Maho Admin Module

The Mageaustralia_Storefront module connects the Maho admin to the Cloudflare Workers storefront, keeping KV data in sync automatically.

Overview

When a merchant saves a product, category, CMS page, or store config in the Maho admin, an event observer captures the change and queues it in the core_flag table. A cron job runs every minute to process the queue, pushing only the changed entities to Cloudflare KV via the Worker's /sync endpoint. This means KV data is typically less than 1 minute behind the admin.

Event Observers

The module listens to 8 Maho events:

Event	Trigger
catalog_product_save_after	Product created or updated
catalog_product_delete_after	Product deleted
catalog_category_save_after	Category created or updated
catalog_category_delete_after	Category deleted
cms_page_save_after	CMS page created or updated
cms_page_delete_after	CMS page deleted
core_config_data_save_after	Store config changed
store_save_after	Store view settings changed

Each observer writes a debounced entry to the sync queue. Multiple saves of the same entity within a cron cycle are collapsed into a single sync operation.

Sync Queue

The queue uses Maho's core_flag table:

Flag code: storefront_sync_queue
Flag data: JSON array of {type, id, action} entries

The cron job (storefront_process_queue) runs every minute:

1. Reads and clears the queue atomically
2. Groups changes by entity type
3. Calls the Worker's /sync endpoint for each group
4. Logs results to storefront_activity_log table

API Clients

Storefront API Client

Model/Api/Storefront.php — communicates with the Cloudflare Worker:

Method	Endpoint	Purpose
syncProducts($ids)	POST /sync	Push product data to KV
syncCategories($ids)	POST /sync	Push category data to KV
syncCmsPages($ids)	POST /sync	Push CMS pages to KV
syncConfig()	POST /sync	Push store config to KV
fullSync()	POST /sync	Full catalog sync
purgeCache($urls)	POST /cache/purge	Purge edge-cached URLs

Cloudflare API Client

Model/Api/Cloudflare.php — communicates directly with the Cloudflare API:

Method	Purpose
listKvKeys($prefix)	List KV keys by prefix
deleteKvKeys($keys)	Delete specific KV keys
purgeZoneCache($urls)	Purge Cloudflare zone cache
createDnsRecord($name, $content)	Add DNS record

Uses Symfony HttpClient (not cURL or Prototype.js).

Admin Dashboard

The module adds an admin section under System > Storefront with four controllers:

Dashboard

Overview of sync status, last sync time, KV key count, and recent activity log.

Sync Controller

Step-by-step sync interface:

• Quick Sync — process pending queue items
• Full Sync — re-sync all catalog data (products, categories, CMS, config)
• Selective Sync — sync specific entity types

Cache Controller

• Purge URLs — purge specific edge-cached URLs
• Purge All — purge entire edge cache via Cloudflare API
• Delete KV Keys — remove specific keys from KV

Onboard Controller

Multi-step provisioning for new stores:

1. Create DNS record (CNAME to Workers)
2. Configure Worker routes
3. Initial full sync
4. Verify storefront responds

Includes automatic rollback on failure.

Activity Logging

All sync operations are logged to the storefront_activity_log table:

Column	Description
action	sync, purge, delete, onboard
entity_type	product, category, cms_page, config
entity_ids	JSON array of affected IDs
status	success, error
message	Result details or error message
created_at	Timestamp

Configuration

Admin config under System > Configuration > Mageaustralia > Storefront:

Field	Description
Storefront URL	Worker URL (e.g., https://demo.mageaustralia.com.au)
Sync Secret	Shared secret for authenticating sync requests
Cloudflare API Key	For direct CF API operations
Cloudflare Email	CF account email
Cloudflare Zone ID	For cache purge and DNS operations
Auto Sync Enabled	Enable/disable observer-driven sync
Sync Cron Schedule	Cron expression (default: * * * * *)
