Drupal Advent Calendar Day 7: Base Recipe Introduces Core Modules and Themes

Drupal Advent Calendar

The seventh day of the Drupal Advent Calendar introduces the "Base Recipe," a foundational component of the Starshot initiative for Drupal CMS. Authored by James Shields, the article highlights the significance of the Base Recipe as a preinstalled set of essential modules and themes designed to streamline the development process and establish a consistent baseline for future site customization. Key functionalities include the automatic inclusion of the Pathauto module, enabling URL alias automation, and the ECA (Event Condition Action) module, which supports graphical automation and login redirection for anonymous users. 

The Trash module allows for easy restoration of deleted content, while the Gin admin theme offers a modernized user interface for site administration. Navigation enhancements are provided via the core Navigation module, and administrative search is streamlined with the Coffee module. The Linkit module facilitates internal linking within CKEditor, and the Focal Point module ensures image cropping maintains focus on key subjects. Future improvements aim to enhance site search, enable auto-saving for in-progress form submissions, and support HTML-formatted emails. The initiative is led by Pamela Barone, CTO of Technocrat and a key figure in Starshot’s governance.
