An education site template for schools, universities, academies and e-learning platforms, built on the Varbase distribution with the Vartheme BS5 Educare front-end theme.
Start from a Varbase ~11.0.0 project:
composer create-project drupal/varbase_project:~11.0.0 PROJECT_DIR_NAME --no-dev --no-interactionThen add the Educare site template:
composer require drupal/educare:1.0.x-devmkdir my_educare_site
cd my_educare_site
ddev config --project-type=drupal11 --docroot=web --php-version=8.4
ddev start
ddev composer create-project "drupal/varbase_project:~11.0.0"
ddev composer require drupal/educare:1.0.x-dev
ddev launchFinish the installation in the browser and choose Educare in the Choose a site template step.
Educare is a type: Site recipe: it is applied during the site install, by the site-template
picker — not with drush recipe on a site that is already installed.
A fully configured education website — home, programs, admissions, research, student life, events, news and contact pages — built with Drupal Canvas on the Vartheme BS5 Educare components, with ready-made patterns that content editors can place on any page.
The template does not reinvent what Varbase already provides. It composes the base recipes and adds only what is Educare's:
| Section | Comes from |
|---|---|
| Events — the Event content type, the events listing, related events | Varbase Events Base |
| News — the News content type and its listing | Varbase News Base |
| Pages, media, editor, workflow, SEO, search, forms, privacy, admin UI | the varbase_* and drupal_cms_* base recipes |
| The look of it all | Vartheme BS5 Educare |
Educare itself owns its theme, its pages and patterns, its demo content, and the theme repointing: the Canvas templates that the base recipes ship against the base theme are repointed onto Vartheme BS5 Educare with the config actions from Varbase Recipes.
- Drupal ~11.4, PHP 8.4
