Magento Hosting News

hi there,

We have a brand new Magento 2 Hyva themes ecomm fashion website build that we are potentially looking to sell. Our brand is changing hands and the ecomm side of the business is closing. We are selling the website build, not the business or brand.
The website was only completed at the end of 2022 and has been continually updated until now so its bang up to spec and cost in the region of £40k overall. Access to the original developer is on hand if required to continue work on it.
if interested please contact me at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])

many thanks Tim

I’m looking to noindex most filters on my product category pages (collections) as most of them aren’t keywords that people would search organically.

However, certain filters have keywords associated with them that do have search volume. Other than creating more collections, am I able to selectively enable these filters to be indexable, whilst leaving most others as noindexed?

For example, the collection is T-shirts. For argument’s sake, I don’t want to create a new collection for White T-shirts, I want to enable the filter for Colour: White to be indexed by Google, therefore creating a searchable page. How do I got about allowing for this, whilst also not allowing the filter Sleeve Length: Long to be indexed?

As an additional bonus points question: How can two filters applied, i.e. Long Sleeve White T-shirts be canonicalised to the filter page White T-shirts?

Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

Hi,

So I run a couple of small websites (about 400K revenue p.a total.) on Magento 2 open source. I know we’re not in the typical target market for Magento , but overall I’m happy with it, despite the learning curve. We’ve been using Magento for about 7 years. If starting from scratch, we’d probably use something else, but here we are.

On a performance level, we’re happy. We use Nexcess for hosting who we’re happy with. We’re also looking to add a B2B version of one of our sites as we sell wholesale also, which it looks like Magento 2 is a good option for.

My concern is with security and particularly the cart/ payment system. We’ve never had any issues, or security breach on the cart that we’re aware of. BUT, as we’re growing (slowly), I would prefer that the cart security etc.. is handled by someone else, in case of e.g. customer details being stolen from our checkout process.

I’m wondering if it’s possible to have the cart process outsourced to an SaaS type service (e.g. like shopify), while keeping most of the website frontend and backend on Magento?

Also, just wondering if people think Magento will ever offer a SaaS type service for smaller businesses (Enterprise is just way outside our budget). I recall them doing MagentoGo, but seems to be long gone.

Thanks

I just started a new job as a Magento developer.

When cloning a project that took longer than expected, I discovered all of the vendors were committed on our VCS.

I asked the CTO and he said they started doing this because they had an issue with modules versions and composer at some point, but they didn’t go more in depth.

I know this is definitely not good practice, but is it something I need to lose time over to convince them to change or should I just do as they’ve always done? If I need to convince them, how would you do it?

My company is trying to bring all of our Magento development in-house. Right now we are working with an agency that is managing all of it and our website is the final piece of the puzzle that we do not currently fully own with our in-house development team.

I’ve had a posting for a Senior Magento development position where I specifically state that I’m looking for someone that knows Magento inside and out, knows how to create customizations, and more or less be able to build new functionality as needed.

Obviously, they would still be supported by the agency until we can more fill out our team, but I would be expecting this candidate to know enough that we can start bringing the code in-house and manage our deployments and eventually become a team lead.

However, during the interview process I have a small coding test in PHP and while all these candidates sound experience in Magento and is able to speak to things they’ve done and various projects they’ve worked on, they almost always fail to code fluently in PHP. I personally have 10 years of experience in another language and when first given this test myself, I was able to solve it in 15 minutes with a polished solution in 20.

Am I overvaluing how good of a PHP developer this particular role needs to know or should I be looking for a PHP developer first and then see if they have Magento experience?

What are the key metrics to consider for Magento performance optimization?

Task:

In e-commerce systems such as Prestashop and Magento, it is possible to set up real-time product synchronization between these platforms using built-in or additional secure APIs. This setup should ensure that:

1. Descriptions and titles must be in Polish in one system and in English in the other.
2. Translations should be performed using a translation API, such as Deepl.
3. Implement currency conversion based on the previous day’s rates from the National Bank of Poland (NBP), with the currency being PLN in one service and either euros or dollars in the other, rounding up to whole numbers.

I need help with this task. I am performing the task on Ubuntu Server 20.4 LTS. My plan is as follows: in the Prestashop database, there is a table: ps_product_lang Product names and descriptions, with keys id_product, id_lang, which I intend to use. In Magento: catalog_product_entity_varchar. With such tables, I plan to create a third database, which is a combination of the Magento and Prestashop databases. There, I will place a query or write a Python script that connects to this database and extracts information, which is then translated using the library: from deep_translator import GoogleTranslator, and uses the API for NBP. I will place this entire script in the home directory on Ubuntu and upload it to crontab to synchronize data every minute. Does this idea make sense? Is there an easier idea? Please help and thank you.

Hi everyone!

We are developing a new site using hyva theme. Anyone successfully got a nice search engine working? Currently using algolia but seems not to work out of the box for the hyva theme

Anyone found a nice working solution for search?

I have spent days trying to make fotorama behave like a simple dump of images instead of all the fancy stuff, and I keep failing in new and wonderful ways every day.

I do know how to gut it out completetely and load all the product images on the page instead but I have no idea how to refresh said images on a configurable product when a selection is made, i.e. from “black” to “red”. That is what fotorama does through some json, which I do not know how to even begin replicating in my simple image dump php script.

any ideas?

Hi,

Despite making all the necessary settings to our Magento website, we are still unable to see the website name above the domain name in Google search results. What might be wrong?

In magento 2.x REST API docs, below output is shown as a sample, the label data based on store views. But when i tried to hit the API it replied only label and value, not able to get store based labels.

Given in doc:

[ { "label": "string", "value": "string", "sort_order": 0, "is_default": true, "store_labels": [ { "store_id": 0, "label": "string" } ] } ] 

https://adobe-commerce.redoc.ly/2.4.6-admin/tag/productsattributesattributeCodeoptions/

What we got (tested in magento 2.6 and 2.7):

[ { "label": " ", "value": "" } ] 

Need a solution. I am using community version. If anyone had faced issue or have solution, help me.

Hi all,
I run an affiliate marketing website and I’d like to get an AI chatbot to answer simple customer queries.
I’ve looked at Intercom, Zendesk, Tidio, LiveChat and I’m a bit confused.
I’ve also looked at app.cloo.ai which helped me narrow down the choices but I’d like to get some real humans to confirm what Cloo told me.
Any help please? What do you pay attention to when choosing?

Hi there.

I connected my company’s website (Magento 1.9.1) to FedEx in order to include it as a shipping option.
I set up correctly (?) my Account ID, meter number, key & password.

What I achieved so far: By clicking to checkout the following message appears:

“This shipping method is not available, please specify ZIP-code”

When a ZIP / Postal code is added though, the option instantly vanishes itself, like there’s no FedEx shipping option in the website.
I have already allowed all applicable countries for shipping & set a max 5kg of packages.

Plz Help :’)
