The Hub has the ability to synchronize/push some configuration/data to each of its Nodes.
What can be synced?
- Addons (plugins)
- Addon settings
- Themes
- SSO setup
- Categories / Subcommunities
- Badges
- Roles
- Posting format (editor, settings)
How can I set a Role to sync (or not)?
- Log in to the Hub.
- Go to Settings.
- Go to Roles.
- Edit the Role in question.
- Select if the Role should be synced or not.
How can I set a Category to sync (or not)?
- Log into the Hub.
- Go to Settings.
- Go to Categories.
- Edit the Category in question.
- Select if the Category should be synced or not.
I don't see an option to sync X setting. What can I do?
Email Vanilla Support or your CSM and they can implement this in the backend.
What happens if someone makes a change on the Node?
For example, if an admin creates a Category on the Hub and syncs it to all the Nodes.
If the Category is renamed or deleted on the Node, the next time the Hub syncs the Category will be re-created or re-named back to the original. All changes must be made to the Hub to be applied to the Node(s).
