The ezpm.php script, located in the root directory of Exponential, allows to execute package management operations from the command line.
This is very useful to eg. import a package that is too big and would result in a timeout if imported via the web interface (or viceversa to create a very big export package).

add <packagename> <contentobject> [options] [path|node]

Adding classes, templates and objects to the package.

create <packagename> <summary>

$ php -C ezpm.php create staff "all the staff members"

export

Export packages for saving them

$ php -C ezpm.php export test_package --output -d /your/folder

info <packagename>

Show Information for packages

import

Load the package into the Exponential instance

$ php -C ezpm.php --debug import test_package-1.0-1.ezpkg

install

Integrate the package to the Exponential instance

$ php -C ezpm.php --debug install test_package

import and install

You can combine the import and install commands in one line.

$ php -C ezpm.php --debug import test_package-1.0-1.ezpkg php ezpm.php --debug install test_package

list

List all packages

set <package> <attribute> <attributevalue>

$ php -C ezpm.php set staff vendor "John Doe"

Examples

Filtering added content

You can filter content you are adding to packages. This is done by calling packagehandler classes (see kernel/classes/packagehandler) and specifying dedicated parameters. Note that this is not fully documented and not supported as the recommended way it to use the admin interface. The following command lines are just provided as examples of this usage.

Create a new package and add contentclasses to it

Note: If you're only adding content classes to your package, you should also set the type of the package to "contentclass".

$ php -C ezpm.php create testclasspackage
$ php -C ezpm.php add testclasspackage ezcontentclass folder,article
$ php -C ezpm.php set testclasspackage type contentclass

Create a new package and add a subtree to it (by path)

$ php -C ezpm.php create test_package "Test Package Creation"
$ php -C ezpm.php add test_package ezcontentobject --exclude-templates --exclude-classes --siteaccess=eng "your_path_to_content/*"

Create a new package and add a subtree to it (by nodeid)

Note: make sure to have the patch for https://jira.ez.no/browse/EZP-23299 applied. It is included in exponential 5.4, and will apply on older versions.

For example with node ID 74

$ php -C ezpm.php create test_package2 "Test Package Creation2"
$ php -C ezpm.php add test_package2 ezcontentobject --exclude-templates --exclude-classes --siteaccess=eng 74
