Drupal CMS Extra

This repository is an enhanced distribution of the official Drupal CMS, developed by More than Themes. It builds upon the standard Drupal CMS by incorporating additional themes, sample content, and pre-configured layouts to provide a richer out-of-the-box experience.

Getting Started

You have two options to set up and use this enhanced Drupal CMS distribution:

Option 1: Composer-Based Installation (Recommended for Developers)

This method uses Composer to download all assets (Drupal core, modules, themes, etc.) and assumes Composer is available in your environment. The repository is already preconfigured for local development using DDEV, which is recommended.

Prerequisites:

• Composer
• DDEV (optional but suggested)

Installation Steps:

git clone https://github.com/morethanthemes/drupal-cms-extra.git
cd drupal-cms-extra

ddev config --project-type=drupal11 --docroot=web
ddev start
ddev composer install
ddev composer setup-site
ddev launch

If not using DDEV, ensure your local environment meets Drupal system requirements and adjust the commands accordingly.

Option 2: Pre-Packaged ZIP Installation (No Composer Required)

For users without Composer or those seeking a simpler installation process, we provide pre-packaged ZIP files that include all necessary files.

Installation Steps:

1. Download the latest release from: 👉 https://github.com/morethanthemes/drupal-cms-extra/releases/latest
2. Extract the ZIP file into your web server's root directory.
3. Make sure your environment meets the Drupal's system requirements.
4. Open your site in a browser and follow the Drupal installation wizard.
5. During installation, make sure to enable all available features (recipes).
6. Complete the installation process as guided.
7. Enable the corporateclean theme and set it as the default.
8. Enable the following modules:
   • block_content
   • default_content
   • simple_styleguide
9. Go to Extend > Recommended and install the Extra UX recipe.
