Magetno fix : Cant add products to admin create order
0There appears to be a bug in magento 1.5x where by manually creating an order and trying to add a product does not work. It appears to be an issue with ext-tree.js which is called unnecessarily on this page.
To fix edit app/design/adminhtml/default/default/layout/sales.xml
and add
<action method="removeItem"><type>js</type><name>extjs/ext-tree.js</name></action>
like so:
<adminhtml_sales_order_create_index> <reference name="left"> <action method="setIsCollapsed"><value>true</value></action> </reference> <reference name="head"> <action method="removeItem"><type>js</type><name>extjs/ext-tree.js</name></action> <action method="addJs"><file>mage/adminhtml/sales.js</file></action>

if ($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == "newdomain.com" || $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == "www.newdomain.com"){
$_SERVER["MAGE_RUN_CODE"] = "website_code";
$_SERVER["MAGE_RUN_TYPE"] = "website";
}
/* Store or website code */
$mageRunCode = isset($_SERVER['MAGE_RUN_CODE']) ? $_SERVER['MAGE_RUN_CODE'] : '';

Magento fix : Local file doesn’t exist
0If you have upgraded your magento or coppied it across from dev to live or live to dev you may find that Magento connect is throwing “Local file doesn’t exist:” error. This is generated from lib/Mage/Connect/Ftp.php. The error occurs if you have oped to use the new ftp connection method for magento connect. This is a long sought after method of using connect but this is the down side. Rather than store your ftp date in the database the Magento team have opted to store this info in a file… downloader/connect.cfg to be precise.
This is a text file which you will see contains the info you used when setting up Connect. Make the necessary changes to this to reflect the new server location.

Magento tip : use Template Masters Easy Spotlight and Easy Catalog Images together
