#Tasty Backend Installation Profile Readme

What are Drupal Installation Profiles?

Installation profiles provide site features and functions for a specific type of site as a single download containing Drupal core, contributed modules, themes, and pre-defined configuration. They make it possible to quickly set up a complex, use-specific site in fewer steps than if installing and configuring elements individually. --Using Installation Profiles - Drupal.org

What does the Tasty Backend Installation Profile do?

Focuses on providing clients and content managers with a simplified, easy to use, delicious and overall useful experience on their site.

It's born of the frustration I had when originally developing with Drupal back in the day, and thinking "Wowsa, this is powerful!" Then, "Oh crap, I need to hide most of this so my tech-phobic clients can just do what they need to do."

• Creates 2 usertypes(Content admin and User Admin) and sets initial permissions for each automatically.
• Selects the easy to use admin theme - Seven and enables the handy admin toolbar.
• Creates a bunch of useful new views that focus on essential info
• Puts pretty much everything into vertical tabs.
• and so much more!
