Connect OpenERP with Magento (with the new connector)

Sa, 2009-11-21 00:28 – admin

easiest for magento is the magentoconnect and use the following extensionkey:
magento-community/Openlabs_OpenERPConnector
if you need a more up to date version, check out:

bzr co lp:magentoerpconnect/magento-module

(bzr is a small version controll system; on debian based machines you can install it by aptitude install bzr).

---- swtich to console

i made up a new directory (just to have seperated whats from my package system and whats from bzr as source).

mkdir additional
cd additional
bzr co lp:magentoerpconnect
bzr branch lp:~openerp-commiter/openobject-addons/stable_5.0-extra-addons

link now the files into your addons directory

cd YOUROPENERPADDIONS DIRECTORY
ln -s YOURDIRWHITHYOURbzrFiles/magentoerpconnect .
ln -s YOURDIRWHITHYOURbzrFiles/stable_5.0-extra-addons .

--- switch to OpenERP Gui

log in as admin in your OpenERP; go to modules and install

product_m2mcategories, base_external_referentials, base_sale_multichannels, magentoerpconnect

if everthings right -> restart you openERP session (if not done before) and you should have a new option for the magento related stuff.
There you need to fill in all the basic data about your page

--- switch to website/admin panel

Make sure you have a webservice up and running for magento.

Create a new Webservice-user for the connection (its not the normal user, its a webservice user) and don't forget the password .
For the webservice user you need to set the Role which has full Access. In newer Versions of Magento this is the Role setting.
Check the rights in detail, or select ALL in the dropdown for the user rights.

--- and back to OpenERP

go back to your OpenERP set up the missing data like URL and user / password
at the first page you can set up the basic mapping.
First of you need to press the
- Reload Referential Mapping Templates

i do press the Sychronize Referentials most of the times another time, just to be sure.

Than you can run truth the button order (follow the Numers till the end). If you get Error Messages befor -> most of the time its a Rights or Password Problem. You can see that under details. Its the last stuff of the stacktrace.

And your magento should be synchron with your store now. Awesome, isn't it?

update
Since some days there is a new set of modules done by Camp to Camp. I will report more about it after my review. I just can say -> camp to camp modules are normaly some of the best, hope this would not change if they try to build connectors to Magento.
