Build-Status (develop branch)

The idea behind this module

It is a common requirement, that some parts of content (like CMS pages or blocks) need be deployed within a release. There are content entries, which should be maintained by code all the time and some content just needs delivered one time to each system.

In most cases such requirements will be solved by setup scripts (or setup patches), which is possible way there is no chance to declare the responsibility for each content entity.

This module allows you to declare such content entries via XML file and ensures, that this declaration will be applied to database on each setup:upgrade run.

Install with composer

composer require firegento/magento2-content-provisioning

How it works

After installing this module you can create your own content_provisioning.xml in each of your modules.

Example configurations

Some explanation

key-Attribute

The key attribute is required in order to merge all content provisioning configurations across all modules. It is like the name attribute for layout blocks...

You could use identifier - or?

No, identifier is not unique since the same identifier can be used for multiple store views.

maintained-Attribute

With this attribute you define whether this content should be applied every time or even only once. Is the value false the content will only be persisted, if there is no identifier for the defined stores present in database.

content-Node

This node provide THE content for your page or block. It can be added as node value in a CDATA block or as a file path, which is relative to your Magento instance or prefixed by a module namespace. In order to use files you need to add the type="file" attribute to the content node.

stores-Node

This node is optional. If it is not defined, the block or page will be applied to all stores. A "maintained" entry will also be applied to stores, which will be created in the future after re-running setup:upgrade command. You can also use the 'wildcard' * in order to define that the content should be applied to all stores.

media_directory-Node (since version 1.2.0)

Specifies the directory for media files. Each used media file in the content and present in media source directory will be copied to Magento's pub/media directory. Sub-directory structure should be same like inspected it to be in pub/media. Only existing and used media files will be copied.
