From version 2.11.x onwards, catalog site initialization is automatic.
Only a few manual operations are required.
Website creation
To create a catalog site, start by creating a "Project space catalog" type site.
Site configuration
For the catalog site to function correctly, please enter the following parameters:
- Appearance: workspaces-catalog or charter extending the catalog charter
- Comments on content: a posteriori
- Restricted page: uncheck the "Show restricted pages" box
- User management: select "Public registration
- URL prefix: Project URLS prefix
- Appearance: Project (workspaces-project) or charter extending the Project charter
When the Catalog site is created, it is automatically set up as a private site, i.e. not accessible to anonymous users.
Once the configuration has been validated, a series of automatic operations will initialize the site with the pages, services and content required for the project areas to function properly.
Manual operations
Assign yourself as manager of the new catalog site, then go to the catalog site back office to finalize its creation.
Site content customization
When the catalog site was created, 3 pages and 3 contents were created:
- content for general terms of use (Terms of use page)
- content for online help (Help page)
- content for the welcome text to be displayed on the project space login page (Login page)
Customize and validate this content.
These contents are optional and are not necessary for the proper functioning of the project areas.
Check registration page
To enable account creation from the catalog site, the "Registration" page is required and created by default.
The "Registration" service is configured by default with the 1st population of "modifiable" users (type SQL) assigned to the catalog site.
If you have several "editable" user populations for your site, remember to configure and check/change the user population/directory that will host new accounts.
If you do not wish to allow public registration, this page can be removed.
To check that the catalog site has been initialized correctly, you can browse the manual for initializing a catalog site manually.
