======================

This project is on github now !
https://github.com/OCA/connector-prestashop

======================

======================
= Knownledge requirement =
======================
This connector requires deep technical knowledge of OpenERP, PrestaShop and the connector's internals to be deployed successfully in production.

===================
= Installation for 7.0 =
===================
OpenERP Branch
$ bzr branch lp:prestashoperpconnect

   Other branch : see https://code.launchpad.net/~prestashoperpconnect-core-editors/prestashoperpconnect/7.0

Python lib (go in prestashoperpconnect and run the requirement.txt)

$ cd prestashoperpconnect
$ pip install -r requirement.txt

Documentation:
------------------------
We plan to create a community documentation.
If you are interested you are welcome to contribute.
The aim is to use the same documentation system as what have been done on magenterpconnect and connector (http://openerp-magento-connector.com http://openerp-connector.com)

===================
= Dependency for 6.1 =
===================
For dependency please don't use the extra-trunk branch, indeed the extra-trunk is a deprecated branch
Please use this branch :
https://code.launchpad.net/~extra-addons-commiter/e-commerce-addons/oerp6.1-stable-product-images-renamed
https://code.launchpad.net/~extra-addons-commiter/product-extra-addons/oerp6.1-stable-product-images-renamed
https://code.launchpad.net/~extra-addons-commiter/openobject-extension/oerp6.1-stable

For the prestapyt lib please use this version : https://github.com/akretion/prestapyt

The connector is only tested with PrestaShop 1.5. Using the connector with PrestaShop 1.4 would require some additionnal developments.

===============
= PrestaShop bugs =
===============

We have reported multiple bugs on the webservices of PrestaShop and the development team of PrestaShop fixed them very quickly ! We are very grateful for their help.

Here is a list of bugs on PrestaShop 1.5 that are still open and we would like to see fixed :
  * Bug when deleting image of product categories via the webservice http://forge.prestashop.com/browse/PSCFV-6559
  * Modification of a record via the webservices http://forge.prestashop.com/browse/PSCFV-4259
  * Can't fully create a Catalog price rule via the webservices http://forge.prestashop.com/browse/PSCFV-4583
  * No access to packs via the webservices : http://forge.prestashop.com/browse/PSCFI-6525 (development done ; merge proposal on the way)
  * Missing shop_id in /api/groups/1 : http://forge.prestashop.com/browse/PSCFV-8284

===============
= Overview/Features =
===============

    * import/export catalog between OpenERP and Prestashop
    * import orders into OpenERP
    * participating: you can read the FAQ or subscribe to the mailing list prestashoperpconnect-community@lists.launchpad.net of the https://launchpad.net/~prestashoperpconnect-community team

======================
= AGPL v3 open source license =
======================

=============
= 2 ways synch =
=============

    * You can start importing your fully customized product catalog from Prestashop in a few clicks
    * in any case, after the setup case, the expected workflow is that OpenERP drives your ecommerce, meaning you exports from OpenERP to Prestashop

============================================
= Rich and customizable catalog data model support =
============================================

TO REVIEW:

    * imports Prestashop custom product attributes in a click, even "select" or "multi-select" attributes (options are imported on the fly)
    * imports Prestashop custom attributes sets that translate to different OpenERP product views
    * attributes are grouped together in OpenERP view according to Prestashop attribute sets
    * import/export categories, extends OpenERP categories to support n categories by product

================
= Smart order import =
================

    * import only last orders, shop by shop
    * can generate pickings or invoices based on the order automatically at your will
    * provided you parameter the proper journal codes, can generate payments statements along the orders without the need to validate the invoice first

===============
= Network efficiency =
===============

    * update only products and inventory levels that changed since last synch (However the whole system is bound to Prestashop API 'speed')

=========
= Quality =
=========

    * has been essentially coded by two companies with highly experienced programmers
    * we didn't hesitate to rewrite completely the initial POC to turn it a powerful code
    * 50% of the resulting code is not tied to Prestashop specifically and as been designed to be reused by any commerce (same base used by https://launchpad.net/magentoerpconnect)
    * because it's multi-ecommerce you will not be tied to Prestashop...
