Tim Erickson Updates on Configuration Recipes for Backdrop CMS

Staff Reporter

Tim Erickson from Triplo.co has provided an update on Configuration Recipes for Backdrop CMS, detailing their recent discussion and demonstration at Backdrop LIVE. As of now, seven recipes are available on BackdropCMS.org, designed to simplify site feature additions using configuration files and sample content. These recipes configure the Backdrop CMS core and sometimes contributed modules without adding new functionality.

Tim explains how to test and create recipes, emphasizing their ease of use and the benefits of using disposable sandbox sites for trials. He also outlines the structural components of a recipe and provides a sample use case involving a multi-location map. Despite some limitations, such as the inability to revert changes and the requirement for module management permissions, there is ongoing discussion about improving recipes and potentially renaming them for clarity.

Tim encourages community participation in creating and sharing recipes to enhance the available tools and resources. For more details, visit Backdrop CMS.
