Is there any multiple template/extension single install pack for Joomla?

Question

Is there any way to install template/plugin/module in one pack. There are many options to install extensions/plugins/modules http://jeffchannell.com/Joomla/install-multiple-joomla-extensions-in-a-single-package.html http://digitalvariants.blogspot.com/2011/01/installing-multiple-joomla.html

as single install but simply none and no way to do this when installing a Joomla! template

Answer 1

Joomla 1.6+ support packages which allow you to combine several zip's for extensions etc into a single zip package.

See: http://docs.joomla.org/Package

Answer 2

You can do this with Akeeba backup.

Akeeba packages everything in your site -- articles, categories, plugins, modules, menus, database, templates, etc. It generates an installable ZIP file. This file can be used to re-install your entire site if you needed to. But I also use it to create "base" installations of Joomla.

Your procedure would be like this:

1. Create a base Joomla installation
2. Install all the extensions you want (including Akeeba)
3. Create a backup ZIP
4. Unpack the ZIP on your server (or upload via ftp)
5. Go through installation procedure just like a "native" Joomla installation
