how to do configuration changes in site dynamically or through module

Posted by ankit.goyal5 on June 13, 2012 at 1:50pm

suppose we have given build on stage server and so latest changes are there in stage environment.
In the next build i want to change some configuration settings , one method to do that is after every build i can change it in stage environment manually.
But i dont want to do that.
Is there any method or module to do this task?

Either: Make every UI change

Either: Make every UI change on the target server that you make on dev
OR: You look into features.module and release changes using change control.

Neither are trivial.
If you do it by hand - you can probably manage it on small sites and it's in your head.
If you want change control management, features-based-management will help you with 70% of the changes you want to push forward. Pretty well.
Or 'patterns' http://drupal.org/project/patterns but that hasn't got enough weight behind it.

but in short, there is no short answer.
