bda.plone.shop

E-commerce solution for Plone

Installation

Depend your instance to bda.plone.shop and install it as addon in plone control panel.

Development and testing

Checkout bda.plone.shop from git://github.com/bluedynamics/bda.plone.shop.git and run:

~$ make install

This installs all dependencies with mxdev and prepares scripts for running tests.

Running tests

If you have run the buildout, you can run all tests like so:

~$ make test-ignore-warnings

To run the robot tests do:

./venv/bin/zope-testrunner --auto-color --auto-progress --test-path=./src --all

For development, it might be more convenient to start a test server and run robot tests individually, like so (-d to start Zope in DEBUG-MODE):

./venv/bin/robot-server bda.plone.shop.tests.ShopDXFull_ROBOT_TESTING -d
./venv/bin/robot src/bda/plone/shop/tests/robot/test_shop_orderprocess.robot

To automatically land in the debug shell on test-failure, use:

./venv/bin/robot-debug src/bda/plone/shop/tests/robot/test_shop_orderprocess.robot

In the robot test you can place the debug statement to access a robot shell to try things out.

Enable Content to be buyable

Content which represent buyable items must implement bda.plone.orders.interfaces.IBuyable.

Information related to Buyable items is acquired from content instance via adapters implementing the following interfaces:

- ``bda.plone.cart.interfaces.ICartItemDataProvider``
- ``bda.plone.cart.interfaces.ICartItemStock``
- ``bda.plone.shipping.interfaces.IShippingItem``
- ``bda.plone.orders.interfaces.IItemNotificationText``
- ``bda.plone.orders.interfaces.IGlobalNotificationText``
- ``bda.plone.orders.interfaces.ITrading``
- ``bda.plone.orders.interfaces.IBuyablePeriod``

There exists implementations of these adapters among with related Dexterity Behaviors.

For Plone 5 'Summary View' is overriden for folders and collections to show your buyables with controls to add them into the cart.

Dexterity Behaviors

The Dexterity related implementation consists of Behaviors for each interface. These are (shortname in brackets):

  • bda.plone.shop.dx.IBuyableBehavior (bda.shop.buyable)
  • bda.plone.shop.dx.IStockBehavior (bda.shop.stock)
  • bda.plone.shop.dx.IShippingBehavior (bda.shop.shipping)
  • bda.plone.shop.dx.IItemNotificationTextBehavior (bda.shop.notificationtext.item)
  • bda.plone.shop.dx.IGlobalNotificationTextBehavior (bda.shop.notificationtext.global)
  • bda.plone.shop.dx.ITradingBehavior (bda.shop.trading)
  • bda.plone.shop.dx.IBuyablePeriodBehavior (bda.shop.buyableperiod)

The corresponding adapter implementations are registered for the referring behavior interfaces.

The IBuyable interface gets hooked on content via IBuyableBehavior.

In order to create buyable items with dexterity you need to either create a portal type via GenericSetup or use the Dexterity TTW Editor to assign the behaviors to existing content, or create new type(s) TTW from scratch.

Notification related behaviors can be applied to any Dexterity object including buyable items, notification text values are aquired until plone root is reached.

Cart item preview images

The cart can render preview images for the cart items in case when the context has a field named image

You can change the preview image rendering by adapting your own cart items. If you want to change the scale of the image, inherit from the existing adapter class and change preview_scale property:

>>> from bda.plone.shop.dx import DXCartItemPreviewImage
>>> class MyDXCartItemPreviewImage(DXCartItemPreviewImage):
...     preview_scale = "my_scale"

To do more complex preview image rendering you can override the url property:

>>> class MyDXCartItemPreviewImage(DXCartItemPreviewImage):
...     @property
...     def url(self):
...         # do sophisticated stuff to get your preview image
...         return preview_url

Register your adapter via ZCML:

<adapter
  for="some.package.IMyDXContent"
  factory=".youradater.MyDXCartItemPreviewImage" />

Permissions

In general, custom shop deployments are likely to configure the permission and role settings according to their use cases.

There exists bda.plone.shop.ViewBuyableInfo and bda.plone.shop.ModifyCart permission to control what parts of buyable data and controls get exposed to the user.

Further the permissions bda.plone.shop.ChangePersonalInformation and bda.plone.shop.ChangePersonalPreferences are used to control access to Personal Preferences respective Personal Information pages. By default, users with role Customer can access Personal Information only, as it usually makes no sense to give a customer settings like a preferred editor.

bda.plone.shop.ViewBuyableInfo

This permission controls whether a user can view basic buyable information. These are item availability and item price. By default, this permission is set for roles:

  • Manager
  • Site Administrator
  • Reviewer
  • Editor
  • Customer
  • Authenticated

This permission is also granted to the Authenticated role, to cover the use case, where authenticated users should see price informations, but not buy items.

In order to expose buyable information to all visitors by default, add Anonymous role via generic setup's rolemap.xml of your integration package.

bda.plone.shop.ModifyCart

This permission controls whether a user can actually add or update this item to shopping cart. By default, this permission is set for roles:

  • Manager
  • Site Administrator
  • Customer

In order to enable non-customers or anonymous users to mofify the cart, edit rolemap.xml in your integration package as needed. Be aware that the shop is basically designed that anonymous users can buy items, but orders related features like viewing own orders are bound to Customer role.

Customizing the shop

We know that every web-shop has different needs. This is why bda.plone.shop has been designed with maximum flexibility in mind.

In general, bda.plone.shop is customized by either changing settings in the (always growing) control-panel, or by patching variables/classes.

Integrators might want to add a patchShop method to the initialize method of a Zope2 package:

def initialize(context):
    """Initializer called when used as a Zope 2 product.
    """
    patchShop()

...and make sure it's called at startup time using the zcml:

<configure
  xmlns="http://namespaces.zope.org/zope"
  xmlns:five="http://namespaces.zope.org/five">

  <five:registerPackage package="." initialize=".initialize" />

</configure>

In patchShop you typically import constants from bda.plone.shop related packages and redefine them.:

def patchShop():
    from bda.plone import cart
    cart.CURRENCY_LITERALS['EUR'] = u'€'

Please see bda.plone.checkout or bda.plone.order for information how to customize the checkout form or the notification emails respectively.

Troubleshooting

If you're missing widgets in the @@item_discount form (eg. the Autocomplete for users or groups), you might want to reinstall (or re-run the GS import steps) of the yafowil.plone (see its README for more information).

If the autocomplete widget (in @@item_discount) is not working you can try to disable ++resource++yafowil.widget.autocomplete/jquery-ui-1.8.18.autocomplete.min.js in portal_javascripts.

In case you're having trouble with the forms, check if you're having recent versions of yafowil >= 2.1 and yafowil related packages.

Create translations

$ cd src/bda/plone/shop/
$ ./i18n.sh

Backward incompatible changes

1.0a1

  • bda.plone.shop: Buy Items permission has been renamed to bda.plone.shop: Modify Cart. If you have custom rolemap.xml in your GS profiles using this permission, or you use this permission somewhere in your code, you need to update your customizations.

Upgrade to Plone 5

If you upgrade to Plone 5, you have to run the upgrade step Remove old JS and CSS resources for Plone 5 manually to remove the old registration of resources.
