Add a new portal to an existing Sulu installation
Create and configure a new webspace with XML
A developer can define a new Webspace by making any necessary modifications to the example XML file, which is included with a fresh Sulu install, as described in the documentation. Having a configuration file like this avoids storing configuration in the database, which makes for easier deployment in different environments, and easier data exchange between different environments, e.g. when testing with real content. A separate config file also reduces the chance of websites breaking after going online, because configuration cannot be modified accidentally.
Bear in mind that the Symfony cache also needs manual clearing in dev mode.
Execute init command
Initialize your new Webspace with a shell command which automatically carries out tasks such as creating the homepage and setting up website routes.
Add permissions for the new Webspace to your user roles
Grant your editors permission to work with the new Webspace while logged in as an administrator. Sulu doesn’t grant access by default so you can keep tight control over security.
Start managing content
Editors manage the Webspace’s content in its own tree, as well as the locales defined in the above XML file.
