Installation and configuration – Template Development for ContentCreator

Installation

You only need a manual installation if you run a local FirstSpirit server. If your FirstSpirit is hosted in the Cloud, everything is already set up for you.
Only FirstSpirit server administrators can install modules.

CXT-Platform

The CXT-Platform is needed for the Template Development MicroApp to function. An installation guide can be found here.

Installing the "Template Development MicroApp" module

ServerManager > Server > Properties > Modules

Install the "Template Development MicroApp" module (fs-sitedev-microapp-*.fsm).

During the installation of the module, a global web app is automatically created.

Only one external web server is supported.

Adding the Web Component to the ContentCreator WebApp

The "Template Development" web component is automatically added to the global ContentCreator web app after module installation. If a project-local ContentCreator web app is used, the "Template Development" web component must be added manually. More on web components.

The ContentCreator web app will then need to be rolled out again.

Configuration

MicroApps can be configurerd to be visible to only certain user groups or disabled completely.

The Template Development MicroApp is disabled by default and needs to be enabled first. This can be done via the MicroApp Management page of the CXT-Platform, which can be access by administrators like this:

https://<host-server>/cxt-platform/management

Here the Template Development MicroApp can be activated for specific user groups.
