extra_content
Extra Content is a demo content recipe that adds realistic nodes, media, and files so you can make a Drupal site feel alive immediately. It is designed to help teams prototype layouts, test editorial flows, and demo features without spending hours creating placeholder content.
This is the same content starter we use in More than Themes premium products - now contributed to the community as a clean, reusable recipe.
Why it stands out
- Credible demo content across multiple content types, ready to browse.
- Includes media and file entities so cards, listings, and teasers feel real.
- Ideal for quick prototypes, client demos, and QA of layouts.
Editor experience (what site builders/editors see)
Editors get a populated site with ready-made content they can clone, edit, or delete. This makes it easy to evaluate fields, views, and editorial flows without starting from a blank slate.
Front-end experience (what visitors see)
Realistic pages, cards, and listings that show how the site will look with actual content volume and variety.
What this recipe provides
- Sample nodes across Blog, Case Study, Event, News, Page, Person, and Project content types
- Sample media items in content/ for instant preview
- Sample files in content/ for instant preview
