Development

▼

Everybody knows that there are many successful stores running Magento. However, there are many others which are not successful or who cannot open the store after years of development. There are different reasons for that, but I tried to collect most common mistakes of the store owners. Most of them are obvious though.

Related products is one of the greatest up-sell features in Magento. However, the bad thing is that you need to assign related products for each product manually. It could be very time-consuming operation if you have a large product catalog.

In this article I will show how to add a new Total row e.g. "Insurance" to Magento Shopping cart / Checkout.

APC (Alternative PHP cache) is a free opcode cache for PHP, which optimize PHP intermediate code. APC engine cache the compiled bytecode of PHP scripts to avoid the overhead of parsing and compiling source code on each request.

One of the great features available in default Magento is one page checkout. However, the bad point is that you can see your actual cart totals only on last step of checkout (order confirmation).

Magento have excellent feature which allow a developer to create the admin forms without coding any HTML. It is easy to create any form with any data. This article will guide you how to create such form.

Sometimes it is needed to urgently disable and clear Magento compiler, e.g. after installation or some 3rd party Magento module.

If you have active Magento compiler, it is always recommended to disable it before any module installation. You can easy to do it in Magento administrator panel, but what if you installed module by mistake, when compiler was active? Most likely your Magento admin panel will be not accessible.
