This module is abandoned! When this module was created, hook_update_N was the recommended process for updating sites. Now that there's Exportable everything: Views/Panels/CCK, Strongarm for variables, etc, capturing form macros is a very messy way of deploying changes to a site.
For modules that don't store their settings with variables, work should push towards making all data exportable.
About
This module is a collection of tools to help site builders manage their inevitable site-specific custom module. It is in the early idea stages, and came about by my determination to finally find a sound, secure, and generic solution for migrating the diverse array of database changes from a developer install to a live production site.
Right now its just one module, but I figured it would be nice to have a place to add more things as we go along.
custom_module_updates.module
This module tracks captures from form submissions when desired and saves them, in order, to an update function for your custom module.
The idea is to capture all web-based site changes done on Development servers and allow them to be repeated automatically via update.php on Production servers.
Requirements
- macro.module
- Your own custom module, specific for your website
DDEV is the official local development tool of Drupal. And like Drupal, DDEV depends on the support of the open source community.
