Topic: Bash Script to clone SOBI2 and Plugins (Cloning Tool)

[neo]

In my case the script didn't handle "report" (Report_listing plugin)...

As I said:

I used this script to create the extensions clone for the demo site and as You can see it works perfectly.

See self: http://joomla.sigsiu.net/extensions/report_listing/sid/1.html

Yes I see that this plugin is working, and I don't have a clue why I couldn't get the script to translate the plugin correctly. I tried the script on the latest version of the component, using the same procedure, and it installed smoothly and worked right out of the box!

I also noticed that you have retained the name of the plugin (i.e. "SOBI Report Listing") and the name of the report_init.php file. Does this mean that it's not necessary to change the name of the plugin or any of the files containing the "report-phrase"?

No it is not

I am thinking it's down to what Linux distro and then what is installed. I performed this on Linux webserver to which I have shell access but it wouldn't surprise me if they don't strip out a lot of stuff, partly because they don't want you running shell scripts.

In the end I found a couple of useful tools to do the cloning work locally. I can now do a whole clone including all modules and plugins within 5 minutes per directory.

http://www.filerenamer.net/ - can mass rename files within subdirectories
http://www.ultraedit.com/ - Can search/replace fully within subdirectories

Ok so I installed your test script (becasue i dont have shelll access to my linux host so cant make my own copies) and it seemed to work fine (using Joomla 1.56 in legacy mode) was able to link to the script and make changes etc.  But when i went to do an entry either from the front end or the backend I get this error. 

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class directory in /njafterdark/components/com_directory/directory.class.php on line 22

I saw someone earlier had the same issue but didnt see any ideas on how to fix it. 

So ideas?

I guess You have something (component/module/...) which declaring class called "directory" (the name was maybe to simple)

Ok so I installed your test script (becasue i dont have shelll access to my linux host so cant make my own copies) ...

My deal: for a review for SOBI2 in JED I'm ready to create SOBI2 clone (component only) for You

I wrote this little clone in vbscript which I run in excel - don't all shout, I'm slowly converting to linux

It seems to work *most* of the time - sometimes I get an error when writing a file which seems to resolve itself the second time around.

Go to excel/word/access - create a new module via the visual basic editor - insert the code - reference the scripting library (in tools->references)

Unzip the original copy of SOBI2 into the folder of your choice.

Then change the constants at the top for your folder / clone name / clone menu name and click run.

Code: [Select]

Const strFolder = "C:\Downloads\Joomla\SobiClone\Rentalz"
Const strClone = "Rentalz"
Const strMenuName = "Villa Rentals"

Sub SobiClone()
    ' References "Microsoft Scripting Runtime" c:\windows\system32\scrrun.dll
    Dim oFSO As New FileSystemObject

    Set oFolder = oFSO.GetFolder(strFolder)
   
    JustDoit oFolder

    Set oFSO = Nothing
   
    Debug.Print "Finished"
End Sub

        If InStr("php|txt|css|xml|ini", LCase(Right(oFile.Name, 3))) > 0 Or LCase(Right(oFile.Name, 4)) = "html" Or LCase(Right(oFile.Name, 2)) = "js" Then
            ' Open file and put into a string
            strText = ""
            Set oText = oFile.OpenAsTextStream(ForReading)
            If Not oText.AtEndOfStream Then
                strText = oText.ReadAll
            End If
            oText.Close

Sorry to come back on this subject but I like some clarification on the process to make a SOBI2 clone...

The process is:

Use of the bash script to create a clone of SOBI2 directory:

• Extract SOBI2 (or plugin or module etc)
• Copy the attached script (and unpack of course) into the directory where You've unpacked SOBI2 (or plugin or module etc)
• From the console execute sh clone_sobi.sh

Step by step:

1) Using webmin, uploaded the latest SOBI2 component zip file and extracted it on the server.
Question 1a— Use any ftp client to upload to your server, OK. The emplacement and name of the directory have any importance?
Question 1b— the actual SOBI2 component folder, when extracted(unzip) is name com_sobi2-RC2.8.7.2 do I upload this folder with this name to the FTP space choosen?

2) Uploaded your bash script to the same directory as the extracted SOBI2 Component.
Question 2— I upload the clone_sobi.sh file in the already upload (com_sobi2-RC2.8.7.2)?

3) Opened up my SSH client on my mac, and connected to the server.
Question 3a— On mac you use the Terminal Window go to File—> Connect to Server and choose the Protocol Secure Shell (ssh), what do you put in the User field and do you choose SSH (Automatic) or SSH 1 or SSH 2 in the server field do you enter the adress like this: http://www.yourdomainname.com?
Question 3b— To install local, what do you put in the User field and for the Server (http://localhost:8888/pathtoyoursite/?
Question 3c—How do you know that you are connected (Terminal Window)?

4) Changed directories to my directory where the bash script and extracted SOBI2 files were.
Question 4— I don’t understand this one?

5) Executed the bash script with the 'sh clone_sobi.sh' command.
Question 5— Do you just enter where the cursor is sh clone_sobi.sh and press Return (Enter)   

6) Followed the prompts in the script to name my new clone.
Question 6— Just input the choosen new name for the component... ex: SOBI2_clone1?

7) The script completed successfully, verified by observing the renamed files in the directory.

8 ) In Joomla 1.5, went to the component install screen and used the INSTALL DIRECTORY option (the directory where the extracted and now modified SOBI2 files were).

9) Clicked the install button and SUCCESS! Component installed successfully.

Sorry to ask details, but I’m not familiar with the terminal Window......

I think I successfully created the clone using clone_sobi.sh in Mac OS terminal. I archived it, uploaded, and got this:

Code: [Select]

Warning: zip_read() expects parameter 1 to be resource, integer given in /home/mysite/public_html/libraries/joomla/filesystem/archive/zip.php on line 234

Warning: zip_close() expects parameter 1 to be resource, integer given in /home/mysite/public_html/libraries/joomla/filesystem/archive/zip.php on line 250
Unable
I'm using this on Joomla 1.5.7 (legacy enabled), and SOBI2 2.9 SVN 4480.

Hello All,

I just ran the clone_sobi.sh on RC2.8.7.2

Only had one small issue!

Renaming \033[1m./sobi2.cache.class.php\033[0m to \033[1m./directory.cache.class.php\033[0m
mv: invalid option -- T

This mv: invalid option -- T was the error for all files to be renamed.

I simply edited the clone_sobi.sh file

mv -fT $filename $newname

Removed the T

And everything worked like a charm.
