prestashop::presh

• node['prestashop']['presh']['enabled'] - whether to use or not Presh (boolean, false by default because it is so experimental)

• node['prestashop']['presh']['revision'] - github repository branch, tag or revision of Presh to use (master by default, but it also could be something like c48cdd316d0c32c4f6958ade91b738b12a1c1330)

• node['prestashop']['presh']['keep_updating'] - whether to re-download a possible new version of Presh from the repository (boolean, true by default). No matter which value it has, it only will be useful when the revision used is master.

Recipes

• prestashop::default: main and simple recipe, just invokes the other recipes (conditionally in some cases)
• prestashop::php5_imap: installs php5 IMAP extension and enables it (only in Debian >= 7.0 or Ubuntu >= 12.10)
• prestashop::php5_mcrypt: installs php5 mcrypt extension and enables it (only in Debian >= 7.0 or Ubuntu >= 12.10)
• prestashop::presh: installs Presh

Usage

Basic Usage

The idea is to use the Prestashop cookbook from your own wrapper cookbooks, using its facilities with your custom parameters.

A usage example would be the following:

admin_dir = 'secret-admin-dir'
store_name = '"My Prestashop!"'
app_name = 'myprestashop'
domain = 'www.myprestashop.com'
aliases = ['myprestashop.com', 'awesomestore.com']
site_dir = '/var/www/myprestashop'
ssl_params = {
  'SSLCertificateFile' => '/etc/ssl/certs/myprestashop/myprestashop.crt',
  'SSLCertificateKeyFile' => '/etc/ssl/private/myprestashop/myprestashop.private.key',
  'SSLCACertificateFile' => '/etc/ssl/certs/myprestashop/CA.crt'
}
db_name = 'db_myprestashop'
db_user = 'db_user'
db_password = 'db_P1ssword'

install_cli_options = {
  'domain' => domain,
  'db_user' => db_user,
  'db_password' => db_password,
  'db_name' => db_name,
  'prefix' => '""',
  'email' => 'seller@myprestashop.com',
  'password' => 'Seller_P1ssword',
  'name' => 'MyPrestashop',
  'timezone' => 'America/Caracas',
  'language' => 'es',
  'country' => 've',
  'newsletter' => '0'
}

# the awesome module [Minic Slider from Minic Studio](http://module.minic.ro/tag/slider/)
other_modules = Hash.new
other_modules['via_git'] = [
  {
    'name' => 'minicslider',
    'url' => 'git://github.com/minicstudio/minicslider.git',
    'rev' => 'master'
  }
]

include_recipe "prestashop::default"

prestashop_database do
  db_name db_name
  db_user db_user
  db_password db_password
end

prestashop_install do
  base_dir site_dir
  custom_admin_dir admin_dir
  version '1.6.0.8'
  langs_iso_codes ['es', 'it', 'de']
  install_cli_options install_cli_options
end

prestashop_apache_vhost do
  app_name app_name
  app_domain domain
  app_aliases aliases
  # redirect_aliases is true by default
  # redirect_aliases true # use permanent 301 redirections for domain aliases
  # redirect_aliases false # use ServerAlias for domain aliases
  base_dir site_dir
  ssl_params ssl_params
end

prestashop_other_modules do
  base_dir site_dir
  other_modules other_modules
end

Notice that db_prefix option is ignored or is not working as expected, so some debugging will be needed to make it useful. In the meanwhile the Prestashop installer will create every table with the ps_ prefix and the generated settings.inc.php config file will contain that ps_ prefix too.

A bonus: Presh and Piwik

If you want to use Presh in your own cookbooks and/or install the Piwik module for web analytics, take these lines as an example:

...
...
node.default['prestashop']['presh']['enabled'] = true
node.default['prestashop']['presh']['revision'] = 'c48cdd316d0c32c4f6958ade91b738b12a1c1330' # 'master' is the default value
include_recipe "prestashop::default"

presh_commands = [
  {'name' => 'set_demo_mode', 'params' => '0'},
  {'name' => 'set_friendly_urls', 'params' => '1'},
  {'name' => 'set_debug_settings', 'params' => '0'},
  {'name' => 'optimize_via_ccc', 'params' => '1'},
  {'name' => 'fix_mail'},
  {'name' => 'set_smtp_mailing', 'params' => 'myprestashop.com mail.myprestashop.com mailsending@myprestashop.com MailSendinP1ssword_ TLS 25'},
  {'name' => 'update_modules'},
  {'name' => 'install_module', 'params' => 'minicslider'},
  # piwik
  {'name' => 'install_module', 'params' => 'piwik'},
  {'name' => 'update_global_value', 'params' => 'PIWIK_HOST "piwik.myprestashop.com"'},
  {'name' => 'update_global_value', 'params' => 'PIWIK_ID 1'},
  {'name' => 'update_global_value', 'params' => "PIWIK_TRACKING_TYPES 'a:4:{i:0;s:5:\"basic\";i:1;s:5:\"order\";i:2;s:4:\"view\";i:3;s:4:\"cart\";}'"},
  {'name' => 'update_global_value', 'params' => 'PIWIK_ORDER_TRACKING_STATES "b:0;"'}
]

prestashop_piwik do
  base_dir site_dir
end

prestashop_presh do
  base_dir site_dir
  commands presh_commands
end
...
...

Also notice that you could include the Piwik module without Presh, and later configure it manually through the admin web interface:

prestashop_piwik do
  base_dir site_dir
end

Testing

This cookbook needs automated testing, nothing has been incorporated in this respect.
