<h1>Change the Content Type of Multiple Nodes Using SQL</h1>
<p class="posted">1st July 2010</p>
<p>In this post, I will be changing values within my Drupal 6 site's database to quickly change the content type of multiple nodes. I will be using a test development site with the core Blog module installed, and converting Blog posts to a custom content type called 'News article'.</p>
<p><strong>Before changing any values within the database, ensure that you have an up-to-date backup which you can restore if you encounter a problem!</strong></p>
<p>To begin with, I created the 'News article' content type, and then used the Devel Generate module to generate some Blog nodes.</p>
<p>Using <a href="http://www.sequelpro.com">Sequel Pro</a>, I can query the database to view the Blog posts (you can also do this via the <a href="http://guides.macrumors.com/Terminal">Terminal</a> in a Mac OS X/Linux, <a href="http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/sql/index.html">Oracle SQL Developer</a> on Windows, or directly within <a href="http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/index.php">phpMyAdmin</a>):</p>
<p>Using an SQL 'Update' command, I can change the type value from 'blog' to 'article'. This will change every occurance of the value 'blog'. If I wanted to only change certain nodes, I could add a 'Where' clause to only affect nodes with a certain nid or title.</p>
<p>Now, when I query the database, the type is shown as 'article'.</p>
<p>Now, when I go back into the administration section of my site and view the content, the content type now shows at 'News article'.</p>

<h1>Create Virtual Hosts on Mac OS X Using VirtualHostX</h1>
<p class="posted">2nd July 2010</p>
<p>This isn't a Drupal related topic per se, but it is a walk-through of one of the applications that I use whilst doing Drupal development work. I assume, like most Mac OS X users, I use <a href="http://www.mamp.info/en/index.html">MAMP</a> to run Apache, MySQL and PHP locally whilst developing. I also use virtual hosts in Apache to create local .dev domains which are as close as possible to the actual live domains. For example, if I was developing a site called mysite.com, my local development version would be mysite.dev.</p>
<p>Normally, I would have to edit the hosts file and Apache's httpd.conf file to create a virtual host. The first to set the domain and it's associated IP address, and the other to configure the domain's directory, default index file etc. However, using <a href="http://clickontyler.com/virtualhostx">VirtualHostX</a>, I can quickly create a virtual host without having to edt any files. Enter the virtual domain name, the local path and the port, and apply the settings. VirtualHostX automatically restarts Apache, so the domain is ready to work straight away. You can also enter custom directives from within the GUI.</p>
<p>There's also an option to share the host over the local network. Next, I intend on configuring a virtual Windows PC within VMware Fusion to view these domains so that I can do cross-browser testing before putting a site live.</p>
<p>I ensured that my Apache configuration within MAMP was set to port 80, and that VirtualHostX was using Apache from MAMP instead of Apple's built-in Apache.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> One problem that I had after setting this up, was that I was receving an error when attempting to open a Drupal website which said <em>'No such file or directory'.</em></p>
<p>After some troubleshooting, I found out that Web Sharing on my Mac had become enabled (I don't know why, I've never enabled it), and that this was causing a conflict with Apache. Once I opened my System Preferences and disabled it, everything worked fine!</p>
<p>This, along with <a href="http://www.mamp.info/en/index.html">MAMP</a>, <a href="http://www.panic.com/coda">Coda</a>, <a href="http://www.sequelpro.com">Sequel Pro</a>, and <a href="http://www.panic.com/transmit">Transmit</a>, has become an essential tool within my development environment.</p>

<h1>Add a Taxonomy Term to Multiple Nodes Using SQL</h1>
<p class="posted">7th July 2010</p>
<p><strong>Update:</strong> This can also be done using the <a href="http://drupal.org/project/views_bulk_operations">Views Bulk Operations</a> module.</p>
<p>In preparation for my Blog posts being added to <a href="http://drupal.org/planet">Drupal Planet</a>, I needed to create a new Taxonomy term (or, in this case, tag) called 'Drupal Planet', and assign it to new content to imported into their aggregator. After taking a quick look though my previous posts, I decided that 14 of my previous posts were relevant, and thought that it would be useful to also assign these the 'Drupal Planet' tag.</p>
<p>I didn't want to manually open each post and add the new tag, so I decided to make the changes myself directly into the database using SQL, and as a follow-up to a previous post - <a href="/blog/change-content-type-multiple-nodes-using-sql/">Quickly Change the Content Type of Multiple Nodes using SQL</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Again, before changing any values within the database, ensure that you have an up-to-date backup which you can restore if you encounter a problem!</strong></p>
<p>The first thing I did was create the 'Drupal Planet' term in my Tags vocabulary. I decided to do this via the administration area of my site, and not via the database. Then, using <a href="http://www.sequelpro.com">Sequel Pro</a>, I ran the following SQL query to give me a list of Blog posts on my site - showing just their titles and nid values.</p>
<pre><code class="language-sql">SELECT title, nid FROM node WHERE TYPE = 'blog' ORDER BY title ASC;
</code></pre>
<p>I made a note of the nid's of the returned nodes, and kept them for later. I then ran a similar query against the term_data table. This returned a list of Taxonomy terms - showing the term's name, and it's unique tid value.</p>
<pre><code class="language-sql">SELECT NAME, tid FROM term_data ORDER BY NAME ASC;
</code></pre>
<p>The term that I was interested in, Drupal Planet, had the tid of 84. To confirm that no nodes were already assigned a taxonomy term with this tid, I ran another query against the database. I'm using aliases within this query to link the node, term_node and term_data tables. For more information on SQL aliases, take a look at <a href="http://w3schools.com/sql/sql_alias.asp">http://w3schools.com/sql/sql_alias.asp</a>.</p>
<pre><code class="language-sql">SELECT * FROM node n, term_data td, term_node tn WHERE td.tid = 84 AND n.nid = tn.nid AND tn.tid = td.tid;
</code></pre>
<p>As expected, it returned no rows.</p>
<p>The table that links node and term_data is called term_node, and is made up of the nid and vid columns from the node table, as well as the tid column from the term_data table. Is it is here that the additional rows would need to be entered.</p>
<p>To confirm everything, I ran a simple query against an old post. I know that the only taxonomy term associated with this post is 'Personal', which has a tid value of 44.</p>
<pre><code class="language-sql">SELECT nid, tid FROM term_node WHERE nid = 216;
</code></pre>
<p>Once the query had confirmed the correct tid value, I began to write the SQL Insert statement that would be needed to add the new term to the required nodes. The nid and vid values were the same on each node, and the value of my taxonomy term would need to be 84.</p>
<p>Once this had completed with no errors, I returned to the administration area of my Drupal site to confirm whether or not the nodes had been assigned the new term.</p>

<h1>Review of the Teleport Module</h1>
<p class="posted">12th July 2010</p>
<p>As a heavily-reliant <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quicksilver_%28software%29">Quicksilver</a> user on my MacBook Pro, I was glad when I found the <a href="http://drupal.org/project/teleport">Teleport</a> module for <a href="http://drupal.org">Drupal</a> <em>(due to Elliott Rothman's <a href="http://twitter.com/elliotttt/status/18044234238">tweet</a>)</em>.</p>
<p>When you press a configurable hot-key, a jQuery dialog box appears where you can search for nodes by title or path, or directly enter the path that you want to navigate to. This will greatly reduce the number of clicks that I need to perform to get to my desired page - even compared to the <a href="http://drupal.org/project/admin">Admin</a> and <a href="http://drupal.org/project/admin_menu">Administration Menu</a> modules.</p>
<p>Although it's not a new module (the first commits were 2 years ago), I hope that they are still planning on achieving the list of future directions listed on their Drupal.org project page:</p>
<ul>
<li>Make interface act more like Quicksilver (i.e. you should only have to press Enter once to launch)</li>
<li>'Actions' like Quicksilver: if you select a node, a second input should appear with options to go to the View page, Edit page, (un)publish, etc. Same with users.</li>
<li>Hook into more non-node content, like taxonomy terms and functions in the API module.</li>
</ul>
<p>Personally, this will make navigation around both the front-end and administration area of my Drupal sites so much easier.</p>
