Setting Up Projects
Most actors in the educational sector aim to provide multiple publications, such as training materials for courses, scholarly books, or any other resources tailored for specific groups of participants. Each publication should be managed independently, complete with its own author and access rights.
Typemill simplifies this process by enabling you to manage multiple projects within a single installation. Each project can represent a unique publication, such as a training handbook, a guide, or an informational resource. Every project features its own content, navigation, and author team, allowing for independent management while maintaining a cohesive overall system.
Configure Projects in the Settings
To create a new project, navigate to the System section in the top menu and select the Projects tab. Here, you can activate the project feature and add an ID and a Label for your main website. This serves to identify your base website within Typemill, so keep it straightforward:
- ID: home
- Label: Homepage
Next, define a new project for each publication you plan to create. For instance, let’s add a training handbook for a specific course:
- ID: training
- Label: Training Handbook
Your setup should now resemble the screenshot below. To initiate another publication, simply create a new project.
Switch Between Projects
Upon returning to the Content section, you will notice a new dropdown menu above the navigation, allowing you to select between Homepage and Training Handbook — the labels you just established.
When you switch to Training Handbook, the URL will display the slug .../training/..., and the navigation panel on the left will appear empty. This signifies the dedicated content space for your new project — you can now begin creating pages and folders from scratch.
