Connecting to the Community

Connecting to Community

If your website is not already connected to the Concrete community, select Dashboard in the upper right of your Concrete CMS toolbar, then go to Extend Concrete. Note that if you are having trouble connecting with the community, you can review troubleshooting tips here. 

This opens the Add Functionality screen. Select the blue button labeled Connect to Community to continue to the next screen.

Next, create a project page page on the community site by selecting the Create Project Page button:

If you are logged in to your Concrete community account, you'll be taken to a New Project page like the one below. If not, sign in with your community account on community.concretecms.com to login. If you do not have an account you can easily register.

Once your project page has been created, make note of the ID and Secret in the Connection Information section. You will need these values later.

If you have purchased licenses for add-ons or themes, you should now have the ability to assign those licenses to your project. Pick whichever add-ons & themes are for this site and select the Associate button.

Go back to your website and paste the ID and Secret (Key) into the fields in Step 2 (see the screenshot below), then select the Save button:

If you have entered the correct values, the Connect to the Community page will display a success notice like in the screenshot below:
