Configuration

A description of some of the out-of-the-box configuration that is done once you've installed a new site based on this profile. The site has limited customization for a particular style of site, although the basics are closest to perhaps a corporate blog or similar limited interactivity system. Appropriate for various types of content- or data-driven sites.

• a "tags" vocabulary is created and applied to blog, story, and image content types
• a front page Story is posted with the title of "Welcome"
• a default Page type is created titled "About"
• the About page and the Contact form are added to a new Secondary links menu at the top of your theme. The Primary links are left unconfigured for you to modify as you add content and design your site.
• User profiles are configured to include a Full Name, Website, and Interests fields
• The creation of Contributor and Site Admin roles
• Permissions set for all roles. Anonymous and authenticated members can only add comments, while the Contributor role can work with blogs. Site Admins have full access.
• The TinyMCE and Img_Assist plugins are configured with default collections of buttons and settings: a Comment profile for anonymous visitors, a Basic profile for Contributors, and an Advanced profile for Site Admins.
