This extension provide an easy way to create mini-websites or duplicate a tree in the backend. For this purpose, the extension uses a model that you defined according to your own needs which can be tailored through forms.

Once the model is duplicated, the extension will automatically :

  • create associated BE/FE groups

  • set access group for created tree

  • create directories and files mount

  • add domain name

  • create site configuration
