Introduction to the Zoop Create script
We are currently working on a new addition to Zoop, a script that will create a new project for you and certain elements of that project. It is meant to be run from a CLI.
Basic Usage
php zoop_create.php method params
Possible Methods
- project (name)
- zone (name)
- config (name)
Examples
Paths assumed, please replace with your own locations.
Creating a new zone with zoop_create
$ cd ~/public_html $ php ../zoop/zoop_create.php project project_name
Creating a new zone with zoop_create
$ cd ~/public_html/project_name $ php ../zoop/zoop_create.php zone zone_name
Creating a new configuration file using zoop_create
$ cd ~/public_html/project_name $ php ../zoop/zoop_create.php config component_name
Shell Script
Another smart idea is to create a quick script and place it in your /usr/local/bin or ~/bin (make sure it is in your path) that is a wrapper for zoop_create. This will enable you to type $ zoopcreate project foo regardless of the path of the zoop_create.php file.
This script would look like...
#!/bin/bash php /path/to/zoop/zoop_create.php "$@"
make sure the script you create is executable with a nice
chmod u+x filename
