We are looking to run one website using two CMS systems, so for all the content related stuff it would be drupal, and then for all the ecommerce related stuff, we are looking to use Magento.
Do you think this is possible? What are the general thoughts on this as an idea?
Usually we would have the ecommerce on a subfolder, like /store/productname... however, the client has specifically asked that we don't have it on a subfolder, hence asking for opinions on here.
Edit: For the sake of anyone thinking this is not programming related, I am wondering if there is something that you could achieve with the .htaccess file (rewrites etc).
I don't think this is really possible, both Drupal and Magento rewrite all incoming requests for non-existing files to index.php in the root.
I guess you could change one of the CMSs root files to index2.php and try to route requests for that CMS to the correct index file. However this means you will need to maintain a list of all paths that can be accessed by that particular CMS in the .htaccess file itself, which would be a real pain.

I'm using a multisite setup in Drupal 7. I'm wondering if it's possible to limit where a site can look for which modules to use. For example, there are a lot of modules I'd like to be able to use across all sites (../sites/all/modules/). But I would like Site A to have access to modules/custom/siteA, but not modules/custom/siteB.
Is this possible or do I have to share all modules across all sites?
You're thinking of it the wrong way; going depth first instead of breadth first. This is one of the "benefits" to going multisite.
In Drupal 7, you should be able to put any modules you want only to appear to a specific site into it's sites/site-name/modules/ directory; site-name being whatever directory you mapped the sites/sites.php file to go to for the given URL. I think you should already have a settings.php file in your sites/site-name directory. Just add the modules folder and dump them in. I'm not really sure how to handle it further, or how to install site-specific modules from the site GUI (if that's possible.)
I only put benefits in quotes because I've never been a fan of going multisite, but plenty of people have been more than happy to and it's worked out great for them.
this is quite easy. Suppose there are two sites you have created with multisite installation.
Site A (root site)
Site B
The modules that are common will be placed in sites/all/modules directory. But you can define some modules to appear in the site B only by placing the same in
sites/SiteB/modules.
I hope, it is making sense for you. Otherwise feel free to ask your queries.
All the Best!!
I'm trying to convert the theme from Drupal to Wordpress, I don't know a lot about drupal, so this function "drupal_get_private_key" confuses me a little and I can't really find a lot of documentation about it. Could someone explain me what is this function about and how could I do this in Wordpress?
Thank you for the help
Drupal uses this to generate the paths to files* (its used in other stuff too, but in themming I believe its the main reason).
*These files are the files created by users, not the files in the theme folder. The folders are configured in the admin and, when an user uploads a news picture, for example, it will be placed in the configured folder.
You problably just want to find another way to find these paths.
Hi the website of a friend was hacked.
Many files have gotten code injections. His programmer deleted all these.
Now the situation is, that the site (wordpress with shop plugin) is still running realy slow sometimes. Sometimes it goes fast.
Now after searching the web for: "troubleshooting code injections", "find code injections" and stuff like that, I have no idea to troubleshoot the problem, because his programmer has no local backup and changed all files so I cant look for recently changed files at all.
What would be the way of choice to get the problem?
Possible Solution or Suggestions:
Use these very famous virus scanning and detecting website
By using above site you will come to know if virus still exist or not.
Suggestions:
As you said you are using wordpress so it will be very easy to detect virus.how?
Use following security plugins for scanning core files.
All In One WP Security & Firewall
wordfence
Lastly
To hacker's or malware lives in follow important files of wordpress
Check all theme files specially
header.php
footer.php
index.php ( mostly infected )
also do a upgrade of wordpress so it will make sure that core files are not modified.
thanks
hope it helps
I am developing a site based on Drupal CMS and it has awesome image managing tools but there is a problem: While the images are being nicely resides rotated or else their paths become a bit weird for a common user.
It just so happens that users will see a lot of my images urls and I want them to look short, nice, and pretty. Since there is powerful module called Pathauto for Drupal users I just thought that changing masking files original url could be as simple as nodes.
Could it be that easy? If so, how? Maybe there is more than one way to do it? Could some non-Drupal way do the job?
You could try editing the htaccess file. It seems someone else has had that same thought... Drupal alias your file paths using htaccess
Have a client who wants to move their Wordpress.com blog over to their main domain that has a Drupal installation. If I add Wordpress to a "/blog/" directory on the server, will there be any conflicts with the htaccess ie Mod Rewrites etc?
Thanks.
If you place the WordPress files within the /blog/ directory then no, there certainly shouldn't be any htaccess conflicts.
Update :
What berkes suggests below (ie putting WordPress and Drupal in their own separate folders side by side) would be an ideal solution if you were starting from scratch.
However, it would change the URLs of all existing content, which you probably don't want.
One thing you could do is install them side by side and then use mod-rewrite to make example.com/blog go to the wordpress directory and anything else go to the drupal directory.
This way all existing content would stay at the existing URLs even though the drupal instalation had moved.
Note that even this solution would prevent anything which Drupal tried using the /blog path for from being visible, instead redirecting to WordPress.
It will be impossible to install Drupal and Worpress in one directory. Not only because of .htaccess issues, but also because of (potentially) conflicting files and libraries. Moreover: your maintainance and upgrades will be come hell.
I would advice to use different virtual hosts. Any more professional webhoster allows you to define virtualhosts. Defining them depends on the server, setup, lfavour of OS and so forth, and is a whole topic on its own.
Alternatively, you could create a /path/to/webroot/__cms__/ and /path/to/webroot/__blog__/directory. Advice you to not put Wordpress under drupal (a /blog directory in the Drupal directory) nor to put Drupal under wordpress (a /cms directory inside your WP install. This will lead to conflicts. Drupal may have an url /blog (it does!) that will conflict and wordpress may have a /cms url (it doesn't, but could have) that will conflict. Side by side, not inside one another.
Another alternative would be to bridge one CMS with the other. This is tough and complex, but it would be possible to include wordpress in Drupal or vice-versa, given you have enough development and configuration time and -experience.
