Install Profile API and Profile Wizard

Boris Mann - March 31, 2007 - 07:05

A set of helper functions (aka CRUD) that make it easier to work with Drupal data structures by providing some wrapper functions. Include crud.inc in your install profile to use them. crud.inc was originally developed and maintained by Boris Mann of Bryght.

Please help by getting similar functions into core for Drupal 7. Please ask for co-maintainer status if you are also developing install profiles and would like to contribute.

As of July 2007, a Profile Wizard that helps generate .profile files based around the crud.inc file is also included in this project. Profile Wizard was created by Jean-Sébastien Senécal of Koumbit.

As of July 2008, we've turned install profile API into an actual module, so you can depend on it in your install profiles. See In progress changes to Install Profile API for D6 for further discussion.

Further discussion on install profiles takes place in the Distribution profiles group.
