Site Creation / Registration Process
To register a new website in GZCMS for a GZ customer, execute the following steps:
- Login to GrowthZone Tenant one
- Select Admin from the left navigation sidebar
- Enter a tenant name you wish to create the site for into the search box
- Login to the tenant by clicking its name in the search results
- Once in the new tenant, navigate to ‘Setup’ from the left navbar.
- Once in the setup, click the ‘GrowthZone Pages’ link
- Click the ‘CMS Settings’ Tab
- Click ‘Add’ Button to add a new site (fill out form and click Done)
Note: For the Description usually we put "default website" - but not mandatory.
- On the new site created, Click the ‘Actions’ button and click on 'Domains'.
- Enter a unique subdomain (i.e. abcassociation) and in the short term .growthzonecms.com will also need to be included (i.e. abcassociation.growthzonecms.com)
(This will create this new site on the cloud. We have a jira to address the default that gets applied on this screen - growthzonecms.com is the new environment on the cloud, the default is growthzonesites.com which is the old environment on-prem)
Click ‘Done’
- Select your new site from the profile dropdown to begin the GZCMS site creation in WordPress.
- Click on 'Build using BeaverBuilder Theme'
- Select the site (theme) to clone from the dropdown and click 'Continue'
- Continue through the 4 steps
- Once the 4 steps are complete, click 'Login'.
To register a new website in GZCMS for a CM/MZ customer, execute the following steps:
- Login to CM/MZ
- On the 'Logins - All Chambers' page, Ctrl+F and search by name or CCID to locate the customer's database and click 'Login'.
- Go to Setup > Association Options > Support Staff Only: Association Control Panel
- Under the 'Add-On Manager' section, go to GrowthZoneCMS Site. In the 'Add Host' field, a full url is required that includes a unique subdomain for the customer (i.e. abcassociation) along with .growthzonecms.com (i.e. https://abcassociation.growthzonecms.com)
- Click 'Add Host' to add the domain to the 'Hosts:" area
- Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click 'Save'
- Scroll to the top of the page and click on the newly added icon to begin the GZCMS site creation in WordPress
- Continue at step 12 above.
Site Login / Authentication Process
Since the wp-growthzone-registration plugin has dual purpose (site creation and site login), if a site already exists, the user will simply be logged into the site instead of going through the site creation process.
