http://drupal.org/node/67921 talks about hook_install_configure and friends, but I can't seem to find where this hook is triggered. I tried adding it to my .profile file, but it's not getting called and a search for 'install_configure' in the code comes up blank.
I want to get this install profile stuff going, and will update the docs if someone sets me straight.

Max Bell commentedHave begun gathering resources and info to bring the installation profiles documentation into 2006-2007, I hope to have this done soon but do not plan to stop working on it for considerably longer.
If you have suggestions/ideas/want to provide feedback, test, what have you, please join us in http://groups.drupal.org/distributions -- my intentions are good, and beyond that, I'm not claiming I know what I'm doing, just that I have a computer, too much free time, and a vested interest in seeing installation profiles bring new markets to Drupal and expand on those using the product today.

RobRoy commentedI'm going to post this here instead of at the group, but the following is a sample education install profile I've begun writing for School Engine which I'm going to port over to Drupal.
Since I found out hook_configure isn't in the installer it took a little different solution to add my own form to the post-install process. Just thought I'd include this as a mini-example and hope it helps clarify anything even though it's not really filled out. Webchick probably has a more filled out example?
Comment #3
RobRoy commentedWebchick, I'm on the docs team but can't edit that installer page as it's unpublished. Can you publish it again or give me rights so I/we can help edit it?

Okay, Rob -- you are WAY ahead of me on this and it's clear I should be helping you. I unassigned myself but plan to keep working through this just the same -- the only way I'll get up on you at this stage is if you never write the docs, though. ;)

RobRoy commentedHeh, I know a little bit. Next week, I'll update the docs to try and help get people up-to-speed writing basic install profiles.

Comment #9
RobRoy commentedI updated the docs. Probably needs a once over from somebody else. I left most of webchick's GJG stuff in there and just did a revamp of the top. Setting to fixed, mark as active if it needs more love.
Also, I think we should rename profile's hook_install() to hook_profile_install() for D6. Issue at http://drupal.org/node/101008.
