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 SiteAccess configuration, add the campaign SiteAccess to the list under the ibexa.siteaccess configuration key:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
ibexa:
    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
ibexa:
    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
ibexa:
    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.
