WILDFIRE 5 ADMIN THEME

Wildfire 5 is based on Drupal 9, whereas Wildfire 4 was based on Drupal 7. I ported Wildfire 4’s admin theme over to version 5. Both iterations are based on Drupal core’s Seven theme.

MY ROLE

Wildfire is a custom-made Drupal distribution that allows communities worldwide to build websites in their heart languages. I joined our distributed team when work on Wildfire 5 had just begun. Porting the admin theme over from version 4 was my first major task. More recently, I collaborated on the creation of two additional visual themes, as well as administrative modules, including:
  • Reporting on website status and contents.
  • Modifying the language configuration user interface. For example, a website manager can now disable one or more (non-default) website languages without having to delete them completely.
