- Fingerprint module and server - bringing settings dumps to Drupal
Fingerprint is part of ModuleCraft. A project we started to raise awareness and funds for a set of awesome Drupal tools for the community. If you haven't heard about it go check it out. To show you that we have the determination and the knowledge to go trough with all our promises, we already started developing some of the tools. The first wave was the Cardgame, and now here's the second: For some time now we have the ability to represent some of Drupal's settings in code with Features. As time goes by, more and more modules integrate the necessary hooks and get all the advantages of being exportable. We saw in this the ideal tool to make a configuration dump for Drupal, a bit like the crash report with all the settings that you can get from most desktop software. But fingerprint is more than that: it exports all the settings in a searchable and easily readable format: XML. This format is not for importing or backuping, but it gives you the ability to search similarities and differences in two Drupal site, to find bugs, best practices or changes that happened to your site.
