I have installed the Community edition of Sharetribe Go on my servers, i.e. self-hosted. I am curious why the marketplace I have created in development is pointing to Sharetribe’s servers as below:
Sharetribe domain
Your Sharetribe marketplace domain is https://mymarketplace.sharetribe.com.
You can’t change the Sharetribe domain when the custom domain feature is enabled.
In the Community Edition, that page isn’t disabled but is also not working out of the box. That text is hardcoded and not made different when one is running the Community Edition.
So, you shouldn’t pay attention to that URL, this is just some kind of placeholder.
I still have an issue with the install linking to sharetribe.com. Here’s what I have done since the last post.
I am now in production mode and have updated domain to mymarketplace.mysite.com via an phpmyadmin. I see the change reflected when I log in to the marketplace on the Home tab.
In trial and Hobby plans, the footer is Sharetribe-branded and can’t be customized. In Pro plans and higher, you can customize the footer. The footer is displayed on all pages of your marketplace.
The footer gives your visitors more ways to access important pages on your marketplace and makes your brand more visible. You can select a dark or light footer style and add text, social media links, and a copyright text. Learn more about the footer.
I am not quite clear on why I should be seeing this for a self hosted community version of Sharetribe Go.
Is there something that needs to be done to clear this up?
Indeed, that page doesn’t have a special version when it is for your own installation of the Community Edition, that is why the regular “hosted version” of the page is displayed.
You can safely ignore this. In practice, as you run it on your own servers, it isn’t connected to Sharetribe in any way. I understand that this can look confusing so if you prefer, you can edit the code to change or disable that page entirely.
Pro feature: Would you like to configure your own custom footer?
