Set up campaign SiteAccess

The following example shows how to set up a special campaign SiteAccess. This SiteAccess serves a site devoted to a special campaign, separate from the main company website (site SiteAccess).

The campaign site uses a different part of the content tree than the main site, but shares some media files with it.

Configure SiteAccesses

First, in the SiteAccess configuration in config/packages/ezplatform.yaml, add the campaign SiteAccess to the list under ezplatform.siteaccess:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
ezplatform:
    siteaccess:
        list: [site, campaign]
        groups:
            site_group: [site, campaign]
        default_siteaccess: site
        match:
            Map\URI:
                summer-sale: campaign
                site: site

The match setting ensures that when a visitor accesses the <yourdomain>/summer-sale URI, they see the campaign SiteAccess.

Set root folder

Next, with the following content structure, you need to separate the "Campaign" folder as root for the new site:

Content structure

To do it, set the root level for campaign to access the "Campaign" Location and its sub-items only:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
ezplatform:
    system:
        campaign:
            content:
                tree_root:
                    # LocationId of "Campaign"
                    location_id: 57

Thanks to this configuration, you can access <your site>/campaign/Articles/Article2, but not <your site>/campaign/General/Articles/Article1.

Reuse content

Finally, reuse some content between sites, for example "Logos" from "Images/Media". You can allow the campaign site to access them, even though they are in a different part of the tree, via excluded_uri_prefixes:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
ezplatform:
    system:
        campaign:
            content:
                tree_root:
                    location_id: 57
                    excluded_uri_prefixes: [ /media/images/logos ]

Now, when you use the campaign SiteAccess, you can reach <your site>/campaign/Media/Images/Logos, despite the fact that it is not a sub-item of the "Campaign" Location.

As a next step, you can configure different designs for the two SiteAccesses.
