1 Step - Setup ELX Site:
1. Ask mojo to setup dev environment. (create DB & folder on CS2805)
2. Create the site in ELX admin
3. Copy ELX loader files to respective site areas(trial, members, tour)
4. Edit configuration on each of the respective site areas (cms_include.ini) with the site settings.
5. Configure ELX site global configs in the CMS.
6. Create application folder for the site under /home/httpd/html/cms.lotzadollars.com/public_html/cms_admin/phptemplate with the templates, and the site bootstrap.
6. Run ELX Database creator
7. Create all required ELX symlinks
8. Import settings (media settings, tour settings, trial settings, all elx settings) from existing similiar site in ELX.
Step 2: Import content from Carma to ELX
1. To Import the content is via CSV files, first we need to know the structure ELX can read, download the CSV samples for Models, Sets, Categories (on ELX Admin)
2. For EACH content type(model, set, categories), you have to query carma database & tables and write a sql script to generate a result sets with the accepted ELX CSV structure.
3. Before you can import the content into the database, you have to symlink the sets content from the Carma Directory to ELX content directory, to achieve this, use the CSV generated in step 2 for sets and write a php script that will have to do the following:
- read the csv
- symlink each accordingly if it's photo or if it's a video set between the 2 dirs.
4. After all the above is done, you can know import each of the CSV generated through ELX CMS Admin to insert them in the database.
5. Create thumbnail sizes in ELX CMS Admin with the different thumbnail sizes used by the site.
6. Now you should be able to run all required batch operations.
Step 3. - Batch operations
1. First run import content on all sets imported.
2. Generate all thumbnails sizes created on the previous step.
3. Transcode the videos.
4. Recalculate sets XML
5. Some other batch operations might be needed.
Step 4 - Code site functionality, ELX template integration
