# Decap CMS Setup for ARC Website
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
This website uses Decap CMS (formerly Netlify CMS) for content management. It allows authorized users to create, edit, and manage blog posts through a web interface.
|
|
|
|
## Current Setup Status
|
|
|
|
**Error**: "Unable to access identity settings. When using git-gateway backend make sure to enable Identity service and Git Gateway."
|
|
|
|
This means Netlify Identity and Git Gateway need to be properly configured.
|
|
|
|
## Setup Instructions
|
|
|
|
### 1. Enable Netlify Identity
|
|
|
|
1. Go to your Netlify dashboard: https://app.netlify.com/
|
|
2. Select your site (ym1ktc.netlify.app)
|
|
3. Navigate to **Site settings** → **Identity**
|
|
4. Click **"Enable Identity"**
|
|
5. In Identity settings, configure:
|
|
- **Registration**: Set to "Invite only" (recommended for security)
|
|
- **External providers**: Optionally enable GitHub, Google, etc.
|
|
- **Field validation**: No changes needed for basic setup
|
|
|
|
### 2. Configure Git Gateway
|
|
|
|
**This is the crucial step that's currently missing:**
|
|
|
|
1. In your site's Identity settings
|
|
2. Go to **"Services"** tab
|
|
3. Click **"Enable Git Gateway"**
|
|
4. This allows Decap CMS to commit directly to your GitHub repository
|
|
5. **Important**: Git Gateway requires the Identity service to be enabled first
|
|
|
|
### 3. Configure Custom Domain Access
|
|
|
|
Since you're using https://taslak.radio.org.tr/, ensure:
|
|
|
|
1. The custom domain is properly configured in Netlify
|
|
2. Identity service works on both domains:
|
|
- https://ym1ktc.netlify.app/admin/
|
|
- https://taslak.radio.org.tr/admin/
|
|
|
|
### 4. Invite Users
|
|
|
|
After Identity and Git Gateway are enabled:
|
|
|
|
1. In Identity tab, click **"Invite users"**
|
|
2. Enter email addresses of content editors
|
|
3. They will receive invitation emails
|
|
4. Users must accept invitations to access the CMS
|
|
|
|
### 5. Access the CMS
|
|
|
|
- Primary URL: `https://taslak.radio.org.tr/admin/`
|
|
- Backup URL: `https://ym1ktc.netlify.app/admin/`
|
|
- Users can log in with their invited credentials
|
|
- The CMS will redirect to `/decapcms/` for the actual interface
|
|
|
|

|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
### Current Error: "Unable to access identity settings"
|
|
|
|
**This specific error means:**
|
|
- Netlify Identity service is not enabled on your site
|
|
- Git Gateway is not enabled
|
|
- Or both services need to be configured
|
|
|
|
**Solution steps:**
|
|
1. Go to https://app.netlify.com/sites/ym1ktc/settings/identity
|
|
2. If Identity is not enabled, click "Enable Identity"
|
|
3. Go to Services tab and enable "Git Gateway"
|
|
4. Wait a few minutes for services to activate
|
|
5. Try accessing `/admin/` again
|
|
|
|
### Common Issues:
|
|
|
|
1. **"Unable to access identity settings"**: Enable Identity service and Git Gateway in Netlify dashboard
|
|
2. **Can't log in**: Check if Identity is enabled and user is invited
|
|
3. **Can't save posts**: Ensure Git Gateway is enabled and connected to GitHub
|
|
4. **Images not uploading**: Check media folder permissions in repository
|
|
5. **Custom domain issues**: Ensure Identity works on both netlify.app and custom domain
|
|
6. **404 on /admin/**: Check that _redirects file is deployed correctly
|
|
|
|
### Quick Verification Steps:
|
|
|
|
1. Check Identity status: https://app.netlify.com/sites/ym1ktc/settings/identity
|
|
2. Check Git Gateway: Should show "Connected" status when properly configured
|
|
3. Test admin access: https://taslak.radio.org.tr/admin/
|
|
4. Check browser console for JavaScript errors
