Adding a Child Site from the Site Administration
If you are logged into a parent site, you can use the Site Administration to add new child sites.
- Open the Site Administration.
- Click the Add New Child Site button, in the upper right-hand corner.
- The "Add New Site" panel will appear on the right-hand side.
- Fill in all the required fields. They are marked in red.
- Site Name: This is the name of your website. This name appears at the top center of the editor. It also appears at the top of the "List of Pages" in the collapsible panel on left-hand side of the editor. In the Site Administration, this name appears in the left panel, in the list of "Current Sites."
- Full Domain OR Subdomain: This is the URL of the website. You may choose to use a full domain, or a subdomain of the parent site URL. You may use both, but only one of these is required. If you add both a full domain and a subdomain, the subdomain will automatically redirect to the full domain when entered into a browser.
- Super Admin User: The super admin user will be given extra permissions on the child site that it is assigned to. Use the dropdown list to select a user.
- Fill in any remaining optional fields that you choose.
- Assign Groups: Click the Assign Groups button. Then check the box next to the group(s) that you want to apply to the child site. Click OK when finished. If you need to add or remove a group, click here.
- Template and Skin Selector: Click the Template & Skin Selector button. Then choose one template and one skin from the list. Click Select.
- Set Dynamic Content: Click the Set Dynamic Content button. If custom dynamic fields have been added via the parent site, you will see blank fields at the bottom of the "Value" column. Enter the desired information into these field, then click Save.
- Location: Fill out the address and contact information for your site.
- When you've entering all the desired information for the child site, do one of the following:
- Click Apply to save changes and remain in the Site Administration screen. You will see a message saying that your site was added successfully.
- Click Done to save changes and exit the screen.
