Insight customizations to Drupal

This page tracks customizations made to a Drupal-based test instance for Fedora Insight.

Administrator access
You'll need full access to Drupal uid 1 (the site administrator account) to complete some of these steps.

If you're finished already with these general customizations, there's another page about Insight content configuration.

General changes

1. Install the AuthFAS module. The source is found here.

   cd /etc/drupal6/all/modules/
   git clone git://fedorapeople.org/home/fedora/pfrields/public_git/drupal-authfas-6x.git authfas

2. Install the Insight theme. (This doesn't exist yet, but it will. When it does, fill out this step. --pfrields 19:33, 14 August 2010 (UTC))
3. Install the Flexifilter module.
4. Install the Footnotes module.

Site building

1. In the Modules configuration module, enable the following modules in the Core - Optional section:
   • Aggregator
   • Book
   • Color
   • Comment
   • Content translation
   • Database logging
   • Help
   • Menu
   • Search
   • Taxonomy
   • Trigger
   • Update status
2. Enable the Flexifilter module in the Flexifilter section.
3. Enable the following modules in the Other section:
   • AuthFAS
   • Footnotes

Site configuration

1. Ensure the Site information settings are properly configured.
2. Configure the AuthFAS module with the following settings. The settings below point the AuthFAS module to a FAS instance on publictest4, and requires that anyone logging in be a member of the cla_done FAS group. Furthermore, it sets up email for each new user at username@fedoraproject.org.

   Location of FAS instance:  publictest4.fedoraproject.org/accounts
   FAS group for authenticated users:  cla_done
   Email domain used for FAS users:  fedoraproject.org

3. Enable Clean URLs. If you cannot enable them, your site is misconfigured. Visit the /usr/share/drupal6/.htaccess file and ensure that you've changed it according to the How to install Drupal page.
4. In the Performance settings, enable Normal caching. This should not affect development work.

User management

1. In the User settings module, set Public registrations to Only site administrators can create new user accounts.
2. In the User settings module, disable signature and picture support.
3. In the FAS instance, create three new groups:
   • cmsadmin
   • cmseditor
   • cmswriter
   In the Drupal instance, create three new roles:
   • administrator
   • editor
   • writer
   Edit each role to hook it to the appropriate FAS group listed above. To grant users more access to help with Drupal, use the FAS system -- not the Drupal instance.
4. In the Permissions module, set the following permissions:
   
   

   Permission	anonymous user	authenticated user	administrator	editor	writer
