CiviCRM is installed in our main hosting order, under the subdirectory "crew/".

We're using the drupal version of civicrm, since drupal civi has some useful plugins for political organizations. Drupal was installed via the mf/pl control panel.

crew is under git source control. ~/masspirates.org/include/git/crew.git is a bare repository, and the master copy.

For themes

 drush pm-download zen
 drush pm-enable zen

I haven't done any theme customization yet.

Additional modules installed

  • pathauto
  • token

Installed civicrm, according to instructions at http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Drupal+Installation+Guide+for+CiviCRM+4.5+-+Drupal+7

Intially, I configured civicrm to use a dedicated database. Later, I discovered that certain things are easier if civicrm uses the same database as drupal itself. I mysqldumped civicrm's database and loaded it into crew's drupal database, and changed civi's configuration file accordingly.
