GitHub contributors: we facilitaded OCA signing

January 15, 2015 by Marco Steinhäuser 2 Comments

OXID eShop is available under two different licenses, GPLv3 and a commercial license. That's why contributors have to sign up a so called "OXID Contributor Agreement" (OCA) before their contributions can be merged. In the past, this step was painful: most contributors didn't read the README.md file attentively enough and had to be pointed during the discussion about their contribution to the [Read more...]

New software despite a legacy database – slides online

December 19, 2014 by Marco Steinhäuser Leave a Comment

Earlier this year, me and some mates attended the Symfony Live event in Berlin. As we at OXID are presently about to restructure our software architecture, we are happy to share our experience, potential pitfalls, concepts and possible resolutions. So two of us, Gigi (Product Owner) and Philip (Software Architect), held the talk "New software despite a legacy database". The talk was pretty [Read more...]

Working with a child theme in OXID eShop – using language names instead of flags

December 10, 2014 by Marco Steinhäuser Leave a Comment

The default Azure theme, shipped with OXID eShop, uses flags instead of language names for the language changer. This makes sense when working with just two languages in your installation like English and German but quickly gets confusing when more languages are provided. In this case you most likely want to have the names of the language displayed instead of the flags. Of course you could make [Read more...]

ioly – the new open source module manager for any PHP project

December 4, 2014 by Marco Steinhäuser 1 Comment

The weather in Germany usually becomes rainy, grey and cheerless by the end of October / beginning of November, so no wonder some people move for a holiday trip southward if they can afford it. An interesting idea is to combine both, job and holiday and to stock up on some sunshine while working in the bright and sunny realms. This is exactly what some of the developers - I count myself [Read more...]

Scaling down large images with imagemagick

November 24, 2014 by Marco Steinhäuser Leave a Comment

Problem A friend of mine is photographing a lot and feels in charge to share his pictures to others via Internet. He suffered from the size of his high-resolution pictures taken en masse: he simply couldn't find an appropriate platform for sharing a dozen GB. Having a look at it I found single pictures with the size of 12 megapixels at ~ 6 MB. For use at the Internet and even for just having a [Read more...]

Why OXID decided for using Symfony2

November 3, 2014 by Marco Steinhäuser 3 Comments

A few days ago I stumbled upon an article by PHPmagazin with the results of a poll (in German) about the most popular PHP framework. As PHPmagazin says, 5.000 PHP developers have been surveyed, with the result that more than a quarter of them would prefer Yii with it's outstanding high security standards and usage of most modern technologies. Symfony was relegated to the second place. As we at [Read more...]

Parental leave in July and August

June 18, 2014 by Marco Steinhäuser 2 Comments

In Germany we have the possibility that also daddy can take on (part of) the parental leave. So I'll have the honor to take care of my youngest born for two month, from July 26th until August 25th. All my daily tasks have gratefully been taken over by reliable colleagues and community members. I can't work on bigger projects like planet OXID and the translation center in this time. Please [Read more...]

The Very First European Community Leadership Summit

May 2, 2014 by Marco Steinhäuser Leave a Comment

Community Leadership Summit originally was conceived back in 2009 by Jono Bacon, the community manager for the global Ubuntu community and author of "The Art of Community" by O'Reilly, and he has organized it each year since now in Portland, [Read more...]

Updating the translation platform for OXID eShop

March 18, 2014 by Marco Steinhäuser Leave a Comment

The last weekend I spent in Herdecke, Germany on invitation of my mate Daniel Schlichtholz, the main coder of the translation center oTranCe. oTranCe was originally invented for localizing and managing the language keys of Daniel's other pet project, MySQLDumper, and is used as a localisation center for OXID eShop as well. So me and Daniel spent a plenty of time with updating the software oTranCe [Read more...]

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...]
