Emergencies

If something goes terribly wrong (e.g. attacks on the site) it is best to take the site offline so that the database, our most valuable data, doesn't get damaged. Depending on which passwords or access data you have at hand, these two options may be applied, the first being the safer one, the second at least displaying a status message a la site offline.

• Log in to server and uncomment the first line of /var/www/.htaccess which reads "deny from all" or
• Visit Site maintenance and set the site offline here.

Currently we are keeping a backup of every hour for the last 24 hours, and a backup of every day for the last 14 days, so it should be possible to roll back the database to a point where the data was ok and not loose too much content.

Don't forget to contact vvvvebmaster if something like this happens. (+49 179 4586372).

Access statistic per page

go to a page -> edit then replace "edit" with "access-statistics", like so:

 node/91772/access-statistics

Users

If you need to edit a user, you may do so at /users/<name>/edit-settings. The following information can be changed here:

• Username (probably only interesting in special cases)
• Users password and email
• Users roles
• Activate and deactivate user (user will get a message if his profile is activated)

An overview of all users in the backend is here: admin/user/user/advuser

Tags in general

In Drupal collection of tags are called "Vocabularies". Categorizing in general is referred to as the "Taxonomy Sytem".

The Taxonomy Manager

Tags are best handled by using the Taxonomy Manager. Useful operations supported by the taxonomy manager are:

• Renaming Tags
• Deleting Tags
• Adding Tags
• Modifying the Tag hierarchy
• Merging Tags

Cleaning up Tags

For cleaning up tags in freetagging vocabularies there basically are two important functions:

• Merging tags in the Taxonomy Manager (e.g. merge "light" with "lights)
• Removing unused tags via the Taxonomy Pruner. Just click "Prune Taxonomy now".

Help users

admins (master+joreg) can logon as a different user if they want to see the same problems they are having with the site. Just go to /devel/switch/<username>. Will only work when the devel module is turned on.

Changing a users name

Simply go to:

 Edit User Settings

on a users page and change the Username there. Save. That's it.
