It is the local equivalent of `netgen/site-installer-bundle`'s one-step site provisioning, reimplemented on the kernel `eZScript` / `eZINI` / `eZCache`APIs, and provides the following capabilities: - Extension discovery - Finds all `explayouts*` / `expsite*` extensions present in the `extension/` directory. - Extension activation - Merges the discovered extensions into `[ExtensionSettings]` `ActiveExtensions[]` in `settings/override/site.ini.append.php`. - Full site install - Runs the site data installer (schema, data, binaries) via `expLayoutsSiteInstaller::install()`. - Media data-pack install - Applies the `expsite_data_media` demo content pack on top of an existing site via `expSiteDataMediaInstaller::installDataPack()`. - Autoload regeneration and cache clearing - Finishes every run with regenerated autoloads and cleared global, template and content caches. - Quick setup - Activation, autoloads and caches without any data import, for when a new `exp*` extension has been added by hand. Features -------- [](#features) Exponential Site Installer provides the following features in detail: Key classes ClassFilePurpose`expSiteInstaller``classes/expsiteinstaller.php`Static installer facade: discovery, activation, autoloads, caches, full/media installCLI entry point: `bin/php/install.php` (kernel `eZScript` bootstrap, runs `runFullInstall()`). Methods - `discoverExtensions()` - lists `extension/` directories starting with `explayouts` or `expsite`. - `activateExtensions()` - merges the discovered extensions into `[ExtensionSettings]` `ActiveExtensions[]` in `settings/override/site.ini.append.php`. - `regenerateAutoloads()` - runs `php bin/php/ezpgenerateautoloads.php -o`. - `clearAllCaches()` - clears the global, template and content cache tags. - `runFullInstall( $dataPath, $storagePath )` - activation + `expLayoutsSiteInstaller::install()` (schema, data, binaries) + autoloads - caches. - `runMediaInstall( $dataPath, $storagePath )` - activation + `expSiteDataMediaInstaller::installDataPack()` (the media demo data pack) - autoloads + caches. - `runInstall( $installType, ... )` - dispatcher: `'full'` or `'media'`(unknown types fall through to the full install). - `quickSetup()` - activation + autoloads + caches, no data import. Each phase is public and can be used on its own, so custom deployment scripts can compose the individual steps with extra phases in between. Package dependency handling Package-level dependency resolution is handled by the Exponential 6 kernel package installer, which installs a package's declared dependencies before the package itself; this extension complements that by wiring up the extension activation and data-pack side. Use this installer for the extension/data-pack side and the kernel package installer for `.ezpkg`packages; the two are complementary.

For more information or questions please contact Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) The following requirements exists for using Exponential Site Installer extension: Exponential CMS / eZ Publish Legacy version - Make sure you use Exponential 6 (eZ Publish Legacy) or higher. PHP version - Make sure you have PHP 8.1 or higher, with CLI access. Sibling extensions - `extension/explayouts` present (provides `expLayoutsSiteInstaller`, required by the full install). - `extension/expsite_data_media` present if you plan to run the media data-pack install. Installation ------------ [](#installation) Installation is the standard legacy extension procedure: place the extension in `extension/expsite_installer`, activate it in `settings/override/site.ini.append.php` (the installer itself will add the remaining `explayouts*` / `expsite*` extensions to that list when it runs), regenerate the extension autoloads and clear all caches. See the complete step-by-step instructions in [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md). Usage ----- [](#usage) The one-command install, from the installation root: ``` php extension/expsite_installer/bin/php/install.php ``` The script must be started from the installation root - it resolves `extension/...`, `settings/override/...` and `var/...` paths relative to the current working directory. When running as root, append `--allow-root-user`. The script boots the kernel via `eZScript`, then calls: ``` expSiteInstaller::runFullInstall( 'extension/expsite_data_media/data', 'var/site/storage' ); ``` and prints each result section (`extensions`, `activated`, `installer_output`, `autoload_output`, `cache_output`) to the CLI. What a full install does, in order: 1. `discoverExtensions()` - scans `extension/` for directories starting with `explayouts` or `expsite`. 2. `activateExtensions()` - merges them into `[ExtensionSettings]``ActiveExtensions[]` in `settings/override/site.ini.append.php`(rewrites the `[ExtensionSettings]` block in place). 3. `expLayoutsSiteInstaller( $dataPath, $storagePath )->install()` - imports schema/data SQL and copies binary storage. 4. `regenerateAutoloads()` - shells out to `php bin/php/ezpgenerateautoloads.php -o`. 5. `clearAllCaches()` - clears the `global`, `template` and `content`cache tags. Media data-pack install (INSERT OR IGNORE delta plus storage merge, applied on top of an existing site): ``` $results = expSiteInstaller::runMediaInstall(); // or with explicit paths: $results = expSiteInstaller::runMediaInstall( 'extension/expsite_data_media/data', 'var/site/storage' ); ``` `runMediaInstall()` resets all INI instances and clears the INI cache before the import so the freshly activated extensions' settings are visible, then runs `expSiteDataMediaInstaller::installDataPack()`. The dedicated media CLI script is `extension/expsite_data_media/bin/php/install_data.php` (see that extension's documentation). Dispatcher and quick setup: ``` $results = expSiteInstaller::runInstall( 'full' ); // = runFullInstall() $results = expSiteInstaller::runInstall( 'media' ); // = runMediaInstall() expSiteInstaller::quickSetup(); // activation + autoloads + caches, no data import ``` Individual steps: ``` $found = expSiteInstaller::discoverExtensions(); // array of extension names $result = expSiteInstaller::activateExtensions(); // array( 'message' => ..., 'extensions' => ... ) $log = expSiteInstaller::regenerateAutoloads(); // command output as string $msg = expSiteInstaller::clearAllCaches(); // 'All caches cleared.' ``` See [doc/USAGE.md](doc/USAGE.md) for the full CLI and PHP API reference and the customization guide covering all three layers: the settings layer (the shipped `[SiteInstaller]` / `[ExtensionsToActivate]` INI keys and the important caveat that the current code takes paths from method arguments, not from these settings), the template layer (nothing to override; the extension ships no templates) and the PHP layer (composing the public static steps in your own deployment script and plugging in your own `expLayoutsSiteInstaller` subclass).
