Updated CrownedUp.com from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7

I upgraded CrownedUp.com from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7. Many of the modules we like to use have ripened in D7 so its time to start thinking about upgrading sites. This CrownedUp.com blog is ultra simple so I thought a good place to test pre client. I did realize that I actually had about a dozen extra modules enabled to start. It was a little bumpy on upgrade but worked fairly painlessly.

Format Drupal WYSIWYG editor to match theme CSS, including paragraph spacing.

Submitted by BeatnikDude on Mon, 09/19/2011 - 16:31

I need the format of the WYSIWYG, w/ CKeditor pane, to match the display when viewing a node. Specifically I need this for clients so that they understand what they are actually formatting. You know What You See Is What You Get. Often you have a semi nice WYSIWYG editor but this does not perfectly match the display of the node.

First this means I want to hide all the extra formatting that can be added by Cut & Paste into the editor. A simple Cut & Paste will add all sorts of style elements. Second I need to remove the extra padding at the bottom of paragraphs, so that a single line break is a single line break.

following are my quick notes:

Modify Ubercart invoice template and sort by SKU

I needed to modify the Ubercart invoice template. This invoice template appears to the user online and in email and is also used by the store admin to review/print/email/etc. invoices.
I needed to do some light modifications like; modify "Products on order:" to list products one per line as well as sort products by model (a SKU in my case).

  1. Changing the general template is easy, info about the templates files can be found here:

Following are my quickie notes about the must use Webform module. Whether your needs are a simple Email signup, contact form or for more complex submissions Webform is likely where you will start.
The Drupal Webform module adds a webform node type to your Drupal site. Webforms can be used as newsletter signups, questionnaires, contact/signup/request forms, surveys, polls or a front end to an issue tracking system.

CrownedUp is wearing the Drupal Wabi theme

CrownedUp has been sitting to long in its birthday suit and I have yet to find the time to do some of that C.Z.I. magic I like to brag about. So I was shopping for something clean, simple and configurable for a quick facelift. The Drupal Wabi theme has some great features: colorable theme, 2 column and 3 column layout, liquid and fixed. So I thought what the heck. CrownedUp is now wearing the Drupal Wabi theme.

Import Wordpress Blog into Drupal with Users from Comments

I need to import an entire Wordpress blog to a new Drupal install. I want the posts, pages, authors, taxonomy, comments, and the users who made comments. The last one being the hang up, we didn't want to lose any users from the community during this migration.

In the end I used Wordpress Import module, the User Import module, a little manual parsing and some simple SQL and now have 300 new users linked to their original comments. But I took the long road to this solution, read on and I will relate my journey.
