It is recommended to have 775 or 755 permission for drupal's files(sites/default/files) directory.
Recommendation reference : *Drupal org *Stackexchange *Lullabot
What type of files do we keep under files directory, that would require an Execute permission on server side?
My present site in Drupal 6+ Ubercart, Can I upgrade to Drupal 8? This might be ecommerce itself without ubercart..
Or I should upgrade to Drupal 7? My site about 7 years old with lots of module installed like Support Ticket, Google Feed upload to Google shopping through cron, payment modules, Fuzzy search, indexing etc. Can I keep these in new upgrade version?
I want to have a members-only forum in a Drupal site (under construction) and I want to be able to tell (how many/which) members have (viewed|not viewed) a node.
The idea is to post a node announcing a meeting or event and know that the membership has received the notification -- without cluttering email buckets in both directions.
Is this possible or am I aiming too high or what ?
I am maintaining a backup site for every production site I administer.
What bothers me is that I have the site/files content duplicated too, which may not be necessary because I have a backup on my computer as well. Its a lot of stuff which cost me traffic each time I copy it.
Is there a way the backup and production site can share those files?
Can I change this now without messing up the URLs in the site?
I am new to Drupal and have just started working on an existing site, the previous developer hardcoded a lot of values into his code and function, I would like to replace these with application level variables , in some instances.
These variables would be tied to the instance not the theme and would change from server to server
