Drupal Recipes

Fox Valley Drupal in conjunction with other local Drupal user groups is engaging to create a collection of site-building recipes of core and contributed modules.

There are many great blog posts, training resources and tutorials already available to the Drupal community, so our intent is not to duplicate, but rather enhance and collect the "best of" examples and keep them updated. As they are deemed complete we hope to add them to the documentation at Drupal.org.

Recipes

Title Objective Participants Status
Creating a Static Drupal Site with Tome

To start with a lando instance and use tome to transition it to a static html site.
To accomplish it we will create a separate lando instance so as not to interfere with the live site/development.
Afterwards will create a gitlab repository and host the site on gitlab since it will be pure html at this point.

Configure Search API Solr with the Umami profile using Lando

Lando comes with the great benefit to share the server configuration alongside the project. We have a predictable environment to deploy in production without adding provisioning overhead on the team, especially in the case of more advanced setup like Solr, Varnish, decoupled environments, It also offers faster provisioning compared to other solutions like Vagrant.

Responsive Images

This recipe describes how to set up the Responsive Image module in Drupal 8, Breakpoints and also set up Image Styles.

What are responsive images?
Using responsive images means loading images that have been specifically sized for the user screen based on breakpoints. This practice makes websites load faster on mobile devices because image sizes are optimized for mobile devices. This is different than fluid images when large images are scaled down with CSS.

Organic SEO

Most sites need some level of search engine optimization, at least on the basic organic level. Meaning a solid structure to provide the best low maintenance approach to getting indexed and noticed for your site content as it is updated. The objective for this recipe is to outline the various modules and configurations to provide a sustainable approach to optimize with the least effort and maintenance.

Proposed
Improving User Registration/login experience

Making it simpler for users to self manage their accounts

Proposed
User Registration - Community Site

Searching Drupal.org for "user registration" you get the sense of how many questions, issues, and concerns exist around the user registration process. User registration on any Drupal site should consider using the methods described in the Drupal documentation regarding Configuring User Account Settings and have a working basic configuration.
