A hands-on training workshop by Mediacurrent
We have put together a training environment that will help you with the hands-on part of this course. The training environment is made of a Drupal website which includes basic functionality and elements for testing accessibility.
This project requires the following tools to be installed:
- Docker: You can install Docker in your Mac, Windows, or Linux environment.
- DDev: This will help us automate the process of building a drupal website.
Building your training environment requires mimimal interaction with a command line tool like terminal on a mac, or power shell on windows.
-
Open your command line tool and change to a directory where you want to setup your environment (i.e.
cd /Sitesorcd /Documents, etc.) -
Clone this repo by typing
git clone git@github.com:mediacurrent/a11y-training.git
This will download all the files from the repository and will create a new folder calleda11y-training. -
Change into the new directory created by the repo and start DDEV
cd a11y-trainingddev start
This will install your drupal website and enable all required modules. This process could take a few minutes. -
Import the custom database
IMPORTANT: We've included a copy of a starter database in this repo to simplify the training process and avoid having to do a site install. You should never commit a database in your own projects.ddev import-db --src=mysql/dev-starter-db.sql.gz
After the database is imported, it will run a database update, clear the cache, and provide a user login link via Drush.
- Alternatively, you can log into the site through the Drupal UI, http://a11y-training.ddev.site/user. Username -
a11y, password =a11y - Or, you can also log in via drush:
ddev . drush uli
With ddev, you can execute drush commands with ddev . drush <command>, where <command> is the actual drush command you want to run like status or cache-rebuild. The . (period), is shorthand for exec (such as ddev exec drush cr).
