Missing Items
September 29, 2008, 01:20:45 pm
In working my way through the tutorial, I'm realizing certain things are missing from my installation--I wonder why? 

First, the CiviCRM menu is over to the right hand side (no biggie) and there isn't a quick Contact search function or a new individual widget.

The second thing I've noticed is that there are a number of things missing from my Administer CiviCRM menu that are present in the configuration shown on the tutorial videos. These missing items are are:

Customize:
-Backup data
-Synchronize users to contacts
Configure:
-Custom data
-CiviCRM profile
-Import/Export mapping
-message templates
CiviMail
-Domain settings

The rest seems to be the same. Why the difference? Are there add-on modules (or something like that) that I am missing? 

FWIW, I am using version 2.0.6 and logged in as the administrator (with full permissions).

Go to your Drupal’s Administer → Site building → Blocks screen and add the two blocks there.

Some of these screens were removed between the version that was used to create the screencasts (Backup data), most were moved to saner locations (Custom data and CiviCRM profile are now under Customize).

If you still aren’t sure whether you’re not missing anything, please compare with our demo server (note that it runs CiviCRM 2.1, but I don’t think that much changed in the admin screens between 2.0 and 2.1).

Also, a tip: You can update your forum’s profile’s Drupal, MySQL and PHP versions by getting them from your Drupal’s Administer → Reports → Status Report page.

Thank you!

I'm cool with the stuff moving--I'll check there. However, the one thing I really want to do is backup the data--the feature that was removed. Is there a new way to do this (or was it removed since it just didn't work)?

You should check the mysql web site / PHPMyAdmin / Google / Yahoo for better ways to backup your database.

In our opinion, either an automated way done on the server’s side or simply a database export from any database access tool (like PHPMyAdmin) is a much better solution.
