Commerce Kickstart

Posted by rszrama on March 2, 2011 at 7:31pm

Commerce Kickstart is the quickest way to get up and running with Drupal Commerce. It includes the latest versions of Drupal core, Drupal Commerce, and the other modules it depends on. It also gives you a set of options to create a fully-featured demo store out of the box complete with an attractive theme, catalog and search configuration, and a custom back office interface.
Who should use Commerce Kickstart? Anyone who wants to skip weeks of configuration to build a commerce site on the Drupal Commerce framework.

Note on installation:

(1) apt-get install php5-gd curl libcurl3 libcurl3-dev php5-curl php5-mysql
(2) Link the ${INSTALL_DIR} to your apache2 ./sites-enabled/drupal (prepare the apache2 config file named drupal, redirecting the URL to your ${INSTALL_DIR})
(3) ./sites/default: 
$mv ./default-settings.php ./settings-php
$chmod go+w ./settings-php

After installation, remember to change the permission back:
$chmod go-w ./settings-php

Drupal Commons

Posted by ezra-g on June 25, 2010 at 6:04pm

Drupal Commons is a ready-to-use solution for building either internal or external communities. It provides a complete social business software solution for organizations.
Drupal Commons helps organize content into topic (organic) groups with blog, discussion, document, wiki, and event content types. It also allows users to create (user) relationships with each other in order to follow each other's activities on a site. Authenticated users can view a personalized dashboard containing content from all their subscribed groups.
Download Drupal Commons 6.x from Acquia's website and 7.x-3.x from this project page on Drupal.org


Note on installation:
(1) See notes above

(2) Error message:

Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded

I simply edited sites/default/settings.php and added the following line:
ini_set('max_execution_time', 120);
