Not using the PUI?  Not using OAI, or Docs?  If so, consider turning these services off in your configuration file. (e.g. AppConfig[:enable_docs] = false)

You are going to use the new PUI?  Here are some things to consider before you launch this service:

...

• Check out all of the configuration options that are in the config.rb file.  To do that, search for "public" and "pui".  Here are few things you'll want to consider:
  • Do you want to suppress any of the seven links that are included in the primary navigation bar of the site?
    • Do you have more than one repository?  If not, consider removing the repositories option from your primary navigation row of links (e.g. AppConfig[:pui_hide][:repositories] = true)
    • Do you have any digital object records ready to go? If not, suppress that link.
    • Same for classification records, which are labelled "Record Groups" in the new public interface by default.
  • If you're not going to configure the Request action button to work with an email client, or replace it with another plugin, like the Aeon plugin, then you should turn off this action button before going live. (e.g. AppConfig[:pui_page_actions_request] = false)
  • Once you choose a new URL and configure that in the application, make sure that all of the links work in the application (e.g. the homepage links from any of the pages in the interface, aside from the home page) and that your new link is also included in the Citation action button.

...

• Don't like the default colors, icons, etc?  To really update overhaul the look and feel of your new public interface, you 'll most likely might need to create a new public.war file. Here are simple instructions to get you thinking and/or started down that path:  ....However, you can do lot by overriding the CSS stylesheets in a simple plugin.  Here's an example: https://github.com/YaleArchivesSpace/yale_pui_css

• Want your site indexed by search engines?  Of course you do!  Once you're done testing your local configurations, be sure to update your robots.txt file so that the site can be crawled (and consider blocking craws on "/search?" pages and anything else you don't want to show up as a search result).
