​@@MarkShust Do you or are you planning and course for PWA with magento on Macadamy?

[@MarkShust]

​@@KaFFi3N I don't have plans to create a PWA Studio course -- AFAIK, that project is dead (though it's my most requested topic). You can see the contribution charts for yourself at github.com/magento/pwa-studio/graphs/code-frequency -- though there were some pushes lately, of all the devs that have worked with PWA Studio, none of them mentioned that they actually liked working on it, which I believe is an important factor. It's possible that I'll cover PWA-related material through another headless solution that has more traction and higher developer happiness, such as Vue Storefront.

Hi Mark, Thanks for another greta video. Just had a quick question. How many hrs do you roughly estimate it would take to update (including bug fixes etc) a magento site with barely any modules added on from 2.2.7 to 2.4.7? Very rough ball park would be great. Thanks

[@MarkShust]

For “barely any modules” I will assume that is around 3 modules. you’ll need to audit those modules and update all of them to new versions, while also stepping Magento through the major versions. 2.2.7 is a very old version so you should step it up to 2.3.0, then 2.3.1, 2.3.2, etc. I don’t like skipping versions when upgrading as there could be issues with the upgrade, and it could be hard to detect which version is causing the issue (and why). You should also test all functionality of the site along with all modules in each step up. Very time consuming!! And if the site is running a third-party theme, I wouldn’t even attempt it without removing that theme first. You could of course jump straight from 2.2.7 to 2.4.7, but this rarely works well and will most likely fail. Note that you have package and system dependencies that could also change with every version. My ballpark is “months” 😄

Good morning Mark, 😀 I have a question, is there a way to install directly on a cloud instance by running the command (composer require acme/package) I have tried but they do not provide permissions on the instances, or they can only be installed by uploading the file (with git) composer.json composer.lock from a local environment, Best regards

[@MarkShust]

Changes to packages and etc. should always flow through code. So the process for this would be to commit the composer json/lock files through VCS. if you don’t do this, you create an inconsistent environment state.

[@aurelioflores4571]

@@MarkShust thank so much

[@aurelioflores4571]

One more question, according to your extensive experience, which method is best to generate local Magento cloud environments, with docker or raw files, that is, exporting the database from the cloud to the local environment and files, etc. Do you know any tools to produce a local Magento cloud environment, any tutorial? Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, best regards 😃

[@MarkShust]

@@aurelioflores4571 I just use docker-magento for everything -- even Adobe Commerce Cloud projects. I don't often need to pull down a database, but when I do, I have a simple bash script which imports it to a local database and then updates the related config values to get it to run locally (base_url, etc.).

[@aurelioflores4571]

@@MarkShust thank you so much, do you know any concise docker-magento tutorial (or videotutorial)

[@ElinaH-gm4sm]

Hi, is there anyone who can help me to use Magento 2.4.6？ I am building a website with magento 2.4.6 templates, but don't know how to change the theme contents such as tel nos, add, email, banners to my own design. anyone can help would be really appreciated

[@MarkShust]

Hi Elina, for what it's worth, I made a course about theming to answer these exact questions! You can check it out at m.academy/courses/magento-2-power-theming/

@@MarkShust can you tell me directly where to edit our contact info? I got a headache as I know nothing about code, and just want tp get my website run, I am not a professional tech staff. Thank you!
