Getting started¶
Ibexa DXP consists of the technical platform for developers (including a Web framework, APIs and a Content Repository) and provides a user interface to work with the content and administer the platform.
Ibexa DXP provides advanced editorial capabilities such as in-page editing, creation of block-based Pages, editorial workflow, etc.
Quick start¶
Ibexa DXP must be installed by administrator. They should provide you with the address of the installation.
To access the Back Office (the editor interface), add /admin to this address.
For example, if your website's URL is www.my-site.com, you enter the editing interface through www.my-site.com/admin.
The default administrator account information is:
- username:
admin - password:
publish
The first screen after logging in is My dashboard. It contains shortcuts to most commonly used content: review queue, your drafts, the content you have created, recently modified content, etc. You can select any of these items and view them in detail or start editing them from this point. You can also reschedule or cancel planned publications using the dashboard.
You can always return to the My dashboard screen by selecting the logo in the upper left corner.
The top bar allows you to move between important sections of the application.
Top level sections include, for example:
- Content gives you access to the content Repository. It lets you navigate the Content Tree, create, edit, move, copy, delete content, etc.
- Product catalog enables you to handle products presented on the website, including their specifications and pricing.
