Integrations
GravityForms
Join the Email List and For HS Counselors are GravityForms forms on the Admissions site. We have a weekly cron job (on sudo) on emkojima that runs every Friday to pull the results in a CSV format and puts them in a shared drive that Neal and Jim of Admissions can access for their scripts. There is a project request to automate adding these into the CRM directly, in the pipeline. The password for root on emkojima is in Encryptr.
If you want to run the scripts manually, make sure to run them as su to get permissions to write to the folder.

Plugins
Super Cache Plugin
Super Cache is enabled on the admit site. When a content owner edits a page, Super Cache is configured to automatically remove that page from the cache so that visitors will immediately see those changes. However, Super Cache will not automatically flush the cache when you make theme updates, etc. If you make any theme/presentation modifications to the site outside of editing a post/page, then you should visit the Super Cache plugin and delete the cache pages; Super Cache will then begin repopulating the cache with your changes.
Super Cache also presented some difficulties during installation: it didn’t want to write/create its configuration files automatically. I had to follow the instructions in the Super Cache admin to create/edit these files in order to get Super Cache working; you might encounter similar issues.
