CiviCRM test drive
July 08, 2009, 12:35:31 am
The installation guide (CiviCRM/Drupal) in section 8 says "There should now be a CiviCRM link in your Drupal menu."

Nope.  I have completed the CiviCRM installation but there is nothing in the Drupal menu that mentions CiviCRM.

I guess I could add it.  Where should it point?

On the demo site the link goes to

http://drupal.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm

ON mine (without clean urls)

http://localhost/circus25/?q=civicrm

You sure you enabled the module & gave permissions to it? (sorry to ask - I know you probably have)

Yes, it's enabled.  ?q=civicrm works.  Thanks.

I used civicrm/dashboard for the address.

Simply using http://hostname/drupal/civicrm for the address also works.  But what is interesting is that when I look at the web site with FTP, there is no such directory.

Obviously there IS such a directory.  So why don't I see it with FTP?

I'm guessing that has something to do with aliasing in Linux.  The real path is long and complicated.  The installation program obviously managed to simplify it.

No, You're thinking about it from an old-fashioned perspective. In modern CMS applications the CMS application figures out how to deal with the url  and the relationship between the url & the directory structure has gone.

What a shame.  They are simply making life difficult.  Even discovering the node number in Drupal is difficult.  You would think it would be listed on the Content page, but I guess that would be too easy.
