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. Read more... (996 words, 2 images, estimated 3:59 mins reading time)

What’s New with Magento

Published February 16, 2010 | By admin

First, let me tell you that I will soon be receiving the Magento 1.3 PHP Developer’s Guide to review. Magento has an architecture link no other software. Hopefully this book sheds some light on developing with Magento and beats hunting a pecking through the forums. The last book I bought for a CMS was one for Drupal. With WordPress, I picked up everything I know online. Read more... (274 words, 2 images, estimated 1:06 mins reading time)

The cause: rebuilding my PHP install to add new modules.

The solution: I have no clue until I start sniffing around a bit.

Troubleshooting route: Read more... (545 words, 2 images, estimated 2:11 mins reading time)

Upgrading my WordPress installation to the latest version and hope for the best. This worked once for an issue I was having and I didn’t ask any questions. And it needs this anyway.

Installing PHP on Vista

Published April 22, 2007 | By admin

I actually found the answer to this problem pretty quickly.

The php installation software did not work for some reason on Windows Vista. The only thing I saw that the installation program did incorrectly was that it id not add index.php as a directory index.

Therefore simply changing this: DirectoryIndex index.html

To this: DirectoryIndex index.html index.php

fixed the problem.

I also copied php.ini to Windows folder for good measure. Why? Because someone said to do that in a forum. I figured it couldn’t hurt anything, not being an executable to begin with.
