[support] Site Documentation Module?

[Bob at TurnerPCC.com]

Thank you.  This is a very basic site. As far as I know we have not created 
PHP, no theme changes, and no CSS changes.   Using Bartik theme.   I've been 
dealing with Linux and Drupal for a little under a year, VMware much longer 
(snapshots are great).   It’s a non-profit club site.  One person does html 
and javascript (not me), and one person does system administration OS 
patches, setup port fwd rules, monitor disk space, upgrade Drupal modules, 
bug fix, etc.  That person is me.  I'm also part of the help desk.

My estimate of the problem is that the page is too complex and browsers are 
getting confused interpreting the javascript sendMessage with all else going 
on.  I'm hoping the developer fixes it.  In the meantime, I'm thinking of 
using VMWare to make a copy of the server and/or Drupal to make a copy of 
the page in case I make the problem worse.  Then manually strip out the 
javascript and use an HTML Mailto syntax.  It’s a very basic job.  Just add 
the to address and set the subject.  This may be off topic...

But to bring it back on topic, I'm looking for a Site Documentation Module. 
I've come to the conclusion the best I can do it take screen shots of the 
various configuration pages.

Have a look at your tables, I'd not expect either js or HTML in them,
aside from cache tables and maybe fragments of PHP & HTML you created
yourself for special effects.

Drupal separates data, business logic and presentation; business logic
is done in PHP modules and presentation in themes and CSS.

Site admins customise the business logic using content types, rules and
so on, and the presentation by customising themes, and mostly those
customisations are stored in tables too, with some in files (some themes
store colour information in files, I have noticed).


_I_ don't know whether there is the kind of module you need, by I could
create any special reports I might need for diagnosis using the standard
commandline tools, or maybe a generic database dump of particular tables
would suffice.
