Plexum X6

This article explains how to control template replication process. Either you are modifying or adding a new website, here is where the preferences of the website are configured.

Website No. - This number is automatically assigned.
Website Name - Enter preferred name for website.

Website Domain Name - Enter domain to be used with this website. Example: companydomain.com (do not place http:// or www. in front of domain name)

Note: when a visitor hits the web page Plexum will determine which domain name was used and redirect visitor to site assigned to the domain name. If you are setting up two or more websites with different domains your server must have parked domain feature enabled. Each domain must be parked to the primary domain. Check with your hosting company to determine if Parked Domain is enabled.

2. Select "No" to replicate all pages dynamically. When dynamic is specified, web page will be generated from the database only when a web visitor hit the page URL.
   

Replication Type (only available when Static Replication is set to "Yes")

1. Select "Multiple Files" to allow multiple template pages to be replicated as static pages. Note: A folder for each User will be created on the server so that static pages can be organized. Because of this, User's URL will resemble http://www.companydomain.com/siteid/page.html

Note: Read and write permissions is needed on the folder.
