Requirements

• Drupal 8, 9, 10, or 11
• PHP 7.4 or higher
• Composer
• A valid BrightEdge account ID (format: f000000ZZZ)
• brightedge/be_ixf_php_sdk^1.5.15 (installed via Composer)

Installation

1. Install via Composer (recommended)

From the root of your Drupal project, run:

composer require drupal/be_ixf_drupal

This will also pull in the required brightedge/be_ixf_php_sdk PHP library automatically.

2. Manual installation

If Composer is not available:

1. Download the module and place it in web/modules/custom/be_ixf_drupal/ (or modules/custom/).
2. Manually download brightedge/be_ixf_php_sdk ^1.5.15 and ensure it is autoloaded.

3. Enable the module

Via Drush:

drush en be_ixf_drupal
drush cr

Or via the Drupal admin UI at Extend (/admin/modules), search for BrightEdge IX Foundation Module, check the box, and click Install.

Configuration

Navigate to Configuration > System > BrightEdge (/admin/config/services/brightedge).

After saving, clear Drupal's cache:

drush cr

Usage

BrightEdge Foundation Content Block

The module provides a configurable block plugin that renders BrightEdge autopilot content.

1. Go to Structure > Block layout (/admin/structure/block).
2. Click Place block in the desired region.
3. Search for BrightEdge Foundation Content Block and click Place block.
4. In the block configuration form, set:
   • Type — choose body_open, body_1, or a custom featured group ID.
   • Feature Group Id — visible only when Type is set to the custom option; enter the content block ID from BrightEdge.
5. Save the block.

Cache behaviour: The block caches per URL path and query string. Cache lifetime uses the Block Cache Maximum Age value set in the module configuration.
