    Now wondering why I hadn’t started using the FAQ module in Drupal before? It may be one of those things where it wasn’t doing what I needed a few years ago, but it works great now.

    Note on Drupal best practices: when using db_set_active() to use another database, make sure to reset back to the default db as soon as you get the results from the other database. You can never be sure just when Drupal is gong to try another query that may need the default db.

    Tweaked NS Cloner plugin to copy media library files to the newly cloned site. Also reduced the privileges needed to create a clone so that anyone with the right role could do it. Puts me on the path for that big red “Clone Me!” button that we need.

    Working on cloning for Classcaster and ECR sites. Goal is to allow privileged members the ability to make a complete clone of a site.
    A new plugin, NS Cloner, was released today that promises to make this process easier. It gives the network admin the ability to clone any site. It does an excellent job, but it ignores media files. To copy existing media files from parent to clone is straight forward. The plugin already handles all of the reference to the media files.
