Whoops, our bad…
The page you requested was not found, and we have a fine guess why.

What can you do?

Well, you can start by looking in /var/report/ and view the file that corresponds with the error ID on the web address. ;)

This is just a merely nice page to display to end users as not to display any nasty php errors to them. However looking at these reports can lead useful if your needing to find out more details on whats causing the issues.

Didn’t realize this until tonight, I must be slow… :? but thought I would share. :wink:

Android SDK 2.01 Emu WebKit User Agent

user agent 2.01 android emu 300x211 Android SDK 2.01 Emu WebKit User Agent

I got curious what the Android 2.01 SDK User Agent was returning after toying around with the iPhone theme for Magento.  It appears Apple has standardized the UserAgent and “Mobile Safari” as a condition should enable future detection of Webkit on any device without conditioning more. Here’s the full user agent being returned

1
Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.0.1; en-us;sdk Build/ES54) AppleWebKit/530.17+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/530.17

Eclipse + ZendStudio + ZendServer + Android SDK = Awesome IDE

zend android Eclipse + ZendStudio + ZendServer + Android SDK = Awesome IDE

Recently installed the Zend Studio for Eclipse and took it upon myself to get Android Development setup as well.  I also found Magento works best with ZendServer, although it does require a few work arounds to get Magento to work with ZendServer.

However with that being said I’m pretty much happy to have one IDE that I can do both Web Development, and Android Development in one IDE!

Now if only I can setup C# development, and Eclipse not be such a resource/memory hog.

If anyone desires I can write up a more detailed step by step guide, however at this point I think its pretty easy to figure out, with the links I provided. :mrgreen:

Farbrausch: debris

177 kilobytes of awesomeness! I’d highly recommend the link in full HD than my embed to enjoy, or better yet if you’ve got a good graphics card like an late model NVIDIA or ATI then download the tiny executable.

:arrow: YouTube – Farbrausch – fr-041: debris. [HD].

The secret behind all this is procedural content generation. in a nutshell, instead of storing a movie as-is we’re storing a certain number of mathematical formulas for image and audio manipulation as well as the “recipe” how to apply those small bits of code in a way that what you see comes out. And while it’s running your computer’s graphics card cares for the actual displaying ot the world, just like in modern 3D games. Formulas+recipe are of course way smaller than the end result, and with a few additional sprinkles of magic compression fairy dust we get down to under 200 kilobytes, which is way less than one single high quality image of this show would take.

Magento: Paypal Standard IPN Double Totals Bug 1.3.2.3 + fix

:!: This fix didn’t work for me after further testing on 1.3.2.4 another recommended fix has however worked. :!:

Untitled 1 Magento: Paypal Standard IPN Double Totals Bug 1.3.2.3 + fix

Does the above look familiar for Paypal Standard Orders, Note the Grand Total and Total Paid…

Running into this issue myself I thought I would post it up to let everyone else know the issue with the Standard Paypal IPN and Magento version 1.3.2.3.  It appears double Order totals are showing up under “Total Paid” and can cause a lot of customer confusion.

Here is the quick temporary fix:

:!: NOTE: This modifies the base code of Magento and recommended you save a backup of the original file, as it may cause issues upgrading later on.

app/code/core/Mage/Paypal/Model/Standard.php as follows: 

- $invoice->register()->capture();
+ $invoice->register()->pay(); 

The above modification fixed IPN problems but now the Total Paid amount is wrong. 

Also the above modification introduced another bug: paid orders are shown as COMPLETE instead of PROCESSING. This can be fixed by changing app/code/core/Mage/Paypal/Model/Standard.php as follows: 

- Mage_Sales_Model_Order::STATE_COMPLETE, true,
+ Mage_Sales_Model_Order::STATE_PROCESSING, $newOrderStatus, 

This change will fix the status problem so that paid orers now appear as PROCESSING.

This fix was not mine and I would like to thank those whom are responsible for finding the bug and providing a fix! Kudos to them. :D

iPhone Magento theme compatible with Android

After installing the iPhone Theme for Magento via Magento Connect do the following:

Simply configure the exceptions under “System”->”Configuration”->”Design”

Expand “Themes” see the screenshot and use the values “Mobile Safari|iPhone|iPod” for Matched expression, and “iphone” for value. Since both iPhone and Android use WebKit they will both return the user agent as “Mobile Safari”. Be sure and realize it IS case sensitive for all values.

However after some further testing with some iPhones won’t return “Mobile Safari” so the condition for iPhone or iPod needs to be added as well.

Cheers! ;)
