Drupal 7.x template for Platform.sh
This project provides a starter kit for Drupal 7 projects hosted on Platform.sh.
This example is based on using the Drush Make build profile.
You can see there is not much in terms of files committed to this repository. You can learn (much) more on Platform.sh Drupal Hosting Documentation
Starting a new project
To start a new Drupal 7 project on Platform.sh, you have 2 options:
-
Create a new project through the Platform.sh user interface and select "start new project from a template". Then select Drupal 7 as the template. That will create a new project using this repository as a starting point.
-
Take an existing project, add the necessary Platform.sh files, and push it to a Platform.sh Git repository. This template includes examples of how to set up a Drupal 7 site using Drush.
Using as a reference
You can also use this repository as a reference for your own Drupal projects, and borrow whatever code is needed. The most important parts are the .platform.app.yaml file and the .platform directory.
Repository structure
This is the whole layout of the repository (it will still make for a perfectly functional web site on http://platform.sh !)
.platform/
/routes.yaml
/services.yaml
libraries/
/README.txt
modules/
/README.txt
themes/
/README.txt
.platform.app.yaml
project.make
The .platform directory and .platform.app.yaml file are the Platform.sh-specific configuration. Please see the documentation for more information on those.
The libraries, modules, and themes directories are technically optional, but where you would put any custom or forked libraries, modules, or themes that you want to include in your project when it gets built by Drush make. Modules or themes from Drupal.org that you want to use unmodified should be specified in the project.make file instead.
