Build online shop using Drupal commerce

-
I have built a commerce demo site by using Drupal Commerce and Drupal 7.9, it was a breeze to setup but bit difficult to customise.

I have used various types of products types and a single product display to manage all the content and products. The theme is currently 'bartik' which is the default theme that comes with Drupal 7.

I enjoyed setting this shop up, i have used views to customise product pages, used taxonomy terms in the department and product pages to improve SEO and display of pages.

Use feeds module to import XML data in Drupal 7

-
Recently i had to setup a xml import process to import data from an external supplier on a regular basis, the filename and format was not changing and i could choose where to store the file. Following is how i set it up. First we need to download the following modules feeds feeds admin ui feeds_xpathparser ctools job_scheduler enable the above modules. We will need a sample XML so this will be the one we will use for this demonstration: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <!-- Sample for demonstration of processing XML feeds with feeds module --> <Orders> <Order> <CustomerID>10</CustomerID> <Order_Number>1</Order_Number> <Order_Total>100</Order_Total> <Currency>£</Currency> </Order> <Order> <CustomerID>11</CustomerID> <Order_Number>2</Order_Number> <Order_Total>40</Order_Total> <Currency>$</Currency> ...

Use ProxySQL to obfuscate data for development.

-
Before I begin let me put this out as a protection against the pitch fork guys 🙂 I do not in anyway recommend using live data (albeit sanitised) into dev, we should really have test data and keep updating the test data as application grows and is changed. But in case when your developers are supporting a really fast moving, highly configurable system there may be a need to use live backups to be regularly sanitised and applied to dev systems. The usual way of doing this is take a backup from production servers, transfer to dev/stage servers, restore to Dev DB and then run some sanitisation scripts. This seemed to be a bit of a problem as we did not want to have a situation that the mysqldump of live database sits on pre prod servers or may be left there my mistake. Privacy is a big thing today and due to introduction of GDPR we now have a need to eliminate any chances of collecting and storing personal data where we do not need it.  Enter ProxySQL: I stumbled up...

Using Wodby (drupal4docker) to create our local development environment.

Using Wodby https://wodby.com  to create a Drupal local development environment using docker. I have used the official Drupal docker image to create a local dev environment, it certainly does work but does not really tie in with how we currently use and develop on Drupal. I have checked Wodby drupal4docker and it seems to do what I expect and want the local dev environment. How to set this up Obviously there is a documentation on how to set this up https://wodby.com/docs/stacks/drupal/local/ even though the documentation is quite thorough I still struggled a bit so wanted to create a documentation for myself and anyone who happens to stumble on this link. My setup will consist of a local Drupal 8 code base with custom modules and themes, I save my code base in git including the Drupal code, this may not be really needed in the future as we are moving to using composer but for now I am sticking to keeping the Drupal codebase in my repository. I als...
