Drupal Permissions Setup

I am writing this in conjunction with the setup of a new Drupal 10 site on my local. The setup is a little different than the instructions call for because I am doing the setup within Lando. This means that the permissions didn't come out right and editing the site files directly on my machine leads to having read-only access.

Work done here is on Mac OS X 13.5 Ventura. But should apply to any Mac or Linux machine.

To resolve that, I did the following things after the initial site setup with composer within Lando:

1. First, I checked the directory permissions. You can do that with stat -f '%A %N' *.
2. That shows me the permissions in numerical format. All the files should be 644 and the directories be 755.

Notes

This requires one more thing. The YouTube video URL needs parameters to tell it to accept commands. In my application, which is Drupal 9, I use a hook to modify the URL of all YouTube video URLs.

Example URL: https://www.youtube.com/embed/f5piHKZPoP4?rel=0&autoplay=0&enablejsapi=1

Specifically, the "enablejsapi" parameter is what enables this. I will also share a php file with the Drupal hook I used for this.

To learn more about the optional parameters you can pass, look at this documentation: https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters
