Drush Multi

This is an extension to the Drupal Shell aka drush

I use the following symbolic links structure on our servers and wrote a bash script for handling Drupal updates years ago.

Within this structure and this drush command, it is now possible to do that via drush.

Now drush can update Drupal.

Here is the very specific structure this command deals with for multi drupalupdate and multi create:

drupal/
|-- 6.x -> drupal-6.14
|-- 6.x_backup
|-- 6.x_sites
|   |--all
|   |   |-- modules
|   |   `-- themes
|   |-- default
|   `-- example.com
|      |-- files
|      |-- modules
|      `-- themes
`-- drupal-6.14
    |-- backup -> ../6.x_backup
    |-- includes
    |-- misc
    |-- modules
    |-- profiles
    |-- scripts
    `-- sites  -> ../6.x_sites

Commands

Security Review

Security Review automates checking many of the configuration errors that lead to an insecure Drupal site and looks for existing vulnerabilities and attack attempts.

Subsites

Subsites are a part of your website that can have its own menu, theme, custom CSS or anything else you want.

Subsites can be defined in a few manners:
- Marking individual nodes as belonging to the subsite.
- All pages in the subsite menu belong to the section.
- Defining paths that belong to a the section. This is done in the same way block visibility works. So you can use PHP too!

Subsites can have ...
... their own page template : page-subsites-{subsite-id} or page-subsites-{subsite-slug-name}.tpl.php
... their own CSS file
... their own theme, different from the default theme
... their own menu.

Subsites can be ...
... a condition in Context module (http://drupal.org/project/context)
... used to define block visibility

That's all? Nope! Themers and module writers can react differently for each subsite using subsites_get_current and subsites_get.

Remark! There can only be one subsite active at any moment. If multiple subsites are valid for some page, the one with the lowest weight is the active one.

How can you get involved?
