Magento tip : Fatal error: Class ‘xxxxx’ not found in pathto/httpdocs/app/ Mage.php on line 520
0We have seen this problem listed on just about every magento forum and blog.. Then we hit the error on one of our stores.
Essentially, you install a new module either from command line or Connect and immediately the site starts to throw this error either in backend or front or both.
The simple answer is to turn off compilation.. then install your module and re-run compilation.
Very annoying…

Magento tip : Add product thumbnails to grouped products.
6There are many things in the Community Edition of Magento that seem to be half finished. The example that we are looking at here is the Grouped Product. This is a very useful feature that allows show owners to add a group of simply products together into a group. The shopper can then select any or all of the products that are part of the group.

How to add Product Image and Description to Email to a friend Transactional Email
3It would be very handy when a user uses Magento’s Email to a friend feature that at least an image of the product and description can be sent to the friend in question. While the Image can be added easily it is a little more tricky to get the description.

Magento tip : use Template Masters Easy Spotlight and Easy Catalog Images together
0These two very popular Free Magneto Extensions from Template Masters don’t play well together. If you try to use them both at the same time you will only get the output from EasySpotlight. The trick is to essentially blend the two together by copying the Easy Catalog Images extension code from easycatalogimg/view.phtml to easyspotlight/category/view.phtml (more…)
Magneto hint : Google Base – Read Timed Out after 10 seconds
3A few of our clients have informed us that they are receiving the above error while attempting to update google base.
This appears to be something that google has changed rather than a problem with magento or zend.
The answer requires a slight tweak of the core code in this case
/lib/Zend/Http/Client.php
find the line
‘timeout’ => 10
and increase to 30.
Now try and reload your google base info
Magento bug work around : street address must be equal to or greater than x characters
11.5.0.1 has a whole range of bugs and irritations for early adopters. From changes to the templates, changes to pear. To add to the mix there is the check out error bug that throws the error “street address must be equal to or greater than x characters”. This happens if a returning customer is attempting to ship to an existing address. They are forced to enter a new address even if it is identical to the existing address.
The work around is in the backend
System>Configuration>Customers>Customer Configuration>Name and Address Options
look for Number of Lines in a Street Address
clear this (will probably show a 2) and save
This should now have fixed the problem
Magento hint : css / js / javascritp files trying to show as absolute server paths
0Essentially you need to tell your installation not to merge javascirpt or css. Turnign this off will allow you to try again. Either try and make sense of the non-css non-javascript backend to get to the developer section under system > config or use the phpmyadmin to alter the settings in core-config-data table.
