About Thunder

Using paragraphs, you can add text with a WYSIWYG-editor, pictures, videos, Instagram or Twitter cards to your article – and change the order by dragging and dropping the content wherever you like it. Thanks to a preview mode, you get a good idea of how your article will ultimately look.

You can plan when texts should be published, and you can also set a date to remove the article from your website. Also, you can set an expire date for images. After this, the picture will be replaced with a placeholder.

With the help of the media browser, it’s very easy to add pictures, galleries, or videos to your article. You can upload new pictures to the media browser by just dragging and dropping. The pictures are cropped automatically and, with the focal point, you can define the important part of the picture, which should be visible in every layout.

Cover events in realtime with the liveblog, our first community project developed by Kurier, Bunte, Drunomics, and galaniprojects.

With the Thunder installation, you get a responsive theme for frontend and backend. When writing an article, you can check how your text will look on different smartphones and tablets with the help of the device preview.

With Thunder, editors may publish their content easily as instant articles on Facebook. This reduces loading times on the mobile web. (not available for Thunder 6, yet)

With the integration to Google AMP, you can deliver not only text, but also images, galleries, videos, as well as Instagram and Twitter cards. (not available for Thunder 6, yet)

We added demo content and a guided tour to make it easier for newcomers to understand how Thunder works. We explain how to add an article, edit an article or add and sort channels – one step at a time.

With Thunder, you get a system with a very high scalability. It’s extendable with more than 2500 modules to fit every need. Plus, it’s themeable.

Benefit from an active community with more than 100,000 user actively contributing and more than 2,000 commits per week. In the Drupal and the Thunder community you’ll find support if needed.
