Install error - Documentation needs updating

Shreya_th → made their first commit to this issue’s fork.

Hi @webberly,
I have fixed this issue and also created MR for this issue. Kindly review the changes.

This MR does not appear to be related to the document at all, does it ?

Thank you Shreya_th that worked, Fgm, Im using php7.4 and the latest dev version of mongodv and drupal 9.5.7.
Is there any examples of how i can use mongodb to store taxonomy terms or commerce entities?
Thank you.

@webberly ,
We can use MongoDB to create collections for each entity type. Here's an example for storing product data:

{
"_id": 1,
"name": "Product Name",
"description": "Product description",
"price": 29.99,
"category": "Electronics",
"tags": ["electronics", "gadgets", "tech"],
"stock_quantity": 100
}

Thank you Shreya_th,
I can see the id needs to have an underscore preceding in the object, but how do I get to that stage?
If i want to store commerce_Product or variation types or attributes in mongodb, how do i change the existing storage? in hook_entity_type_alter and ->setstorageclass(), Do i write a whole new class or use a mongodb class?

Thanks for the details:

• Installation should not have been possible with PHP 7.4 as the module no longer supports it: the composer file requires PHP >= 8.0. How did you install the module ? Composer should have blocked the install because of that requirement.
• With Drupal 9 EOL being in just 4 days now, the ongoing requirements for 8.x-2.x will be Drupal 10 and PHP 8.2. While technically allowed with 8.x-2.1, Drupal 9 is no longer supported
• Versions in the 8.x-2.x do not allow storing entity/field data in MongoDB: they only offer a logger, keyvalue, and queue services.
• To store everything else in MongoDB, you need either the ttps://gitlab.com/daffie/mongodb867 repo or the complete https://gitlab.com/daffie/drumongous distribution. You can ask about those in the #mongodb slack channel, but keep in mind these are experimental, as explained by their author @daffie in his talks at DrupalDevDays Vienna and DrupalCon Lille

In summary:

• If you want to store entity/field data in MongoDB you will need the experimental versions, not 8.x-2.x
• If you want the stable supported version
  • you will not be able to store entity/field data in MongoDB, only logs, KV and queue
  • you will have to use PHP 8.2 and Drupal 10.x

That was actually a support issue.
