    Where would we be without Campfirepixels and Danny!? As a nonprofit organization with few resources for things like web design, we were so grateful to have Danny’s help redesigning and updating our website. He suggested templates that would work for our organization and helped us transform our outdated website into something more modern and user-friendly! Danny was very responsive to our wants and needs. He was quick to make any changes to design or functionality and very informative about our options. We are also glad that he will continue to help us make occasional updates to our website when needed. We highly recommend Danny and Campfirepixels!

    If you want a great-looking website that contains all the functions you need at a fair price, then you ought to consider engaging Danny. He took our site from stale to stellar, and he did it with humor, patience and expertise. Danny has many, many skills and among them, is the ability to deeply listen. For example, if we asked him to make a change on our site, and he didn’t think it would work with other features, he would let us know the pros and cons. He is technically excellent and creative as well,  always offering great suggestions to improve navigability, for example, and design. He has tremendous skills on both the front- and back end and will do whatever it takes to make you, the client, happy with the result. Our only disappointment is that he has completed our site, and we will miss working with him.

    We  are two of Danny’s biggest fans. We met Danny through his efforts as a Taproot volunteer. As a nonprofit, we work on a modest budget and were so grateful for Danny for donating his time to make our site look engaging and compelling. From the inception of our website design to final development, he was a pleasure to work with. He is a talented website developer who knows the ins and outs of WordPress and, when he comes across a barrier, he is very quick with a workaround. He always has a solution to offer and  is a great troubleshooter.  We are deeply grateful for his expertise, vision and support. Without him, we would not have the professional look we now have, which is a major factor when soliciting donations from both individuals and foundations. To have this work done at no cost, saved us thousands of dollars. Thank you, Danny.

    Campfire Pixels does great work! I would highly recommend them for website designs, updates, etc. They updated our website to a much more user-friendly, modern design. They also have wonderful communication skills. I felt like they understood everything I suggested or wanted to see on the site. They did fast and efficient work. Our new site is a huge blessing and it will help our non-profit immensely.

    Danny Smith of Campfire Pixels was just the Wordpress magician our organization's website needed! He clearly communicated with us, was flexible with our unique scheduling needs, and made excellent technical recommendations regarding website hosting and plugins. Danny's attention to detail ended up saving us a lot of money in hosting fees, too. We'd be happy to work with Danny again in an instant!

The most automated version of installing Valet yet

The first thing you need to do is go to the gist file install-files. Once you get there you will click on the Raw.         Then you will copy the url at the top       Open a terminal and enter the following "curl" + the url + | bash        It will cause all of the files to be downloaded.  Next you need to setup the shell to work you will need to type: source .bash_profile First we need to make sure that you do not have any other web server running. Open a terminal and type valet-list         If you had running programs you will need to type valet-destroy Next type       valet-install You can now fix yourself a drink and kick back, as it is going to take a while. If all worked correctly, you will have a webpage open with the following:             Now we need to edit ~/bin/wp-create and put your information in it. HOME will be your home directory, i.e. dgs, danny, etc dbuser and dbpass are both root dbprefix is what you want it to be, I recommend your initials with an underscore admin_user will be anything other than admin, I use dgs admin password is just what you think it is admin_email is your email address There is also a wp-drop, but you don't have to make any modifications to use it. It will delete a wordpress site. Now for the fun part, want a plan html of php site? create a new directory is Sites, and you are done. Want that site to have an ssl certificate, type within that directory valet secure sitename.

Shell script to install and remove Laravel Valet

I decided to automate the install of Laravel Valet and check and make sure that programs are not running that would prevent it from running. For example it will check for other running web server software such as XAMP, MAMP, Local by Flywheel, and Desktop Server and warn the user so they can remove it. It is an opinionated install so fee free to change it. NOTE:   You will want to have backed up both the database and WordPress files before you run this software. I am not responsible for any lost data. I have included a script valet-list, to use to first check and see if any web server software is running.  If it is, run valet-destroy.  If valet-destroy comes up clean, you can run valet-install.  Please note it just lists if non-valet web server is running, it does not remove all of the software. You will need to create a bin directory off of you home directory, add the files, and set the permission cut, paste into terminal, and run https://gist.github.com/dannygsmith/a7b5044c272755d121b63021e83429e4 You will now want to copy the code from these gists place it in the corresponding files by using the text editor of your choice. valet-list https://gist.github.com/dannygsmith/ca96e5face7cd1f02ce62aad490cfe2d   valet-destroy https://gist.github.com/dannygsmith/5b74ba708d7bf8621c1cb6b959ece99f   valet-install Note: You may be asked to enter your password twice… https://gist.github.com/dannygsmith/ccaa9712cb5bdc73e43276a63643366b

Automated backups and restores for Valet+ in the case of Disaster Recovery

I don't like leaving things to chance, and I am lazy and like to make it as easy as possible. I have setup database backups via a cron job that run every day and append 0-6 corresponding to the day. There is a script wp-db-backup that does the backup to a dropbox folder and reads the database names from databases.txt. I have a script wp-db-restore that will create the databases and populate it with the current days backup, so you need to have run wp-db-backup on the same day or hard code the number. It is similar in that it reads from the databases.txt file. The wp-hosts-secure that reads from the hosts.txt file and secures all of the sites.  Last but not least there is crontab.txt that contains the files that will run at 1:00am each day. Before you edit your crontab, you will need to edit you .bash_profile and add the editor you want to use, such as nano.  It defaults to vim, which will be uncomfortable for a lot of people, so be sure and do it first.   wp-db-backup https://gist.github.com/dannygsmith/38c2c7b5d36f4247bf7eb7bff3c0f1c1   databases.txt https://gist.github.com/dannygsmith/541edebff7081b9698353e1197697464   wp-db-restore
