I'm hanging out at Drupal Camp in Toronto this week -- listening to other TO-based drupalers talk about what they've done. Here are some notes:
Unit Testing with/for Drupal [development] - Simple Test module
http://2008.drupalcamptoronto.org/content/automated-testing-with-simpletest
- challenge of unit testing in drupal since many functions change the state of the data / database; so testing on a known data set is critical
- simpletest admin page lists defined test by module / function.
Theming fundamentals
http://2008.drupalcamptoronto.org/content/theming-fundamentals
- useful tools
-
- Mozilla add-ins - firebug (for css), live http headers (for php)
- Modules: - contemplate (for CCK content types)
Moving in: how to port your content from * to Drupal
http://2008.drupalcamptoronto.org/content/moving-how-port-your-content-drupal
see slides on slideshare -- emmajane
- import modules: http://drupal.org/project/Modules/category/64
html_import, node_import, user_import
- html_import: will load everything within <body> tags of pages and import it. [might be helpful but does it keep urls?]
- node_import: loads csv files. helpful with CCK [this is the way we moved BoW nominations]
- by hand: node and node_revisions tables; use sequences table to set the next nid by type [drupal5]
- xml importer @ driftlogic.net
