Connect Drupal

The Silktide module for Drupal lets you open any page in the Drupal editor from Silktide, and tells Silktide to retest a page when you publish it. It supports Drupal 7 to 10. See CMS connections for what a connection does.

You need administrator access to Drupal, so you can install modules.

1. Get your key

In Silktide, open Settings, then Integrations, and choose CMS.
Choose Drupal, pick what the connection applies to, and choose Connect.
Copy the key.

2. Install the module

The module is on its project page at Drupal.org. Install it the way your site installs modules:

With Composer: run composer require 'drupal/silktide', then composer update.
From the admin screens: copy the address of the release for your Drupal version from the project page. In Drupal, open Extend, choose Install new module, and paste the address.

Drupal's guide to installing modules covers both in more detail.

Then turn it on: open Extend, tick Silktide, and choose Install.

3. Add the key

In Drupal, open Configuration.
Under Web Services, choose Silktide.
Paste the key into API key.
Choose Save Configuration.

4. Retest and check

Retest the website in Silktide. When the test finishes, open a page in the Inspector and choose Open in CMS. The page opens in the Drupal editor.

To check publishing, update a page in Drupal and publish it. Silktide starts testing that page within a few minutes.
