Create a Site ​

Create a site from My Sites: blank site, import package, or clone an existing site.

Prerequisite

Complete Login and site list first. If you start site creation while you are inside a folder, the new site is added to that folder automatically.

Open the Creation Flow ​

  1. From My Sites, click Create Site.
  2. The URL changes to /_Admin/create.
  3. The left side shows the form for the current creation mode, and the right side shows the list of alternative creation modes.
Create site screen

Creation Modes ​

ModeRouteTypical use
Blank Site/_Admin/createStart from scratch with your own site name and default domain
Clone Site/_Admin/create/cloneCopy an existing site or clone from a remote source
Import Site/_Admin/create/importUpload a Kooboo site package or a standard HTML package
Pick TemplateRedirects to the template marketplaceCreate from an existing template

Blank Site ​

Blank site creation is the default mode.

  1. Enter the Site Name.
  2. Enter the Domain: subdomain plus the platform-provided root domain.
  3. Click Start Creating.
  4. After creation finishes, return to My Sites and click Manage on the new site.

TIP

Creating a blank site does not automatically open the site admin. Enter the site from the list after creation.

Import Site ​

Import site flow
  1. Switch to Import Site to open /_Admin/create/import.
  2. Upload a .zip package.
  3. Depending on the package type, Kooboo imports the exported site or converts a standard HTML package into a Kooboo site.

Clone Site ​

Clone site flow
  1. Switch to Clone Site to open /_Admin/create/clone.
  2. Select the source site or enter the clone source required by your environment.
  3. Confirm the form to create a new copy in My Sites.

After you enter the site admin (/_Admin/site?SiteId=...), a practical order is:

  1. Site admin menu overview
  2. Content overview
  3. Template Engine
  4. API Details
