Configuring a Varbase Site

After installing Varbase 11.0.x, there are a number of configuration areas you can adjust to tailor the site to your project requirements. Varbase provides sensible defaults through its recipes, but most settings can be customized through the Drupal administration interface or by creating custom configuration overrides.

This section covers the key configuration areas available in a Varbase site.

Configuration Sections

Navigation

Configure the admin navigation experience and define active menu trails using the Menu Position module.

URL Aliases

Set up automatic URL alias patterns using Pathauto and manage existing URL aliases across the site.

SEO Features

Configure search engine optimization features including Metatag, Schema.org structured data, Simple Sitemap, Yoast SEO, Pathauto, and Redirect.

Security Features

Configure spam protection, password policies, Security Kit (SecKit), and flood control settings.

Mailer Settings

Configure email settings using Easy Email and Symfony Mailer Lite, including SMTP configuration and email template customization.

Content Moderation and Workflows

Configure editorial workflows with content moderation states, transitions, and scheduled publishing.

JSON:API Features

Configure the JSON:API interface for headless or decoupled use cases, including authentication with Simple OAuth and API documentation.
