- 3. Projects
- 5. Drupal Install Profile • Installs modules/themes by default • Create sample content • Set variables • Allows admins to choose options • Create consistent versions of the same site
- 6. Why Would You Use It? • Deploying lots of similar websites • Be able to make changes to them quickly • Limit the variability between websites • Make it easier for content editors to get up and running
- 7. Install Profile Alternatives • Create a post-install script (drush commands and php scripts) • Create an install profile • Create a deploy module • Default database dump
- 8. Where to start? • Minimal/standard install profiles in core • Your list of modules • Custom modules and themes you’ve developed • Configuration from the sites you’ve already built
- 10. Basic steps 1. Assemble modules/theme 2. Create key pieces of configuration 3. Create the install profile 4. Test the install profile and iterate
- 13. 2 Types of Configuration Features Configuration that needs to be synchronized/the same for all sites • Contexts • Views • Content Types • WYSIWYG profiles • Permissions Default Config Configuration that needs to be customizable/flexible. Added during install • Custom blocks • Name of the site • Menu items • Theme settings • Views: using hook_views_default_views()
- 14. Re-usable components • Things that are identical for all sites. • You can build these with features! • Contexts • Views • Content Types • WYSIWYG profiles • Permissions
- 15. Default configuration • Things that admins need to be able to change. • Set the defaults in your .install file: • Custom blocks • Name of the site • Menu items • Theme settings • Views: using hook_views_default_views()

- 28. .info File name = My install profile description = Example profile core = 7.x version = 0.1 ! ;Core Dependencies dependencies[] = block dependencies[] = color dependencies[] = comment
- 29. .install file • hook_install • add text formats • enable blocks • set variables • create fields and field instances • set up default content
- 30. .profile file • hook_install_tasks • array of steps for the installer • each step corresponds to a callback function (could be a form) • hook_install_tasks_alter • you can unset steps in the default process
- 32. Custom Modules
