# 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
## Features
### Turkish Interface
- All field labels are in Turkish
- Configured for Turkish content creators
- Default author set to "TA1SPH"
### Blog Post Management
- Create new blog posts
- Edit existing posts
- Upload featured images
- Organize with categories and tags
- Markdown editor for content
### File Structure
- Blog posts are stored in `src/data/post/`
- Images are stored in `src/assets/images/`
- Posts use the format: `YYYY-MM-DD-slug.md`
## Configuration Files
### `/public/decapcms/config.yml`
Main configuration file that defines:
- Backend (Git Gateway)
- Collections (Blog posts)
- Fields and their types
- Media handling
### `/public/decapcms/index.html`
The CMS interface HTML file
### `/public/_redirects`
Netlify redirect rules for admin routing
## Usage
1. Users navigate to `/admin/`
2. They are redirected to the CMS interface
3. After authentication, they can:
- Create new blog posts
- Edit existing posts
- Upload images
- Manage categories and tags
## Security
- Only invited users can access the CMS
- All changes are committed to the main repository
- GitHub Actions will automatically deploy changes
- Content is version-controlled through Git
## 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
