Configuration

This plugin introduces a wordpress option, and a plugins option. These are both array structures that you can configure either in a PHP based config, or a YAML based config.

An example of what a .php config for a Wordpress might look like:

$env->database(array(
	'name' => 'my_wordpress',
	'user' => 'root',
	'password' => '',
	'host' => '127.0.0.1',
	'charset' => 'utf8'
));

$env->wordpress(array(
	'version' => '3.5.2',
	'db_prefix' => 'wp_',
	'base_uri' => ''
));

$env->plugins(array(
	'advanced-custom-fields' => array('version' => 'latest'),
	'gravityforms' => array('dir' => 'lib/gravityforms')
));

And an example of a YAML based config:

database:
	name: my_wordpress
	user: root
	password:
	host: 127.0.0.1
	charset: utf8

wordpress:
	version: 3.5.2
	db_prefix: wp_
	base_uri: /wordpress # Base uri for Wordpress installation (example: dev.local/wordpress)

plugins:
	more-types: {version: latest}
	more-fields: {version: 2.1, svn: http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/more-fields}
	gravityforms: {dir: some_other_dir/gravityforms}
	my-plugin: {branch: origin/master, git: https://github.com/dude/my-plugin.git}

Plugins can be provided with:

• version - defaults to "latest"
• location (git/svn/dir) - defaults to Wordpress plugin repository
• branch - Specify which branch of a repository to use

Structure

You can certainly use this plugin however you please, but some tasks are expecting a certain Wordpress structure that I feel is much better than the typical Wordpress folder structure. Here we go:

deploy/             This is where your Pomander configs go (nothing weird about that)
public/             Welcome to your new wp-content folder.
--- themes/
--- uploads/
vendor/             Plugins go in here.
--- plugins/
wordpress/          Your Wordpress installation goes here. You should never really have to go into this folder
wp-config.php       See that? We keep wp-config outside of your wordpress installation for added security

Examples

Moving Uploads

Grab uploads from production to ease development:

$ pom production uploads:pull

You can chain commands to move uploads between environments:

$ pom production uploads:pull staging uploads:push
