I Am The Shadow On The Sun

To get the website ID in Magento: Mage::app()->getStore(true)->getWebsite()->getId()

Recently, I have an ABC project that uses Web App. I was puzzled how to specify image dimension. I played with the values and finally came up with the correct format. In your web app field that has an 'image' type, simply append the width and height to the image path. Like this:  /path/to/my/image.jpg,370,170

In Magento 1.5.1.0, I've tried different approaches just to check in the frontend if the admin is logged in. There are lots of codes I found in the net but they didn't work. Well, the easiest approach is just this : Mage::getModel('admin/session')->isLoggedIn() I used that in the custom router I created. Now buy me some beer!

If ever you have encountered the issue mentioned in the title of this post, I have an alternative for that. I experienced that when I imported a very large sql file which is about 2GB. What I did was I used the mysql command line client. I think you have an idea now how i did it. But here we go. In your terminal, type mysql -u <your_username> -p. Then type of course type the password when prompted. Then run use <database_name>; press enter. And then,  source sqlfile.sql; That should do the trick. Just wait for it to finish importing.

I've been trying different fixes for the issue mentioned but the fix below is the best. To fix this issue, do the following in php.ini: memory_limit = 256M max_execution_time = 3600 max_input_time = 600 post_max_size = 512M max_input_vars = 100000 suhosin.post.max_vars = 100000 suhosin.request.max_vars = 100000 You may add some lines if they don't exist yet. In CentOS, php.ini can be found in /usr/local/lib/php.ini. In Ubuntu, it's residing in the following : /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini /etc/php5/cgi/php.ini /etc/php5/cli/php.ini After modifying php.ini, please don't forget to restart Apache. That's all!

To untar bz2 file, do this tar jxvf firefox-3.5.tar.bz2 If it does not work, you probably need to install bzip2, sudo apt-get install bzip2

If ever you're getting an error like this when importing products CSV on Magento,  Notice: unserialize(): Error at offset 925 of 1057 bytes in /var/www/magento/app/code/core/Mage/Dataflow/Model/Batch/Abstract.php on line 66 Make sure to fix special characters on the description or short_description column and other columns. For some reason, Magento does not accept those special characters like  ™,  ®,  &,  £, and a lot more. Hope that helps...
