"Save configuration as" and "Load configuration" on modules page
Ben__ - January 3, 2008 - 23:04
After a few Drupal updates I realized that I always ignored two "how to update Drupal" steps (always had luck, went well every time):
* Disable all contributed modules
* re-enable'em
Thats pretty annoying, I mean I have a site with ~40 Modules. I would have to make a 67 points checklist first and klick them all step by step.
I think if i could "save" my configuration (which module is enabled) in a xml file, do the update stuff and then "load" this file, this could save me about an hour or more with every drupal version update. Plus I would feel better because cooking my own checklist with pencil&paper may always be a source for a mistake.
How do you do that?
makes sense to me
not to mention it's incredibly annoying to mark all those checkboxes exactly in the right spot each.
the selection could be like Gmail: you can click anywhere in the row and the corresponding checkbox switches on/off. you can click the first then shift-click the last (useful for modules like CCK, UC or OG which have tons of contrib modules).
AND as a friend of mine pointed out, there could be a checkbox on the module's fieldset like: "enable the entire module". a single checkbox you could click and make all of the module's contribs enabled.
anyone else?
