Drupal8 + CiviCRM install notes
******************************** | |
*THIS IS OLD DON'T USE THIS* | |
******************************** | |
Using php 7.1, drupal 8.6.4, civicrm 5.8.2 | |
Set max_execution_time to 0 in php.ini. Restart httpd. (Not required on a server, but on my dev laptop 30 seconds isn't even close to enough for either the drupal or civicrm installation parts.) | |
Install git. | |
* Might be obvious, but it's not actually mentioned anywhere. | |
* Also if you're on windows make sure your PATH can reach both the php executable and git. | |
Install composer. | |
Install nodejs. (Yeah, it's required at the moment since bower requires it.) | |
Install bower via npm. https://bower.io | |
* If you're on windows make sure your PATH is set up correctly before running this command so it installs the bower module in the right place. e.g. open a new cmd window to do this AFTER installing nodejs. | |
Follow the instructions at https://www.mydropwizard.com/blog/how-install-civicrm-drupal-8-and-why-choose-it-over-pure-drupal-crm: | |
* When following the gist at https://gist.github.com/dsnopek/56311dbea347874e75180883efabb620, on windows rather than fiddle with "sed" you can just edit civicrm-version.php and change Drupal to Drupal8 manually. | |
* Note also I think all the comments at that gist have been incorporated into the procedure already. | |
* I used a slightly different command to install the actual civicrm drupal 8 module: "git clone -b 5.8 https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-drupal-8.git civicrm". I was installing civicrm 5.8.2 so I also chose branch 5.8 of the module. | |
Follow the instructions at https://hq.megaphonetech.com/projects/commons/wiki/CiviCRM_for_Drupal_8_installation_notes, except: | |
* When it says "webroot", this could mean a couple things. For me I chose the folder that drupal was installed in. | |
* The "script on the ticket" doesn't work on windows. While most of it is straightforward to do manually, for the rsync command you can use: | |
`cd vendor\civicrm\civicrm-core` | |
`xcopy /S *.html \path\to\libraries\civicrm` | |
`xcopy /S *.js \path\to\libraries\civicrm`, | |
... and then repeat and replace *.html with each of the file extensions listed in the rsync command, e.g. *.css, *.svg, etc. | |
* I didn't care about "extern" scripts here, so I just created the one settings_location.php script under libraries/civicrm. | |
* Also just to get it running I didn't need the part about images in ckeditor. | |
To get unit tests running with the included vendor/phpunit need to install an older version of dbunit: | |
* From the drupal root folder: composer require phpunit/dbunit:2.0.3 | |
* Then run tests from the vendor/civicrm/civicrm-core folder: php ../../phpunit/phpunit/phpunit tests/phpunit/whatever | |
* (Lots of deprecation warnings when running tests, but otherwise seems to work.) | |
This also works to upgrade. | |
* Log in as an admin to the existing site. Stay logged in. | |
* Start at https://gist.github.com/dsnopek/56311dbea347874e75180883efabb620 where it says about upgrading (composer require ...) and then repeat everything, except: | |
Can keep the settings_location.php that's already in libraries/civicrm, and the existing civicrm.settings.php file (unless there's changes needed to it). | |
For the civicrm-drupal-8 module part, can just do git checkout in that folder to switch branches, e.g. if upgrading to 5.9.x can do `git checkout 5.9`. | |
* Then at the end visit /civicrm/upgrade?reset=1 in the browser. |
