The Captain Tortue Extranet is the working tool of the Captain Tortue fashion consultants, allowing them to organise their workshops, their stocks and their career. This site acts as a gateway to the various external tools of BI, sales, etc essential to their activity.
The objective was to build a multisite in order to ensure coherence between the different countries concerned by Captain Tortoise's activity (5 countries at the time of the build).
Why Drupal was chosen:
Within the framework of an approach of modernization and improvement of its extranet, Captain Tortue is also part of a will of technical and functional coherence with its public site, already built with Drupal 8.
Describe the project (goals, requirements and outcome):
The goal was to modernise their extranet by optimising the contribution while offering their sales advisers a practical, intuitive and responsive tool that gives them access to the external tools they need to work. The main challenge was to be able to offer content segmented according to the advisor's grade, seniority, etc., in order to provide the best possible service. The content of the site (including the home page) is therefore personalised according to the sales advisor who is connected.
Technical specifications
Drupal version:
Drupal 8.x
Key modules/theme/distribution used:
Why these modules/theme/distribution were chosen:
- Paragraph module: reduces the number of content types and therefore the number of page templates by ensuring modularity of contribution.
- Entity Visibility Preview : module that allows, together with the taxonomy, to segment the content according to the user category. Allows you to configure the visibility of a page or even a paragraph blade within a page according to the logged-in user. This module was key in the development of the site because it responded to a key functionality for managing content visibility according to user status. In addition, contributors can preview their content based on which user is logged in to check their contribution under different conditions. This segmentation is also visible in the search results where only the content intended to be seen by the logged-in user is presented.
- Search API SolR + Facets : important functionalities for the client. Choice of SolR because good integration in Drupal.
