Demo content

Yea I think that's a good idea too. But also: documentation. There's nothing yet to really explain stuff, except for the Github project pages. I want to copy those descriptions to the product pages soon (need to convert the Markdown to HTML), but there needs to be more too.

If you're interested in writing some, I'd be happy to answer questions and help! This is all still pretty fresh, so there's a lot to do.

Agreed. Here's an overview of the setup I'm using:

1. Create Areas - These are taxonomy terms that represent areas on a map.
2. Add Crops - These are also taxonomy terms that represent the crops you're growing.
3. Begin entering records as needed: Plantings, Inputs, Cultivations, Harvests, and Issues

Plantings have a field for "Location" (a Field Collection) which takes a couple of pieces of information, including the Area it's in (optional) and the quantity. Plantings can be "moved" by creating a new Location field item, and marking the old one to indicate the planting is already there. Plantings can also be split into multiple areas or quantities in this way.

Inputs and Cultivations are pretty simple: just a couple of fields to describe what kind of input/cultivation, where it took place, on what crops, etc.

Harvests have an "Items" field that is used to add crops and quantities to a list.

The main idea with the Log types (Plantings, Inputs, Cultivations, Harvests, and Issues) is that they are basically a record of something that took place... or something that WILL take place (log items can have a date in the future). So you could use it to write tomorrow's harvest list, for example... or use Drupal Commerce and Rules to create a wholesale order form that pre-populates the harvest list. Lots of possibilities.

That's just the log stuff. There's also a fair bit of stuff in the Farm CSA module. But this issue queue is for the Drupal Farm distribution, so maybe each module should have it's own documentation, and this project's should be more general, with links to the others.

That is basically how I'm thinking about them. Which module are you referring to? http://www.drupal.org/project/event? That project appears to be pretty dead, and there is no Drupal 7 version.

I decided to create a very simple Log module for this purpose: http://drupal.org/project/log

At this point it is basically just a simple entity type, allowing you to define different Log types with different fields.

I just installed farmOS (on ubuntu server) and it looks pretty good I hope to play with it some more - trying to document spring planting and maybe adding in fruit trees. I will report in as I have questions.

Thanks for your efforts.

@joemoraca: That's great! Glad to hear you're trying it out. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

BUT: Please open a new issue for future discussions... this issue is for discussing a specific feature request (providing demo content in new farmos installs).

Here is the list of issues: https://www.drupal.org/project/issues/farm

And here is where you create a new one: https://www.drupal.org/node/add/project-issue/farm

Gotta keep things organized so I don't miss things. :-)

Closing this because it's very old. And in the meantime, we've created the farmOS User Guide: https://farmOS.org/guide

As well as the farmOS Forum: https://farmOS.discourse.group

And we will be working on a setup wizard soon, which may be a good place to provide some new features around setting up initial content to get you going: #3066502: farmOS Setup Wizard
