Creating a Drupal Patch

Update 2011-04-25: Creating patches has changed as Drupal has moved to GIT source control. See: http://drupal.org/node/707484 This was the old way to create a patch: ===================== OLD OLD OLD ===================== Here is a very cut down version of how to create a patch. See references below for more details. Checkout the code. cd sites/example.com/modules cvs -z6 -d:pserver:anonymous:anonymous@cvs.drupal.org:/cvs/drupal-contrib checkout -d modulenamehere contributions/modules/modulenamehere OR cvs -z6 -d:pserver:anonymous:anonymous@cvs.drupal.org:/cvs/drupal-contrib checkout -r -d moduleName contributions/modules/moduleName To get the correct version tag, visit the CVS contrib modules repo, choose your module, and pick one of the available NON-BRANCH tags from the dropdown list at the top of the page (such as DRUPAL-6--1-0). Example: cvs -z6 -d:pserver:anonymous:anonymous@cvs.drupal.org:/cvs/drupal-contrib checkout -r DRUPAL-6--1 -d datatables contributions/modules/datatables Apply the modifications to the code. Create the patch (I use w and B to ignore any whitespace of blank lines) cd sites/example.com/modules/foobar cvs diff -upwB > example.patch Then test the patch. Put the original files back in place. cd sites/example.com/modules/foobar patch -p0 < example.patch ===================== OLD OLD OLD ===================== References: http://drupal.org/node/321 http://drupal.org/patch/create

Get GMT 0. Uses the server time to adjust to GMT 0 so need to ensure server time is correct for these functions to be accurate. date_default_timezone_set("Australia/Perth") mktime() : 1204430231 date("u") : 1204430231 time() : 1204430231 date_default_timezone_set("Australia/Sydney") mktime() : 1204430231 date("u") : 1204430231 time() : 1204430231 --------------------- Now that we know this we can use these functions to compare to other GMT 0 adjuste...
