Hur du ställer in ditt första PIM iPMC- Extension på 5 minuter
Den här gången visar jag dig hur du ställer in din första iPMC- Extension på 5 minuter. Vi kommer att starta ett nytt VS-projekt med fördefinierade mallar som finns i inRivers Community (https://community.inriver.com). Efter installationen kommer vi att utlösa metoden ”Test()” (alla inRiver- extensions har den här metoden). Låt oss börja!
Förkrav: Gå till https://community.inriver.com/product/technical-descriptions/extensions/visual-studio-2017-templates/ och följ guiden för hur du ställer in mallar för inRiver Visual Studio
1. Create a new project. I will call mine “Sigma.iPMC.Demo” and I will create a “Scheduled Extension”
2. Right click the project and go to “Manage NuGet Packages…” Restore packages and go to “Updates” tab and update the “inRiver” package to the latest stable version.
3. (Optional) Change name of the predefined “MyScheduledExtension.cs” and “MyExtension” class name. I will use “DemoScheduledExtension” for both.
4. Add a return message to the Test() method. I will also add a log message so that we can confirm that logging is working. A tip is to log out your “ExtensionId” when logging. It makes it easier to see what extension that does what in the “ants war” of log messages in Control Centers log.
5. It’s time to build your extension and then create the zip package that we will upload to Control Center. Rename the zip file to something meaningful. The zip file name will be used as an ID for your package in ControlCenter. (“.pdb” files does not need to be included).
6. Go to Connect -> Packages and upload the package to your ControlCenter. Don’t forget to press “Upload” button after dropping the file in the drop area.
7. Go to Connect -> Extensions and press “Add Extension”. Fill in the form to set up your extension.
My extension settings:
Extension Id: SigmaDemoExtension
Package: Sigma.iPMC.Demo.zip
Assembly Name: Sigma.iPMC.Demo.dll
Assembly Type: Sigma.iPMC.Demo.DemoScheduledExtension
Extension Type: ScheduledExtension
Tip: Assembly Name is your extension class namespace + extension class name
8. Now everything is set up! Let’s press Test and confirm that everything is working! Now a small alert box should show up in the lower right corner containing your return message. Don’t forget to check your log message also!
