Download and Install for Drupal

I wrote this script to automatically get and install both themes and modules for drupal. Whenever you want to install a theme or a module, you have to wget the tar file, unzip it, and move it into its proper directory, I wrote a script that does just that.

This is my first script using ‘getopts’ in bash, and so far I like it. I noticed getopts produces some errors if you just supply “-” as the command line argument, so I hard coded the program to exit if it detects that (if anyone knows a better way let me know!)

The script is called ‘drupalget’ and can be called with -t to download a theme, -m to download a module, or -h for help (usage).

The script can accept an unlimited number of URLs after the -t or -m switch, so you can install more than one theme/module at a time.

Examples

drupalget -t website.com/theme1.tar website.com/theme2.tar ...
drupalget -m website.com/module1.tar website.com/module2.tar ...
