Configuration Recipes

In short, config recipes are simple modules that add functionality to your site mostly by adding some prepared configuration. They do not add new features that are not already available through Backdrop Core or existing contrib modules. 

Available config recipes at this time:

Adding Logic to Your Site with Rules Module

The Rules module is a module that allows site architects to create action/reaction events that would normally require writing custom code. Some of the things you can do with the rules module include:

1) Sending an email to a site editor anytime someone creates a new article or comment.

2) Automatically assigning a special role to anyone who creates a new account. 

3) Automatically unpublish content after a certain time frame.

4) Automatically assign a node to someone other than the author. 

Backdrop for Beginners - Views (dynamic lists of your content)

The views module is a powerful tool that allows site administrators to create complicated and dynamic displays of their content without writing any code or knowledge of database queries. 

  • Create a basic view
  • Filter your data with views
  • Sort your data with views
  • Rewriting your data in views
  • What happens if there is no data in your view (no results)
  • Contextual Filters
  • Relationships
  • Views header and footer
  • View pagers

Decoupled Blocks with Drupal, Backdrop, and React

Over the last few months I decided to start building some of the decoupled blocks that I've been hearing about at Drupal events.  After getting the Drupal version working I wondered about how I would put the same block into a Backdrop site.  So I changed the module to be a Backdrop module instead of a Drupal module.

After that project I had a Backdrop site that had information I wanted to share inside a Drupal site.  I reversed the process, making a decoupled Backdrop block first and then changing the module to be a Drupal module.
