Installation profiles

Installation profiles are a feature in Drupal core that was added in the 5.x series. The Drupal installer allows you to specify an installation profile which defines which modules should be enabled, and can customize the new installation after they have been installed. This will allow customized "distributions" that enable and configure a set of modules that work together for a specific kind of site (Drupal for bloggers, Drupal for musicians, Drupal for developers, and so on).

FilmForge

FilmForge is a distribution (or profile) of the Free/Libre Open Source Softare content management system Drupal, tailored to the needs of videomaking communities. FilmForge makes it simple to install and run your own video sharing site.

FilmForge has a publicly viewable test install at http://filmforge.koumbit.net.

For developers working on the project, or for those interested in looking under the hood, there is a list of To Do items and development notes here: http://wiki.koumbit.net/FilmForge/ToDo.

For those who want to help maintain the FilmForge drupal installation profile, it lives here: http://wiki.koumbit.net/FilmForge/DrupalProfile.

Em Space Profiles

These are the profiles used by http://emspace.com.au

We are currently consolidating different techniques into a basic theme. For now you should consider this code unsupported and unfinished.

DrupalMU

DrupalMU is an installation profile that creates a multi-user blogging platform.
You can follow its development at the multi-user blogging group.

Currently the following modules are being used:

And these themes:

Single-User Blog

NB. This is currently being reworked for D6 from the start..

The Single-User Blog install profile's goal is to set up a site with basic blogging features. Instead of forcing the user to accept hardcoded options, the profile offers the user various options to customise their install, such as selecting from a choice of pathauto paths, allowing the user to set up the site information, possibly change the colour of the template etc. Sample content is also added.

The profile doesn't depend on the blog module, instead leveraging views and a basic nodetype.

The handling of inline images is an often debated issue, not just in the Drupal community, and as of yet, it's not decided how the profile will handle images - see the relevant issues in the queue.

The Required modules will be fairly basic as a starting point, but include the use of:
Token
Pathauto
Views

The original profile was written by herenbdy for the GHOP 2007 contest, and is now being developed by George2.

SQL

This is a very simple install profile. You can use it to copy a site from your dev server to your deployment server. It reads the SQL file query by query (split by ";" at the end of lines) so it shouldn't run out of memory, or time-out (like PHPMyAdmin will on big dumps if you upload them)

You need to create a PHPMyAdmin dump (or mysql dump, if you know what you are doing) of your running site.

Here are the settings for PHPMyAdmin :

  • Select all tables
  • Structure: DROP (and nothing else), Data: Complete Inserts, Extended Inserts (and nothing else), Save As File: SQL

After you create this dump, put it in the same dir as the install profile as site.sql.

Install with the profile, then move (or delete) the sql file out of your webroot.

Projectverse

Projectverse is an installation profile for creating a Drupal-based project management extranet. It currently uses Drupal core, CCK, Views, Organic Groups, Case Tracker and other helper modules to create a groupware environment.

Most of the functionality and design philosophy behind Projectverse is drawn from an existing groupware site (code-named Project Central) that has evolved over time to meet the needs of Drupal services firms and their clients.

In light of the release of Open Atrium, this project has been abandoned.

GLORilla.com installation profile

The GLORilla.com installation profile

This installation profile is a port of the CMS Joomla!.

You can see the CMS GLORilla.com demo at GLORilla.com or download this CMS full installation with all needed modules.

The installation profile GLORilla.com is currently only supported for Drupal 5.x, however we will be releasing a version for 6.x as soon as we have the time to make the appropriate changes.

If you have any comments or suggestions, write that to us at
Feature Requests.

This installation profile was developed by http://www.fireflystream.com/
