Getting HAX setup in Drupal CMS

HAX works with Drupal 8, 7 and all the way back to 6 (mostly to prove a point). While the install routines are largely the same make sure you follow the directions for your flavor of Drupal if it has any branching steps. Drupal 8 is the easiest to get setup while 7 and 6 require some additional modules to get going.

1. Go to the HAX project page on drupal.org
• Be aware that the Drupal 8 and 9 version of HAX does not require the web components module while Drupal 7 does
2. Download the module for your platform and follow the directions found in the README.md
• Drupal 7 have these files in the CopyThisStuff folder found in the web components module so make sure you get that!
3. Enable the HAX module
• Web components module too if in Drupal 7
4. Go to a node in your site, you should see a tab that says "Block editor mode"
5. Enjoy HAX'ing your Drupal site!

Special note on Drupal 7

In order to get the upload capabilities in Drupal 7 you'll need to download the File Entity and RESTws modules as well. We've created a "HAX Common" feature using the Features module which will help with the dependencies that are common in sites using HAX.
