Shopware Development Documentation

Install

This site is generated with Sculpin, a PHP based static site generator.

First you have to install Sculpin and run the install command in the project directory. This can be done via the init.sh shell script in the project root.

./init.sh

This will download Sculpin and install the required dependencies.

Running the website locally

./watch.sh

This will start a local webserver at http://localhost:8000/. You can use a different port like so:

./watch.sh 8001

Automatic Plugin Packaging

Foreach Plugin in the exampleplugins directory a corresponding ZIP package will be created that can be installed via the shopware plugin manager. It is important to put the plugin into the proper Frontend/Backend/Core subdirectory.

Example

exampleplugins/Frontend/SwagSloganOfTheDay/ will result in exampleplugins/SwagSloganOfTheDay.zip in the generated output directory. Please not that the subdirectory is not part of the resulting directory/filename.

Table of contents in your markdown documents

You have the ability to generate a table of content list for your document. Simply place the following code into your document and a table of contents will appear there magically:

<div class="toc-list"></div>

If you want, you can customize the behavior of the toc list as well. You can define the text of the headline using the attribute data-headline and you can define the max depth of headlines you wanna include into the list with the attribute data-depth:

<div class="toc-list" data-depth="1" data-headline="Awesome table of contents"></div>

Hiding blog posts from search engines

To add a <meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow" /> to your blog post, you have to add the following frontmatter entry to your blog post:

robots:
    hide: true

Version History

To create a version history table, you simply have to add a history array to your metadata.

Example:

---
layout: default
indexed: true
...
history:
  2015-11-16: creation
  2015-11-23: added frontend documentation
  2016-01-01: documented millenium bug
---

Algolia Search Configuration

The search is powered by Algolia. Configuration is done via kernel Parameters in app/config/sculpin_kernel.yml:

# app/config/sculpin_kernel.yml
sculpin_algolia:
  application_id: 'MYAPPLICATION'
  index_name:     'developers.shopware.com_prod'

The API Key should be provided via the environment variable SYMFONY__ALGOLIA_API_KEY. To enable the also the environment variable SYMFONY__ALGOLIA_ENABLED must exist.

SYMFONY__ALGOLIA_ENABLED=1 SYMFONY__ALGOLIA_API_KEY=MYAPIKEY ./vendor/bin/sculpin generate

These variables are automatically exported during the Travis-CI build for every merge/commit on the master branch.
