The goal of the Illinois Drupal Framework is to let people rapidly create and deploy an accessible Illinois branded Drupal website that includes a common set of features. The ability to setup and maintain a Drupal website is required to use this framework. An example site that showcases the features of this distribution can be found at https://drupal.webtheme.illinois.edu/.
The preferred way to install the Illinois Drupal Framework is via Composer. Please refer to our Composer-based project template for instructions.
The Illinois Drupal Framework pulls together contributed modules, a custom theme, and custom configuration to build an out-of-the-box functional Drupal website.
The Illinois Framework Theme is designed to be accessible and meet the current campus branding standards. If customization is needed, you can create a sub-theme that modifies only the parts needed.
The Illinois Framework Core module defines what contrib modules are included, along with the default content types that come with the framework.
The default set of content types included are:
- Content Page
- News
- Blog
- Spotlight
- Highlighted courses
- Award/Award Winner
The framework also makes use of Paragraphs for page layout and customization.
Please refer to the Illinois Framework Core repo for a list of included contrib modules.
