DDBpro - Das Portal für Datenpartner der Deutschen Digitalen Bibliothek

This is a Composer project for DDBpro.

Migrate existing DDBpro

1. Database

The connection (to an existing) database can be configured in web/sites/default/settings.php. Add something like:

$databases['default']['default'] = array(
  'driver' => 'mysql',
  'database' => 'ddbpro',
  'username' => 'ddbpro',
  'password' => 'ddbpro',
  'host' => '127.0.0.1',
  'prefix' => '',
  'collation' => 'utf8_general_ci',
);

A possible proxy configuration can also be configured here.

2. Build Project

> composer install

3. Rebuild Registry

The pathes to all Drupal modules (might) have been changed and Drupal won't run correctly. To fix that, it's necessary to rebuild the registry. Therefor the module Registry Rebuild is already installed. Run:

> cd web/sites/all/modules/contrib/registry_rebuild
> php registry_rebuild.php

Rebuilding the registry is only necessary once, while migrating an existing DDBpro instance to DDBpro Composer. The Registry Rebuild module can be removed afterwards (composer remove drupal/registry_rebuild).

4. Clear Cache and Run Database Updates

Run:

> vendor/drush/drush/drush cc all

...and...

> vendor/drush/drush/drush updatedb

5. Files

DDBpro specific files are stored in the directory download/ with its subdirectories private/ and public/. The folder download/ should be located in web/ within the DDBpro Composer project.

6. Done

Yeah! :-)

Build-in webserver

For testing and developing purposes Drush does provide a webserver. Run:

> vendor/drush/drush/drush rs

Website is available: http://127.0.0.1:8888/

Core & Module Updates

Drupal's core, all modules and all necessary libraries are managed by Composer.

• Install new module? Do it with Composer.
• Update existing modules? Do it with Composer.
• Does a module need a specific PHP library? Composer. ;-)

Get a list of update-able packages.

> composer update --dry-run

Update all packages (be careful!):

> composer update

Update specific package:

> composer update drupal/drupal

Module Installation

To install a new module to Drupal use:

> composer require drupal/faq

To remove an existing module (be sure it's disabled in Drupal before!):

> composer remove drupal/faq
