A media, news and magazine site template for newsrooms, publishers and editorial teams, built the Drupal recipe-first way, with the Vartheme BS5 Rightup front-end theme.
What you get
An editorial site built with Drupal Canvas out of the Vartheme BS5 Rightup components, with ready-made patterns editors can drop onto any page.
- Drupal CMS recipes: admin UI, authentication, media, forms, search, SEO basic and SEO tools, accessibility tools, anti-spam and privacy.
- Varbase base recipes: users, admin, security, media, editor, content, workflow, SEO, webform, page, blog and performance.
- Vartheme BS5 Rightup installed and set as the default theme, with the front page set to /home.
What is in the box
- Pages ready to publish: a home page with a live feed ticker, section landing pages, news and podcast listings, article and podcast episode pages, search results, newsletter, about and contact, and the policy pages the footer links to.
- News and podcasts: articles with categories, tags, authors and media, and podcast episodes with audio and transcripts.
- A live feed ticker an editor curates from an entity queue, falling back to the newest published content, so publishing an article reaches the home page without anyone editing it.
- Search that filters: a results page with category, content type and date filters, and inline filters on the news listing.
- A header and footer built from the design: main and offcanvas navigation, newsletter call to action, social links and a copy-page-link control.
Editorial work is what the recipe is built around. News and podcasts arrive as content types of their own, with categories, tags and media handling already wired, and Entityqueue lets editors curate what appears where rather than leaving every listing to date order. Drupal Canvas content templates ship per view mode — a news card, four sizes of featured card, the full podcast view — so a newly published item renders the way the design intended without anyone laying it out.
Installing it composes 26 recipes in one pass: the Drupal CMS set for the admin UI, authentication, media, forms, search, SEO and accessibility tools, the Varbase base recipes for users, security, editor, content, workflow, webform and performance, and Easy Email Express for transactional mail. Vartheme BS5 Rightup is installed and set as the default theme. The result is a site that is ready to publish rather than ready to configure.
