Custom Install Files
I'm looking to modify the install process to include my template as default. Has anyone done this?
Re: Custom Install Files
Bad idea.
Just install CMSMS, import your template and set it as default.

I'm not sure why it is a bad idea if you are not skilled enough to know the answer?
Re: Custom Install Files
It would imply a hack of the core/installer and it's not allowed to post those hacks in this forum. Nor would the install be supported.
I would setup the cmsms with all my favorite templates and settings and dump database and copy files.
Setting a new site up would then take only a few steps:
Setup hosting
Setup database
Copy files
Change database settings in config.php
Import database dump (which requires access to a database import utility, often phpmyadmin).
Optional steps:
Change password of admin/editors
If using CGSmartImage module check the settings; iirc it stores a path to for cached images that won't change dynamically.
If using LI2 module: research/refresh field definitions

Re: Custom Install Files
I like that idea. So how long do you think that would take for each domain? I'm looking to do that 40 times... then make a few simple changes and do that install 40 more times... that process 5 times. 5 minutes starts to add up real fast.
Cheers

CMSMS is not a white label cms.
we do not support you're re-branding it for your clients.

[edit: removed]
1- If you can't do it... don't tell me I can't.
2- I do not work for Clients... I am my own web manager. I own over 400 domains, most of which are active and most of which I manage myself.
I'm looking for a bit of help as I am not Php or Sql proficient. I'm looking for direction and I will break it and then fix what I break. I understand this is not supported. I'm not looking for tech support to do this for me.
