If you do not wish to change character encoding for the entire server, but only one site (or only one directory) then this is possible to do using .htaccess.
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8 |
If you only wish to do this to php or htm files (and not all files)
<FilesMatch "\.(htm|php)$"> AddDefaultCharset UTF-8 </FilesMatch> |
If you wish to modify the mime-type as well as the encoding (on html files in this example)
AddType 'text/html; charset=UTF-8' html |
The Magento Connect uses values stored in the directory downloader to know where to connect, where to save files etc. The problem is that these paths are hard coded into files at the installation of Magento.
If you wish to move your installation to a new path then this will break the Magento Connect in the admin panel.
The version that I find easiest to do on the new server is to log in using ssh and then run “./pear mage-setup .” That will reset the aboslute paths that are stored in the downloader directory.
Another option would be to re install magneto:
This will set the delivery address to the billing address and with no other changes to the code, the user will still be able to change the delivery address by using the right menu. This simply updates the default behavior of what needs to be entered.
In “app/design/frontend/default/blank/template/checkout/onepage/billing.phtml”
Find the section that looks like:
123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132 | <?php if ($this->canShip()): ?> <li> <<input type="radio" name="billing[use_for_shipping]" id="billing:use_for_shipping_yes" value="1"<?php if ($this->isUseBillingAddressForShipping()) {?> checked="checked"<?php }?> onclick="$('shipping:same_as_billing').checked = true;" class="radio" /><label for="billing:use_for_shipping_yes"><?php echo $this->__('Ship to this address') ?></label> <input type="radio" name="billing[use_for_shipping]" id="billing:use_for_shipping_no" value="0"<?php if (!$this->isUseBillingAddressForShipping()) {?> checked="checked"<?php }?> onclick="$('shipping:same_as_billing').checked = false;" class="radio" /><label for="billing:use_for_shipping_no"><?php echo $this->__('Ship to different address') ?></label> </li> <?php endif; ?> </ul> <?php if (!$this->canShip()): ?> <input type="hidden" name="billing[use_for_shipping]" value="1" /> <?php endif; ?> |
And simply replace it by;
123 124 | </ul> <input type="hidden" name="billing[use_for_shipping]" value="1" /> |
If you wish to repoint the “continue shopping” button in the shopping cart, then the file
app/code/core/Mage/Checkout/Block/Cart.php (and don’t forget that the modified file should be copied to app/code/local/Mage/Checkout/Block/Cart.php ) is one place to do that from. (The code example below gives different results based on if the cart is empty or not)
71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 | public function getContinueShoppingUrl() { //Mage::getUrl(page name in CMS under admin) //if the cart is not empty, return the user to the shop if (Mage::helper('checkout/cart')->getCart()->getItemsCount() > 0) $url = Mage::getUrl('home'); //if the cart is empty, return the user to the portal home. else $url = Mage::getUrl('portal'); $this->setData('continue_shopping_url', $url); return $url; } |
Also you should edit the file app/design/frontend/default/blank/template/checkout/cart/noItems.phtml (blank is my skin)
33 | <p><?php echo $this->__('Please <a href="%s">continue shopping</a>.', Mage::getUrl('portal')) ?></p> |
[This was done to Magento version 1.3.2.4]
It is not hard to set up a Magento multi store environment so when a order is placed in a store, a owner (one owner per store) gets a order confirmation email.
Doing like this will give a copy of the mail that is sent to the customer, and that might not be nice – but this is quick.
In admin, select the store you wish to enter the email address to, and under system > config > sales > sales e-mail override the site default with the email address you would like for this store.
It is also possible to send copies of shipment notices, credit mails etc (basically all mail that is sent from the store).
[Tested with v1.3.2.4]
Gallery2flickr is a gallery2 plugin that acts as a bridge between gallery2 and flickr.
The search page normally only has the next and previous page buttons as the top (and not at the bottom).
In order to add these buttons to the bottom as well, edit modules\Gallery2Flickr\templates\FlickrSearch.tpl and just before the div with the copyright info, enter the following (or find it earlier in the file).
344 345 346 347 348 349 350 351 352 353 354 355 356 357 358 359 360 361 362 363 364 365 366 367 368 369 370 371 372 | {if isset($Flickr.pages)} <div class="gbBlock"> <h4> {if ($Flickr.pages > 0)} {g->text text="Results %d - %d of %d, Page %d of %d" arg1=$Flickr.pages.start arg2=$Flickr.pages.end arg3=$Flickr.pages.total arg4=$form.page arg5=$Flickr.pages.pages} {/if} {if ($form.page > 1)} <input type="submit" class="inputTypeSubmit" name="{g->formVar var="form[action][previousPage]"}" value="{g->text text="« Back"}"/> {/if} {if ($form.page < $Flickr.pages.pages)} <input type="submit" class="inputTypeSubmit" name="{g->formVar var="form[action][nextPage]"}" value="{g->text text="Next »"}"/> {/if} <input type="submit" class="inputTypeSubmit" name="{g->formVar var="form[action][importpage]"}" value="{g->text text="Import this page"}"/> <input type="submit" class="inputTypeSubmit" name="{g->formVar var="form[action][importresults]"}" value="{g->text text="Import all results"}"/> </h4> </div> {/if} |
The problem is that a link like <a href="{{store url=""}}"> gets converted to <a href="{{store url="> and that is a problem (it makes the link much longer and the page seams to be lacking a lot of text.
One solution is to replace the "" (2 ") where the second disappears with ” (2 ‘).
It is probably a very good idea to make this change on all " inside {{ }} to ‘s.
However it is still a good idea to do this change in the code mode of the editor or it will do some of its magic on it.
In order to bind a virtualhost to only one ip (if the server has several) add the ip in the VirtualHost tag, to make it listen on all ips – use *
To make the server respond to several names, use the ServerAlias and ServerAlias supports wildcards.
See the examples below for more.
<VirtualHost 111.22.33.55>
DocumentRoot /www/subdomain
ServerName www.sub.domain.tld
ServerAlias *.sub.domain.tld
...
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot /www/domain
ServerName www.domain.tld
...
</VirtualHost>
If the CakePHP is run in production mode (debug =0), then it is not possible to move the CakePHP to another folder – after the move the site will simply give an error 500. This is since a number of things are cached in CackePHP and if the app is in production mode, then some of the cache is not checked if it needs to be updated.
So if you intend to move a CakePHP directory that is setup as a production environment, then you will need to turn up debug to at least 1 , load the site – then it can be turned back down again.
