Profile Manager
draft notes about profile manager feature.
Intro
Installation profiles is a feature that existed in Tiki for many years. It worked well to use but creating a profile was not easy enough as you needed to run a shell script (mk_profile.sh). Thus, we only had a handful of profiles, none of which were pro-actively maintained or very useful. In June 2008, Louis-Philippe Huberdeau took up the challenge and you can follow progress on http://profiles.tikiwiki.org
The old mk_profile.sh script will be retired.Wishlist
Export current configuration via GUI(to make it easy to create some)
- Settings
- Groups but not users
- Permissions
- Default home page
- Default settings for new forums, image galleries, etc
What about?
- Custom menus (ML: very good idea because some profiles (ex.: corporate site, events) have consistent base menu
- Forums, etc. pre-created
- Help data (like in wiki page)
- Tracker definitions and some wiki pages to use
- Galaxia Workflows?
More ideas
- dthacker was suggesting a "Profile Snapshot tool"
- Maybe use TikiTests as a Wizard to setup features? (and have built-in test!)
- Reset to defaults (ex: after upgrade). So everything should be in lib/pref (vs sql)
- Content of default home page.
- split plugin and modules in a wiki page
- directly tiki articles as home page
- etc
- Potential issues
