Setting up OXID eShop on a LAMP system on LinuxMint

December 5, 2013 by Marco Steinhäuser Leave a Comment

This is more or less a notice to myself. I switched to LinuxMint recently and tried to setup a LAMP system including all modules in order to run OXID eShop on it (I basically need it for my daily work). This became fairly different to the Ubuntu installations I ran before, and I found some dodgy tricks that I want to document here. First off, this is the exact Linux version I run, found with $ [Read more...]

A Concert for Holger Hempel, Fighting on Cancer

November 22, 2013 by Marco Steinhäuser Leave a Comment

Holger, one of Leipzig's most empathetic saxophone and keyboarder players, and a good mate of mine is suffering from cancer quite recently. In a spectacular campaign on Facebook, his friends are about to organize a concert on December 8th at the club Anker Leipzig The revenue from the entry fees (8 EUR) will help to pay for the raising costs for his therapy. In the mean time, the concert twists [Read more...]

Distributed Installations with Different URLs for Languages

July 17, 2013 by Marco Steinhäuser 3 Comments

Google and other search engines decide from the location of your server IP address how your site will rank in their search results. This might become a problem, especially for e-commerce sites, if you want to target another market, as these kind of sites usually change their content incessantly, like the stock display etc. Let’s start over with an example to state the case more clearly.

How to Write a Module for OXID eShop: Round the Price on Product Details Page to a Fiver

June 10, 2013 by Marco Steinhäuser 2 Comments

For my next tutorial about writing modules for OXID eShop I chose a very simple example. The aim is to round up the display of the price on the product details page to the next five cent (or any other currency of your choice). This is because there are countries where it doesn't make sense to display prices like 7.99 EUR because the value doesn't even impact on your money bag and the tax [Read more...]

How to Write a Module for OXID eShop: Display “You will save x %” on the Product Details Page

June 3, 2013 by Marco Steinhäuser 7 Comments

Upfront: although I probably have a good technical understanding I am not a software developer. So it’s a pleasure to thank my mates @tabsl, @vanilla_thunder, @jkrug @l3k, @stasiukaitis-saulius and especially @DSB for the patient, almost friendly help while writing this OXID eShop module sample, and letting me understand what each line of code does. My thanks also goes to my mate @stew who usually [Read more...]

Romanization and Transliteration of Special Characters in the URL – the Right Way to go for International SEO?

May 6, 2013 by Marco Steinhäuser 4 Comments

Let me say this upfront: I am neither a specialist in linguistics nor in international SEO (search engine optimization). But there’s one thing that has been keeping my brain busy for some time: what is the right method of rewriting a URL if you want to stand amongst a foreign market, on maybe alternative search engines, that uses different characters than simple Latin? You might know that I am [Read more...]

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2013!

December 21, 2012 by Marco Steinhäuser 2 Comments

Dear friends, actually I wanted to manually send signed Christmas cards to the most distinguished community members and friends. But they took a very long way from our headquarters in Freiburg to the office in Halle and only arrived yesterday. Not enough time left to give them the time to arrive punctually, especially thinking of foreign addressees. So here they are: Merry [Read more...]

Connecting a HP Deskjet 3050A J611 to a DD-WRT Router when using Ubuntu

November 3, 2012 by Marco Steinhäuser 3 Comments

Today, we bought a new all-in-one device for home use, a HP Deskjet 3050A J611 series, that was told to be capable for WiFi connections. The delivered software on a CD is available for Windows and Mac OS machines only. Now I run Ubuntu which shall not be a problem as all HP devices are supported by default on this operating system. And right: I got it working very simply. Connect the USB cable [Read more...]

Display a Diff as a Webpage using diff2html

September 26, 2012 by Marco Steinhäuser 5 Comments

Sometimes, especially for documentation purposes, it might be necessary to show a unified diff as a HTML page. As we will ditch Basic theme in OXID eShop version 4.7/5.0, we had to document how to convert a customized theme based on Basic if you want to update. Included, we wanted to deliver a visual diff of the categorylist.tpl file to show how the category tree was loaded before and how it [Read more...]

Like We Nearly Entered the Baltic Fleet

August 22, 2012 by Marco Steinhäuser 1 Comment

We are back from holiday. We camped in the beautiful seaside regions of Croatia, like we did in the last year. Awesome, if you just want to have wonderful summer weather, warm water without any sharks, a camp site in ample shade, and a scenic landscape around you. Not in a camper as you might assume but just in our old family wagon and a tent. One morning Theo and I pumped up the rubber [Read more...]

Sorry @itstyleryang, had to opt out your "talent community". A community focused around candidates who are interested in working 'with' Shopify might be far away from following your marketing blah-blah. I expected more suitable content.
