FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Salesforce Datasource plugin for CakePHP 3.x

Latest Stable Version Total Downloads Latest Unstable Version License

This plugin is now in Beta

You can install this plugin into your CakePHP application using composer.

The recommended way to install composer packages is:

Information

This has been somewhat of a learning curve for me, due to the nature of how Datasources are created in 3.x. I have tried to follow the patterns of the other SQL-like datasources, Eager loading is used (as in SQL sources) and there is a limited dialect.

I would have liked to do some processing on the WSDL as I did in my 2.x datasource in order to create the schema however this wasn't possible as I now needed to see the status of certain fields (readable / updateable) which has caused a need for a further call to the API.

Any API connections are cached for 1 hour (Salesforce timeout is 2 hours), after this time the connection will be refreshed (but this shouldn't matter as you are using this with a deferred execution method right?)

Notes

  1. This uses the PHP-Force.com toolkit as a dependency
  2. This uses SOAP and NOT REST (Because of Reasons™)
  3. I have only tested this with the Contact and Account SObjects, the Contact example is included in the plugin, to create more models to interact with other SObjects copy SalesforceContactTable as a template (see instructions below).
  4. Feel free to submit pull requests - here are a few examples of things I'd like to implement / test
    1. Associations between native Cake Tables & API Tables (I'm not sure this is actually possible though!)
    2. Tests (Most can probably be ripped from the core tests I assume) - I don't plan to do many as to test properly would require access to the API.
    3. Testing with all SObjects (currently I have only tested with a few but from experience with my version 2.x datasource this is usually enough to work with all SObjects)
    4. Efficiency increases.

Usage

  1. Do composer reqire as above
  2. Add to your bootstrap.php

  3. Create the connection in app.php like this:

    **Your SF_PASSWORD should be your password + security token**
  4. Get your Enterprise WSDL and place it in the app directory
  5. Create a test controller that looks something like this

Then browse to /salesforces and you should have a couple of the standard Salesforce records. If not then go back and repeat these steps. If you get an interesting error message then.... well sorry, I'm sure it will get fixed as I use it more.

Interfacing with other Salesforce Items

This should simply be a case of extending "SalesforcesTable" rather than Table with your chosen Item (e.g. Account)
