Troubleshooting Imagecache

on Fri, 12/24/2010 - 02:15

Imagecache module reformats and serves uploaded images according to default and user-defined settings. When the images are called by Drupal, imagecache serves them up by spec, and makes a copy of the file which it saves in the sites/default/files/imagecache folder. So, if you want a file to be displayed at 250 pixels width (no matter the dimensions of the original file) you can specify a setting in imagecache and it will display files according to these specs. Very handy for use with views, display suite, etc.

Sync Local and Live Sites via Drush

If you haven't heard the news – Drush rules! It's a command line interface for Drupal that allows you to do all sorts of things like download and install modules, themes and Drupal base-installs, as well as manage some database functions, evaluate php, access the drupal API and more! Drush is also a great tool for syncing various sites. You can copy a site file directory and database to a local development environment or any location, really. This makes things like backing up a live site, or pushing a development site to a server easy.
