Configuration

The plugin has a few configuration settings. Settings are passed through the bootstrap.php file in the plugin.

Configuring OAuth Settings

You can add your own Consumer Oauth tokens, SSL certificates and passphrase and the ability to turn on or off logging of requests to the database - all in the bootstrap.php file.

ConnectionManager::create('xero_partner', array(
		'datasource' => 'Xero.XeroSource',
		'oauth_consumer_key' 	=> 'BZEFQ3HWZBDWKFHNIGVBHFERRLPI0',
		'oauth_consumer_secret' => '0AENJTCSOAT6VCRYHNSQJ84KM3K1PWU',
		'ssl' => array(
			'publicCert' => '/path/to/partner.p12',
			'privateCert' => '/path/to/privatekey.pem',
			'privateCertPass' => 'PASSPHRASE'
		),
		'logRequests' => true
));

OrganisationModel

Maps data received from Xero to a central organisation in your app.

Configure::write('Xero', array(
	'OrganisationModel' => 'Company'
));

This would, for example, allow you to retrieve an Invoice from the API and it will add the company_id foreign key.

Callbacks

The XeroUpdateShell attempts to save Xero entities into your database using the equivaltent model. You can add a callback to your local model, that will allow you to alter the entity data before it is saved.

beforeXeroSave(Array $entities)

Each models's beforeXeroSave() method is called before the model's save() method is called. $entities is the result of the API call to Xero for this particular endpoint.
