Custom anchors can be used as hyperlinks to target a specific heading on the page. However, the google analytics one didn't work well because of the capital letters used. closes odoo/documentation#8224 Signed-off-by: Jonathan Castillo (jcs) <jcs@odoo.com>

Multiple websites
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
Odoo allows you to create multiple websites from the same database. This can be useful, for example,
|
|
if you have multiple brands operating under your organization, or to create separate websites for
|
|
different products/services, or different audiences. In these cases, having different websites can
|
|
help avoid confusion and make it easier to tailor your digital outreach strategies and reach your
|
|
target audience.
|
|
|
|
Each website can be designed and configured independently with its own :doc:`domain name
|
|
<domain_names>`, theme, pages,
|
|
menus, :doc:`languages <translate>`, :doc:`products <../../ecommerce/managing_products/products>`,
|
|
assigned sales team, etc. They can also :ref:`share content and pages
|
|
<multi-website/website_content>`.
|
|
|
|
.. tip::
|
|
Duplicate content (i.e., pages and content shared between multiple websites) can have a negative
|
|
impact on :doc:`../pages/seo`.
|
|
|
|
Website creation
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
To create a new website, proceed as follows:
|
|
|
|
#. Go to :menuselection:`Website --> Configuration --> Settings`.
|
|
#. Click :guilabel:`+ New Website`.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: multi_website/create-website.png
|
|
:alt: New website button
|
|
|
|
#. Specify the :guilabel:`Website Name` and :guilabel:`Website domain`. Each website must be
|
|
published under its own :doc:`domain <domain_names>`.
|
|
#. Adapt the :guilabel:`Company name`, :guilabel:`Languages` and :guilabel:`Default language`
|
|
if needed.
|
|
#. Click the :guilabel:`Create` button.
|
|
|
|
You can then start building your new website.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
By default, all website-related apps that you have installed (e.g. **eCommerce**,
|
|
**Forum**, **Blog**, etc.) and their related website pages are also available on the
|
|
new website. You can remove them by amending the website's menu.
|
|
|
|
Switching websites
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
To switch from one website to another, click the menu next to the :guilabel:`+New` button in the
|
|
top right corner and select the website you want to switch to.
|
|
|
|

:alt: Website selector
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
When you switch websites, you are redirected to the other website, to the same page (URL) as the
|
|
current one. If the page you are currently viewing does not exist on the other website, you are
|
|
redirected to a 404 error page. Once redirected, click :guilabel:`Create page` to create the
|
|
page.

|
Website-specific configuration
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
Most website settings are website-specific, which means they can be enabled/disabled per website. To
|
|
adapt the settings for a website, go to :menuselection:`Website --> Configuration --> Settings`.
|
|
Select the desired website in the field :guilabel:`Settings of Website` at the top of the
|
|
:guilabel:`Settings` page, in the **yellow** banner. Then, adapt the options for that specific
|
|
website.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
- Websites are created with the default settings; the settings are not copied from one website to
|
|
the other.
|
|
- In a :doc:`multi-company environment </applications/general/companies>`, each website can be
|
|
linked to a specific company in your database so that only company-related data (e.g.,
|
|
products, jobs, events, etc.) is displayed on the website. To display company-specific data,
|
|
set the desired company in the :guilabel:`Company` field.
|
|
|
|
.. _multi-website/website_content:
|
|
|
|
Content availability
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
By default, pages, products, events, etc. created from the frontend (using the
|
|
:guilabel:`+New` button) are only available on the website from which it was created. Records
|
|
created from the backend, however, are made available on all websites by default. The content's
|
|
availability can be changed in the backend, in the :guilabel:`Website` field. For example, for
|
|
products, go to :menuselection:`eCommerce --> Products`, then select the product and go to the
|
|
:guilabel:`Sales` tab. For forums, go to :menuselection:`Configuration --> Forums`, then select the
|
|
forum.

.. _website_field:
|
|
|
|
Records and features can be made available:
|
|
|
|
- On all websites: leave the :guilabel:`Website` field empty;
|
|
- Only on one website: set the :guilabel:`Website` field accordingly;
|
|
- On some websites: in this case, you should duplicate the item and set the :guilabel:`Website`
|
|
field.
