1.1.0

Compatible with Magnolia 6.2.

The ecommerce-catalogsync module brings everything you need to enhance e-commerce categories with data collected in Magnolia as well as to play them out in an optimised order. It is based on the E-commerce module. For this purpose, the new CategoryImportCommand command is registered. To make use of this command, the E-Commerce Categories app is registered, which can be extended as desired via decoration. For the Categories App, a special field is also provided with which the displayed order of the products of a category can be changed by using drag-and-drop.

This module is at the INCUBATOR level.

Installing with Maven

Maven is the easiest way to install the module. Add the following to your bundle:

<dependency>
  <groupId>info.magnolia.ecommerce.catalogsync</groupId>
  <artifactId>category-importer</artifactId>
  <version>1.1.0</version>
</dependency>

Usage

This module contains a command and the corresponding app. Below you will learn how to use both.

App

The E-Commerce Categories app is registered automatically on the first startup of the module.

The app can be adapted to individual needs with the help of a decoration file. Below you will find an example of how to activate the visualMerchandise field included in the module.

To be able to use this example, the JavaScript UI module must be installed.
decorations/ecommerce-catalogsync-app/apps/ecommerce-catalogsync-app.yaml
subApps:
  detail:
    form:
      implementationClass: info.magnolia.ui.javascript.form.FormViewWithChangeListener
      properties:
        visualMerchandise:
          label: Visual Merchandise
          $type: javascriptField
          fieldScript: /ecommerce-catalogsync-app/webresources/visualMerchandise.html
      layout:
        $type: tabbedLayout
        tabs:

            label: Visual Merchandise
            fields:
              - name: visualMerchandise
          system:
            label: System Properties
            fields:
              - name: name
              - name: externalId

Command

The CategoryImportCommand command is registered automatically on the first startup of the module under /module/category-importer/commands/pxm.
