Pieter Beulque Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 JSON Installer is a module that allows you to define installer scripts in JSON. The module has proven its use when either setting up a big website for a client (it's easier to type all pages in a JSON-file than to create them all with the click-heavy ProcessWire admin) or doing repeated tasks. At We Work We Play we always do the same kind of setup (create a configuration page, add SEO & sharing fields, an 'Under Construction'-toggle) so this module automates this for us. Huge timesaver. How to install: Download from: https://github.com/weworkweplay/ProcessJSONInstaller Place the file ProcessJSONInstaller.module in your /site/modules/ directory. In ProcessWire admin, click to 'Modules' and 'Check for new modules'. Click 'install' next to the 'JSON Installer' module (under heading 'Process'). Following that, you'll see a new menu option for this module on your Admin > Setup menu. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soma Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 You would even save more time when creating a profile of your basic setup. Next time install it with the profile and you're ready. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieter Beulque Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 Well, that makes sense. To be honest I didn't think of that. However, this gives you the choice of what to install and what not. It's a small difference. Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe link to this thread as the official support thread from the module's page in the modules directory? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owzim Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Seems like an excellent module. I had some problems though, see https://github.com/weworkweplay/ProcessJSONInstaller/issues/3 https://github.com/weworkweplay/ProcessJSONInstaller/issues/4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieter Beulque Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 Just a heads up, these bugs have been resolved and @owzim is being a great contributor to the project. What JSON setups would the community like to see? I'd love to add more to the default installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owzim Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Hehe my weekend has been occupied by contributing to this module =) I'd suggest to have a separate repo for the JSON setups and only leave those in the actual repo which show all the different features.
