Importing or updating database

Request a copy of the database Once you receive it, save a copy for database locally in your drupal file system (local site folder).

1. Go to vagrant terminal (virtual machine) using following command

   $ vagrant ssh

2. Run following command to import database

   $ mysql -uroot -proot drupal < /drupal_file_system_path/your_database.sql

so in the case of 14th nov:

$ mysql -uroot -proot drupal < var/www/corporate/www/mariadb-init/corpdb081118.sql

Updating the database

First request a copy of the db from a backend dev on the team. copy the db into the directory for your local site in the mariadb-init folder then enter the directory for the vagrant and then vagrant up then vagrant ssh then drush sql-cli < /mariadb-init/dump-file.sql

MUST USE THIS COMMAND

but if I'm inside mariab-init then run drush sql-cli < dump-file.sql

and it should take a few minutes but will work 😃

(this was executed on weds 6th feb, for tkt #3724)

after updating changes in master (that needed to be reset etc)

run...

$ drush updatedb , or drush updb

$ drush fra -y (this is a feature revert)

$ drush cc all 

Creating a new admin account using one time log in

run this command inside the drupal vm :

$ drush uli

Drupal Theming

• overview of template.php

three steps to theming

• template files (.tpl.php) -replacing tpl.php.varaible
• theme functions overriding

inside the developers theme directory

MyTheme dir/ folder

• myTheme.info
• page.tpl.php
• template.php

template.php

contains pure php a place for extensive logic or sql queries

to provide a new variable in the file, you must create a new function and then prefix the name of the theme at the start. also need to add underscore so for example.

myTheme_preprocess(&$vars, $hooks) the name of the hook should be the same name as the tpl.php file which is...

theme functions are never called directly. So for example it is written as follows: -theme('username', $object)
