# Subsites
The SilverStripe subsites module allows you to manage multiple related sites through a single CMS interface. Because
all sites run on a single installation of SilverStripe, they can share users, content and assets. They can all use the
same templates, or each use different ones.
This document assumes that you have full admin rights for your site.

# Setting up
## Creating subsites
To view, edit and create subsites, go to the *Subsite* section of the CMS. Click *Search* to view a list of all
existing subsites.
![View subsites](_images/view-subsites.jpg)
Click on a subsite name to edit its details. Click the red X to delete a subsite (you will be asked for confirmation.)
To create a new subsite, click *Add Subsite*. This opens the *Subsite configuration* subsection.
![Subsite configuration](_images/subsite-configuration.jpg)
You can configure the following details for a subsite:
* *Name of subsite:* This is the display name for the site in the CMS (not public-facing)
* *Domains for this subsite:* Lets you add one or more domains for this subsite, e.g., subsite.co.nz, subsite.org.nz,
subsite.com
* *Language:* Sets the language for the subsite. This affects the spellchecker (not the CMS interface language)
* *Default site:* If your site is accessed by a domain not listed in any subsites, this subsite is shown as default.
* *Enable public access:* Enables/disables the subsite. Corresponds to the *Active Subsite* column.
* *Theme:* Shows the list of available themes that exist in the themes directory. The subsite will use the templates
and styles from the selected theme.
* *Disallow page types:* Lets you mark some page types to prevent being used within this subsite.
* *Copy structure from:* Gives you the option to select an existing subsite from which to copy pages and files (see
"Copying subsites" for more information about this)
## Roles
When creating roles, you can assign the following subsite-specific permissions:
* *Access to 'Subsites' section:* Shows the *Subsite* section in the CMS, allowing you to manage subsites for your
site (ie, create, edit, view.)
* *Manage subsites for groups:* Ability to limit the permissions for a group to one or more subsites.
* *Manage assets for subsites:* Ability to select the subsite to which an asset folder belongs (also requires access to
*Files* section)
## Groups
Groups can have access to all sites, or to one or more specific subsites. If you have different staff in charge of each
subsite, you probably want to create a separate group for each subsite.
The dropdown in the upper left corner of the CMS indicates which subsite you are currently on. While you are in the
Security section of the CMS, the selection in the subsites dropdown defines what groups you see in the left-hand pane.
![Group subsites dropdown](_images/group-subsites-dropdown.jpg)
The choices are:
* Groups accessing all sites
* [your main site]
* [a specific subsite]
* All groups - i.e., all above combined
Once you make a selection from the dropdown, you see the appropriate groups in the *Security* section. In the Security
section, click a group and go to its *Subsites* tab to assign the subsites to which the group has access. Click *Only
these subsites* to reveal a checklist of all available sites.

## Copying subsites
Duplicating subsites can be useful if you want to create several subsites based on the same general site structure. You
can set up a collection of pages, files, and images and use it as a template. When you create a new subsite, instead of
starting from scratch you can copy it all from your existing subsite. This will copy all pages, files and images from
that subsite into your new subsite.
To create a new subsite template, create a new subsite described above under "Creating subsites" but don't add any
domains. Add a name that will make it easy to see that it is a template. Select the new template from the subsites
dropdown in the upper right and create the pages and add the files and images you'd like to become part of the
template.
When you create a new subsite, you can now choose to Copy structure from your template. All your pages, files and
images will be copied over to your new subsite.

# Working with subsites
## Managing content across subsites
When you are in the *Pages* or *Files* sections of the CMS, select a subsite from the dropdown in the upper left to
display the content for that site in the site tree.
![Subsites dropdown](_images/subsites-dropdown.jpg)
## Subsites virtual pages
You can pull in the content from a page that resides on another subsite by creating a page of the type **Subsites
Virtual Page**. Pick the subsite from which you want to pull the content, then select the page. As with regular virtual
pages, your **Subsites Virtual Page** will display the content from the original page and get updated automatically if
the original content changes.
