Still on Drupal 7? Security support for Drupal 7 ended on 5 January 2025. Please visit our Drupal 7 End of Life resources page to review all of your options.
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. There is now a rag tag band of developers including moshe, quicksketch, webchick, and dww who add a little more each time we build an install profile.
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.
NOTE: this is not really an "end user" module. You will need to be somewhat familiar with PHP at least to the level of cut and pasting functions to create install profiles. See the handbook for an overview of How to write an install profile.
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.
As of November 2008, dww backported many of these changes to a 5--2 branch which has a similar layout / functionality.
This profile installs a site with the structure, content, permissions, etc of Drupal.org to facilitate the reproduction of bugs and testing of patches for the project modules. See What theme and modules does Drupal.org use? for the complete list.
mkdir ~/.drush
cd ~/.drush/
git clone --branch 6.x-2.x http://git.drupal.org/project/drush_make.git
Enter the following to install the profile at a Drupal root of /var/www/mydrupalorg (this installs a copy of Drupal core and all necessary modules all at once):
drush make http://bit.ly/gOT8mp --prepare-install --working-copy /var/www/mydrupalorg
(Note: could take 3 minutes or more before any output appears)
It's possible that apachesolr's SolrPhpClient library may have been put in the wrong location. If it's in /var/www/mydrupalorg/profiles/drupalorg_testing, move it to /var/www/mydrupalorg/profiles/drupalorg_testing/modules/apachesolr
Navigate to http://localhost/mydrupalorg/ and start the installation, choosing the "Drupal.org testing profile" at the beginning.
"Offload" allows sites to offload non-essential data, typically, those used for archiving, to an off-site repository, where they can be kept as needed for either
