| help[96] | does anybody know how to download and install new modules for drupal in ubuntu? | 06:28 |
|---|---|---|
| tonyyarusso | help[96]: Certainly. | 06:31 |
| tonyyarusso | The same way you do in any other distro - with wget and tar. | 06:31 |
| help[96] | hmm...okay, i'm new to ubuntu...so i usually use sudo apt-get | 06:34 |
| help[96] | but i don't think i can do that with modules | 06:34 |
| tonyyarusso | As you should, but the Drupal modules are not in the repositories. | 06:34 |
| tonyyarusso | Drupal itself is, but not its add-ons. | 06:35 |
| help[96] | yeah, so what's the process for wget and tar? | 06:35 |
| tonyyarusso | In your Drupal directory (/usr/share/drupalsomething), you'll see a sites/ directory. | 06:36 |
| tonyyarusso | In that either you'll have an all/ directory, or you can make one, with a modules/ subdirectory. | 06:36 |
| tonyyarusso | cd into that, the wget URLofthemodule, then tar zxf file.tar.gz | 06:37 |
| tonyyarusso | When you visit admin/build/modules, it will show up in the list. viola. | 06:37 |
| help[96] | hmm...so, in the sites/ directory, i just see a default/ directory | 06:40 |
| tonyyarusso | or that | 06:40 |
| help[96] | so...should i put the modules/ directory under the default/ directory? | 06:40 |
| tonyyarusso | help[96]: There are many, many ways of managing the sites/ tree. It would do you well to read the Drupal documentation about that. | 06:40 |
| tonyyarusso | You can start by using default/, but you probably don't want to keep doing that. | 06:41 |
| help[96] | okay...i'll check out the documentation a bit, too | 06:42 |
| help[96] | i think i was getting ahead of myself | 06:42 |
| help[96] | hey! it popped up! thanks so much! | 06:44 |
| andrew_708476 | Is anyone any good with Ubuntu that doesn't mind helping because I have a few problems | 21:16 |
| tonyyarusso | !ask | andrew_708476 | 21:27 |
| lubotu1 | andrew_708476: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 21:27 |
| tonyyarusso | It's hard for us to know if we're "good" with your problem until we know what it is. ;) | 21:27 |
| tonyyarusso | I guess we fail at telepathy :( | 22:04 |
