Installing Hyvä CMS

Prerequisites

Installation

Installation via Hyvä Commerce Metapackage Recommended

The below steps are for installing Hyvä CMS only. While this is supported to provide greater flexibility and control over installed features, in most cases, we recommend installing all Hyvä Commerce features using our metapackage.

With a License Key

Require the hyva-themes/commerce-module-cms package

composer require hyva-themes/commerce-module-cms

Run bin/magento setup:upgrade

Run tailwind to generate storefront styles, replacing vendor/hyva-themes/magento2-default-theme/web/tailwind/ with the path to your theme's web/tailwind folder:

bin/magento hyva:config:generate
npm --prefix vendor/hyva-themes/magento2-default-theme/web/tailwind/ ci
npm --prefix vendor/hyva-themes/magento2-default-theme/web/tailwind/ run build-prod

For Agency and Technology Partners

If you have access to the Hyvä Commerce GitLab repositories as Gold/Platinum Agency Partner, or a Technology Partner, you can install Hyvä Commerce in development environments using SSH key authentication.

You can configure the git repositories in your root composer.json and use the repositories directly as git repo's beneath your vendor directory. You can check out tags and branches, make commits and push contributions.

This installation method is not suited for deployments, because GitLab requires SSH key authorization.

Ensure your public SSH key is added to your account on gitlab.hyva.io.
Set minimum-stability to dev in the Magento composer.json
```
composer config minimum-stability dev
```

Add the Hyvä CMS and base Hyvä Commerce module repositories to the Magento composer.json

composer config repositories.hyva-themes/commerce-module-commerce git git@gitlab.hyva.io:hyva-commerce/module-commerce.git
composer config repositories.hyva-themes/commerce-module-cms git git@gitlab.hyva.io:hyva-commerce/module-cms.git

Require the hyva-themes/commerce-module-cms packages using the dev-main branch version:
```
composer require --prefer-source 'hyva-themes/commerce-module-cms:dev-main'
```
Run bin/magento setup:upgrade

Run tailwind to generate storefront styles, replacing vendor/hyva-themes/magento2-default-theme/web/tailwind/ with the path to your theme's web/tailwind folder:

bin/magento hyva:config:generate
npm --prefix vendor/hyva-themes/magento2-default-theme/web/tailwind/ ci
npm --prefix vendor/hyva-themes/magento2-default-theme/web/tailwind/ run build-prod

Additional Setup

Enable 'New' Media Gallery

Hyvä CMS only supports the 'New' Media Gallery, for handling image selection and editing (using the Image Editor). Enabling the 'New' Media Gallery can be configured in the admin panel.

Multi-Store / Custom Admin Domain Setup

When using the Hyvä CMS Liveview Editor with multiple storefronts on different domains, or even in a single store scenario, when the admin domain is different from the storefront, browsers block iframes by default. Since the editor loads storefront previews inside the Magento admin, you must securely allow embedding within the admin domain for it to work properly.

To ensure proper iframe functionality across domains, configure the Content Security Policy (CSP) frame-ancestors directive to permit the admin domain.

Enable CSP Restrict Mode in the admin area. Add or update the following configuration in config.xml (or to app/etc/env.php):

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:module:Magento_Store:etc/config.xsd">
    <default>
        <csp>
            <mode>
                <storefront>
                    <report_only>0</report_only>
                </storefront>
            </mode>
        </csp>
    </default>
</config>

Add or update the CSP Whitelist Rules In a csp_whitelist.xml file add the following:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<csp_whitelist xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:module:Magento_Csp:etc/csp_whitelist.xsd">
    <policies>
        <policy id="frame-ancestors">
            <values>
                <value id="magento-admin-domain" type="host">your-admin-domain.com</value>
                <value id="self" type="host">self</value>
                <value id="https" type="host">https:</value>
            </values>
        </policy>
    </policies>
</csp_whitelist>

Handling the Hyva_CMS Cache

The hyva_cms cache is automatically enabled in production environments and disabled in developer mode. This cache stores component configurations for improved performance.

Depending on your deployment strategy, you may need to include a step to clear the cache on each deployment:

bin/magento cache:clean hyva_cms

Performance Optimization

JIT CSS Compilation

Hyvä CMS uses the magento2-cms-tailwind-jit module for compilation.

Tailwind CSS styles are generated on save of Hyvä CMS content (can be changed to on edit in the editor preferences).
Custom Tailwind configurations are supported per theme.
Tailwind JIT compilation can be disabled/enabled globally in Magento store configuration or per Hyvä CMS entity in the editor settings.
Note: Custom classes (e.g. the .container class) require extra configuration to produce the same styles as the frontend theme.

For detailed configuration options, see CMS Tailwind JIT Module Documentation.

Best Practice: Avoid injecting CSS classes in CMS content

Keep it simple for merchants.

When building CMS components, avoid over-relying on Tailwind classes for content creation. Unlike traditional Page Builder approaches, merchants should never need to add CSS classes to add or edit content.

Build components with specific fields and variant templates so merchants can choose how to display content through simple options, not by adding custom CSS classes or code to fields.

This helps provide a more consistent design system and better user experience for merchants.
