will a comment kick off P.sH?

If we have a "getting help" page, should probably include link to stack exchange in addition to issue queue and Slack.

mglaman · 2018-05-29T14:47:10Z

@lisastreeter that makes sense. Like the footer in https://www.drupaleurope.org/. And we should link to https://drupal.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/drupal-commerce

mglaman

I read through most of it. This is great, thanks again @lisastreeter. There's probably some other nits which we could debate through, but I think it's a huge improvement.

Whomp, my "SEO" hacks broke this page :( https://pr-236-4wo45ci-boljpk23hsit6.eu.platform.sh/commerce2/developer-guide/install-update/using-composer

I'll try to fix.

This is fixed, but the page shows a 404 on Platform.sh but not locally, which is weird.

Maybe we should add:

"Generally we require each minor release, as it contains improvements that we use, or to reduce our code base."

We should recommend they always develop locally, to properly take advantage of Drupal's configuration management. Or just remove this in general

+ If you already have a web server, make sure it satisfies [Drupal 8’s requirements].
+ The recommended memory limit is 256MB or more. For local development we recommend
+ [DDEV] (Docker-based), [Drupal VM] (advanced users), or [Acquia Dev Desktop] (beginners). You will also need [Composer].


I don't think we should call DrupalVM advanced.. we should just say it's Vagrant based. So we're offering a Docker solution, Vagrant.. and then "custom".

Also, Acquia Dev Desktop got abandoned in the meantime, so it's not safe to recommend it anymore.

Should we document here how to convert web to docroot if on Acquia? Or maybe there's already a resource for the drupal-composer project on that.

Ideally we'd link to an external resource, since it's not Commerce specific.

Here's an issue drupal-composer/drupal-project#64

The answers are in there

I think this specific comment is best: drupal-composer/drupal-project#64 (comment)

"contains the [Drupal Console] binary"
Do we also want to mention that phpunit is there?

We should say that it contains any library binaries, such as Console, PHPUnit, Behat, etc

+* [Commerce Shipping] makes it possible to ship physical products to your customers.
+* [Commerce Recurring] makes it possible to provide subscriptions and recurring billing.
+* [Commerce Variation Cart Form] provides an alternative add-to-cart form for specific use cases.


Let's not recommend Commerce Variation Cart Form. We'll be deprecating it with Commerce functionality in a future release, and our examples should be more major. Two examples are enough, if not, we can point to Product Bundle or Price list.

This only works if they used composer create-project VS adding Commerce to a vanilla site. Should be clarified.

Question: should "backing up your site" be included, either as an additional page in the "installation" section or as part of the "Maintaining" page?

mglaman · 2018-06-12T14:42:18Z

@lisastreeter I think we can skip backing up your site. Or just link to a Drupal.org handbook guide on the topic in "Maintaining" page

mglaman · 2018-06-13T01:28:36Z
