Drush makefile - installing dev versions of module
Normally in a drush make file modules to be installed are referenced by their module name e.g.
This will installed the recommended release of cck. If you want the development release, which is more recent, change the makefile entry to:
You can find the specific version of a module you are using by looking at its .info file.
Note that in your info file the version will appear with the Drupal version in front of it , like so:
Just remove the "6.x-" part in front when building your makefile.
projects[]=cck
This will installed the recommended release of cck. If you want the development release, which is more recent, change the makefile entry to:
projects[cck][version]=2.x-dev
You can find the specific version of a module you are using by looking at its .info file.
Note that in your info file the version will appear with the Drupal version in front of it , like so:
version = "6.x-2.x-dev"

Installing Drush Make
Drush Make is a very cool drush extension that allows you to automate the installation of a Drupal instance , including the downloading of modules, jquery libraries and lots more , all of which can be defined in a "make" file.
In order to get this running i placed the drush_make folder from the tar ball in my
.drush folder under my home directory - the full path being .drush/drush_make
Obviously your mileage may vary , but this worked for me.
Place your makefile in an empty site folder and just type
drush make mynewsite.make

Drush - installing jQuery UI
from your drupal root:
cd sites/all/
mkdir libraries
cd libraries
wget http://jquery-ui.googlecode.com/files/jquery.ui-1.6.zip
unzip jquery.ui-1.6.zip
mv jquery_ui
cd ../../../../
drush en jquery_ui
cd sites/all/
mkdir libraries
cd libraries
wget http://jquery-ui.googlecode.com/files/jquery.ui-1.6.zip
unzip jquery.ui-1.6.zip
mv jquery_ui
cd ../../../../
drush en jquery_ui
Drush - find module names quickly
If I have a lot of modules , scrolling through the output of drush sm isn't very productive.
If you are looking for say the "Node Reference" module you can quickly find it's drush sm output by typing:
drush sm | grep "Node Reference"
output:
CCK Node Reference (nodereference) Module Not installed 6.x-2.x-dev
It's name is "nodereference" , so to enable it just do
drush en nodereference
If you are looking for say the "Node Reference" module you can quickly find it's drush sm output by typing:
drush sm | grep "Node Reference"
output:
CCK Node Reference (nodereference) Module Not installed 6.x-2.x-dev
It's name is "nodereference" , so to enable it just do
drush en nodereference
Drush - enabling modules with a space in their name
Problem: Within CCK there is a module called "Content Copy".
drush en "content copy" returns an error. How do I install a module with a space in it's name?
Answer: Use drush sm to list the available modules in your drupal instance.
In the "Name" column of the output generated you will see
Content Copy (content_copy)
in the CCK section.
Therefore the drush command is:
drush en content_copy
drush en "content copy" returns an error. How do I install a module with a space in it's name?
Answer: Use drush sm to list the available modules in your drupal instance.
In the "Name" column of the output generated you will see
Content Copy (content_copy)
in the CCK section.
Therefore the drush command is:
drush en content_copy
Drush - installing CCK
Problem: drush en cck will installed the approved cck release, but not the dev version. How do I install the dev version?
Answer: drush en cck-6.x-2.x-dev
This will install the latest dev version. But when it comes to enabling CCK the syntax is somewhat different - remember that "cck" is not a module , its a package of modules, with the core of it being the "content" module.
Therefore to enable CCK , the drush command is
drush en content
Answer: drush en cck-6.x-2.x-dev
This will install the latest dev version. But when it comes to enabling CCK the syntax is somewhat different - remember that "cck" is not a module , its a package of modules, with the core of it being the "content" module.
Therefore to enable CCK , the drush command is
drush en content
