Shared media & shared data

Goal

Several websites use common images and data – maintained in one place.

Prerequisites

• A network account or administration of the main website.

Step by step

Transcript: every step matches one subtitle in the video.

1. Grundeinstellungen › Geteilte Medien (shared media): central libraries (e.g. logos, brand images) for several websites.
2. “Neuen Pool anlegen” (new pool): name, short name and the websites allowed to use it.
3. Per pool: “Genutzt von” (used by) and “Pflegen dürfen” (may maintain) – everyone else only uses the files.
4. In the media library: right-click a file › “In … verschieben (geteilt)” (move to shared) – existing uses are kept.
5. Switch between “Diese Website” (this website) and the pool at the top – the file now lives there for every website of the pool.
6. Shared data: one website (e.g. the association) owns the table, members (clubs) see and add entries.
7. At the club the association’s entries appear in the same table – read-only, its own stay editable.
8. Backup commands: pool:backup and shared:backup (see technical documentation › shared data tables).
