Creating a Demo site

Permalink 1 user found helpful
I would like to take a website that we built with Concrete5 and turn it into a "demo" site. We are using Concrete5.7. Has anyone made a script or have script examples to do this?

Hi InformaticsInc,

I am interested in this also. The tutorials I've found to do this have been for older versions, 5.6 and earlier.

I am also interested in this have been interested in it for a long time, only one that worked and was made available was for 5.4 I think. Would be nice if a solution could be devised or if the new "Try a demo" setup could be shared.

I've not tried these myself yet, but there are command line commands that can be run to install and reset a concrete5 install, as well as do other tasks like install packages.

Might be worth investigating!

Mesuva makes an excellent point. This could probably be done using cron jobs and the concrete5 command line tools. I personally use something similar with a local concrete5 sandbox. In the sandbox I use batch files to install concrete5 with sample content and to reset it.

"Command line interface (CLI) commands"

I imagine additional steps may be required to secure it, like disabling mail functions etc. I am not sure how to use the command line to configure internal concrete5 permissions.
