History: User Input

• «
• »

            Some profiles require minor modifications to be usable. For example, a writer may want to choose the name of his blog or a webmaster may want to change the contact information. Profiles allow to include user requests inside profiles. If they are not provided, a default value is used. The syntax to do so is:

^$profilerequest:''Label of the value requested''$''Default value''$^

The label must be unique as if reused in multiple profiles, the same value will be used for all of them when installing profiles with dependencies.
