Create Article Editor Configuration Record

Note that this step assumes that you have previously created the admin pages.

We are creating a single Article Editor Gallery Configuration element record to be used within the application.

Go to the Add Configuration page and submit the form to create one record.

These fields will be completed as the pages are built.

See the Site Configuration wiki page for more information on the fields and the correct values.

Reset the ADF for the server and site.
