Connect TerminalFour

The Silktide plugin for TerminalFour lets you open any page in TerminalFour from Silktide, and tells Silktide to retest a page when you publish it. See CMS connections for what a connection does.

What you need

• TerminalFour 8.2 or later.
• PHP 7.2 or later with the cURL extension.
• A scheduled job runner, such as cron, on a web server or, preferably, the CMS server.
• A Section Metadata content type in TerminalFour.
• Access to run SQL queries.
• Administrator access to TerminalFour, so you can install the plugin.

1. Get your key

1. In Silktide, open Settings, then Integrations, and choose CMS.
2. Choose TerminalFour, pick what the connection applies to, and choose Connect.
3. Copy the key.

2. Install the plugin

Download the plugin files. They include a guide that walks through installing the plugin in TerminalFour. Put your key into the plugin where that guide says, then publish.

3. Retest and check

Retest the website in Silktide. When the test finishes, open a page in the Inspector and choose Open in CMS. The page opens in TerminalFour, ready to edit.

To check publishing, update a page in TerminalFour and publish it. Silktide starts testing that page within a few minutes.

If you get stuck, choose Contact support in Silktide.
