Is there are a (safe) way to delete the demonstration Product Types in Commerce Kickstart 2 without the entire Drupal install?
It appears that the Commerce Kickstart 'Reset' function simply empties the entire db. (yikes).
I've read many discussions on this but they tend to go back to 2011. I was hoping there was a more current (and hopeful) answer. We want to get rid of all the 'Drinks', 'Tops', etc. but keep the Products/Types and other content we've created.
hmm my understanding was that Kickstarter kit was a "hey see what it can do once fully configured!" example of Commerce. Understanding the setup -- you could then go back and install/configure Commerce by hands to your needs.
That being said Commerce content I think is just Entities and Nodes, If you want an non-SQL way to reset a site (i've written ~34 sql Delete statements to nuke content from sites in an sql script for drupal -- it's not that hard you just look at node and field_* tables mostly when clearing content from a drupal site) I'd recommend looking at the Delete All module and the documentation found in drush help delete-all as a GUI means of selecting out types of content to nuke from a drupal site.

Step by step guide to installing Commerce from scratch The following guide was used in a presentation at DrupalCamp Montreal 2014. The presentation focused on how to install Drupal Commerce from scratch (i.e. we won't use the Commerce Kickstart distribution). This is an elevator guide. So get in now because we're going up! FIRST FLOOR https://www.drupal.org/project/commerce Install required modules drush dl ctools views entity rules addressfield commerce drush en ctools views entity rules addressfield commerce -y Installation instructions https://www.drupal.org/node/1007434 use the provided drush commands drush en commerce commerce_ui -y drush en commerce_customer commerce_customer_ui -y drush en commerce_price -y drush en commerce_line_item commerce_line_item_ui -y drush en commerce_order commerce_order_ui -y drush en commerce_checkout commerce_payment commerce_product -y drush en commerce_cart commerce_product_pricing -y drush en commerce_product_ui -y drush en commerce_tax_ui -y Add a few more useful modules drush dl admin_menu module_filter zurb-foundation-7.x-4.x-dev jquery_update -y drush pm-disable toolbar drush en admin_menu_toolbar module_filter jquery_update -y Create a responsive Zurb subtheme drush fst Your Subtheme Name your_subtheme_name 'A subtheme of ZURB Foundation.' Set jQuery update to 1.7+ (admin/config/development/jquery_update) Enable your new responsive subtheme (admin/appearance) SECOND FLOOR Quick tour of what we've got soo far 1 Product type named 'Product' 2 tax types LOTS of hidden functionnalities NO visible products and NO, you don't get a store out-of-the-box Commerce Kickstart gives you that but you won't know how to get there if you don't try from scratch Create a new product type 'Download' add file & image fields Revisit 'Product', the product type installed by Commerce add an image field Let's create products a physical product (Product) a virtual product (Download) Now what? where's the store? Gotcha! THIRD FLOOR Out-of-the-box Store is for wimps! ; ) Commerce products only exist in the backstore products are like brown boxes in a warehouse: they're only accessible to the store's employees in order to make products accessible to customers, you need to put them on display in a nice and attractive way how do we do that in Drupal? we use content types, of course Create a content type for displaying products how does Commerce differentiate & recognize product displays from regular content types? a product reference field! create product displays and configure them Alright, let's shop! wait a minute, nothing happens when i click Add to cart! Gotcha! FOURTH FLOOR In case you didn't read the fine print: some assembly is required, like Ikea, but without the KISS diagrams Introducing Rules... doh! where's the UI ? drush en rules_admin -y go to admin/config/workflow/rules and add a rule that redirects to the cart Welcome to the cart Time to checkout wouldn't you say ? doh!... something isn't right where are the taxes? Like I said, Out-of-the-box taxes are for wimps! ; ) Commerce's taxe model is simple there are tax types; like there are product types and content types and then there are tax rates which you create using one of the available tax types Create GST & PST tax rates (note - these taxes are specific to the Province of Quebec in Canada where the camp was held) Revisit the checkout Darn, the taxes are not displayed in the expected order! (i.e. GST on this first row, PST on the second row) How do we change the order in which taxes are displayed ? the hard way: by overriding theme_commerce_price_formatted_components() in the theme's template.php (see https://drupal.org/node/1095576#comment-8721217) the easy way: by creating separate tax types for GST and PST and playing with their respective weight (note that at the time of this writing, the behaviour for tax weights does not follow the convention where lighter weights float to the top; see this issue) Are we in business yet? Not quite. FITH FLOOR Setting up a payment method for simple tests, use the 'Example payment' module (provided by Commerce) For serious tests and real sales, you can use Stripe or Paypal or whatever works for you. For the purpose of this presentation,I used Stripe. www.stripe.com setup an account get the API keys (secret and publishable) Install & configure Stripe drush dl commerce_stripe drush en commerce_stripe -y add both keys to the Stripe payment method rule (admin/commerce/config/payment-methods/manage/commerce_payment_commerce_stripe) Time for some tests for this, we use the dummy credit cards provided by Stripe https://stripe.com/docs/testing When you're happy that all works like it should you can replace de test API keys by the live API keys. Done!
Delete statements as needed. Eg, I'm the developer -- I should understand the schema. For your second question there is no flag that denotes the content as dummy data you seem to be assuming that all users will be inserting their own content and running with the kickstarter setup and wanting to clean it out as you are -- that's not strictly true. Your free to submit patches to add the functionality of course :)
This worked for me:
drush dis commerce_kickstart_product -y
drush vset commerce_kickstart_demo_store 0
drush en commerce_kickstart_lite_product -y
This seemed to allow one to delete the demo product types and such. Not sure if they are regenerated later or not.
drush dis commerce_kickstart_product -y should be enough. Then just remove them from content types page. Other commands will also change views and some other predefined settings what you might want to avoid.
