Distributions

Note: My proposal has evolved to include a detailed schedule, glossary, and long brief about the reasons why my methodology is at least different, if not better than the existing ones. I have moved the content from this single page to the Package Management project page. The project home page links to the SoC Proposal with the schedule.

Old Titles for this project ordered by earliest (from these you can see 3 major aspects of the project):
Automated Drupal Software Appliance Builder

I'm in the midst of putting together my own installation profile, and only now realized the profile wizard is gone. What a shame!

I have create a website with 80 modules and now I need to turn it to a profile. I have used profile wizard but it didn't create the cck content types right, so I am modifying it.
Right now I have a problem when I add to hook_profiles_modules the "og" module it returns:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function _block_rehash() in /home/escolcat/agrupaments/modules/og/og.install on line 89

So far I have added the following modules:

For the past several months we have been working on a D6.x recipe for a web 2.0 style business/organization website, e.g. brochureware + portal. We have been using the old copy the database method to start new sites. However, over the holidays we decided to make profile out of the recipe. We weren’t anticipating it being that difficult, but now it’s close to done. I would like to get some opinions before we launch it officially.

You can download the entire distribution here:

I've created a custom profile with a task for submitting a form. I can't seem to get it working. The form renders and the task moves onto profile-finished but I can't call the submit hook. I've written a test version of it here.

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Hi,

i am putting together a distribution aimed at module developers. Basically it gives a quick install of developer used modules and enables certain blocks, so one does not need to bother about setting these up. This also means that its not safe for deployment on live site, its only built for devs.

I could use some conceptual help with workflow and setup. I'll outline what I'm thinking of doing, and maybe you guys can tell me if I'm on the right track, and if so, how to incorporate installation profiles into the mix.

• I've set up an SVN repository for Drupal core. When a new project is ready to begin, I check out from this repository.
• I want to then be able to do a separate checkout of a default set of modules (i.e. installation profile) into the sites/all directory. This way, I can update Drupal core independently from the project and can manage updates more easily

Hi,

Just wanted to announce the availability of the first (alpha) release of ProsePoint, a newspaper content management system.

Some things to note:

ProsePoint is a distribution built on top of Drupal 6.

It is currently alpha software and this is the first release. Hence, there are most likely all sorts of bugs and design inefficiencies. Please be welcome to try it, but use at your own risk.

It has the most customisation and add-on functionality of any distribution that I know of. The eventual aim is to have everything ready to go out of the box. No more searching for extra modules or testing of combinations of modules. Just install and go!
