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...]

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...]

Technical Facts About Newsletter Distribution for Online Merchants

September 28, 2011 by Marco Steinhäuser 3 Comments

There are many different aspects to consider when distributing a newsletter to clients of your online store: categorization, definition, content, legal conditions and technical facts. In this post, I’ll concentrate only on the technical aspects. Newsletters are emails containing information or promotions that you, as a shop owner, wish to send to your registered customers. In some countries, [Read more...]

OXID eShop and PHP Zend Guard

November 9, 2010 by Marco Steinhäuser 9 Comments

At the beginning of this year, I wrote about the incompatibility of Zend Guard Loader (formerly known as Zend Optimizer) with PHP 5.3.x. Although PHP 5.3.0 was published over a year ago (November 1, 2009), there is no solution for Zend Optimizer or Zend Guard yet, and Zend Server doesn't properly decrypt files encoded by Zend Guard. This has been a problem for OXID eShop PE and EE customers, [Read more...]
