A basic export format plugin

In this tutorial, you will develop a basic plugin to integrate an export format in plentymarkets. The plugin will enable the user to export data using the well-known processes within the plentymarkets elastic export.

Step 1: Creating the plugin files

The plugin needs to be organised in a specific structure. You need the src folder for your plugin. The src folder can be organised in sub-folders and contains the ExportFormatServiceProvider.php, the ExportFormatGenerator.php and the ExportFormatResultField.php. The ExportFormatServiceProvider.php is needed for registering the plugin in plentymarkets. All information about the plugin is defined in the plugin.json file. This file defines the service provider of your plugin, which will be called by plentymarkets to register and run your plugin.

Step 2: Filling the source files

This plugin consists of four files in total. One JSON file, the plugin.json, and three PHP files, a ServiceProvider, a Generator and a ResultField. You will also need a config.json as well as a ServiceProvider. Create these files and copy the code examples. Start by creating the plugin.json file.

Deploying the plugin

Finally, deploy the plugin in a plugin set. The new export format will be available in the elastic export menu in plentymarkets.

  1. Go to Plugins » Plugin overview.
  2. Select the desired plugin set.
  3. Activate the plugin in the Active column.
  4. In the toolbar, click on Save & publish plugins.
  5. → Once a success message is displayed, you are ready to check the output.

Now you can export data using your newly added plugin code.
