Hi

installing some basic setup (with common modules) of a fresh d7 installation alway takes me some time. I know that this can be done quicker through drush or installation profiles.

Can you provide the clients of OSTraining with such a profile, or just learn us how to do this?
For developers this would save us lots of time when drupal is installed with the most common modules by clicking a few buttons.

just a suggestion :o)

thx

Kris

Hi Kris,

I'll talk over a profiles tutorial with Steve. I the meantime, check out this one www.ostraining.com/blog/drupal/features/ It will greatly speed up your development.

See if that helps a bit.

Cheers,
Ed

Hi Ed

thx for the quick response. I know the features module, but I think that an installation profile tutorial would help us developers a lot to save so much more time (hint hint :o))

Go Steve, go Ed :)

I emailed Steve. We can always do some quickie tutorials for the newsletter, but he may want to do something more comprehensive.

If you have any specific topics you want covered, suggest them here. I'll try to get answers to any specific questions you have.

Cheers,

Hi there

Is there any chance the OStraining team could write a tutorial on building a custom installation profile, or let us know which basic one would help us out and extend it ourselves?

Thanks for the advice.

I put it on the todo list for tutorials to write. I'll try to notify you, but also watch the newsletter as we will publish it there as well.

I have also great interest to know how to create installation profile through Video if possible. Do notify us. Thanks!

It's on the list.

Cheers,
Ed
