How to remove a profile

posts: 40


Following installation profiles can be added (example Company_Intranet). They are easy to add but how can I delete one ?

I asked around and found that there is no easy way to remove a profile (yet). This feature is still "beta" and apparently, at this time, the only way is to individually undo the things that were done by the profile installation.

I was faced with this problem today. Not a big deal to roll back to my previous config, since I had backed up my database and file system.

If you're going to mess around with profiles, you'll need to create a sandbox environment that won't affect your main development or production environments, and in which you can play with profiles till your heart is content. You need to create a sandbox copy of your tiki folder, and you need to create a sandbox database to which you can link your sandbox environment, because if you apply a profile it will update your tiki database, and you don't want any experimental changes affect to your main environment.

Is this still valid?

Yes, still valid.

Profiles have been stable (no longer beta) for quite a while now, but having a rollback is not planned for the reasons explained here: http://profiles.tiki.org/Profile+Rollback

In a nutshell: Having an easy way to know what changed and to restore preferences and settings is a desirable thing. However, this is not the job of profiles. This is the job of the system log.
