The page referred to is for Drupal 7, which is EOL. And for currently supported versions of Drupal, there is Configuration API → documentation.
The Configuration Management Initiative has changed its approach, which has rendered the Configuration Management documentation out-of-date.
In earlier versions of Drupal 8.x, the active configuration was stored on disk in YAML files, with a cached version (defaulting to the database) used for accessing the values on normal pages.
Now the default configuration is stored in a database table, while import/synchronization and export still operate via YAML files.
The documentation does not reflect this change and needs to be updated.
The change record is located at: https://drupal.org/node/1861064
About five people at DrupalCon Austin created the following list of remaining tasks. The main work to be done is to review the current documentation and update it to reflect the new state of the Configuration Management Initiative.
If you'd like to work on the Configuration Management documentation, please review the tasks below and make your improvements directly to the community docs node.
If you don't understand the functionality well enough to improve the documentation, please add a comment with your questions. Those of us working on the project will try to improve the documentation based on that feedback.
Suggested improvements to the documentation:
On "Configuration Management" page:
None.
None.
In addition to CMI functionality provided in core, there is a contributed module. This meta issue focuses on the core module.
Closed: outdated
Correction/Clarification
Primarily changes documentation, not code. For Drupal core issues, select the Documentation component instead of using this tag. In general, component selection is preferred over tag selection.
It would make a good project for someone who is new to the Drupal contribution process. It's preferred over Newbie.
Not all content is available!
It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.
