INSTALLATION
|
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Check out the Drupman's directory from CVS :
|
| 24 |
$ cvs -z6 -d:pserver:anonymous:anonymous@cvs.drupal.org:/cvs/drupal-contrib
|
| 25 |
checkout contributions/drupman
|
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Install remote configuration modules located in folder drupman\drupal.
|
| 28 |
(Simply copy those files to \modules on Drupal installation root
|
| 29 |
and enable those modules in the modules admin section at "admin/modules")
|
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Build the XPIs by running the build scripts. Resulting drupman.xpi & xmlrpcinspector.xpi
|
| 32 |
(Only works on Windows for now, may be an Ant script later :)
|
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
To run as a Firefox extension :
|
| 35 |
Install those XPIs as normal. Choose Drupal Manager from Tools menu.
|
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
To run as a XULRunner application
|
| 38 |
%path_to_xulrunner%\xulrunner.exe --install-app drupman.xpi
|
| 39 |
Execute %Program Files%\drupal.org\drupman\drupman.exe
|
| 40 |
The XULRunner app will have an extension manager soon, so please be patient. :)
