Every site should complete a full checklist of the basic information; 

  1. Fill in your Company Details 
    • Click into Administration > Settings > Billing
    • Fill in all fields here - if you are missing some information, enter X in the field until you have the correct information
       
  2. Complete your Email Checks
    • Click into Administration > Settings > Mail
    • Enter the main Site Administration Email to Site Notifications Email - this email account will receive a copy of any emails sent from the system, if the Email Template setting for 'Send Email to Site Admin' is set to Yes.
       
    Add your Email Signature
    • Click into Administration > Settings > Mail
    • Enter your Email Signature
      • This will show on the bottom of every email being sent through the site
      • Suggestion: Your Show Name, Show Date, Show Website, Social Media, Email, Showgrounds Address - format well as this goes out on every email from the site
      • Suggestion if same email signature on all automatic emails (Competitions, Trade, Accounts created, etc) Include a closing salutation, eg. Regards, City Show Team, www.  , Email, Phone
    • You can insert an image into the signature, using the URL to that image
      • Use the public URL (ie. it does not include /admin in the URL)
    • Your site logo will show in the header of the automatic email sent, by default. 
       
  4. Add the Site Name and formats
    • Click CMS > Appearance > Other Settings
    • Add your Site Name - this will display on the website footer, emails and all places where the site name can be referenced. 
      • eg. City Show Society Limitied
    • Set the date format you prefer to use
    • Set the Address labels (ie. the title on the field when asking the user to create a profile)
    • Choose if you should include the Company Reg. Number, and/or tax details. 
    • Add site logos for all responsive formats. 
       
    Review your default Outgoing Server 
    • The default server uses noreply@ardsoftware.com
    • If you want to set up your own, you must have all details completed - Change your default email
      • You should test and prove to yourself that your own email account is sending mail from the site successfully.
      • If you change outgoing mail from 'Default' - you must ensure it is working - no orders will be able to complete unless your own email account is configured correctly. 
    • Tip: Test this yourself by submitting a Contact Us request / putting through a test order to test if your new settings are working
  6. Set up your reCAPTCHA Keys to allow forms to be submitted (create accounts, payments, contact us forms)
