Architecture

Package-Based System

YMCA Website Services uses a package-based architecture:

Packages (openy.packages.yml) - Logical groupings of modules by functionality
- Each package has: name, description, help text, and list of modules
- Examples: editorial, locations, blog, activity_finder
Installation Types (openy.installation_types.yml) - Presets that combine packages
- Each preset specifies which packages to install
- standard, extended, small_y, complete
Module Installation - During installation:
- User selects a preset (or specifies via Drush)
- System loads packages for that preset
- Installs all modules from those packages (with dependencies)
- Optionally imports demo content for selected preset
