Testing MathJax
Writing maths works as in LaTeX. Use dollar signs to enclose inline math, e.g. \(x^2\) \(x^2\) $$x^2$$ \(\begin{align}E &= mc^2 \\m &= \frac{m_0}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}}\end{align}\) \(\int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-\pi x^2}\,\mathrm{d}x=1\label{a}\tag{1}\) \ref{a}

This is a reasonably complete sample of using MathJax.
Sample has been taken form here: https://groups.drupal.org/node/1263 MathJax documentation is here: http://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/ Wonder how much of this works: https://yutsumura.com/mathjax-in-wordpress/ Writing maths works as in LaTeX. Use dollar signs to enclose inline math, e.g. \(x^2\). Examples for paragraph math are \(x^2 \) and \(x^2\) (both variants are equivalent). There is also a display-style inline math environment,…

Using drush with drupal
Using drush has been remarkably simple. I downloaded it as instructed on their site, and it almost works straight away. It was annoying to keep having to tell drush the site to use with the -l flag though, so I have configured it for my needs. I did this by making a .drush directory, and…

Getting annoying error with phpMyAdmin
I upgraded phpMyAdmin from 4.1.2 from 4.2.6. Having done this, I copied in the config.inc.php file and started everything up. Logged in and I get “You should upgrade to MySQL 5.5.0 or later.”. Well yes, I should. But I can’t (the mysql version is attached to the NAS – so i can’t really change that…

Configuring GIT

Updating Language of postings in Drupal.
Everything said it was undefined language (very weird). Found this post so I ran this update: UPDATE node SET language = ‘en’ WHERE language = ‘und’; And it did exactly what it says on the tin (turned everything set to und to en). Perfect!

Linking Drupal to QNAP LDAP
This was way more simple than I expected. For reference, I have a separate server running my Drupal Installation. The QNAP sits along side it (but not accessible to the web). I basically just added the LDAP module to the Drupal installation. I also had to install the Entity module for LDAP to use. Then…

Time zones, Oracle Agents, Java, and the paths to madness…..
I was attempting to re-install the Grid Control agents on two RHEL 6 servers today today. They’d had been upgraded from RHEL 5 to 6 and I wanted to see what needed to be done to re-attach them to Grid Control if we didn’t take the existing installation. I was having some issues with it…

Using Oracle InstantClient 11g with PHP onto RHEL 5 with SELinux
This is an example of using the Oracle InstantClient 11g with PHP. Installation InstantClient for PHP This is based on work from the past – but I appeared to have done the following: Installed InstantClient and Pear to manage the php installation. sudo yum install php-pear sudo rpm -ivh oracle-instantclient11.1-basic-11.1.0.7.0-1.i386.rpm sudo rpm -Uvh oracle-instantclient11.1-devel-11.1.0.7.0-1.i386.rpm Update…
