Subsites are 'mini sites' that you can create as small standalone websites that do not appear within your main website menu. They are typically used for events or special purposes such as information pages, members' only pages, or blogs. Each subsite has its own URL and includes a home page, a spare page, and a gallery page. There is no limit to the number of the subsites you can create.
In this article:
Set up a Subsite
To get started, log in to your website and click on Site Settings.
Then under Organisation, click on Manage subsites under the Organisation column.
Click on CREATE NEW SUBSITE.
Here you can name the site, and give it an easy web address such as myfirstsubsite or a name relevant to you. It will then immediately become reachable at e.g. sporty.co.nz/myfirstsubsite (in NZ) or sporty.com.au/myfirstsubsite (in AU).
Note: If you have your own web address set, such as www.abc.com and you give the subsite an address of e.g. myfirstsubsite, it will automatically become reachable at www.abc.com/myfirstsubsite after a few hours (after web caching has cleared).
If you are wanting to use this subsite via the mobile app to communicate, tick the checkbox for Show in Mobile App. This allows you to send specific alerts to specific groups.
Click Submit when finished.
Your subsite has now been created. It will inherit the background and header from the main site for consistency, but you can change these elements locally on the subsite if you wish and these changes will not impact your main website.
Providing User Access to a Subsite
You can provide users access to manage subsites as you would to your main site. Access can be limited to the subsite alone if for instance you have subsites for different sports codes who have different site admins. Any user (new or pre-existing) can have access to the main site as well as subsites if specified when inviting them to have access.
1. From your main site, click Dashboard then Admin Settings and Login and Access Control.
2. Click Invite New User.
3. Enter the new users details and tick the Subsite that you'd like this user to have access to.
4. Click Send Invite.
Managing your Subsite
Any Subsites that have been created are found by clicking Site Settings then Manage Subsites.
Once you are in your Subsite, clicking Dashboard will take you back to your main site.
Edit subsite
Add images or widgets, or to update text on either of the three pages provided to a subsite, click the edit pencil icon.
Widgets such as News Articles, displaying Online Forms such as player registration or team entry forms will populate options available to display from what's within your main site. Subsites cannot create their own forms or databases, they are purely a display site for information.
Settings
To make modifications to your subsite such as changing its name, address or showing/hiding it from the Mobile App, click the settings cog icon.
Hide/show this subsite
If your subsite is currently visible, you can hide it from being public by clicking the eye icon. When the subsite is hidden, it will appear greyed out in the Manage Subsites screen.
Copy this subsite
To make a copy of this subsite, click the copy icon.
Delete this subsite
If this subsite is no longer wanted, click the trash can icon.
