drupal

If you're looking for a Drupal module that makes image galleries easy for your clients, use Node Gallery. Don't question. Just use it. Makes galleries so much easier, especially when using it with the plupload integration module.

Drupal's forums are just miserable.  Well, they might be nice if we were still in 1996, but we're not.  We're using a small forum for our FreeFarmGame.net co-op and a couple of months of Drupal's forums (even with Advanced Forum and OG) were enough to make me want to dump the whole thing. 

This is another one of those things I always forget and need to trace down docs to remember: setting up a MySQL user for Drupal from the CLI.

mysqladmin -u [username] -p create [databasename]

mysql -u [username] -p [databasename]

GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, ALTER, INDEX, 
DROP, CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES, LOCK TABLES
ON databasename.* 
TO 'newusername'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
