DescriptionA template for setting up a Public Knowledge base using Salesforce Knowledge

Details

Takes your knowledge base and makes a public site for it. Works really nicely - except if you want multiple brands, where it doesn't work at all

  • When I had Language turned on, I could not see the articles at all, it gave me an error of "The name can only contain underscores and alphanumeric characters. It must begin with a letter and be unique, and must not include spaces, end with an underscore, or contain two consecutive underscores." I have not found a workaround for this yet. I will try again when I set up the non english site
  • Apparently the chinese word in the language dropdown says "China" rather than "Chinese". I can NOT for the life of me work out where to change this

Good Things

  • Very nice clean layout. 
  • You can create multiple Knowledge sites targeted to different groups and/or using different article types. 
  • Integrated with Cases out of the box - nice

...

As another Gotcha, ensure that both PKB sites are set up with Multi-Language Enabled, otherwise the links to articles don't work.
