Im trying for the first time to use Bitbucket togheter with SourceTree when building a WordPress site. Where working in a group of six people so I would really like to use the power of these services.
Right now im following this guide when trying to accomplish this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gx_XfziaHvo
I've also looked at several other guides and all of them say that i should base my WordPress site on markjaquith's WordPress-Skeleton base.
https://github.com/markjaquith/WordPress-Skeleton
The problem I've encountered is that when i start my Respository on BitBucket it does not import the folder "wp". Everything else is included but the folder "wp". Therefore I can't install WordPress. It's missing a massive amount of vital files.
After searching the internet and stackoverflow i can't seem to find a solution or any one else with the same problem! What am I doing wrong?
I've also tried importing the WordPress-Skeleton git directly in SourceTree but no luck there either.
... you'll have to add the wp folder to track it.
Use this: git add --all
$ git add --all
Next, use: git status (and you should see the wp folder and all new changes are added and being tracked)
$ git status
This is a silly question, but did you check your .gitignore file?

I'm currently trying to use VVV to develop and test my plugins. My host OS is Win10.
My plugins are in D:\Workshop\projects\vendor\module. I've used this folder structure for a long time, and it is really convenient, especially for use with Composer and friends.
Now I've installed VVV, created a site with VV. I want to test a plugin, the source code of which is in D:\Workshop\projects\XedinUnknown\my-project. So, I create a symlink in D:\Workshop\projects\XedinUnknown\vvv-local\www\my-test-site\htdocs\wp-content\plugins that points to that project's folder. Alas, it doesn't work. If I SSH into VVV and ls /srv/www/my-test-site/htdocs/wp-content/plugins, I can see my-project there, but it points to ../../../../../../../XedinUnknown/my-project, which, of course, doesn't exist. If instead of symlink I create a junction, it's just an empty file.
I suspect that this has to do with how the Linux environment handles Windows symlinks, but I'm not entirely sure. Is it possible to make this work somehow? I really don't wanna copy the whole project folder into VVV.
This is also addressed here.
So, it would seem like I've found somewhat of a solution. I added a synched folder, which maps to my projects home. I then create a symlink to that folder from the WP plugins directory, inside the VM.
Step 1 - Add Shared Folder
This should be done in a Customfile as explained here. This file should go into the same directory as the Vagrantfile, e.g. it will become the Vagrantfile's sibling. In my case, if you're following along from my question, it is in D:\Workshop\projects\XedinUnknown\vvv-local. Anything put here becomes global for the whole of VVV. This also gives you the ability to use different combinations of your projects in different websites. Add these contents to your Customfile, creating it if it does not exist.
config.vm.synced_folder "D:/Workshop/projects", "/srv/projects", :owner => "www-data", :mount_options => [ "dmode=775", "fmode=774" ]
Of course, you should replace D:/Workshop/projects with the path to where you store your projects. Note the forward slashes (/). This works on Win/Nix. For a Windows-only configuration, I suspect you'd have to replace them with \\, because this is an escape sequence.
Step 2 - Add Link to Project
This should be done in your site's vvv-init.sh file. In my case, this file was in D:\Workshop\projects\XedinUnknown\vvv-local\www\my-test-site\, because I want to create this symlink specifically for the my-test-site site. Please note that your VVV path will probably be different, and it doesn't have to be inside the projects directory. It's wherever you cloned VVV into. Add the below lines to your site's vvv-init.sh file.
if [ ! -f "htdocs/wp-content/plugins/my-project" ]; then
echo 'Creating symlink to plugin project...'
cd ./htdocs/wp-content/plugins
ln -s /srv/projects/XedinUnknown/my-project my-project
cd -
fi
In the above snippet, change the path to your desired project path, keeping in mind that /srv/projects/ now maps live to the projects root in your host OS. You can also replace the second occurrence (last word) of my-project in ln -s /srv/projects/XedinUnknown/my-project my-project with whatever you want. As long as you don't change it later, your plugin should not suddenly get de-activated.
Also, from what I understood, vvv-init.sh runs during provisioning, not every time the machine is brought up. So, if you want to run the code in there, you have to run vagrant up --provision from the VVV directory. If you don't want to provision, you can run it manually. SSH into VVV with vagrant ssh, then cd /srv/www/my-test-site (replace my-test-site with name of your site), and run . vvv-init.sh.
Afterword
I am quite new to Bash scripting, and I don't know if my solution is the best one, so please feel free to suggest better versions of the Bash script. I also don't know Ruby, and am new to Vagrant, so please feel free to suggest improvements to the Customfile - this is in essence the same as the Vagrantfile.
One possible issue that I can anticipate with this solution (and this is inherently by design of the filesystem architecture) is that if WordPress decides to make changes to your plugin, e.g. if you run a WP update, it will effectively delete all files in your project, including the repository. So, on the testing site I would recommend using something like this. I am in no way associated with this plugin.
I've installed Swipestripe module. and added swipestripe-gallery module for product images.
when I did dev/bulid?flush=1 it shows error Class 'Gallery_PageExtension' does not exists
I have seen gallery.yml file in swipestripe-gallery/_config folder, which has
Product:
extensions:
- 'Gallery_PageExtension'
but this class is not there in Product.php file in swipestripe-gallery/code folder.
After commenting above code I did dev/build?flush=1 & there was no error. But in product page the Gallery tab is not added.
Please Help.
You didn't install using composer? Your fault ;) It installs all requirements for you and you can code happy.
See https://github.com/swipestripe/silverstripe-swipestripe-gallery#requirements, you'll need to install https://github.com/frankmullenger/silverstripe-gallery for getting this gallery extension in your codebase.
I strongly encourage you to install ALL modules with composer. It may be a bit hard in the beginning, but in some days your life will be much more comfortable! A good introduction can be found in the ss docs.
Swipestripe's config does not have that code: https://github.com/swipestripe/silverstripe-swipestripe/blob/2.1/_config/swipestripe.yaml
The gallery module for it does: https://github.com/swipestripe/silverstripe-swipestripe-gallery/blob/1.1/_config/gallery.yml
These are two separate modules. If the gallery file is in swipestripe/_config as you say, then it would seem to me that the install didn't happen as it should.
There should be two folders in your installation root
swipestripe/
swipestripe-gallery/
All files relating to each module should be in each (individual) folder. It seems you're missing the swipestripe-gallery folder all together, meaning that the class in fact does not exist (When you get this error, just check that the class exists somewhere in your install. Using grep is the easiest way).
I've been making a Wordpress theme and using git to save progress. My whole Wordpress site is in the git project, and I would like to remove everything except the theme folder so I can easily transplant it on other Wordpress sites.
I know one way is to just delete everything and move the theme to the root folder and commit. But checking out after that will be more complicated, right? So is there another way?
Thanks.
If you are interested in keeping the full history of your Theme folder, you can use git filter-branch and remove everything else.
See "Extract part of a git repository?" ,to be done in a clone of your current repo:
git filter-branch --subdirectory-filter Project/SubProject-0 --prune-empty -- --all
I am working on webpage, and I need version tracking, so I'm uploading it to github.
Here is the underlying set up.
https://developers.google.com/appengine/articles/wordpress
Now that I have the base CMS ready to go, I need to get the base code uploaded before I start making changes.
lloydm#lloydm-E6320:~/Downloads/rtt/rtt-code$ pwd
/home/lloydm/Downloads/rtt/rtt-code
lloydm#lloydm-E6320:~/Downloads/rtt/rtt-code$ git status
# On branch master
# Untracked files:
# (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
#
# wordpress/
nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)
lloydm#lloydm-E6320:~/Downloads/rtt/rtt-code$ ls
app.yaml cron.yaml php.ini wordpress
lloydm#lloydm-E6320:~/Downloads/rtt/rtt-code$ git add .
fatal: Not a git repository: wordpress/wp-content/plugins/../.git/modules/appengine-wordpress-plugin
I've never used github before, so I was just following the github website stuff. I have zero idea what this error means or how to prevent it. I can't find anything that I think is related to it.
You need to set up your git repo correctly.
I think you followed this section "Installing WordPress on your development environment" from the link you provided https://developers.google.com/appengine/articles/wordpress
So what you did was download WordPress into your folder which you set up to be a .git repository. However, the WordPress project builder you downloaded itself contains a .git repository.
Check if you have a /workpress/.git file. It likely contains something like :
gitdir: ../.git/modules/wordpress
If you do, then that explains the error I think.
As for setting it up correctly, there are many tutorials available.
One way is to use Git for theme deployment, rather than having it manage your entire WordPress installation --> http://culttt.com/2013/04/08/how-to-deploy-wordpress-themes-with-git/
Another way is to add wordpress as a submodule http://www.efeqdev.com/website-development/this-is-how-we-version-control-and-deploy-our-wordpress-websites-with-git/
or Just make a ~/Downloads/rtt/rtt-code/wordpress/myWebpage directory and set up a git repo in it. http://www.whistlenet.com/git-for-wordpress/
I think you just need to go into the wordpress folder and then run the git status command. As the directory(rtt-code) is not a git directory but contains within it the git repo, that is wordpress, you are getting this error.
Inside the wordpress folder, all your git commands would work perfectly well...
I have a "multi-site" installation of Drupal 7, which means that I have these folders in my "sites" folder:
all
domain.one
domain.two
domain.x
And in each of these folders, I also have "modules" and "themes" folders.
If I click the "install new module" link on the modules page ("admin/modules") from any domain X, Drupal tries to download modules in the "all/modules" folder instead of the "X/modules" folder.
Maybe I am not using the proper phrase to search in Google, but I do not see similar problems, so it may just be my problem.
How to install site-specific modules in a Drupal 7 multi-site?
You can try the example detailed out in this post: http://www.pixelclever.com/how-set-up-drush-for-multisite-installation which basically requires you to create a drushrc.php file for each multisite, which includes the path to the respective modules folder.
Here are the lines from that post that explain
To start, go to your drush folder where you will find a file entitled example.drushrc.php. Copy that file into the individual site folder in your Drupal multisite installation (sites/yourmultisite), and rename the file to drushrc.php.
Now open that file and add the following line:
$command_specific['dl']['destination'] = 'sites/yourmultisite/modules';
or
$command_specific['dl']['destination'] = 'sites/yourmultisite/modules/contributions';
This is also a step by step walkthrough of the updating process using drush on multisites.
http://rinen.net/2013/02/updating-a-drupal-multisite-using-drush/
I found good article for multisite install here,
http://mydons.com/drupal-7-multisite-install-steps-in-linux/
http://mydons.com/drupal-7-multisite-install-steps-in-windows/
This worked for me:
Changed working directory on terminal to specific site directory
i.e. "cd [drupal_site_directory]/sites/[site_one]/ "
use usual drush command to install modules i.e. "drush dl [module_name]"
Hope this might help you guys also.
