Demo Data Pipeline

Documentation for the demo data export/import system.

Overview

Section titled “Overview”

The demo data pipeline anonymizes production data into a portable JSON fixture, enabling realistic demo environments that always look “fresh.”

Export

Section titled “Export”

Run on the production server:

Terminal window
wp rondo demo export

Creates fixtures/demo-fixture.json in the theme directory with:

  • All people (anonymized names, addresses, phones, emails)
  • All teams and commissies (names preserved)
  • Discipline cases, tasks, activities, notes
  • Settings:
    • Fee categories, role config, family discount config
    • Anniversary milestone config for Jubilarissen (rondo_anniversary_milestones)
    • Finance config used by invoices/finance dashboard (rondo_finance_*, anonymized/placeholders)
    • Membership pass wallet config (rondo_membership_pass_*, portable non-secret values only)

Import

Section titled “Import”

Run on the target site:

Terminal window
wp rondo demo import           # Import alongside existing data
wp rondo demo import --clean   # Wipe existing data first, then import

Default fixture path: fixtures/demo-fixture.json in the theme directory.

Date Shifting

Section titled “Date Shifting”

All dates in the fixture are shifted relative to today on import:

  • Birthdates maintain the person’s age (full-year shift)
  • Activity/note dates are shifted to appear recent
  • Season references are shifted to current/recent seasons
  • Leap year dates (Feb 29) become Feb 28 in non-leap years

Demo Site Banner

Section titled “Demo Site Banner”

Sites with the rondo_is_demo_site WordPress option set to 1 display a yellow banner reading “DEMO OMGEVING — Dit is geen echte data” at the top of every page.

Set via WP-CLI:

Terminal window
wp option update rondo_is_demo_site 1

Fixture Format

Section titled “Fixture Format”

The fixture is a self-contained JSON file with:

  • meta — version, export date, record counts
  • people, teams, commissies — entity arrays
  • discipline_cases, todos, comments — related entities
  • settings — WordPress options (fees/VOG, anniversaries milestones, finance config, membership pass config)
  • taxonomies — relationship types, seizoenen

All cross-entity references use portable refs (person:1, team:5) resolved during import.
