Upgrading a collection of drupal 6 modules to drupal 7

Starting the long upgrade of a collection of drupal 6 modules to drupal 7.

This seems like the definitive guide. Geez it's a long list.

# get the coder module:
drush @d7 dl coder --dev
drush @d7 dl grammar_parser
# next line maybe redundant (not sure)
drush @d7 dl grammar_parser_lib
drush @d7 en coder_review
drush @d7 en coder_upgrade
cd sites/all
mv modules/grammar_parser_lib libraries


tbc...

find . -name '*.*' -exec sed -i 's/db_escape_string/mysql_real_escape_string/g' "{}" \;


vim macro to upgrade permission function:


/function .*perm(^M;s/perm(/permission(/^Mj/array^Mf(vib;s/'[^']*'/& => array(\r      'title' => t(&),\r      'description' => t(&))/g

 simple test case

More VIM amazingness

So I probably missed this in the few tutorials I looked at on vim.

But... oh... my... god...

Passing vim contents to the shell (ie bash)


You can pass your current file to a tool (like bash, or mysql) like this:

w | ! . %
or
w | ! mysql %

Or you can do this to just pipe in the "lines 7 to 9" or the current line to bash:

7,9:w ! bash
.w ! bash

Or pipe in selected text to mysql:

'<,'>:w ! mysql

Misc


Paraphrasing those clever folk at stackoverflow you can capture and run macro:
Perform desired editing interactively with

    vim -w log.vim file1.txt

and then repeat it on other files:
 
    for f in file*.txt; do vim -s log.vim $f; done 
or alternatively:
    for f in file*.txt; do vim -c '1,55d|25,35s/^/\/\/ /|w! '"${f}_new"'|q!' $f 

this is also very cool:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/23517/how-to-execute-a-shell-command-in-vim-and-have-the-result-printed-below


These things in your .vimrc are gold:

 syntax on

inoremap <expr> <C-Space> pumvisible() \|\| &omnifunc == '' ?
\ "\<lt>C-n>" :
\ "\<lt>C-x>\<lt>C-o><c-r>=pumvisible() ?" .
\ "\"\\<lt>c-n>\\<lt>c-p>\\<lt>c-n>\" :" .
\ "\" \\<lt>bs>\\<lt>C-n>\"\<CR>"
imap <C-@> <C-Space>
autocmd FileType php set omnifunc=phpcomplete#CompletePHP


Clearing the highlighting from your last search can be useful:
 
:let @/ = ""

Opening and finding files

Obviously :Ex, :Tex: and :Vex are good, and to those you can look for patterns in the:

   */filepat   filenames in current directory
   **/filepat  filenames in current directory or below
   *//pattern  vimgrep in current directory
   **//pattern vimgrep in the current directory or below

Installing drush

So we've all established that Drush is the bee's knees for running drupal installations. Right?

So tonight I had to install it on a server where I have limited rights.

This was the process (based on perusing the README.txt):

# install drush
dv=7.x-5.8
ptd=~/bin/drushfiles/$dv
mkdir -p $ptd
tar -xf ~/drush-$dv.tar.gz -C $ptd
chmod u+x $ptd/drush/drush
ln -sf $ptd/drush/drush ~/bin/drush
ln -sf $ptd/drush/examples/example.bashrc ~/bin/drush.bashrc
# put drush.bashrc into .bashrc
if grep -Fq "drush.bashrc" .bashrc
then
 echo "you already have drush.bashrc in your .bashrc, so no action taken"
else
 echo "drush.bashrc added to you .bashrc"
 echo "source ~/bin/drush.bashrc" >> .bashrc
fi
# tidy up
rm
~/drush-$dv.tar.gz


The bit I like best is greping the .bashrc so I only add the require line once.

I also had to track down php-cli that drush was complaining about. So I just used locate then made a link:
locate php-cli
ln -sf /hsphere/shared/php53/bin/php-cli bin/php-cli

Vim scripting the hard way

You have to respect someone who writes a book titled this!

http://learnvimscriptthehardway.stevelosh.com/

There is this little pearl in the front page (I tend to loose my .vimrc!!!):

"To easily find the location and name of the file on any operating system, run :echo $MYVIMRC"

So I'll read on...
