Drupal - Configuration

First of all, please make sure your Drupal Connector and its dependencies are installed.

Requirements

Before continuing, you have to create your corresponding Beebox CMS project or receive the credentials from your partner.

In order to get these credentials, please read take a look to our first project documentation.

Content configuration

Before going ahead with translations, you need to configure what content type and fields are translatable.

1. The configuration is available in Content language and translation. To access it, go first to Configuration, then Regional and language.
   
   

   

   
   
   
2. In there, you can select the fields you would like to be translated.
   By default, no content is available for translation until configured.
   
   

   

Project configuration

The whole configuration of the Drupal connector is located in the TMGMT Translators settings.

1. Go to the TMGMT Providers list. To access it, go first to Translation, then Providers.
   
   

   

   
   
   
2. In there, add or edit the default Beebox Connector configuration.
   
   

   

   
   
   
3. Configure the connector with the credentials you got from the Beebox interface.
   
   

   

   
   Please note the remote languages mapping fields are empty by default and will change to a select box as soon as the Beebox is connected properly.
   Then, if you need to edit the mappings, we highly recommend you to configure the Beebox credentials first, then go back in the provider setting's and configure them.
   
   Please note every time you change these settings, you have to retype the password.
   Otherwise, it will be considered as empty and an error will be thrown.
   
4. Check whether the connection is working properly.
   
   

   

   
   
   Your Beebox is not connected and the connector is ready to use!
