Subsite lets you make any node or set of nodes look like a different website by overriding the theme, branding, main menu, and more. Perfect for event and campaign micro-sites etc, subsite has been designed to be used by editors as part of the editorial process. Configuration for each subsite is stored with the node in a field which means it supports content revisions and works with your usual content workflow.
Features
- Lightweight, field-based solution - it's not intended as a replacement to Domain Access or Organic Groups.
- Designed to be used by content editors - not site admins.
- Any node or set of nodes can make a subsite.
- Have as many sub-sites as you like.
- All configuration is saved in a field attached to a single node for each subsite.
- Any content type can be subsite enabled by adding a subsite field.
- Should "just work" with modules like Subdomain.
Currently includes plugins for:
- Theme override - select from any enabled theme.
- Branding override - override site name, logo, favicon etc.
- Book module integration - use books to maintain a hierarchy of sub-site pages and override the main menu navigation.
- Social media links module integration - override social links for each subsite.
Installation
- Add a subsite field to any content type.
- On the content type "Manage form display" and "Manage display" tabs set the subsite field to hidden.
- There may be hard dependencies on the book and social_media_links modules, so download (not book - that's in core) and enable if necessary. TODO!
Use
To create a subsite
Create or edit a node of the subsite type(s) and try out the "Subsite" node settings in the node settings panel.
To create a multi-page subsite
- Make sure the book module is enabled with book support configured for the subsite enabled content type(s) (Content types allowed in book outlines).
- The subsite "homepage" node needs to be the top-level page in a book - so if it's not already select the "Create a new book" option in the "Book outline" vertical tab on the node edit page.
- Add sub pages as child pages to the subsite book. The child pages can be of any content type.
Status
Although currently being used on a live site (http://www.hfsc.org.uk v http://www.hfsc.org.uk/solent-forts-race), there is still some work to do before it is ready for general use. Written whilst going through the "first Drupal 8 site" experience there's considerable room for improvement and a fair bit of refactoring to do. Suggestions welcome - code, architecture, features, whatever.
