This plugin is designed to scrape reviews and review data from Vivino as they currently lack any form of API. All this plugin does is leverage Simple HTML DOM Parser to extract data from Vivino. It does not provide any front-end and exists solely to provide you with a clean array of data to manipulate.
This plugin has been tested to scrape a handful of wineries /wines/ pages without issue, though if you do encounter any issues feel free to open a new Github Issue.
As this plugin leverages composer and has the /vendor directory excluded via the gitignore file, it is possible that if you use git-based deployments/builds you will receive some sort of error getting the plugin to deploy. It is recommended that you run composer update on deployment and/or add composer update as a build-step in your automated deployment process.
- PHP >= 5.6 (Tested on 5.6 / 7, may work on others)
- php-curl (for Simple DOM Parser)
- A WordPress installation
- Composer (to install plugin dependencies)
- Clone this repo into your plugins directory (
git clone [email protected]:Radau/WordPress-Vivino-Reviews-Scraper.git cc-vivino-review-scraper), then runcomposer updateinside of the newly downloaded plugin folder. - Activate the plugin via the WordPress plugins menu.
- Go to
Settings > Vivino Reviewsand fill out your options data.
This plugin leverages WP-Cron which triggers every hour provided there is a visitor, which allows for a non-blocking way to scrape the data (so your visitors don't end up waiting 20 seconds to load a page). If you deactivate, then reactivate this plugin it will immediately attempt to scrape data with the options you had when it was deactivated.
If for any reason you need to re-run the scraping job. Simply go to the options page and click "Save Changes". This will take anywhere from a second to a few minutes depending on how much data it will scrape, so be patient.
This plugin serializes the scraped data into a WP Options field as JSON to maintain relationships. When attempting to access the data, simply use json_decode(get_option('cc_vivino_review_reviews')) to get the array of all of your data. From there, it is up to you to sort it out as you see fit. This plugin exists solely to get you the data.
Under your StarterSite extends TimberSite, have a filter for timber_context that points to a method within the class that grabs the options data. The example below will let you access {{ cc_vivino_reviews_data }} within Twig templates in Timber. If you want a different name, simply change the context name.
// Example
class StarterSite extends TimberSite {
function __construct()
{
add_filter('timber_context', array( $this, 'add_to_context' )); // Make sure you have this...
parent::__construct();
}
function add_to_context( $context )
{
$context['cc_vivino_reviews_data'] = json_decode(get_option('cc_vivino_review_reviews')); // And this
return $context;
}
}
It's assumed you've done the above and loaded your data into Timber Context. In this situation I will have $context['cc_vivino_reviews_data'], so I will be calling {{ cc_vivino_reviews_data }}.
