University of Cambridge install profile

This install profile contains everything required for a University of Cambridge Drupal site (such as the University's house style and Raven authentication), and includes a variety of modules commonly used (such as Workbench, Media and CKEditor). Some modules are pre-configured, others are bundled; important patches are also applied to some modules where there hasn't been a new stable release.

Installing a new Drupal site

In a fresh copy of Drupal extract the contents of this profile to /profiles/cambridge/, then follow the normal Drupal installation process. On the first screen you will see the option to use the Cambridge install profile:

Select profile

(If you have an existing site, presumably using one of Drupal's bundled install profiles, and would like to switch to this install profile, you can Google how to do it. It won't configure the site, but can be useful if you would like to use the modules provided by the profile.)

Updating the profile

New versions of the profile will be released every couple of months (sooner if there are security fixes), containing updates to modules (including patches), as well as new modules/functionality.

When updating the profile, replace the whole contents of the /profiles/cambridge/ folder then run Drupal's update process.

You shouldn't normally make changes to the /profiles/cambridge/ folder (including trying to updates profile-provided modules through Drupal's update manager), as you may run into problems trying to update the profile in the future.

If you do need a different version of a module to what the profile provides, however, you can override it by placing your version in your site's folder (so one of /sites/all/modules/, /sites/default/modules/ or /sites/www.mysite.cam.ac.uk/modules/). When the profile is updated to include the new version you should then remove your override and let Drupal revert back to using the profile's version.

List of currently included modules

There have been requests in earlier versions of the Profile for a full list of supported / included modules in the Profile, so with the release of version 1.7 we are now including this. The list of included modules is as follows:
