shopify-themer.pl - Supports the pushing and pulling of themes from a shopify store.
shopify-themer.pl action [options]
action Action can be one of several things. info Spits out a bunch of theme information in JSON form. Mainly used for debugging, and gedit integration. pullAll Pulls all themes from the shop pushAll Pushes all assets from all themes. push <ID/Name> Pushes all assets from the specified theme. pull <ID/Name> Pulls all assets form the specified theme. installGedit Checks for gedit on the system and then installs the appropriate plugin into the gedit configuration folder. interactive Causes the script to be interactive; useful if you want to do something non-transactional, like continuous interaction with gedit. Will drop to a command line, and await the above actions. To exit, type exit. --help Displays this messaqge. --fullhelp Displays the full pod doc. --wd Sets the working directory to be something other than . This following three parameters only need to be speciefied once per working directory, as it will be saved in a hidden file in that directory. --url Sets the shop url. --api_key Sets the api key of your private application. --email Sets the email you want to log in with. --password Either your private application's password when used with api_key, or your account's password when used with email.
Shopify themer is a simple script which uses WWW::Shopify::Private and WWW::Shopify to fetch themes and assets from a Shopify store. It is meant to be used as either a standalone application, or integrated with Gedit as a plugin. It also has the ability to fetch/push pages from the Shopify store.
The gedit plugin is written in python, but ultimately is simply a wrapper around this script. Currently, support is limited to those OSs which can make symlinks and can install gedit. This means that it should also work (experimentally) on Windows and Mac. The system is mainly tested on Linux, so support for Linux is definitely higher priority than for other systmes.
Normally, you only have to specify the shop url, api key/email and password once per working directory/site. Don't try and create multiple site themes in the same directory as this is a _BAD_ _IDEA_.
The Shopify shop is the ultimate arbitrator of what is the 'final' version of a file; this makes good sense when multiple people are working on a shop, but may be somewhat annoying. What this means, is that:
For pushing: Files that are locally changed, and remotely not, will be pushed. Files that are locally changed, and remotely changed, will not be pushed. Files that are locally unchanged will only be pushed if the file is missing on the server.
For pulling: Files that are locally and remotely changed will be overwritten locally, so keep an eye out for this. Files that are locally not, and remotely chagned will be overritten locally. Files that are not present locally and remotely present will be pulled.
