For whom?

• Who wants to implement actual updating rapidly

• Who doesn’t like to do the same actions again and again

• Who chooses Linux hosting

• Who likes shell (drupal+shell=drush)

• And it is comfortable for local developing…

Basic Commands

• Drush <host> status

• Drush dl <project_1> < project_2> < project_3>

• the same drush en/dis/pm-uninstall

• Drush cc [all|menu|css-js…]

• Drush help <some_command>

• etc

Coworking Drush and Linux

• For example:

• drush pm-list | grep omega

• drush dl omega_tools && drush en omega_tools –y

• drush dis pathauto && drush pm-uninstall pathauto && drush pmi | grep pathauto

New Modules - new Commands

• For example:

• drush omega-subtheme --machine_name=zabej_theme "ZABEJ" && drush en zabej_theme -y && drush pm-list | grep zabej

Install Drupal

1. Prepare database (mysql>create database <DB_name>;)

2. Use one drush command site-install (or alias si)

3. drush si standard --db-url=mysql://<DB_user>:<passwd>@<DB_host>/<DB_name> --db-su=<admin> -db-su-pw=<some_password> --site-name=‘Dev Site!’

Recover user’s password

or how to crack Drupal

•Use

•drush uli -l http://<somehost>

•drush upwd <user> --password=<password>

Minor Drupal Updating

7.10 to 7.14

•!Backup! Project DataBase and Files

•Move from project all custom files/folders

•Switch on update module

•drush upc / up -y

•Wait for some moments=)

•That’s all

•It takes you about 5 minutes

•Use the same command for contrib modules UPD

Major updating… face with

• Contributed module developing (for example: /project/photos – last update - 2009-Dec-30)

• But need to migrate about 150 albums and 6000 photos

• If you hardcode contributed modules still

• Need rewrite custom themes

Drush Updating

• /usr/local/share/drush

• cd /usr/local/share/

• drush dl drush --destination=.

• and use drush cc drush (clear drush cache)

qd command

• Without VH, DB… ready Drupal profile

• Sqlite issue

• Proxy settings

• Why to do it?

Alias…

• $options['shell-aliases']['dis-all'] = '!drush -y dis $(drush pml --status=enabled --type=module --no-core --pipe)';

• $options['shell-aliases']['wipe'] = 'cache-clear all';

…Alias

• $aliases['dev'] = array('root' => '/path/to/drupal', 'uri' => 'dev.mydrupalsite.com', );

• $ drush @dev status

• $ drush --root=/path/to/drupal --uri=dev.mydrupalsite.com status

Git + cron + drush

• GitHub.com – central repo

• Use script files (*.sh)

• Use git command (for example: git pull) there

• Use drush command there

• And cron schedule

• There will be pics

Drush in win

• Windows installer from 5.x version

• To install with online connection

• Additional mysql software tuning (for example drush sql-dump)

Drush Hardships

• To begin using. For window and mouse fun it may be psychologic issue

• Share hosting doesn’t play in the game

• More flexible and usable in Linux platform

• At the beginnig you need to learn list of popular commands. U can print it and stick to wall.
