The Magento 1.4 Development Cookbook
Magento 1.4 Development Cookbook
Development in Magento
I would have to say that I chose Magento in the first place because it would have a lot of the features we would need available without writing or editing code.
It turns out, that wasn’t so. There will never be a platform you don’t want to tweak, and Magento code may be some of the most complicated PHP code you have seen. It was when I first dug into it.
There were no books at that time and I depended on forum posts to get my answers and I made many mistakes long the way.
I love cookbooks. Telling me how to write the code, documentation or giving me a toy example may help a bit. But a cookbook with real code is something that gives me ideas. And that’s just what the Magento Development Cookbook is.
Two Customers, One Billing Address – The osCommerce is a Mother Series
This is an issue with osCommerce, one that I have run into two or three times. It is possible for two customers to somehow get the same session id and whichever customer checks out last will be greeted with the other customer’s details at the checkout. This is a big security issue, but not one that could really be exploited on purpose.
Building a Good Category Structure – Part 1 of the Ecommerce Seach Engine Optimization Series
Up to the point that I became the in-house SEO and developer for http://www.allaboutdoors.com, I had never really dealt with a large scale ecommerce site. I had built large sites in the past. In fact, most of the sites I have created have all been database driven, with very little unique content. With those sites, I mainly focused on getting links to it and discovering new ways of making the content that other people were also using unique.
