So Amasty have gone full money grab with their Subscription system

Been off work for Chinese new year, so today was the first time i had seen exactly what has been implemented with this new subscription system. I have used modules from both AheadWorks and Amasty.

As I started on Magento many years ago, I bought modules based upon “Free Lifetime Updates”. I am still alive at this point, but it seems we were all lied to about the free lifetime updates.

Ok, I understand that these companies are a business and as the Magento user base is squeezed by competitors, they need to make money to keep offering their services.

This is where Amasty and Aheadworks diverge.

For AHEADWORKS, i can sign up to a monthly subscription for the updates. I shouldn’t have to pay for updates (see Free Lifetime Updates), but at least here i can pay say $30 per module to get the latest version

Now for AMASTY, they are doing an ANNUAL subscription only per module, at the same cost as the original module cost. That is downright DISHONEST in my opinion and its very shameful what they have done.

Thankfully I am just completing an update cycle, but on my next update cycle I will be removing their modules and replacing them with Aheadworks or other suppliers. I will also not be be recommending anything of theirs when asked.

TLDR; To update your AMASTY module after a 12 month period, you will have to pay the FULL COST OF THE MODULE AGAIN (edit; unless you run a subscription without a break from purchase date then there is some discount). For AHEADWORKS you can sign up for 1 month support to get your upgrade.

Suggestions for Magento Elastic search specialists for 2.4.3 store?

We operate a M2 store with Elastic Search 7.9.2 managed with the following plugins;

We’re looking for a data wrangler who can consult/advise on ways to optimize elastic search and create better results. The issue (we believe) is in the Elastic Search by Amasty plugin. We think it mismanages data and gives wrong results, and we’ve been unable to fix this internally.

Any suggestions?

Hi, I have a few questions about the program. I would be really grateful if someone could help me with a few questions:
-How many base currencies are possible to choose and set up?
-If we do not define any condition while setting coupons what will happen to defined discount?
-Deleting the categories will items be deleted as well?
-Besides from UPS, DHL and Free shipping, are there other delivery methods?
-Deleting a set deletes all his attributes from the list?
-A maximum number of promotions for every product?
-Changes on the home page can be made within which section?
-Is it possible to restrict access to online translation?

Magento 2 product page blank

After adding a product to Magento 2, the URL for the product grouped product page is just a blank white screen. In the browser console it is showing a 500 (Internal Server Error) on the GET for the page’s URL.

Note: The new product was created by duplicating an existing product. Other product pages including the one I duplicated from are working, just not the new one I created.

What might be going on here? I have re-indexed and cleared the cache but no help.

I also tried adding:

ini_set(‘display_errors’, 1);

error_reporting(E_ALL);

Under the <?php at the top of the index.php file.

After adding those lines I still get a blank white page, but the 500 error is not shown in the console.

Any help would be appreciated!!

EDIT: I just duplicated the same product again as a test an then resaved it. When I visit new duplicated product URL I get a 404 not found. However, I then “enabled” that product and refreshed the page, and I get the same blank white page. Hope this information is helpful to diagnosing what might be going on there. Thanks!

Advanced module creation

Hi all!

I’m fairly new to magento and currently learning to create modules.
I can already create modules like this one: sample folder structure, fairly simple ones that places some content somewhere (i can also add a controller and route if need be)

but i’m getting stuck at the next steps like:

  • How can i fetch data from an external api and how does it fit in with the structure?
  • I’ve seen generic module structures like this one: generic module but i don’t know what most folder contain/do

Most tutorials only go as far as to make a module with a controller and route and call it a day which leaves me stuck where i’m at now.

Can anyone recommend me some valuable resources on this?

Kind regards!

How should I set up a multistore to go to a different domain? It seems to be redirecting to the main domain instead.

I have a single website, with one main store, and a second store I just created, which should be associated with a second URL, meaning people would go to examplenameone.com to reach the main website, and examplenametwo.co.uk to reach the other. The end goal here being for them to be basically identical, sharing the same catalog and everything, but with a different currency and locale, and a different theme.

I bought the second domain and set in Stores > Settings > Configuration > General > Web for it to use the new domain using “Base URLs”, and I had set the A record to point to the website’s public IP (which currently is the same as the domain of the main site, as generated by amazon lightsail), but what’s happening is the new domain is redirecting to the main store, instead of to a separate one.

I’m assuming there is something I’ve done wrong here, but I’m not sure what (I’m not really experienced in Magento yet). This is Magento 2.4.3 by the way.

Factories vs new

Is there any scenario where you would choose to use the new keyword to create an object rather than a Factory via dependency injection? Someone I work with someone who instantiates some objects with new rather than factories.

For example, instead of generating a factory class with the TimezoneInterface that already exists in Magento, they use new DateTime(). I personally don’t really like doing this because it goes against Magento standards.

Perhaps I’m being overly critical of this or just haven’t considered valid reasons for doing it? Just looking for some other opinions!

Multi Vendor Booking Marketplace Extension

Hi all,

I’m trying to find a booking extension for a marketplace project that can create multiple booking products with different durations and prices. These bookable products are provided by a single seller so each time slot can only be booked once. For example if a 30min appointment for a seller is booked it 2pm. Then a different appointment type for 90mins with the same seller can’t be booked after 12:30 or before 3:30.

Anyone have suggestions. I’ve found a few extensions but all treat the bookable product as it’s own and not related to a sellers actual available time during a day.

Help/guidance appreciated.
