question. We'll have the logger send us an email if things go horribly wrong in the live environment.While we're on the topic of email, let's take some control over transactional emails in our environments.
It does introduce the complexity of needing a higher level of write access to your server, however, so you'll want to make sure you have shell access or a highly privileged FTP account that will allow you to edit files above the web root.One of the services you'll want enabled on test and, even more so, production, is good error logging and notification.
Now, you can monitor all outgoing emails, and know exactly who would receive them and what their contents would be in a production environment.We've been running our project on MAMP thus far. This allows you to deploy one coherent codebase to each environment without having to write a whole lot of conditional logic to serve each environment. Site configuration variables such as database connection details, environment type and remote login information. Content author configuration through the SiteConfig module. Environment specific variables like database connection details, API keys and other server configuration should be kept outside the application code in a separate .env file. It just needs to be tweaked a bit.
We've already talked a bit about the centrepiece of environment management in SilverStripe, the _ss_environment.php file. Just as a reminder, this file is intended to reside above the web root to provide environment-specific … webpack-config. Environment Variables. Silverstripe CMS's YAML based Configuration API for setting runtime configuration. You still need to import these into your main This approach opens up the option to easily update or modify any of the configs without nesting.You can easily extend the configuration provided, for example to add another external to the list provided:// the root path, where your webpack.config.js is located.// relative path from your css files to your other files, such as images and fonts// thirdparty folder containing copies of packages which wouldn't be available on NPM We're not writing PHP, so we don't have the convenience of if/else blocks, but fortunately, the SilverStripe YAML parser affords us a basic API for conditional logic.Perhaps in the test and production environments, we want to monitor transactional email from a bit of a distance. Therefore, it's important to start considering your environments early on in your development process.
This will be important later.Next we'll need to configure PHP.
Second, we want to be able to test whether those emails would be sent, and what their contents would be if we were in production.A simple solution to this problem is to simply force the "to" address to go to you in the dev envrionment. Silverstripe version 4.1.0 Basically just installed SS 4.1 on my local server, everything works fine but the WYSIYWG editor is not showing, and there are a load of errors in the console which I have attached. This NPM package provides a shared common webpack configuration used across all SilverStripe modules, this aims to reduce thirdparty module developer fatigue by having a source of truth for configurations and settings used in SilverStripe's webpack.
Therefore, it's important to start considering your environments early on in your development process.We've already talked a bit about the centrepiece of environment management in SilverStripe, the _ss_environment.php file.
We need to ensure that this yaml is only loaded in the dev environment. Each environment introduces new state, and managing that state can be really cumbersome if you don't have a solid set up. So we'll deviate from the pattern of doing live demos to something more instructional and informative.If you're running OSX, the good news is, you pretty much already have a LAMP stack installed on your machine.
this aims to reduce thirdparty module developer fatigue by having a source of truth for configurations and settings used in SilverStripe's webpack.This package provides only partial config declarations. Also uses the {@link i18nEntityProvider} interface to get dynamically defined entities by executing the {@link provideI18nEntities()} method on all implementors of this interface. In our dev environment, we want to suppress this, as we don't mind getting verbose errors, but once the project is on the web, you'll want to suppress showstopping errors as much as possible and simply log them out so you can proactively fix them.It's a good idea to throw these in your user code where appropriate. This can be a really annoying problem for a couple of reasons.
We don't want this setting to apply to all environments. To manage environment variables, as well as other server globals, the SilverStripe\Core\Environment class provides a set of APIs and helpers. If you're using a recent version of OSX, your php.ini file will be located in If you're using MySQL with SilverStripe, you'll want to edit the Because we've made updates to Apache and PHP, we'll need to restart the server.
