Want this feature?
Deploy Content is part of CV ecommerce's franchiser and multisite features. For implementation, contact Commerce Vision. All sits in the network must be on the same version (min. 2022.3).
CMS Administrators and Content Administrators on a source site can enable and disable Deploy Content for different content types in the CMS and select target sites. They and any roles with deploy permission enabled can send content changes to one or more target sites.
Step-by-step Guide
Configure Deploy Content
Deploy Content is enabled by Commerce Vision. Administrators can then select deployable content types and target sites.
- In the CMS, go to Settings → Settings → Feature Management → Content → Deploy Content.
- When enabled, you will see the Configure button. If disabled, the 'Contact to Enable' button displays.
- Click Configure.
- Toggle ON to Enable to make a content type(s) deployable from this site. NOTE - A content type with 'locks', e.g., Article Locks, means content works with the Content Lock feature and a content item is deployed in locked page/object status. It cannot be edited on the target site unless unlocked by a source site administrator.
- To save your configurations, click Save.
3. Select Destination Sites
All CV ecommerce sites under your Organisation ID are listed. For successful deployment, a valid destination site must be on the same version as the source site. If invalid sites have been selected, an alert message appears at the top of the page.
- On the Deploy Content Feature Settings page, scroll down to the Target Sites section.
- All sites in your organisation, including test sites, are listed. Sites on the same version as your (source) site are marked with
. Sites on incompatible versions are marked with
.
- (Optional) If your organisation has many sites, use the filter to look up all compatible or incompatible sites. For compatible sites, select 'is true', then click Filter.
To make a site a selectable target site during deployment, toggle ON Target Sites next to it.
Enable all compatible sites in one go
i. First use the filter (step 3) to display only compatible sites
ii. Toggle ON the Toggle All button.
NOTE - To ensure all incompatible sites are disabled, you can use the filter to display all incompatible sites, then toggle OFF Toggle All. IMPORTANT - If Toggle All is enabled before using the filter, all sites will be selectable during deployment. However, the system will fail a deployment when a target site is not on the same version as the source site.
- Save your settings.
