This project is obsolete, check out Coffee instead!
Do was inspired by Gnome Do and is an extensible tool for quick & painless Drupal site administration and development.
Usage
Press Ctrl + Space to open the dialog and type a command (this shortcut can be configured). Hit Enter to execute it.
Examples
A command be followed by unlimited parameters, separated by spaces:
command parameter1 parameter2 parameter3...
The following commands are natively supported (modules can define their own! See "Hooks" below):
- alias
- You can define aliases to create even simpler shortcuts for commonly used functions. Accepts two parameters: "alias" and "command". For example:
alias cc cache_clear_all - goto
- Redirect to an internal Drupal path
- cc
- Flush all caches
- drush
- Forward commands to Drush!
Hooks!
Use hook_do() to extend Do and create your own shortcuts and custom functionality.
In order to define a command, implement hook_do():
// array keys are optional and act as aliases for the command
function mymodule_do() {
return array(
'myfunction
'my_alias' => 'other_function'
);
}Now, implement the function:
// commands get resolved to "MODULENAME_COMMAND"
function mymodule_myunction() {
// do something amazing
return array(
'ok' => FALSE, // signal failure
'msg' => t('Function executed!'), // display message on screen
'redirect' => 'user' // redirect to this path, can also be an absolute URL
);
}
function mymodule_other_function($param1, $param2) {
// all parameters get forwarded here
return array(
'ok' => TRUE,
'redirect' => TRUE, // TRUE means page gets refreshed
);
}Now you can quickly access your functions:
// all additional parameters get forwarded to your function
mymodule my_alias param1 param2Motivation
The basic idea is to offer an unobtrusive, easily-accessible & flexible shortcut shell to complement Drush for more hands-on stuff like navigation, toggling settings and exposing functionality from modules for quick and convenient access.
Get involved!
This went from idea to release very quickly and is still a bit rough around the edges, despite being surprisingly stable! All contributions are welcome, be it bug reports, feature requests, patches, you name it!
