Works with CiviCRM 6.10 or higher.

Theme and Interface

"The Island" is a theme for CiviCRM based for the River theme,. It was previously based on the Shoreditch extension/theme, with the modest aims of:

  • Improving support for Form Builder and SearchKit
  • Improving mobile support
  • Minor visual improvements (more contrast, slowly modernize a wee bit, but no drastic changes) tidy up the CSS a bit, maybe improve core, to have a smaller CSS footprint (but don't have too many high expectations because this is a mostly volunteer effort)
  • Supporting CiviCRM Standalone and all other content management systems (CMS), such as WordPress, Drupal 9/10, Backdrop, etc.

Demos:

Requirements:

  • On Drupal 7: we recommend to set the CiviCRM Admin theme to "Seven"
  • On Drupal 10+: works with the Clara theme
  • On WordPress: works out of the box - if you are using the "CiviCRM Admin Utils" plugin, make sure to un-check the setting "fix CiviCRM menus".
  • On CiviCRM Standalone: works out of the box
  • Backdrop and Joomla: not actively tested, but it should work.

To upgrade from Shoreditch:

  • Disable/uninstall Shoreditch
  • Install this extension
  • If necessary, check the settings under Administer > Customize Data and Screens > The Island
