Config Pages: The Missing Admin UI for Your Custom Site Settings

Config Pages: The Missing Admin UI for Your Custom Site Settings

Most custom features in Drupal need settings, but too often, those settings are hidden behind broad admin permissions, hardcoded into modules or themes, or require custom forms just to expose them. In this session, we will explore the Config Pages module, a clean and maintainable solution to manage structured settings through site building tools and the Field API. We will cover use cases like managing site-wide alerts, global contact information, and quick links, demonstrating examples built with U.S. Web Design System (USWDS). You’ll learn how Config Pages improves the editorial experience through tightly scoped permissions that show editors only what they need and giving developers full control over how and where settings appear in Twig templates or as configurable blocks.
