Folder structure

Commerce Manager has a very specific folder structure. Understanding this structure helps you modify existing subsystems and create and integrate new ones.

Basic structure

The basic structure is as follows:

• Apps. Root folder that contains all Commerce Manager Systems administration screens, such as Catalog System, Order System, and so on.
  • [SystemName]. Folder name of the system, such as Catalog for the Catalog System; files related to that system are stored there.
    • [SystemName].config. Application configuration file that defines all views for the system.
    • Config. Configuration folder.
    • View. Folder with views; may contain any number of subfolders.
      • [ViewName].xml. Specific view description for any view.
    • Settings.config
    • Permissions.config. Defines permissions for module.

For example:

Apps
  Catalog
    Config (configuration folder)
    View
      Catalog-List.xml
      CatalogBatchUpdate-List.xml
      CatalogEntrySearch-List.xml
      Currencies-List.xml
      MetaClass-List.xml
      MetaFields-List.xml
      Node-List.xml
      TaxCategory-List.xml
      Warehouse-List.xml
      Navigation (folder for the navigation)
        LeftMenu.xml
    Settings.config
    Permissions.config
