Drush Make: Avoid the Unexpected
There are two things that are no secret and which form the basis for this post: Using the development versions of Drupal modules is sometimes the best choice. Using development versions as the project[module_name][version] parameter in a Drush Make file is always a bad choice. How can we reconcile these two seemingly irreconcilable truths? The [...]
Toolbox page launched
You may have noticed there’s a new tab on the site: Toolbox. This is a simple list of various tools I use in my day-to-day work and in running the business. There’s no need to keep the fact that I use them secret, so I thought I’d start maintaining a page of said tools. It will [...]

UPDATED: Weird fix for CCK fields not appearing with Display Suite (Drupal 6)
Update: Oops, this wasn’t the problem at all. It was actually with the Content Permissions module. Forgot the site was using it! Pretty embarrassing I just went through quite a struggle getting my CCK fields to appear on my Display Suite-managed node. I finally succeeded, though, in the end, and thought I would share the [...]

Last-ditch Solution to Non-Working PHP-FPM + Apache Configuration
I had a surreal experience yesterday. I was following online tutorials about setting up Apache + PHP-FPM (for example, this ServerFault question: http://serverfault.com/questions/326919/how-to-set-the-httpd-conf-when-using-php-fpm-with-php5-3-8-and-apache2). I’ll let you read that rather than re-hash it. My goal here is only to share quickly how I actually got this working. Alright, so you know the part where it says [...]
Multi-conference report coming
I’ve been to several camps this summer and early fall, but I haven’t really written anything about them since I mentioned sponsoring DrupalCamp LA 2011. I’ve decided that I’ll probably never document them individually but that a combined blog post would be reasonable. I’ll write this soon, probably next week (once things calm down a [...]

Linux tip – regular expression find and replace in all files in a directory
As you may have seen me tweet, I’ve been looking for a way to do this. I didn’t want to manually change my Apache configuration to reflect my new internal IP address. After some Internet searching, I stumbled across this gem: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/find-and-replace-text-in-multiple-file-203801/#post1742045 find . -name '[^.]*' | xargs perl -pi -e 's/192\.168\.1\.3/192\.168\.0\.3/g' I adapted it [...]

Cloning Content Types in D7 – Errata
Update: You may also want to check out the Bundle Copy module. I haven’t tried it yet, so let me know in the comments if it works! Recently, I read the Stanford Tech Commons article on Cloning a Content Type in D7 at https://techcommons.stanford.edu/topics/drupal-7x/cloning-content-type-d7. It proposes a simple but (mostly) effective way to wind up [...]
How-to: Create Drupal development sites in Quickstart
Yesterday, I felt like reviewing some patches, so I fired up my Quickstart-based virtual machine and set about creating some Drupal development sites. I realized I first had to create Drush Make files to get the proper development versions installed. So I did that. However, I also realized that, despite cloning the code via Git [...]

Feeds CSV Importer Sources: Caveat Amplificator
I had an interesting experience with Feeds and Feeds Tamper today. I wasn’t able to get a comma-separated set of words to turn into multiple tags no matter what I tried. I was using the Explode plugin that comes with Feeds Tamper and set the delimiter as a comma and the limit to 1. My [...]
