Compatibility with last versions of Dolibarr and Prestashop

[caos30]

Hello, i'm very interested in your module. Obviously i need to synchronize a Dolibarr instance with a prestashop instance. My concern is regarding the compatibility of the module with the "last version" of Dolibarr and Prestashop. I really am not able to find this information. Looking at the Dolistore webpage of the module:

https://www.dolistore.com/es/modulos/497-Prestashop-to-Dolibarr-PRO--PJ-Conseil-.html

It says that only Dolibarr 3.9+ is compatible... but i would say looking in Github that its not true. So? This integration is for a customer of mine, so i can buy your module on Dolistore. I only need to know:

• is the module just now compatible with Dolibarr 10.x? And, if the answer is NO, please tell your opinion: it would be easy for me to make it compatible (your sincerely opinion). I've developed 2 modules for Dolibarr, so i think that i could do it. Bute, well, it's your module :-)

• regarding Prestashop, i don't have ANY experience developing to, so... any suggestion?

Thanks in advance! Sergi

Hello,

Thank you for your message :) Update the module for dolibar 10+ will probably not be very difficult,

First of all it need to update this : /dolipresta/lib/PSWebServiceLibrary.php for the variable constants to dialogue with prestashop

then you have to try if all is ok, and fix the problems if there is

that all :)

Hello @johanbernard , after almost 2 weeks working on it intensively i've refactored several files of this double-model ;-)

The most important changes:

• Translated almost all the texts in french on the code (commented lines even debug log texts), because sincerely it was very difficult at the beginning to understand the code in french ;-) Although i've not translated all the files. The prestashop class was the one containing more french expressions. Dolibarr files are usually commented already in english. Obviously, i would preferred to "translate" also some method names (importProduits to importProducts, etc...) and variable names (invoice instead facture, or order instead of commande) but i thought that it would be too much work and very "risky" for me (risk to break something already running well! you know).
• Added more debug annotations along all the PHP files, to be able to understand some kind of errors
• I "improved" the HTML table on Prestashop admin module interface on the table of " Export Prestashop data to Dolibarr" tab (RESET & MASSIVE EXPORT buttons). In fact, i realised that if you don't do an ORDERED mass export (in the order i defined in that HTML table) some of the exportations fail. For example: is needed to export first Customers to be bale to successfully export Orders. And first orders and after invoices (for Dolibarr questions). In a future i think that this "massive exportation" should be reviewed to control better this questions.
• I really need a lot of time (1.5 weeks to make run this massive exportations). But finally i get it :-)
• Once exported all from Prestashop to Dolibarr, the one to one synchronization from Prestashop to Dolibarr runs "quite well" (i don't like, for example that the product variants on Presta are splited on Dolibarr in different products, instead of generate product variants on Dolibarr... which it's possible).
• The one to one synchronization from Dolibarr to Prestashop fortunately works for changes on status of the orders and stock on the products. But I have not be able to get running the propagation of changes on product title, for example from Dolibarr to Prestashop. Neither categories names, or product description. Furthermore, i have had serious problems to use the prestashop webservice to send this kind of CRUD changes from Dolibarr to Prestashop. I would preferred to write all this comment once i had solved this question... hehehe, being able to give you a 100% running module. But man... i'm too much desperate with this question. So any help will be very welcomed.

Said all this, i have doubts about how do you want to manage all my changes (it really has been a rewrite of half od the code/files). I have no problem in doing a FORK to generate a PULL REQUEST. Although i would like -if you see possible- to be added as a trusted contributor of this project, if you wants after the integration of the PULL REQUEST.

I'm github user since several years, but i really don't have very experience on administration tasks, so please, choose what you think better.

I talk about this question because i will need do a lot of improvements in the next months and so, for be easy to you and me to maintain a unique repository with the minimum effort.

Cheers! And thanks for your initial work. It's a wonderful module. but we can get it grow!

@caos30 We were looking forward your contrubition!(PR) I could help you on some subjects with this confinement....

[caos30]

Ok, @wdammak , following your suggestion i've made now a fork and a pull request with my changes. I explain the details on the PR comment.

Hi everyone.

A bit of topic hijacking, but not much (sorry). Following caos30 work on Dolibarr 10.x compatibility, how much work would you think would be required to have a 12.x compatibility? Any pointers on where should I start?

Cheers!

Hello @lainwir3d i've upgrading this week some other modules (of mine) from Doli 10.x to 12.x and usually the needed changes are almost ZERO. Maybe you don't know, but the official developer team of Dolibarr generate a new major version of Dolibarr almost each 6 months, so the changes usually are minimal, or are very focused in a few of the core modules. So in other words... is usually quite fast to upgrade your modules from previous versions.

If you can try it do this: 1) install the module on a Dolibarr 12.x instance and 2) test the good running of the module, fixing any "bug" or "disadjustement" you see.

Welcome to this interesting module to have an integration with Prestashop!

Hi @caos30, thanks for the swift answer! I'll check it out then.
