Pail & Shovel

My CakePHP Shopify Project.

It's what I base my new Shopify App projects off of.

Putting it out there maybe it will help someone else.

I'll be adding tools I need when developing. You can install your own copy, or use my hosted copy.

It's set up to be development shop friendly.

Stuff it already has

• Login someone by shop name
• Random Product Loader - Load up your store with some random products. For the random word list, it uses vendors/random_words.txt (original source /usr/share/dict/web2a). You can change it to whatever you want, should be fine.
• Decent example of all the charging options.

Giving the App Access to your Store

Just visit the home page and try to login with the name of your store.

Usage

• You will need CakePHP 1.3, and know how to set up an app.
• Uses PHP ShopifyAPI and DebugKit - You will need those in vendors folder. If you git checkout this project, just do git submodule init, then git submodule update to get them.
• setup config/shopify.php from config/shopify.php.default
• setup config/database.php from config/database.php.default. You will need to setup a db: config/schema/shopify_devtools.sql
• setup config/core.php from config/core.php.default
• setup webroot/index.php from webroot/index.php.default.
• and the tmp folders. tmp/cache/models, tmp/cache/persistent

Setting up a Shopify App

• Go set one up, and set the return url to be whatever your homepage is.

Todo

• Turn the App Controller beforeFilter stuff into Shopify plugin/component, so can componenet=array('Shopify.Shopify).
• Get blank tmp folders setup in repo.
