to present files for download by users. The out-of-the-box drupal has the Uploads module, which allows us to place files onto the site. However, there is no functionality for the uploader to include metadata for the file like name, author, date, keywords, etc.

-- What is the most established/respected/good module that will allow uploads to have metadata?

When the Pear module installs, it fetches three files from cvs.php.net: PEAR.php, Archive/Tar.php, and Console/Getopt.php. The reason these files aren't included with the module is because they're licensed under the PHP License and we're not allowed to host stuff that's not licensed under the GPL in the Drupal CVS repositories. When it came time to implement this part of the installation process, I came to a fork in the road.

Traditionally, whenever I wanted to download files using PHP, I used fsockopen() and fopen(), sent the HTTP headers myself, and did the whole read into buffer then write routine. It's not a bad idea. In fact, the go-pear script does just that. However, I came across two other solutions.

With the current, stable ecommerce version, I'm putting together a site where free (price $0) file products can be downloaded without purchase. I've made it so that free file products are uploaded into an unprotected directory, and I've modified ec_file_may_download in file.module to allow these files to be downloaded with whatever permissions. This works perfectly for authenticated users, they can download these files easily, however anonymous users get redirected to a 404.

I'm running the stable version of eCommerce on Drupal 5.5 and I'm coming against some problems trying to configure it for file downloads. For example, when I try to purchase a file, it insists on asking for a shipping address. I can't seem to find the control panel to turn this off. Also, "quantity" is meaningless for file downloads, but I can't seem to figure out how to make it not ask you for that either. Are there built-in ways to handle these things? I can futz with the code myself, but I find it strange that the system wouldn't have some way to account for this kind of thing.
