Setup Environment
So that we can all be on the same page as we work through these lab exercises, it's a good idea to have a similar environment to work with. We'll go through these steps together:
- From the global utility navigation in the back-end admin area of Mura, go to Settings > Add Site. Complete with the following settings:
- Site ID: training-frontend
- Site: Front End Training
- Domain: use whatever the domain is that's in your address bar (e.g., localhost). Do not include the port number if it is present (e.g., 8888).
- Theme: MuraBootstrap
- Go to the Modules tab
- Turn on:
- Extranet
- Content Collections
- Forms Manager?
- Go to the Deploy Bundle tab
- Click the Site Architecture & Content checkbox
- Download the latest MuraBootstrap3 bundle from https://github.com/blueriver/MuraBootstrap3Bundle/archive/master.zip and extract the file to your desktop
- Now, upload the MuraBundle_theme-murabootstrap3_YYYY_MM_DD_HH.zip site bundle that is located inside of the extracted folder
- Click Add
- You should be taken back to the Site Setting screen and see a listing of sites. Because we're using the same domain as the Default site, we need to tell Mura which site should get the requests.
- Click View Site List by Bind Order
- Change the Bind Order so that Front End Training is number 1
- Click Update Bind Order
- Make sure you're currently using the Front End Training site and preview it to see that content has been populated.
- If so, then you're ready to roll. If not, then let the instructor know.
- STOP
- Create a new Folder called Labs
- We'll use this section throughout the exercises.
