Convivial for GovCMS

Overview

Convivial for GovCMS is Morpht’s platform for Australian Government sites on GovCMS. The project moved it from Bootstrap to Morphos, Morpht’s theme built on single directory components (SDC).

The challenge

GovCMS doesn’t allow Drupal Canvas, so page building had to stay on Paragraphs. Every paragraph type was rendering Bootstrap markup, and each one had to be rebuilt to render through the new Morphos components.

My role

• Conversion: I converted all 48 paragraph types from Bootstrap to Morphos, 19 of them rendered through single directory components.
• New components: I added extra components to the platform along the way.

The solution

Paragraphs handles layout and editing, and the SDCs handle rendering. Each paragraph type maps onto a Morphos component, so GovCMS sites use the same components as the rest of Morphos.

The impact

Government clients on GovCMS now get a website on current front-end tooling, with Paragraphs layouts that are easier for editors to manage.
