Cornell ILR Executive Education Site

This is a composer-based Drupal 8 site for http://execed.ilr.cornell.edu.

Requirements

• Git
• composer
• PHP version 7.1 or greater

Setup

1. Clone this repo
2. Run composer install
3. Copy web/sites/example.settings.local.php to web/sites/default/settings.local.php. Modify it to adjust your database connection settings. For example, add the following near the top of the file:

$databases['default']['default'] = [
  'database' => 'execed',
  'username' => 'root',
  'password' => '',
  'host' => 'localhost',
  'port' => '3306',
  'driver' => 'mysql',
  'prefix' => '',
  'collation' => 'utf8mb4_general_ci',
];

Setup of your local web server and PHP environment is up to you.

Cloning Content

Once you have access to the project on platform.sh, you can use the platform CLI tool to easily set up drush aliases:

$ platform drush-aliases

Then, use the included script to sync the database:

./bin/sync-prod.sh

Updating Drupal Core

composer update drupal/core symfony/* --with-dependencies

Content Images and Files

Rather than sync image (and other) files along with the database content, you may optionally proxy them. The stage_file_proxy module is used for this, and it may be enabled by adding the following to web/sites/default/settings.local.php, clearing your caches with drush cr, and running a config import (e.g. drush cim).

$config['config_split.config_split.local']['status'] = TRUE;

Theming

The custom bootstrap-based theme setup info can be found in web/themes/custom/cornell/README.md.
