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...]

Recap of the Developer Meet-up in Leipzig on Friday, March 11th

March 17, 2011 by Marco Steinhäuser 4 Comments

As earlier announced in my blog post on oxid-esales.com, Friday, March 11th, was our first local developer meet-up in Leipzig, Germany. I personally was really surprised to see 16 people attending, including developers from our partners D³ Data Development (Thalheim, Saxony), GN2 netwerk (Coburg, Bavaria), marmalade.de (Magdeburg, Saxony-Anhalt), dotSource GmbH (Jena, Thuringia) and Ontraq [Read more...]

Switching to Ubuntu Part III: Working with VirtualBox

November 10, 2010 by Marco Steinhäuser Leave a Comment

After publishing my last blog post about switching to Ubuntu, I took a short break for a while. I had a few problems: I couldn't get the VPN running as my company was using a proprietary protocol. I couldn't find a good Exchange client replacement under Linux. My company had bought me an iPhone and iTunes was not available on Linux. I came up with a solution to bypass these problems. I [Read more...]

Configure the Language Sites of your OXID eShop Installation

November 3, 2010 by Marco Steinhäuser 9 Comments

Daily, there are more and more new online stores using OXID eShop. Some of these shops are supposed to be available in just one language (e.g. German), nevertheless they tend to forget to disable English, which is enabled as an additional language in OXID eShop by default. This issue rears its ugly head if for example a browser's standard language has been configured in English and the shop is [Read more...]

First Open Source Meeting in Leipzig Recap

November 26, 2009 by Marco Steinhäuser 1 Comment

Awesome, awesome, awesome :-) I never expected 35 (!) people bringing together after this very short-term announcement, I was really surprised! Obviously, most attendees did not even see the direct announcement but heard it somehow as a rumor from their friends: "Did you hear about that Open Source Meeting? I cannot go but you ought to... ". And this is how it actually shall work. Hey, Leipzig [Read more...]

Rewritebase OXID eShop

November 22, 2009 by Marco Steinhäuser Leave a Comment

Again and again I see my website being found with the key word "rewritebase oxid eshop". Obviously this seems not to be a clear case. Let me explain it: The OXID eShop strictly uses so called re-written URLs, known as "permalinks" in WordPress. In opposite to e.g. Wordpress, you cannot choose between "regular" URLs and re-written URLs, it's use is assumed and this, absolutely makes sense: Who [Read more...]

Switching to Ubuntu Part II – how to install Twhirl

November 2, 2009 by Marco Steinhäuser 1 Comment

Of course, you have to announce your new blog posts over Twitter. A cool twitter client is not the worst idea - I personally decided to run Twhirl for this purpose because Twhirl is able to run multiple accounts. As Twhirl is based on the platform Adobe Air, you first have to install this one. Go to http://get.adobe.com/air/, download it to your /home/ folder. Open the command line and type [Read more...]

Switching to Ubuntu, Part I – how to install Skype on Ubuntu

November 2, 2009 by Marco Steinhäuser Leave a Comment

If you are in business, your companies' IT policy is perhaps to run Microsoft products like Windows OS only. Although you might have a bit of freedom in this manner (let's say because you are presenting on Open Source software fairs and need to run a Linux for this case) the switch might be not that easy thinking about Microsoft Exchange, Skype, VPN, Microsoft Office and so on. For me, it is [Read more...]

OXID Partner Day 2009

October 22, 2009 by Marco Steinhäuser 2 Comments

After my one-week-trip to Barcelona (maybe another blogpost will follow about it) I will go to Freiburg next week, gladly taking part in OXID's Partner Day 2009 on October, 27th. As usual, a lot of OXID partners will come presenting themselves, discussing about OXID eSales news and attending the so called "Best Solution Award", an award for the best shopping cart software implementation split up [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.
