Problem/Motivation

New Varbase installations need demo content to showcase features and provide a working starting point for evaluation. Currently, demo content is provided through the varbase_demo module, but this approach doesn't align with modern Drupal's recipe-first architecture.

We need a standalone recipe that provides demo content for Varbase sites, making it easier for users to:

  • Evaluate Varbase features and capabilities
  • Get a working starting point with sample blog posts
  • See how Varbase integrates with Drupal CMS blog functionality
  • Test and demonstrate Varbase without committing to production content

Proposed resolution

  • Provides 12 sample blog posts with featured images, tags, and descriptions
  • Includes 28 taxonomy terms (blog tags and categories)
  • Uses the standard Drupal CMS - Byte "blog" content type
  • Depends on Varbase Media Assets recipe for demo media files
  • Follows Drupal CMS recipe patterns and structure
  • Contains only content files (no config) for maximum flexibility

Remaining tasks

  • ✅ File an issue about this project
  • ✅ Addition/Change/Update/Fix to this project
  • ✅ Testing to ensure no regression
  • ✅ Automated unit/functional testing coverage
  • ➖ Developer Documentation support on feature change/addition
