Developer documentation

Setting Up Your Hub

We've provided default content and menus for your hub, along with some commonly used extensions. However, the default content is pretty generic and you'll want to customize some of key pages to get the most out of your hub. We also have some recommendations on enabling some key features to help manage and protect your hub. 

Customize Your Hub's Content

  • 'About You' Page

    A page* for telling your story and letting your visitors know all about you. 

  • 'How to Contact' Page

    A page* to provide detailed contact information for your organization.

  • 'Terms of Use' Page

    We put a generic Terms of Use* page in place, but you might want to customize it for your specific needs.


    * Once you are ready to change these pages, login to your site's administrator page and use the Article Manager (under the 'Content' menu). 

 

Enable Recommended Features

  • Facebook, Google, LinkedIn

    Hub come with the ability for users to authenticate with popular services like Facebook, Google, or LinkedIn. Turn one or all of these on with a click of a button!

  • Set up Analytics

    We highly recommend setting up Google Analytics on your hub. We provide a module to enable analytics use on your hub.

  • Use ReCAPTCHA

    We provide basic image and text CAPTCHAs to help guard against spam bots, but we recommend configuring ReCAPTCHA for even better protection.

  • Email

    Hubs send outgoing email directly by default. Depending the type of server your hub is running on or your specific configuration, you might find the email your hub sends out gets marked as SPAM. We can't always easily prevent this from happening, but if you find your hub's email in SPAM folders too often, we recommend configuring your hub's STMP server to use a third party mail forwarding system, such as Amazon SES or Mandril. 

Where to Find Help

We try to make using and configuring a hub a simple, smooth process. Sometimes, however, you may have questions or issues not easily answered by the available documentation. If you need help or support while developing your hub, feel free to contact us.

I have a question!

Have a question on how to do something? If the documentation doesn't seem to be of help, you can try asking the community.

I have an idea!

Think something can be done better or is missing? Post your ideas or feature requests. We'd love to hear from you.

I have an error!

We continually test and refine the code for an error-free experience but, sadly, we can make mistakes. If you found a bug, let us know.
