Turn on Next Build Events and Event Listing in Drupal CMS

Opened this issue · 1 comments

Note: do not complete this task until 12/4, when Next Build's Events and Event Listings launch has been scheduled.

Relevant Links

Follow these steps:

Ensure the flag for that content type is not checked in the Prod CMS. This should be true from the beginning of the development process, but it is important to check this before deployment.

Deploy all code for Next Build and Content Build (if using flags in Content Build). Provided the flag is inactive, code handling the templating of a given content type will not become active in production. Code deployments do not need to be coordinated.

Enable the flag in the Prod CMS. This will activate the content type. When the flag becomes active, the following thing happen:

a. Next Build production will become able to build the content type.

b. If flags are used in Content Build, the change will also become active there. Typically this would turn off that content type in Content Build.

c. CMS will begin using Next Build Preview Server links for that content type. Without the flag active, a content type will use Content Build Preview for its preview. Turning the flag on tells the CMS to use the Next Build link.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Events and event listing feature flags have been turned on within Drupal CMS.

Note: need to add a step to kick off content build and next build process, since launch will be happening outside of business hours.
