Magento Hosting News

New to Magento, What are some great resources to get upto speed on this platform. I need to compress my learning over the next 14 days. Can anyone share? I run an E-commerce stores that sells home appliances. Site is already live and I don’t feel like the team is using the complete scope of the platform. Thanks.

Have been working on going from 2.3.5-p2 to M2.4.7-p3 and almost everything is going well…except search features because elasticsearch 🙃

Here is what is happening:

Let’s say I have 2 items Skus 123-456-789 & 456-789

I search for 456. I expect both items to show, but only item 2 is showing. I cannot for th life of me figure out why a hyphen is causing a line break or whatever you want to call it with the search.

Any help/guidance would be appreciated.

Just to be clear – I am not talking about how to customize Magento for dropshipping business, but how to customize it for dropshipping clients.

The first issue I see is that in some time, they will have dozens of shipping addresses, so instead of using address card layout, probably a dropdown would be better – because magento usually suggests to use saved address. But then that is stupid – they mostly dont ship products to the same address. So maybe I somehow I shouldnt be even saving those addresses?

And then I wonder – no matter what ecommerce platform they use, as long as it is self hosting – is there some industry standart how to automate pricing of products? Maybe there is a known feature/service that everyone use – I share product feed and they use it in their site with some pricing rule? So when I offer discounts – they automatically appear for their clients?

Also maybe you have some suggestion that I have not mentioned, I would be glad to read those!

Hey everyone,

I just finished building a custom Magento 2 extension for my e-commerce site, to make it way more fun. Instead of a boring storefront, I transformed it into a retro RPG-inspired shop complete with a shopkeeper avatar, custom cart & product APIs, and slick SEO tags for killer social previews.

It’s free and open-source. I wrote about it here: https://pablo.gg/en/blog/coding/i-built-a-retro-rpg-game-shop-extension-for-my-magento-2-store/

The idea was to inject some personality into the site by using Vue.js and TailwindCSS for a dynamic, engaging interface that feels more like exploring a game shop than traditional e-commerce. If you’re looking to give your Magento store a unique twist, check out my approach!

Would love to hear your thoughts or any cool ideas on how to take it even further.

I tried more than 14 times to install but still its not working

SOmetimes I able to open the site but admin panel.and their is no logs

I tried with xampp, docker also but no result

It seems like the consensus is don’t run Magento OS headless. I checked out Hyva – the samples look pretty much the same, can anyone point me at great websites that customise / push Hyva to the limit?

I’m just starting to research Magento OS.

I’ve skimmed some of the threads for database HA and I was wondering about Aurora / AWS Postgres for running in prod.

Is it possible to run Magento OS with Postgres or is a lot of the SQL bound to MySQL dialect?

Hi Can any one throw some light on adding a post code to find the nearest store plugin, my dev says it will be a long task something like 5 days of coding ?

For example https://www.itoris.com/magento-2-product-price-formula.html if this would be on market to day, it would put every other solution in shame. Did something happen a while ago that made all these feature rich extensions to completely not work anymore? Can’t believe someone would just drop all that work just like that…

I’m in the process of creating a multi-vendor marketplace and need professional advice on Magento. Wondering how difficult it is to setup and maintain the shop long-term. If you have expertise in Magento and preferably based in Canada, I’d love to connect privately for a chat. I am not sure if Magento at this point is even the best platform. This is for a nonprofit but I am willing to pay $40 CAD for one hour meeting.

Thanks in advance for any guidance!

Before working in e-commerce, I worked in companies where testing was held to a very high standard. We had to, because our software made very high impact decisions.

Now working in Magento, as the only developer taking over a webshop from a very experienced Magento developer who never wrote any tests, I feel like I should introduce unit and integration testing here as well.

My manager is hesitant because it could ‘increase development time’, and even though I explained the benefits, he doubts whether testing is a common practice in e-commerce development. I have no idea – I never worked in e-commerce.

What are your experiences?

Ive been using the free gifts widget for magento and I noticed a considerable loss in sales and after a customer notified me that his cart keeps getting emptied when he chooses free gifts, I disabled it . Im am very close to getting rid of this shitty platform.

Hi, I’m currently learning Magento and when I try to implement my own admin grid with filter. The result in json is expected, but it will only render the last result as shown here.

Here’s the code snippet,

The scenario will only reproduce if any filter is enabled

<listingToolbar name="listing_top"> <settings> <sticky>true</sticky> </settings> <!-- These will trigger the scenario where every result is overwritten --> <!-- <filterSearch name="ticket_id"/> --> <!-- <filters name="listing_filters"> --> <!-- </filters> --> <columnsControls name="columns_controls" /> <!-- <paging name="listing_paging" /> --> </listingToolbar> 

Am I doing something wrong?

Common Magento 2 Errors and How to Fix Them

• 404 Error After Admin Login

This usually happens due to a cache issue or incorrect URL settings. Clear your browser cache and cookies, and ensure the base URLs in the database are correct.

• Error Processing Request

  This generic error often indicates missing cache files or incorrect file permissions. Try clearing your cache and checking file permissions to resolve it.

• Product Images Not Showing

Missing images can result from incorrect file permissions or issues with static files. Ensure your permissions are set correctly and regenerate your static content.

• Cron Jobs Not Running

If automated tasks like updates or email sending aren’t working, check your server’s cron job configuration. Make sure the Magento cron jobs are scheduled correctly.

• Memory Limit Exhausted

  If you see a memory error, it means your server’s PHP memory limit is too low. Increase the limit in your server’s PHP settings to fix this.
