Anatomy of info.yaml Files

For a general overview of YAML syntax, head over to YAML.org or the Wikipedia page. It should be fairly intuitive, however.

Modules

name: My Module
url: http://example.com/
version: 2.0.1
description: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.
author:
  name: Testy McTesticles
  url: http://mysite.com/
conflicts:
  - his_module
notifications:
  - This is shown when they enable my module.
  - So is this.
confirm: Do you want to delete all the whatnot that My Module created?

notifications, conflicts, and confirm are all optional. conflicts is a list of modules (based on their folder name) that this module conflicts with. A red line will be drawn between them at the Extend > Modules page to indicate that they conflict.

Feathers

name: Snufflupugus
url: http://thismustbeanimportantfeathertohaveitsownwebsite.com/
version: 2.0.1
description: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.
author:
  name: Testy McTesticles
  url: http://mysite.com/
notifications:
  - This is shown when they enable my module.
  - So is this.
confirm: Do you want to delete all the whatnot that My Module created?
plural: snufflupugii

notifications, confirm, and plural are all optional. plural is the plural form of the name of the feather, if the pluralize() function gets it wrong. For example, the plural of a feather named “audio” is still “audio”.

Themes

name: Chyrp Theme
url: http://foobar.com/
version: 1.0
author:
  name: Testy McTesticles
  url: http://mysite.com/
