Configuring your Drupal site as a publisher
To configure your Drupal site as a publisher:
- Install Content Hub.
- Enable the
acquia_contenthub_publisher
module through the Drupal admin interface.
When activating theacquia_contenthub_publisher
module on an existing Drupal site functioning as a Content Hub subscriber, only the content exclusive to that Drupal site can be published. However, the content that is imported from other publishers cannot be re-exported. Each entity is limited to having only one publisher.
Adding content changes to export queue
Automatic addition of content
By default, Content Hub automatically adds content changes to the export queue when the content is:
Created or updated
Flagged as published
Draft or unpublished content is not automatically enqueued for export.
Manual export mode
With the manual export mode, you can control when to add content to export queue. For example, if you require multiple approvals before the syndication begins, you can use the manual export mode and prevent content changes from being automatically added to the export queue.
To enable the manual export mode:
- Go to Administration > Configuration > Acquia Content Hub.
- Select the Export tab.
- In the Export Control fieldset, enable the Enable manual export mode checkbox.
- Click Save Export Settings.
After the manual export mode is enabled, content changes are not automatically added to the export queue.
To manually enqueue content entities to the export queue:
- Go to Administration > Content > Acquia Content Hub Export Tracker.
- (Optional) Filter the view by title, UUID, entity type, or status.
- Add entities to the export queue:
- To add a single row, click the Add to export queue button on the row.
To add multiple rows, select the checkboxes for the required rows, select the Add to export queue option from the Action dropdown, and then click Apply to selected items.
Processing the export queue
The export queue is processed in the following ways:
Purging the export queue
To clear the export queue on a publisher site:
- Go to Administration > Configuration > Web services > Acquia Content Hub.
- Click Export tab.
- When the queue has items, locate Purge existing queues within the Run Export Queue section.
- Click Purge to empty the export queue.
Excluding entities from export
The publisher exports all content by default. However, there might be a necessity to exclude specific types of content from export due to security concerns or other reasons. For more information, refer to Excluding entities from export.
Viewing completed exports using the Publisher’s Dashboard
To view completed exports using the Publisher’s Dashboard:
- Navigate to the Publisher’s Dashboard interface.
- Click Content.
- Review the content on the Content page.
The page displays the available content entities within the Content Hub service.
