Shopware 6 plugin extension

The Findologic extension plugin for Shopware 6 allows manual adaptions to the behavior of the main Findologic plugin.

It's possible override, extend and replace components, to fit the needs of your store. The most common use case is to add additional data to the Findologic product export.

Download the latest zip file from our GitHub release page.

Follow the installation instructions in the Shopware documentation.

Please make sure to use the same major version as the base Findologic plugin. This means that 3.x is compatible with 3.x and 4.x is compatible with 4.x, etc.

Decorators

Adaptions need to be done using Symfony decorators.

By default the extension plugin decorates the AttributeAdapter and DefaultPropertiesAdapter, which are responsible to generate the attributes and properties of a product. Any adapter in FINDOLOGIC\Shopware6Common\Export\Adapters can be decorated. The original files are located within vendor/findologic/shopware6-common/src/Export/Adapters.

AttributeAdapter

This class can be used to customize the export of all attributes.

src/Export/Adapters/AttributeAdapter.php

<?php
 
declare(strict_types=1);
 
namespace FINDOLOGIC\ExtendFinSearch\Export\Adapters;
 
use FINDOLOGIC\Export\Data\Attribute;
use FINDOLOGIC\Shopware6Common\Export\Adapters\AttributeAdapter as OriginalAttributeAdapter;
use Vin\ShopwareSdk\Data\Entity\Product\ProductEntity;
 
class AttributeAdapter extends OriginalAttributeAdapter
{
    public function adapt(ProductEntity $product): array
    {
        $attributes = parent::adapt($product);
 
//        $attributes[] = new Attribute(
//            'Some attribute name',
//            ['I am an attribute value!']
//        );
 
        return $attributes;
    }
}

DefaultPropertiesAdapter

This class can be used to customize the export of the default properties.

src/Export/Adapters/AttributeAdapter.php

<?php
 
declare(strict_types=1);
 
namespace FINDOLOGIC\ExtendFinSearch\Export\Adapters;
 
use FINDOLOGIC\Export\Data\Property;
use FINDOLOGIC\Shopware6Common\Export\Adapters\DefaultPropertiesAdapter as OriginalDefaultPropertiesAdapter;
use Vin\ShopwareSdk\Data\Entity\Product\ProductEntity;
 
class DefaultPropertiesAdapter extends OriginalDefaultPropertiesAdapter
{
    public function adapt(ProductEntity $product): array
    {
        $properties = parent::adapt($product);
 
//        $properties[] = new Property(
//            'Some property name',
//            ['' => 'I am a property value!']
//        );
 
        return $properties;
    }
}

Autoloading

You only need composer autoloading in case you require additional composer dependencies.

While composer autoloading is disabled by default, you can always enable it by uncommenting the marked line in \FINDOLOGIC\ExtendFinSearch\ExtendFinSearch.

The base DefaultPropertiesAdapter allows you to add properties by extending the adapt function.

//...
public function adapt(ProductEntity $product): array
{
    $properties = parent::adapt($product);
 
    $properties[] = new Property(
        'Some property name',
        ['' => 'I am a property value!']
    );
 
    return $properties;
}

The part ['' => 'I am a property value!'] has an empty string as array index. An empty string as an array key, simply means that there is no usergroup, as property data can be usergroup-specific.

You can read more about usergroups in the libflexport documentation, which is the library used to build the export xml.

In case you have usergroup-specific data, properties which should be available for all usergroups, must be added individually for each usergroup.

By default Findologic maps all variants into a single product during product export. However there is still the possibility to show variant information on listing pages, but this information needs to be exported to Findologic.

Please follow the next sections to understand how the core plugin maps variants into a single product.

Basic product mapping

Shopware works with display groups, which are used to take one product and all its variants, and map them to one product. See the following table, which represents a simplified product table:

id	parentId	name	displayGroup
1	null	Findologic T-Shirt	null
2	1	Findologic T-Shirt (Black - White Logo)	1
3	1	Findologic T-Shirt (Gray - Orange Logo)	1

These are three separate products, two of those products are variants of Findologic T-Shirt. The ProductSearcher is responsible for fetching all variants of one display group, and mapping them together. This results in main product no longer being Findologic T-Shirt, but instead Findologic T-Shirt (Black - White Logo). To still have the data of the main product available in the export, the main product, and all other variants, are assigned as children of this variant.

Structure:

Findologic T-Shirt (Black - White Logo)
├── children
│   ├── Findologic T-Shirt (Gray - Orange Logo)
│   └── Findologic T-Shirt

This data structure is exactly like Shopware determines its results on listing pages. The used main variant in this case is typically the cheapest available variant. In case a product has no variants, or fan out properties in the product list is configured, the product has its own display group, so none of this reordering is happening.

Basic code structure

This extension will use the defined events from the main plugin.

src/Subscriber/ProductSubscriber.php

<?php
 
declare(strict_types=1);
 
namespace FINDOLOGIC\ExtendFinSearch\Subscriber;
 
use FINDOLOGIC\Export\Data\Property;

    public function afterVariantAdapted(AfterVariantAdaptEvent $event)

        $product = $event->getProduct();
 
        $this->variantData[] = [
            // Your variant data

                ])

Add basic variant data

src/Subscriber/ProductSubscriber.php

//...
 
public function afterVariantAdapted(AfterVariantAdaptEvent $event)
{
    $product = $event->getProduct();
 
    $this->variantData[] = [
        'name' => $this->getName($product),
        'url' => $this->getUrl($product),
        'price' => $this->getPrice($product)
    ];
}
 
//...
 
private function getName(ProductEntity $productEntity): string
{
    $name = $this->adapterFactory->getNameAdapter()->adapt($productEntity);
 
    return $name ? $name->getValues()[''] : '';
}
 
private function getUrl(ProductEntity $productEntity): string
{
    $url = $this->adapterFactory->getUrlAdapter()->adapt($productEntity);
 
    return $url ? $url->getValues()[''] : '';
}
 
private function getPrice(ProductEntity $productEntity): string
{
    $prices = $this->adapterFactory->getPriceAdapter()->adapt($productEntity);
 
    $prices = array_filter($prices, function (Price $price) {
        return array_key_exists('', $price->getValues());
    });
 
    return count($prices) ? current($prices)->getValues()[''] : '';
}
 
//...

This will export the name, url and price of each variant, the JSON would be like:

[
  {
    "name": "Findologic T-Shirt (Gray - Orange Logo)",
    "url": "https://store.com/Findologic-T-Shirt-Gray-Orange-Logo/411dc735cade4c8789421f9c2aaec51f",
    "price": 59.99
  },
  {
    "name": "Findologic T-Shirt",
    "url": "https://store.com/Findologic-T-Shirt/ad99a6257e1546f08dbe9886a48e4230",
    "price": 55.99
  },
  {
    "name": "Findologic T-Shirt (Black - White Logo)",
    "url": "https://store.com/Findologic-T-Shirt/7c18c5ff8aa548e1bdba6b738ac42f71",
    "price": 49.99
  }
]

Add images

For variant images, you will need to add the relevant variant associations as shown here. (cover and media)

Additionally: src/Subscriber/ProductSubscriber.php

// ...
 
public function afterVariantAdapted(AfterVariantAdaptEvent $event)
{
    $product = $event->getProduct();
 
    $this->variantData[] = [
        // ...
        'image' => $this->getImageUrl($product)
    ];
}
 
// ...
 
private function getImageUrl(ProductEntity $productEntity): string
{
    $images = $this->adapterFactory->getImagesAdapter()->adapt($productEntity);
 
    return count($images) ? current($images)->getUrl() : '';
}

Deal with variant-specific data

src/Subscriber/ProductSubscriber.php

// ...
 
private const VARIANT_PROPERTY = 'color';
 
//...
 
public function afterVariantAdapted(AfterVariantAdaptEvent $event)
{
    $product = $event->getProduct();
 
    foreach ($product->properties as $variantProperty) {
        // Ignore all properties except the property we want to export our variants off.
        if (
            !$variantProperty->group ||
            $variantProperty->group->getTranslation('name') !== self::VARIANT_PROPERTY)
        {
            continue;
        }
 
        $propertyName = $variantProperty->getTranslation('name');
 
        $this->variantData[$propertyName] = [
            'name' => $this->getName($product),
            'url' => $this->getUrl($product),
            'price' => $this->getPrice($product),
            'image' => $this->getImageUrl($product),
            self::VARIANT_PROPERTY => $propertyName
        ];
    }
}
 
// ...

After this implementation, the JSON would be like:

{
  "Gray": {
    "name": "Findologic T-Shirt (Gray - Orange Logo)",
    "image": "https://store.com/some/path/to/image_800x800.jpg",
    "url": "https://store.com/Findologic-T-Shirt-Gray-Orange-Logo/411dc735cade4c8789421f9c2aaec51f",
    "color": "Gray"
  },
  "Black": {
    "name": "Findologic T-Shirt (Black - White Logo)",
    "image": "https://store.com/some/path/to/image_800x800.jpg",
    "url": "https://store.com/Findologic-T-Shirt/7c18c5ff8aa548e1bdba6b738ac42f71",
    "color": "Black"
  }
}

Usergroup-specific variants

src/Subscriber/ProductSubscriber.php

//...
 
public function afterVariantAdapted(AfterVariantAdaptEvent $event)
{
    $product = $event->getProduct();
 
    $basicVariantData = [
        'name' => $this->getName($product),
        'url' => $this->getUrl($product),
        'image' => $this->getImageUrl($product)
    ];
 
    foreach ($this->adapterFactory->getPriceAdapter()->adapt($product) as $price) {
        $values = $price->getValues();
 
        $variantData = array_merge(
            $basicVariantData,
            [
                'price' => current($values)
            ]
        );
 
        $this->variantData[array_key_first($values)][] = json_encode($variantData);
    }
}
 
public function afterItemCompleted(AfterItemBuildEvent $event)
{
    $variantData = [];
    foreach ($this->variantData as $usergroup => $userGroupVariantData) {
        $variantData[$usergroup] = json_encode($userGroupVariantData);
    }
 
    $item = $event->getItem();
 
    if (count($this->variantData)) {
        $item->addProperty(
            new Property('variants', $variantData)
        );
    }
}
 
//...

variants must be exported for all usergroups. If a usergroup is not exported, this usergroup will not have any variants data.

An XML export with usergroup in properties may look like:

                ]
            ]]>
        </value>
    </property>
</allProperties>
<!-- ... -->

Sometimes the plugin doesn't add the associations needed in the extension. This may cause the associated field to always return `null. It's also the case if third party plugins extend the product entity with an additional table. Other examples include image URLs or color codes from variant properties.

In case it's required by the integration, you are required to add a cookie consent. Please see the Shopware 6 documentation about Adding a cookie to the cookie manager.

There is also an example available in our GitHub repository.

The Findologic base plugin already provides sorting options for the most common use-cases. The plugin uses SortingHandler to send the currently selected sorting option via API parameters to the Findologic Search-API (see all available SortingHandlers).

Therefore to handle custom sorting options, create a custom SortingHandler in the extension plugin, and override the responsible SortingHandlerService to include the created SortingHandler.

Prerequisites

Before a custom sorting can be used, make sure to export the value for the custom sort in the <sort> field in the export. See the XML Format documentation for further details.

Implementation

Step 1: Create a SortingHandler

Create the folder structure Core/Content/Product/SalesChannel/Listing/SortingHandler in the extension plugin, and add a custom sorting handler class. In this example it will be ThirdPartySortingHandler:

use FINDOLOGIC\Api\Requests\SearchNavigation\SearchNavigationRequest;
use FINDOLOGIC\FinSearch\Core\Content\Product\SalesChannel\Listing\SortingHandler\SortingHandlerInterface;
use Shopware\Core\Framework\DataAbstractionLayer\Search\Sorting\FieldSorting;
 
class ThirdPartySortingHandler implements SortingHandlerInterface
{
    public function supportsSorting(FieldSorting $fieldSorting): bool
    {
        // Enter your custom sort here.
        // To get the name of the sort, select the sort in the storefront and
        // add a dd($fieldSorting) here and refresh the page.
        return $fieldSorting->getField() === 'product.third_party_extension.field';
    }
 
    public function generateSorting(FieldSorting $fieldSorting, SearchNavigationRequest $searchNavigationRequest): void
    {
        $searchNavigationRequest->setOrder('shopsort ' . $fieldSorting->getDirection());
    }
}

Step 2: Decorate the SortingHandlerService

The SortingHandlerService holds all available sorting options. Therefore, you want to add your custom sort to this service. The service can be found in Findologic/Request/Handler. Simply override the getSortingHandlers method to include your own custom sorting handler.

namespace FINDOLOGIC\ExtendFinSearch\Findologic\Request\Handler;
 
use FINDOLOGIC\ExtendFinSearch\Core\Content\Product\SalesChannel\Listing\SortingHandler\ThirdPartySortingHandler;
use FINDOLOGIC\FinSearch\Core\Content\Product\SalesChannel\Listing\SortingHandler\SortingHandlerInterface;
use FINDOLOGIC\FinSearch\Findologic\Request\Handler\SortingHandlerService as OriginalSortingHandlerService;
 
class SortingHandlerService extends OriginalSortingHandlerService
{
    /**
     * @return SortingHandlerInterface[]
     */
    protected function getSortingHandlers(): array
    {
        return array_merge(
            parent::getSortingHandlers(),
            [
                new ThirdPartySortingHandler()
            ]
        );
    }
}

Step 3: Add the decorated service to the services.xml

As a last step, simply decorate in your src/Resources/config/services.xml the service of the main plugin:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<container xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xmlns="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services/services-1.0.xsd">
 
    <services>
 
        <service
            id="FINDOLOGIC\ExtendFinSearch\Findologic\Request\Handler\SortingHandlerService"
            decorates="FINDOLOGIC\FinSearch\Findologic\Request\Handler\SortingHandlerService"
            decoration-on-invalid="ignore"
        />
 
    </services>
</container>

Once this step is done, selecting your relevant sorting option will send the order parameter to the Findologic API.
