Hi everybody,
I am actually studying how is Drupal installed.
I know that install.php is the script responsable. It calls module.inc that enable the communication with the modules. that let us communicate with the system module, and install the database by the script on the system.install.
Is it right?
What do i want to know: the first time Drupal is launched, normally it should launch the index.php. How does it know that its not installed and launch the install.php. is it in the bootstrap.inc, which function is responsible of it?
Thank you.
I did try to find around if this topic was covered before, but I couldn't find anything. Have the core team thought to add a metatag in the html header identifying the content-generator(?) being drupal?
Drupal is being used in a lot of sites that make us proud; some of them we have to dig deep to find if is really using drupal or not.
1- The Garland's color picker works only when the download method is set to public
2- To write new image files and the new style.css to the folder files/color, one needs to set the download method to public, if only temporarily, when one changes the Garland colors.
Surely with php you can write files 'anywhere', i.e. you can certainly write files to the files directory, so what is the reason why we can't do this ? I want to know why.
I haven't found any technical explanation in the issues tracker, nor in the forums.
