Managing your Webservices in PrestaShop 1.5

After learning to configure the general webservices in our last article in the Working with Webservices course, we will now show how to manage the webservices in a general manner. These functions apply only to the webservices you select, as opposed to all of them. This article will show you how to enable/disable, edit, and delete webservices. Follow along with the instructions below to learn how to manage your webservices in PrestaShop 1.5

    Deleting Webservice
    From here there are two ways to remove a webservice from the list. The first way is to click on the checkbox to the left side of the webservice you want to delete. You can select more than one webservice in this manner. Once you have selected your items, click the Delete Selected button underneath the list.

    The second way is to click the Delete icon that looks like a trashcan on the right side of the respective row for the webservice you want to remove.

    Whichever method you used, you will be met with a confirmation pop-up window. Select the OK button to confirm the deletion.

    Editing Webservices
    Locate the webservice you would like to edit and click on the Edit icon (the one that looks like a pencil and paper) on the right hand side of
    the respective row. This will open up to another screen so you can edit any of the followign fields for the webservice:

    KeyThe access key generated by the button just underneath
    Key DescriptionDescription of the key for identification
    StatusEnabled (green check) or Disabled (red X)
    PermissionsChecked permissions are granted to the webservice

    Enabling/Disabling Webservices
    You can enable or disable a service by either using the edit method described above, or by clicking on the checkbox to the left side of the webservice you want to enable/disable. If using this way, you can select more than one at a time.

    Once you have the desired webservices selected, you enable or disable them by selecting either the Enable Selection or  Disable Selection buttons below the list. Once you select button the  Enabled field for the webservices you selected will respond by either showing a green checkmark (enabled) or a red X (disabled).
