Adding Custom Website Topics

Creation of a custom topic involves the following steps:

1. Log in to Presence Builder and create a site with custom design and
   content: add pages, text, scripts, and select custom layout and
   styles.

2. Save the created site to a snapshot and download the snapshot.

3. Upload the snapshot to the server file system and convert it to a ZIP
   package.

   You can do this by using the command-line utility
   snapshot2wst.php, which is shipped with Presence Builder.

4. Extract the package contents for further editing and edit the files
   that compose the site topic. In this step, you can:

   • Make corrections to the text shown on website pages.
   • Translate all text in the topic into a different language.
   • Upload an icon that should accompany the site topic on the topic
     selection screen.
   • Specify a title and a description for the new topic.
   • Specify a title and a description for the topic category if you
     have decided to create a category.

5. Register the newly created topic with Presence Builder by means of
   the snapshot2wst.php utility. After registration, the new topic
   will appear on the topic selection screen in the Presence Builder
   editor.

6. Verify that the topic was successfully added to Presence Builder.
