Department Kickstarter

The department kickstarter module gives you the opportunity to create department sites based on template page trees.

The whole template page tree including subpages, content elements and other records is copied to a chosen destination. You can set a custom slug for your new department site, all slugs of child pages will be updated.

Create a template

Every page can be marked as a template in the page properties.

You must at least have one template page in order to use the kickstarter module.

Open the kickstarter module and select the target page in the page tree.

Fill the form fields:

( 1 ) Enter the title for the new department site. This value will be used as the page title for the new department site.
