    would it be posible to make a installer maker?
    to create an installer based on a installed and moldet site?

    I have to make like 40 websites with a same template and same snippets, TV etc. now it takes me almost half an hour to set up 1 site. if i could make a database snapshot and use that in the installer that my site would be up and running in notime aspecialy now that I made a script on my server that copy’s all the files to the right domain in 5 secends instead of uploading them in 10 minutes.

    or maybe a inteligend instaler where you can put template and snippet files in a folder and that the installer wil reconice thetby filename ore extention and install them in the database.

      You can modify the default install stuff with your own. The key is the setup.data.sql for the pages/snippets/etc. and the setup.info.php for other parts. What I’m doing now in fact for 3.3 test build coming up any moment now (literally... uploading after this post).
