Software Magento 1.5.0.1 Server Environment (dedicated) Lynix/Windows Apache PHP MySQL Problem Description After upgrading to 1.5.0.1 version of Magento, CSV-based import does not import images. All other product information gets imported correctly, but images are being ignored. Workaround (solution pending) Upgrade to the latest version of Magento (at the moment it is ver. 1.5.1.0-beta1). Create a new import profile just for images and bring them in separately. To do so follow the steps below: go to System > Import/Export > Dataflow – Profiles. Click Add New Profile. Setup a profile and select NO for “Original Magento attribute names in first row” (see attached screenshot) Map the fields to the ones in your CSV Save and Run the profile with your CSV As long as the product is already imported the image CSV can just have a sku, image, thumbnail, small_image fields. If the product does not exist, you’ll get an error on that line. Hope this helps...

Software Magento 1.5.0.1 Server Environment (dedicated) Lynix Apache PHP MySQL Problem Description When using Insert Image function in Magento’s WYSIWYG, Create Folder function results in the following error: SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table ‘colorado_soybu.magento_core_directory_storage’ doesn’t exist Solution The issue is caused by a missing “core_directory_storage” table. To remedy you’ll need to run the following command on your MySQL database (please make sure that you replace “mag_” table prefix with your own): CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS mag_core_directory_storage ( `directory_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `name` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT ”, `path` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT ”, `upload_time` TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, `parent_id` int(10) unsigned DEFAULT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`directory_id`), UNIQUE KEY `IDX_DIRECTORY_PATH` (`name`, `path`), KEY `parent_id` (`parent_id`), CONSTRAINT `FK_DIRECTORY_PARENT_ID` FOREIGN KEY (`parent_id`) REFERENCES mag_core_directory_storage (`directory_id`) ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE CASCADE ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT...

iFrames are coming! As you may have already noticed, your favorite video sharing websites like Vimeo & YouTube had begun introducing iFrame based syndication of their embeddable players. While this offers a variety of new features, like iPad support for embedded videos, it might be very challenging for WordPress bloggers to insert iFrame-based code into their blog posts. By default, such code would be filtered out by TinyMCE – WordPress’ WYSIWYG (or Rich Text) editor. Fear not, the solution is simple enough. Just add the following code to the functions.php file of your template, and voilà – life is beautiful once more. function add_iframe($initArray) { $initArray['extended_valid_elements'] = "iframe[id|class|title|style|align|frameborder|height|longdesc|marginheight|marginwidth|name|scrolling|src|width]"; return $initArray; } add_filter('tiny_mce_before_init',...

To help increase efficiency Shopatron, launched the new “Quick Bid” tool today. The Quick Bid was developed entirely based on feedback garnered from Shopatron’s fulfillment partners. This new tool, allows you to place multiple bids at once, and requires less jumping back and forth between screens. The Quick Bid also lets you quickly select, save, and re-use your order viewing filters. Here are some basic features of the new tool: Set and save your Order Display options (or “filters”) so they automatically take effect the next time you view orders and place bids. Place bids from a single screen. Place multiple bids at one time. You stay on the same page after you place a bid. Since you spend less time jumping between bidding screens, you can place your bids faster. Click fewer buttons. Want to bid on all items in an order? Click the Select All button. If partial bids are not allowed, clicking one button will always select all items. View all order types with the same tool. Request standard PhysiBid, Express, In Store Pickup, and CertiBid orders without clicking a different icon. Use new, enhanced filters (such as filtering by specific manufacturer, hide status, or bid status) and find the orders you want to fill more quickly. The Quick Bid is now the default bidding interface within Shopatron and is visible upon entry to the available order...
