Getting Started

Once installed, Elysium adds new elements to your Shopping Experience editor. Simply create a new shopping experience page or edit an existing one, then drag the Elysium Slider, Elysium Banner, or Elysium Section elements onto your page. Configure your content using the intuitive settings panel - no coding required.

Elasticsearch (technical preview)

1. Enable ES in admin SHOPWARE_ADMIN_ES_ENABLED=1 and set an url ADMIN_OPENSEARCH_URL=http://localhost:9200, for example
2. Run bin/console es:admin:index or other methods to index the existing Elysium Slides entities
3. Elysium slides will now appear in admin search

To verify that the Elysium Slides was corectlly indexed, visit:

http://<opensearch_url>/sw-admin-blur-elysium-slides_*/_search?pretty
http://localhost:9200/sw-admin-blur-elysium-slides_*/_search?pretty

In the response there should be the indexed slides with their search strings. Note es:admin:test ignores custom entities so no entries will return here
