Web-based file browser and syntax-highlighted editor for editing theme files directly from the Drupal admin UI.

Overview

The Theme File Editor module provides a web-based interface for viewing and editing theme files directly within the Drupal administrative UI.
With its built-in file browser and syntax-highlighted editor,
this module makes it easier for site administrators and developers to manage custom theme code without requiring direct server or FTP access.

Features

  • Browse theme directories and files from the Drupal admin panel.
  • Edit files with syntax highlighting for improved readability and fewer mistakes.
  • Save changes directly from the interface — no FTP or SSH required.
  • Lightweight, in-browser editing experience designed for quick tweaks and maintenance.

Use Cases

  • Make quick theme tweaks and adjustments without server access.
  • Provide site builders with a convenient way to edit templates or CSS during development.
  • Work in environments where direct file system access is restricted or inconvenient.

Requirements

  • Appropriate file permissions for the web server user so the module can read and write theme files.

Security Notice

Important: This module grants direct access to theme files. Only enable and grant access to trusted administrators.
Improper edits can break site functionality or create security issues. Consider restricting access by role and using this module in trusted environments only.
