Magento Hosting News

Hi! I’ve been out of the Magento development game for a while (see my previous post history here :)) but am interesting in learning a bit about the current landscape of packages / frameworks / libraries out there for doing headless integrations / implementations with Magento. In the area I work the chance of me doing a “traditional” Magento project (e.g. where Magento owns the “glass” e.g. html delivery) has passed, everything I’m doing is “headless.”

I’m specifically interested in any packages or libraries (paid, OS, whatever) where I might be able to pick and choose “components” and use them in some degree of isolation, vs a full “application.” Currently I’m thinking about Magento for a larger project where company X (not to be confused with X the company :)) has a homegrown CMS optimized for quickly delivering static HTML. They won’t change this, but are interested in adding some limited commerce functionality. They have a very small catalog so no listing pages / no search / no filtering / etc, just a number of bespoke PDPs basically, and a mini cart, and checkout, and account management / history pages, etc.

In other words, to an outside observer it might be a “just build it yourself with simple JS or whatever”, but I know enough to know that there is a lot of complexity that comes up and I would prefer not to reinvent the wheel.

With Shopify there are things like Hydrogen which can be used as standalone components (e.g. I just want the product listing component and it’s children, and just the mini cart, and i’ll only use them on those pages).

Lots of words, hopefully the spirit of my question is clear-ish. Looking for a general “vibe” of the landscape or any specific recommendations if you didn’t want to write everything from scratch but also didn’t want a full commerce “app” and had to live in a system controlled by another CMS.

Thank you!!!

We have had terrible experience with our reps. Non response and cancelling meetings last minute when our senior leaders moved things around in their schedules to make a meeting time work.

We want to buy new products but struggle to understand them, it’s hard to find the content in their learning centers and we have the most unreliable in engaged account reps.

Who do you complain to? They’ve heavily invested in AI and forgotten basic customer service skills.

Hi,

Does anyone have an up-to-date list of modules that need disabling to fully disable MSI?

What I can find online only goes up to 2.4 so not sure if they have introduced new ones since then.

thanks

P.S. someone has said that they have added “magento/module-inventory-sales-async-order” for example since 2.4.6

Hi,

I am struggling to get the entire tree of categories for any given product.

I am only able to get either the exact category it’s in and the direct parent.

so if the product is 5 categories in, I am only ever able to get the 2 from last.

I have to note that I do not actively assign the products to all the categories along the line, just the end one.

Am I asking for the impossibles?

thanks

EDIT: I figured it out so dropping it here for anyone else that might need it:

I have just installed Megento via Cpanel and when i log in admin page it require 2FA step. I did input my email when install but no email was send to my gmail. Maybe my site dont have SMTP now so i cant receive email 2FA. How can i access it now. And 1 more question: how can i use command like other if I use Cpanel? For example like this: php bin/magento config:set twofactorauth/general/force_providers google php bin/magento config:set twofactorauth/google/otp_window 60 Thank sirs

First off, I’d just like to say thank you to this community for the help, both with my last question (around caching) and for taking the time to answer such questions in general.

I am helping to transition a Magento store from an old server to a new – making some much needed infrastructure tweaks along the way. I’m almost there, but I’m wondering how best to transfer the data from old to new? I know there are import/export options, is that the way to go? Here is one constraint that may or may not make things more difficult: the “old” store is working well, however it is in production with little in the way of a contingency plan in the event of failure or setup related issues. Long story short, I would prefer not to install any additional extensions, etc. on that platform to keep it in good form until the new system is ready to replace it. Dumping data from the database, etc. would be no problem if that’s an option. The two installs are close enough in versions that there should be little in the way of compatibility of data between them (I’m thinking).

Primarily, I’d love to be able to transfer products, categories, customer data, and sales. If anyone has any helpful thoughts, I’d love to hear them.

Thanks in advance.

The platform it self is a pain to work with – everything is ass: admin menu layout, options logic, tax settings, work flow, no right click, updating hassle, plugins market fragmentation across multiple platforms/websites. Lack of plugins, lack of updated basic functions, worst possible built in shipping services, that even Fedex regional representatives makes blush.

Im probably gonna get fired, but on monday I will have to say my boss, that this was a huge mistake, and we need to just throw it in trash and start over on another platform. Burn in hell magento!!!

Im not gonna go into much details, because there is too much of it and I know I owe that to this community if I make such a post, but I just cant…

I am an experienced programmer and developer, but new to Magento. I’m working through things, and getting more comfortable every day. Something that has been frustrating is the various caching mechanisms in play, and their impact on changes to various design files and configuration. It’s had me spinning my wheels a few times, seemingly nothing would work – me thinking I had no idea what was going on – and a server reboot seemed to magically put everything in place. Currently, I’m updating some content blocks, and for the life of me I cannot see the changes I am making. Similarly, I’ve made edits to pages that seemed to preserve and hang onto their old content. I’ve created xml configuration-based files that have done nothing (except apparently on server reboot).

What am I missing here? Note that I understand the concept of the Magento system caches – but obviously not everything. I have configured and am using Varnish if that makes a difference. Magento developers here: When you make changes to configuration and/or theme related files, how do you test and/or view the changes immediately?

Hope someone can point me in the right direction.

i am experimenting with trying to load a datalayer for tagmanager in the head and I thought I would start with something simple and i can’t even make that work.

I am adding this to default.xml

<body>
<referenceBlock name=”head.additional”>
<block class=”Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template” name=”main.test” before=”-” template=”Magento_InventoryInStorePickupFrontend::html/test.phtml”>

</referenceBlock>
</body>

as everyone syas it will load it into the <head>

​

Alas, it loads it in the body

​

thanks

Hi,

I am searching for a solution on how to have the category navigation output twice on my website.

I have tried copying sections.phtml and renaming it and then also renaming all variables inside it.

i am then calling it in the default.xml as “sections_modded.phtml” but nothing loads.

It must be am issue with the classes inside the file not being allowed to load (sorry if i am using the wrong terms here) as when i replace the contents with bogus text then that text does output.

Any hints or ideas?

thanks

Got a bit of a situation here at my job and I’m curious what you all think.
I’m working on web development for a mid-sized solar distribution company using Magento 2.4.4. Our product catalog is extensive, featuring thousands of items, and we’ve achieved impressive SEO results over the years. Currently, our main challenge is the fact that our customers are unable to actually make a purchase on our site. This is primarily due to the high costs of our main selling products – complete residential and commercial solar systems, often in the $10,000 – $15,000 range.
I’m brainstorming ways to up our game and make things smoother for our customers. I’m thinking of either tweaking our current site to add a shopping cart for some smaller items (thinking maybe 75 – 100 products to start) or maybe setting up a whole new sister Shopify site just for these items. Magento Extensions?
What do you guys think? Has anyone done something similar? Would love to hear some thoughts or advice on this!

Hello,

I am looking for a great video carousel for Magento.

I am a WordPress expert and have 0 experience with Magento.

Im somewhat new to Magento with my first Magento site hopefully going live next year.

My current website is Neto/Maropost where they have a pretty active Facebook group.

By comparison this Reddit community is the closest I’ve found so far to that, but by comparison it’s a lot quieter.

Do you know of any other Magento communities that are a bit more active and inspiring?

Hiya, wondering is anyone offering product manuals on their PDPs? How are you doing this currently?

I am keen on this module, wondering if anyone is using it?
