Pamelaware for Drupal is an information cards plugin for the Drupal Content Management System.
Requirements
You will need the following things to use PW-wp:
- A static IP address
- An SSL Certificate
- A Drupal 6.x CMS environment
- PHP5
- php5-mcrypt (a library that contains crypto stuff)
See the Checking PHP Prerequisites page if you aren't sure whether your site uses PHP5 or php5-mcrypt.
See the SSL Certificate Primer if you want more information on SSL Certificates
Preparation
- You must install your certificate into the web server before PamelaWare will work
- Instructions here: http://www.digicert.com/ssl-certificate-installation-apache.htm
- You know it has worked when you can use the https:// prefix to go to your blog (ie https://myblog.com)
Installation
PamelaWare installation involves a few steps:
Place the Module where Drupal can find it
Check out the Module from Subversion
- Go to the sites/all/modules subdirectory of your drupal install and checkout the current version:
Dev Snapshot: svn co https://pamelaproject.com/svn/pw/pwdrupal/trunk/drupal6/pw_infocard pw_infocard
Stable: (no stable version yet)
Enable the Module
- Login to Drupal as user with admin privileges.
- Go to "Administer".
- Select "Site building" and then "Modules".
- Scroll down to the "PamelaWare Information Card Login" Module and enable it.
- Go back to the "Administer" menu and again under "Site building" select "Blocks"
- Add the "PamelaWare Information Card" block to either the right or left sidebar.
- Go back to the "Administer" menu and under "Site configuration", select "Information Card Settings"
- Follow the prompts to ensure that all of the checkboxes are green (usually this means putting in the private key of your website).
