Documentation
Powerling x Akeneo Add-on Extension
Installation
This documentation is for an installation on the latest version of Akeneo (5.0)
You may find the documentation related to your version of Akeneo on the corresponding branch of the github project.
Getting ready
First step is to require the sources:
composer require powerling/akeneo-extension 5.0
Register the bundle in config/bundles.php:
Pim\Bundle\PowerlingBundle\PimPowerlingBundle::class => ['all' => true],
Clear cache:
rm -rf var/cache && bin/console cache:warmup
Then we need to add a new mass edit batch job:
bin/console akeneo:batch:create-job 'Powerling Connector' 'powerling_start_projects' "mass_edit" 'powerling_start_projects'
Add the new routes used by the extension to the global router. Add the following lines at the end of config/routes/routes.yml (create the file if it does not exist):
powerling: resource: "@PimPowerlingBundle/Resources/config/routing.yml"
Update the database schema and regenerate your cache and assets:
bin/console doctrine:schema:update --force --env=prod
NO_DOCKER=true make cache
NO_DOCKER=true make assets
NO_DOCKER=true make javascript-extensions
NO_DOCKER=true make css
NO_DOCKER=true make javascript-prod
Finally, you must set a cron to retrieve the translated contents from Powerling:
0 * * * * /home/akeno/pim/bin/console pim:powerling:retrieve-translations >> /tmp/powerling.log
This command checks for translated content once every hour. We do not recommend to check more often than every hour to not overload the Powerling servers.
Sandbox
When you install the extension, it aims at Powerling's sandbox environment. In order to make it aim at the production environment, add the following line to your parameters.yml file:
powerling.base_uri.app: 'https://api.powerling-tp.com'
Documentation
The translation request is done by a very simple mass edit process:
- Select your products in the grid and choose the "translate with Powerling" mass edit operation.
- Choose the language association used for this translation project.
- Send your products to Powerling in just one click
- Your products will be pushed back in the PIM as soon as the translation is complete
Powerling x Akeneo API connector
Installation
In order to get going, we only need you to create a Powerling connector on your Akeneo and provide us with the generated API credentials
Documentation
The web platform allows you to filter your product base in order to select which products you want to send for translation.
You can then specify your translation languages, give the project a name and send it for translation
