Accessing the Subsite

If properly configured, when you access the front-end URL, you will see the new theme with all it’s customizations.

You can also visit a subsite sub-sections:

If you don’t provide the optional RequestHeader

As said in the documentation, the use of the Apache RequestHeader can be optional for some themes. Here how you will see the subsite if not provided properly.

As you can see, all CMF skins customization (site logo and main_template) are lost.

If your theme don’t provide a custom viewlet logo

These theme provide a custom logo viewlet that properly use the redturtle.subsites basic ones, as described in the documentation.

You need a new logo viewlet only if you need something different from Plone standard as in this example (where we have two images in the logo).

Disabling this viewlet will show the subsite as follow:

A .conf Apache configuration file
