Plugin Profile

This Wiki Plugin adds an install button for installing a profile. It allows a profile to be installed from anywhere, instead of only via the profile admin interface (tiki-admin.php?page=profiles).

Profiles are used to automate configuration of a site, turning on feature sets and permissions schemes and adding content. This way a site can be configured with a single click rather than 100s of clicks. See profiles.tikiwiki.org for more information.

Limitations

It only installs the named profile, not its dependencies (if any)
After applying the profile, it returns on the same page from which it was called (it means it ignores going to the Instructions page (if any))
It doesn't have the edit plugin helper icon displayed (even if "Disable edit plugin icon (make plugin inline)" is not checked on tiki-admin.php?page=textarea&cookietab=2
