Migrating Drupal from one folder (or one server) to another is not always as simple as just copying the files and database. All the file paths, configuration data, content, menus & structure are stored in the Drupal database. Hence, just a blind copy will break the new Drupal system.
Steps to migrate your drupal installation from on folder to another (or one server to another)
Thats it! Now all your menus, content etc should be imported correctly.
NOTE: Restoring will delete some or all of your data and cannot be undone. Always test your backups on a non-production server!
Drupal is a free and open source content management system (CMS) written in PHP.It is used as a back-end system for many different types of websites, ranging from small personal blogs to large corporate and political sites, including whitehouse.
The standard release of Drupal, known as Drupal core, contains basic features common to most CMSs. These include the ability to register and maintain individual user accounts within a flexible and rich permission / privilege system, create and manage menus, RSS-feeds, customize page layout, perform logging, and administer the system.
Drupal can run on any computing platform that supports both a web server capable of running PHP and a database (such as MySQL or PostgreSQL) to store content and settings.
Drupal core
Drupal core is the stock installation of Drupal, which can be optionally extended by third party contributions. In Drupal’s default configuration, website content can be contributed by either registered or anonymous users and made accessible to web visitors by a variety of selectable criteria including by date, category, searches, etc.
Found this great post to manage user session auto time-out via Drupal admin area.
http://old.nabble.com/I-am-intersted-in-the-TimeOut-module-tt2800133.html
It was exactly what I was looking for. Nothing fancy. Just specifying the idle session time out for each type of user role. Made a few code tweaks and customized it to work for Drupal 6.x. Simple and effect. Works great for my project and saved me a lot of time!
Please note that the session time out is in seconds!
I have attached the module with this post. Feel free to download and experiment. Let me know your findings too.
Open your Drupal project’s sites/all/modules/print/css folder, then open the print.css file, there you can change the format(text color, size, line spacing etc.) of the content.
Creating a theme for a form in Drupal 6 is slightly different from Drupal 5.
Steps on how to theme a form in Drupal 6:
NOTE: myform1_form and myform2_form are the form ids of the forms you want to theme
function mymodule_theme()
{
$themes = array(
'myform1_form' => array(
'arguments' => array('form'),
'function' => 'mytheme_myform1_form',
),
'myform2_form' => array(
'arguments' => array('form'),
'function' => 'mytheme_myform2_form',
),
);
return( $themes );
}
function mytheme_ myform1_form($form) { drupal_add_css(drupal_get_path('module', 'mymodule') .'/mymodule-form.css'); drupal_add_js(drupal_get_path('module', 'mymodule') .'/mymodule-form.js'); return theme_render_template(path_to_theme() . '/mytemplate.tpl.php', array('form' => $form)); }NOTE: It is important to pass the form parameter to the template file as array('form' => $form) instead of directly passing $formFor more information on theme_render_template() check this http://api.drupal.org/api/function/theme_render_template/6
<div class="onelinedd"> <div class="onedd"> <div class="labels"> <div>Form Field 1</div> <?php echo drupal_render($form['form_field_1']); ?> </div> </div> <div class="onedd"> <div class="labels"> <div>Form Field 2</div> <?php echo drupal_render($form['form_field_2']); ?> </div> </div> <div class="onedd"> <?php echo drupal_render($form['submit']); ?> </div> </div>
I am sure there must be an better way to do this but, after hours of searching and trying this is what worked for me!
