Significant Changes in Magento

An important modification in magento, is that Magento will no longer by design generate extension keys for 2.0(1.5 and later versions)  if the developer while editing an extension does not specifies that he wants to support that version by checking the 1.5 check-box. Remember, in order for your free extension to have the facility to support both versions; it must be uploaded from the file generated in the var/pear directory during the packaging procedure. Any file uploaded from var/connect will merely be able to be listed for 2.0 (Magento 1.5 and later versions).

What this Means for a Magento developer?

For Magento developer of a 1.4 extension, if he hasn’t marked that extension as 1.5 compatible on the extension profile page, he will not have a 2.0 version of his extension obtainable. Magento developer should carefully look at his extensions and make updates to them as required.

Magento installation

There are mainly four methods available for Magento installation. It is important to know about all of these methods to extend your knowledge so you can discover your preferred methods and the one which moulds itself to your development practices the best.

There are four methods available for Magento installation as follows:

  • Manual installation:- It involves downloading and uploading all files needed by yourself.
  • Downloader installation:- It requires downloading a script for some of the files which when uploaded and run, will download the rest.
  • SSH installation:- This would include connecting to the server by means of shell and running a set number of commands which will download, unzip, and set all the file permissions correctly for you.
  • SVN installation:- SVN means subversion installation. It would involve checking out or exporting from the repository to your server, before committing to the local directory where you would like to install.

If you are not well known with magento then you should go with Magento developer services for your Ecommerce.

With the forthcoming launch of our Mobile Web Designer service one thing many people have asked is what is the most simple way of telling a mobile device to show my mobile optimised website.

The answer is very simple, all you need is a few lines of javascript code added into the header tag of your page, I would suggest adding this to each page and adding the relevant URL so if users find a internal page of your website via Google or and search engine they will be diverted to the correct page.

Here is a simple example of some javascript code to recognise a mobile device and show your mobile optimised website.

<script type=”text/javascript”>
if(navigator.userAgent.match(/iPhone/i)
|| navigator.userAgent.match(/iPod/i)
|| navigator.userAgent.match(/Android/i)
|| navigator.userAgent.match(/blackberry/i)
|| navigator.userAgent.match(/Blackberry/i)
|| navigator.userAgent.match(/webOS/i)) {
window.location = “http://www.mydomain.com/mobile-home”;
}
</script>

NOTE: The URL you see above is the path to a directory on your web server, create your mobile website in its own directory and then point to this directory using the code above.

Its come to our attention recently that some people are getting us mistaken with other companies and other domain names, yes 2J Design and J2 Design is a easy mistake to make however the J2 design domain shows that its been attacked by a hacker :-0

So we would just like to ensure people get our name correct when passing it on, we wouldn’t want you to pass on a good word about us as many of you do and to end up going to the wrong company….

Thanks to everyone who gives us good recommendations and passes our name and URL on word of mouth from our existing clients accounts for around 30% of our business now so thankyou to everyone.

So for quality Web Designer services and stunning Ecommerce Web Design, remember 2J Design
