CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hi,

I love the clear instructions on how to get the Views module to sees CiviCRM data (under administer => system = CMS database integration.

I'd love to see added there instructions on how to get the backup_migrate module to see the civicrm database as well.

This is what is working for me with CiviCRM 4.1 and Drupal 7.12. I add the following code to drupal's settings.php file:

 
<?php 
$databases['civicrm']['civicrm'] = array (
  'database' => 'civicrm_database_name',
  'username' => 'civicrm_database_user',
  'password' => 'civicrm_user_password',
  'host' => 'localhost',
  'port' => '',
  'driver' => 'mysql',
  'prefix' => '',
); ?>
Obviously the array values need to be replaced with the real values from the particular installation.
