Tasks done
- Combine Planet Laptop and Planet Sugar into one feed using Yahoo Pipes. (pipe published here)
- Footer link to Dashboard in Drupal
- Copy over database + files to
www-staging.l.ofromone.l.o
Notes
- Drupal is currently a point release behind (6.19 vs 6.20), are we handling upgrades or is GT?
- Some other plugins, notably Google Analytics, are currently marked "not supported", and several others have updates available
- Attempts to migrate
onedatabase towww-stagingresulted in a variety of odd failures:- Not all tables were migrated when restoring from webif via backup created from webif on
one, but restoringwww-stagingwas without problems. - Attempts to use
mysqlimportresulted in Access Denied errors (for the specific tables, not in general)
- Eventually solved via command
mysql -u drupal -p drupal < drupal-one.sql.
- Not all tables were migrated when restoring from webif via backup created from webif on
- Attempts to replicate the database on my local system resulted in a system that was similar to, but not identical, to the main Drupal site. Namely, I couldn't get the admin webif working.
Currently working on
Future tasks
- Investigate the means by which we could import feeds a la planet.
- We'll want to have a subset of Planet syndicated, subject to manual approval [medium, 3hr]
- Determine a migration path for URLs on the old blog.laptop.org instance to Drupal
- Current URL schemes are incompatible.
- Figure out if we want to keep Wordpress for blog.l.o, and somehow integrate it with Drupal. This eliminates the above URL issue, but add new ones, namely:
- Unify visual style. b.l.o looks decidedly un-one.l.o-like.
- Single-user-login between Drupal and Wordpress.
- Duplicate database for www-staging if it turns out to be needed, double check this.
- Follow up on mailman migration with Ed et al. (talk with SJ/Adam re formulating specific rationale for upgrade)
