<h2>How to use Authorized Keys to Create a Passwordless SSH Connection</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p class="posted">1st February 2012</p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p>If you're accessing Linux servers or automating tasks between servers, rather than having to enter your user password every time, you can also use SSH public key authentication. This is a simple process that involves creating a local key and storing it within the authorized_keys file on the remote server.
|
||
|

|
||

<h2>Site Upgraded to Drupal 7</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p class="posted">4th January 2012</p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p>As the vast majority of the Drupal websites that I currently work on are built on Drupal 7, I thought that it was time that I upgraded this site. Following the core upgrade process and the CCK migration process, everything was upgraded smoothly without any issues.

I've upgraded a handful of …</p>

<h2>How to Install and Configure Subversion (SVN) Server on Ubuntu</h2>

<p class="posted">19th October 2011</p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p>Recently, I needed to set up a Subversion (SVN) server on a Ubuntu Linux server. This post is going to outline the steps taken, and the commands used, to install and configure the service.

Note: As I was using Ubuntu, I was using the 'apt-get' command to download and install the …</p>

<h2>Create Multigroups in Drupal 7 using Field Collections</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p class="posted">28th August 2011</p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p>One of my favourite things lately in Drupal 6 has been CCK 3, and more specifically, the Content Multigroups sub-module. Basically this allows you to create a fieldset of various CCK fields, and then repeat that multiple times. For example, I use it on this site whist creating invoices for …</p>

<h2>Imagefield Import Archive</h2>

<p class="posted">23rd May 2011</p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p>I've finally uploaded my first module onto Drupal.org!
|
||
|
||
I've written many custom modules, although the vast majority of them are either small tweaks for my own sites, or company/site-specific modules that wouldn't be good to anyone else, so there would be nothing achieved by contributing them back to the community. Previously, …</p>

<h2>Proctor & Stevenson</h2>

<p class="posted">31st March 2011</p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p>2 weeks ago, I handed in my notice of resignation to Horse &amp; Country TVbecause I've been offered a new role at Proctor &amp; Stevenson - a Marketing Design and Communications agency in Bristol.

Proctors have an extensive client list - including BMW, Panasonic, the Open University and VOSA, and it's …</p>

<h2>Display the Number of Facebook fans in PHP</h2>
|

|

<p class="posted">15th March 2011</p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p>Replace the $page_id value with your Page ID number (unless you want to show the number of fans for this site).You can find your Page ID by logging into your Facebook account, going to 'Adverts and Pages', clicking 'Edit page', and looking at the URL.
|
||
|
||
For example, mine is https://www.facebook.com/pages/edit/?id=143394365692197&amp;sk=basic.

<h2>Easily Embed TypeKit Fonts into your Drupal Website</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p class="posted">14th February 2011</p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p>To begin with, you will need to register for a TypeKit account - there is a free version if you just want to try it out.
|
||
|
||
Next, you'll need to create a kit that contains the fonts that you want to use on your website. I've used FF Tisa Web Pro.

<h2>Use Regular Expressions to Search and Replace in Coda or TextMate</h2>

|

<p>As in the original post, I'd generated a list of node ID values, and needed to add structure the SQL update statment formatted in a certain way. However, I changed my inital query slightly to out put the same nid value twice.
