Introduction to Configuration Management in Drupal by WebWash
Ivan Zugec of WebWash conducted a comprehensive live stream titled "Getting Started with Configuration Management in Drupal CMS," aimed at helping users understand and implement configuration management in Drupal. The session begins with an overview of what configuration management is and demonstrates how to import and export configurations through the Drupal admin interface. It then shifts focus to command-line workflows using Drush, including configuration export, import, and using configuration split via `settings.php`
.
The stream also covers using modules such as Field Group to organize fields, Block Content and Simple Block for managing block structures, and Config Ignore to selectively exclude configuration from export, such as webforms. Each segment includes step-by-step demonstrations, such as editing content, exporting changes, managing configuration dependencies, and handling broken blocks. The session concludes with a summary and key Drush commands. The video includes timestamps and links to related Drupal modules, providing a practical guide for site builders and developers managing configuration workflows.
