Typical problem, you have just gained your full project permissions role in Drupal.org, and you make your first mess... you have promoted your so loved first project without changing the Short project name.

Well, you have a problem, but not too big. Drupal.org will not allow you to rename your Short project name, so you will have to create a new one if you don't want to have an ugly url like that: https://drupal.org/project/2062343

I always have the same problem when using select forms, and I always forget the solution.

Instead of returning an array, like: return $competitions; you have to return a drupal_map_assoc, like this: return drupal_map_assoc($competitions);

Otherwise, when selecting the form in hook_submit you will get a number, instead of a human readable string.

Reading a date in mysql can be frustrating, unless your brain is able to convert Dates from UNIXTIME formats. Let's see for example this scenario in Drupal:

SELECT * FROM `node` ORDER BY `node`.`created` DESC LIMIT 0 , 30

If you need to fetch, for example, when it was the last time that a node was created, this format doesn't help too much.

The solution is quite simple, FROM_UNIXTIME( field_with_date )

For example:

SELECT * , FROM_UNIXTIME( created ) FROM `node` ORDER BY `node`.`created` DESC LIMIT 0 , 30

Look mom, without hands...

First, change this in your .git/config:

old url:
 url = https://USER@bitbucket.org/hispamedios/PROJECT.git
new one:
url = ssh://USER.bitbucket.org/hispamedios/PROJECT.git

 

Edit your .ssh/config, in your local directory, and add this:

 cat .ssh/config
Host YOURUSER.bitbucket.org 
HostName bitbucket.org 
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/bitbucket

The last line is important, so you are indicating your identity file. Now create this file:

removing some folders from git, file .gitignore with these contents:

 

# Ignore paths that contain generated content.

cache/

files/

sites/*/files

sites/*/private

 

 

 

Using symbolic links for /files directory:

 

 

namespace:custom do

    task:symlink do

      run "ln -s /var/www/crucerista/sites/crucerista.net/files/ /var/www/crsta/current/sites/crucerista.net/"

      run "echo 'finished'"

    end

end

after "deploy","custom:symlink"
