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...]

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...]

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...]

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.
