My Silly Point of View
it's my blog anyway
The default Magento catalog grid is set to display 3 products per column. Most users alter the number of columns by modifying the file catalog/product/list.phtml. There’s actually a much cleaner approach to this task and you only need to modify an XML file.

I recently installed a WordPress blog in my localhost using Mac OS X’s built in Apache and PHP with MySQL to test a functionality when I decided to update the permalinks to use a different format other than the default setting. When I tested the new URL, I was greeted with the following error:
Not Found
The requested URL /~user/wordpress/category/sample/ was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.21 (Unix) DAV/2 PHP/5.3.10 with Suhosin-Patch Server at localhost Port 80

I want to setup a development environment for the Mage Enabler for WordPress plugin in my new desktop so I downloaded the latest copy of Magento Community Edition which is version 1.6.1.0 at the time of this writing. I used the sample data provided from the Magento download page and used all the default values.
I’ve been working for the past few days with jQuery and one of the task was to manipulate HTML forms before submitting it for processing. What I needed to do is to process a form having multiple submit buttons and select tags. These set of select tags requires all values to be selected on submit.

I needed a plugin that can show random quotes with author options as well and I found Stray Random Quotes WordPress plugin could do the trick. The only problem is, the function to display the random quote directly outputs the text onscreen together with the author.

If you’re thinking of creating a page that will display your customer list from Magento to a different PHP-based application, you can use the script below to do so.
First, let’s create a file called index.php and inside it, create function (I named it getCustomers()) that will extract an array of customer list and their information. The function should be able to access the Mage.php file of your Magento instance.

You might have a Magento based website running online and wanted to extend parts of it (also known as blocks, which may include some css and js in the code) to an external site which may either be a blog, another CMS or any other PHP based web application. If you have been following my previous posts, you will know that by adding the Mage.php file of your Magento instance to your application, you can actually pull the needed HTML blocks at any time. The only problem is that most of the examples available online asks you to use the getChildHtml(‘your-block-here’) in which most the time frustrates you because of its complexity and limited resources of how you can actually use it.
There are other ways of doing it. Oddly enough, some are pretty simple and straight forward.

How to add a product with custom options into Magento shopping cart from an external site?
In: Feeling guru
4 Jun 2010This is a follow up post to a previous article I wrote on how to add products into Magento but this time the script includes custom options (attributes) of the product. I used Magento version 1.4.0.1 in this example. Just copy the whole script and save it as index.php.
