Custom Drupal Installation Profile as a Distribution
Posted by abhisekmazumdar - October 25, 2023
When working with a custom Drupal installation profile, you have the option to declare it as a distribution. By specifying the profile as a distribution in the profilename.info.yml file, you can enable the installer to automatically select this installation profile. Here's an example:
distribution:
name: My Cool Profile
install:
theme: my_cool_theme
finish_url: /let-got-to-a-cool-page
In the above example, the distribution section is added to the profilename.info.yml file. This section includes additional options such as the distribution name, theme, and finish URL. The theme option sets the specified theme as the theme for the distribution. The finish_url option redirects the user to a specified page after the installation tasks are completed.
