Hey everyone,

Just diving into Reddit for the first time and making my debut post here.

I’m looking to replicate the website “boldcup.eu” for my online store. I reached out to the original developers, but they’ve shifted focus to AI solutions and aren’t taking on web development anymore. They mentioned they used Magento for the site.

I’ve tried finding developers on Upwork, but I’m seeing a wide range of prices, which has me a bit concerned.

For those with experience, what’s a realistic price range for getting a high-quality replica of this website?”

No matter what engine you use, whether its wsl or ubuntu, the magento cloud docker setup is a nightmare.

1, the docs have inconsistencies. php versions are different from one setup to another

2 the cloud docker has different php minor versions than what gets install via apt

3 there is never a time where there isn’t an error at some point in the build process for most first time users. These errors are documented all over the internet with virtuallly no responses in the forums

4 the project community edition is not available to look at via github or any public spot (wtf)

I have been trying to get a local setup of magento for weeks and it is the most complicated local build of a docker instance in the extistance of php CMS’s.

My WordPress Docker instane that I built myself works flawlessly and easily debuggable.

I think the magento team should spend a few weeks going around and answering all the qeustions that remain unanswered.

Have you guys ever run into this?

I appreciate any help. Thanks!

My site is loaded correctly over SSL, but all requests to static files fail with 404. I’m in developer mode.

If you managed to get Magento 2 working with Caddy, can you post your Caddyfile? I can’t get static files to load, here is part of my Caddyfile for static assets:

 root * /var/www/magento/pub file_server # Reverse proxy to FastCGI server php_fastcgi 127.0.0.1:9820 try_files {path} /index.php?{query} # Static file handling with caching policies @staticAssets { path *.ico *.jpg *.jpeg *.png *.gif *.svg *.js *.css *.swf *.eot *.ttf *.otf *.woff *.woff2 } header @staticAssets Cache-Control "public, max-age=31536000" # 1 year handle_path /static/* { @rewriteCond { path_regexp version versiond*/(.*) } rewrite @rewriteCond /static.php?resource={re.version.1} } 

Can each multi-site account be linked to it’s own Google Merchant center account and run separate Google Shopping ads, or is the main account only able to be linked to 1 merchant center account for all multi-sites underneath it?

Hi all 🙂

I’ve been working in online marketing for the last 30 years – this is the second time / business Ive worked in that uses Magento…

I would like to see usual BI KPIS – Orders, Revenue, Sales etc etc – by Source, eg Google CPC, Bing CPC, Google Organic etc etc

All pretty bog standard marketing stuff – cant believe we’re the only Magento user wanting to… track where our revenue’s actually coming from?

Sarc / annoyance /off – but how are people doing this?

Have usual stack – MCE 2.4.6, GA4, GTM etc etc.

TIA 🙂

hi there,

We have a brand new Magento 2 Hyva themes ecomm fashion website build that we are potentially looking to sell. Our brand is changing hands and the ecomm side of the business is closing. We are selling the website build, not the business or brand.
The website was only completed at the end of 2022 and has been continually updated until now so its bang up to spec and cost in the region of £40k overall. Access to the original developer is on hand if required to continue work on it.
if interested please contact me at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])

many thanks Tim

I’m looking to noindex most filters on my product category pages (collections) as most of them aren’t keywords that people would search organically.

However, certain filters have keywords associated with them that do have search volume. Other than creating more collections, am I able to selectively enable these filters to be indexable, whilst leaving most others as noindexed?

For example, the collection is T-shirts. For argument’s sake, I don’t want to create a new collection for White T-shirts, I want to enable the filter for Colour: White to be indexed by Google, therefore creating a searchable page. How do I got about allowing for this, whilst also not allowing the filter Sleeve Length: Long to be indexed?

As an additional bonus points question: How can two filters applied, i.e. Long Sleeve White T-shirts be canonicalised to the filter page White T-shirts?

Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

Hi,

So I run a couple of small websites (about 400K revenue p.a total.) on Magento 2 open source. I know we’re not in the typical target market for Magento , but overall I’m happy with it, despite the learning curve. We’ve been using Magento for about 7 years. If starting from scratch, we’d probably use something else, but here we are.

On a performance level, we’re happy. We use Nexcess for hosting who we’re happy with. We’re also looking to add a B2B version of one of our sites as we sell wholesale also, which it looks like Magento 2 is a good option for.

My concern is with security and particularly the cart/ payment system. We’ve never had any issues, or security breach on the cart that we’re aware of. BUT, as we’re growing (slowly), I would prefer that the cart security etc.. is handled by someone else, in case of e.g. customer details being stolen from our checkout process.

I’m wondering if it’s possible to have the cart process outsourced to an SaaS type service (e.g. like shopify), while keeping most of the website frontend and backend on Magento?

Also, just wondering if people think Magento will ever offer a SaaS type service for smaller businesses (Enterprise is just way outside our budget). I recall them doing MagentoGo, but seems to be long gone.

Thanks

I just started a new job as a Magento developer.

When cloning a project that took longer than expected, I discovered all of the vendors were committed on our VCS.

I asked the CTO and he said they started doing this because they had an issue with modules versions and composer at some point, but they didn’t go more in depth.

I know this is definitely not good practice, but is it something I need to lose time over to convince them to change or should I just do as they’ve always done? If I need to convince them, how would you do it?

My company is trying to bring all of our Magento development in-house. Right now we are working with an agency that is managing all of it and our website is the final piece of the puzzle that we do not currently fully own with our in-house development team.

I’ve had a posting for a Senior Magento development position where I specifically state that I’m looking for someone that knows Magento inside and out, knows how to create customizations, and more or less be able to build new functionality as needed.

Obviously, they would still be supported by the agency until we can more fill out our team, but I would be expecting this candidate to know enough that we can start bringing the code in-house and manage our deployments and eventually become a team lead.

However, during the interview process I have a small coding test in PHP and while all these candidates sound experience in Magento and is able to speak to things they’ve done and various projects they’ve worked on, they almost always fail to code fluently in PHP. I personally have 10 years of experience in another language and when first given this test myself, I was able to solve it in 15 minutes with a polished solution in 20.

Am I overvaluing how good of a PHP developer this particular role needs to know or should I be looking for a PHP developer first and then see if they have Magento experience?

What are the key metrics to consider for Magento performance optimization?
