This video shows how to use the magical symbolic link, or symlink. These are basically a handy *nix way to create shortcuts. They come in particularly handy if you want to organize code for your websites outside of the web server's document root and that is the example we use here.

In this next video of our command line series, we will look at permissions and ownership of files and folders. It covers the following commands:

• chmod
• chown
• chgrp
• sudo

This is the first video in a series that shows basic command line usage for *nix systems, such as Linux, Mac OS X, and on Windows, using applications like Cygwin. This video shows the following commands and spends the most time explaining how to move around your file structure from the command line:

• pwd
• ls (and ls -al)
• less
• cd
• man
• clear

There are a lot of approaches for resizing images (ImageCache, Image, iMCE, and many others). However when building a site for a simple user (no previous web experience), I found that all of these approaches required too much effort on the part of the end user. Why can't a user just resize an image in their WYSIWYG, and not worry about the size of the image at all? That's the goal accomplished by the Image Resize Filter. Despite its extremely techie-sounding name, it's ridiculously easy to use. It provides inline resizing of images to match any tag in any HTML inserted in any Drupal textarea that supports filtering.

This video is an introduction to the Schema module. This is a great module if you'd like a peek at how your Drupal database is set up (with descriptions!) or if you are building a new module and you'd like someone else to magically create the schema for your .install file. It can also check your database and tell you if anyone has monkeyed with the way Drupal thinks it should be set up. This introduction touches on all of these features and gives a good overview on how to use this really cool module.
