civi-partyconfig-extension A configuration extension for CiviCRM that streamlines and reshapes the system for the needs of political parties and civic organizations. Built for NDItech's CiviParty DemTool. Installation Instructions To install the CiviParty DemTool, you'll need a Linux server, comfort working with LAMP web stacks, some systems administration experience, and time to play around. This tool is built upon Drupal and CiviCRM systems. After you've successfully installed Drupal, you need to install CiviCRM from the CiviCRM website. CiviCRM is a web-based contact relationship management tool that integrates with Drupal for content management. Do NOT download or use .module or tarball files from drupal.org - they are placeholder files only. CiviParty currently supports integration with Civi 4.5 and Civi 4.6 and Drupal 7.

Drush is a shell interface for managing Drupal right from your cloud server command line. It is a very useful tool as it helps you perform various admin tasks using just one or two commands. drush dl drupal-7.39 Notice that we now have a drupal-7.39 directory with all of the Drupal files. We want the Drupal files to be in our document root, not in a 'drupal-7.39' subdirectory. So, we'll move the contents of the directory up one level. mv drupal-7.39/* ./ mv drupal-7.39/.htaccess ./ List all the existing files. Remove all files and subdirectories. ls -lah drupal-7.39 rm -rf drupal-7.39 Invoke MySQL. It will ask you for your password.
