Create your Showroom¶

After you have installed and configured the library you can actually start to create your showroom of websites.

Add an Edition¶

A website showroom consists of one or more editions, representing the version of the showroom for a specific country/language.

You can add en edition of the site in the Django admin. For creating an edition, open an edition form and follow the instructions close to the form fields.

After adding an edition entry, you should for the first time be able to run the front-end website and see the basic layout of the site.

Create Categories¶

Categories will show as the main navigation of the showroom. You have to explicitly name the edition(s) a category should be displayed/associated. This allows for having (slightly) different categories for different editions.

Add your Websites¶

Now to the actual fun: look for websites about the topic you would want to make the website showroom about and add them to your site via the Django admin.

You can then see your websites in the editions you added them to (language/country editions can be switched via the flags in the top-right corner of the showroom website).

And that’s it.

Now add your own stuff! :-)
