Prestashop
1. Installation and Configuration 
 The Forma Lms / Prestashop plugin is actually 2 separate plugins.  
 One to be installed to Prestashop, one to be installed to Forma Lms.  
 You can install them in no particular order, but they have to be both fully installed and configured for it to work properly.  
 1.1 Install the plugin to Prestashop 
 Login to your Prestashop e-commmerce site as Administrator, install the “ commerce.zip ” plugin to PrestaShop “modules” section. 
 After installing it, look for Forma Lms Commerce in the “modules” section 
 
 and click on “configure” 
 
 You need to provide 2 settings:  
 
 Insert the URL of your Forma Lms installation, and choose a code that you will use to link courses between the 2 environments. You can choose any code you like, you will have to use the same code in Forma as a “prefix” to the course code. More on that later.  
 1.2 Plugin Install to Forma Lms 
 The plugin is called  “formalmscommerce.zip”.  
 You can install the plugin by uploading the zip package from the menu 
 Admin > settings > plugin manager 
 
 
 
 Select the zip file from your computer and click upload 
 Click “plugin Install” 
 Click su “plugin activate” 
 
 1.3 Enable the Forma Lms API’s 
 Go to the administration section, then click on 
 Settings > system configuration > settings > API and Authentication 
 
 
 enable the API functionality 
 select the radio button “Single code for platform” 
 Leave the related field blank 
 
 1.4 Plugin Removal

 Click “Deactivate” 
 Click “Uninstall” 
 Click “Plugin Purge” 
 
 1.5 Reinstalling and updating the Plugin 
 To update or reinstall the plugin  
 
 Follow the uninstallation procedure 
 Go to: 
 
 Settings > System Configuration > Advanced > click “Clear Twig Cache” 
     3. Reinstall it, following the installation instructions 
 2 Using the Prestashop plugin 
 2.1 Creating a course and linking it to Prestashop 
 Create a course in your Forma Lms installation, and use the same prefix that you have chosen in Prestashop 
 
 After the prefix, please insert a colon and a unique ID. The resulting code will link the course in Forma to the related product in Prestashop.  
 For example,  formalab:1 
 2.2 Creating a product in Prestashop and linking it to Forma 
 In Prestashop, from “Catalogue” go to “Products”.  
 
 add new product 
 select “virtual product” and add the name, as well as the same code that you have set in Forma Lms. The prefix plus the unique ID number.  
 then complete the configuration just like in the regular Prestashop workflow.  
 
 2.3 How to buy a course 
 Once everything is set up in Prestashop and Forma, you’re ready to start selling courses on your Prestashop e-commerce website.  
 
 The user chooses a product, then proceeds to check out.  
 
 
 If the user already has an account, he just pays.  
 If not, he’ll register a new account and will receive an automatic e-mail with his credentials.  
 After registering, the user will also be registered to Forma Lms.  
 If the user pays with credit card, the order status will automatically be “Accepted” and he will automatically be enrolled to the same course in Forma Lms.  
 If the payment is with wire transfer, you will need of course to manually accept his payment and “update status” in order for the Prestashop to Forma workflow to be closed.

Plugin Installation
General procedures for plugin installation, update, and removal 
 Please note that since January 2025 Forma Cloud plugins are not available anymore for public download. This page is kept as a reference only for legacy users. 
 Plugin installation 
 You can install the plugin by uploading the installation zip package from the  Forma LMS plugin manager . Log in your Forma installation as super-administrator and browse to: 
 admin > settings > plugin manager 
 
 Select the zip file from your computer and click upload. The plugin will now be listed in the available plugins table. 
 Click “plugin Install” 
 Click on “plugin activate” 
 
 
 Plugin removal 
 To remove the plugin, go to settings  > plugin manager and:: 
 
 Click “Deactivate” 
 Click “Uninstall” 
 Click “Plugin Purge” 
 
 Plugin Update 
 To update or reinstall the plugin:  
 
 Follow the uninstall procedure 
 Go to Settings > System Configuration > Advanced > click “Clear Twig Cache” 
 
 What happens if I installed the wrong version and my Lms crashes? 
 Never mind, you can always disable a plugin from your DB by setting to 0 the value of the “active” field in the core plugins table. This is the query you have to launch from the SQL panel of phpMyAdmin to modify the field: 
 UPDATE `core_plugin` SET `active` = 0 WHERE `name` = 'Coursealert'; 
 Of course this is an example based on Coursealert. Replace the value with the name of the plugin you want to disable. 
 Translations 
 Plugin translations can be edited and managed via the standard Forma  language manager . 
 Just search for some word or filter by the selected plugin, and translate as for any other Forma label.
