Publishing and UnPublishing created Products
UPDATED
The current set-up regarding Publishing and UnPublishing is outlined below, however, elements are due to change in mid-June.
Current Status;
Once Products are in PIM and have been optimised and have images they are sent via the WebAssortment JSON to CT, or added manually to CT if no PIM or a Bundle.
Once all the steps have been follow in each scenario, and the product is Published in CT, the next step is to enter the editorial content on to the Drupal page (node).
Once all steps have been taken the product page/node will appear in the backend of Drupal unpublished. There are some checks that can be taken if Product does not appear, see here. If these checks have been done and still no product is appearing a ticket can be raised.
Once a Product is unpublished in CT the Product will be unpublished in Drupal. The controller for product assortments is ultimately CT.
Re-publishing a Product is just a matter of changing the status in CT, the editorial content is saved as the Product page/node in Drupal.
- Add Product to PIM assortment (product sent from PIM to CT)
- Publish Product in CT with relevant stock/price (product sent from CT to Drupal)
- Products will appear unpublished
- Initially publish Product in relevant language in Drupal (once editorial data is complete)
- Unpublish in CT (unpublishes in Drupal - node will not be deleted & editorial content will be saved)
- Re-Publish in CT (to change status in Drupal)
The CRON step has been removed altogether.
