Here is a good news for all WordPress lovers who find it hard to work with Magento. The Magento WordPress Integration plugin for WordPress primarily allows you to initiate an instance of your local Magento installation in your WordPress theme. This allows you to communicate with your Magento store to bring in certain elements that are usually unavailable, such as the mini shopping cart, navigation, logos, static blocks, and more.

The Magento WordPress Integration plugin also allows you to show any number of Magento products in a WordPress post or page, with the ability to add simple products straight to the Magento shopping cart.

There are tutorials all around the web as well as at the Inchoo website that guide you through various Google services integration with Magento eCommerce platform. I wanted to unite all of these resources on one place and also bring something new to the table.

1. Google Analytics integration with Magento
2. Google AdWords conversion tracking with Magento
3. Google Base integration with Magento
4. Google’s Feedburner service integration with Magento

Recently one of our clients needed and info on Affiliate module for Magento. When it comes to Magento, word “module” is loosely related. Sure, every module needs config files in order to report it’s “connection” to Magento core. Modules like this, Affiliates for all, are modules I consider loosely related to core. They are in one or another way connected to Magento but they are self standing, independent, applications.

Installation of Affiliate module is a trivial task. It mostly comes down to extracting downloaded archive file to a web accessible directory (to your server, hosting) and configuring the config.inc file. (For security reasons, try renaming the config.inc to config.inc.php, plus changing the /lib/bootstrap.php on line 23 to include config.inc.php). After importing affiliates.sql into the database our installation is done.

I see my coworker and friend Željko Prša made a nice little post on Adding a new language in Magento so I figure I’ll jump with a little Drupal to Magento integration trick concerning link issues and multilingual sites. Here is a piece of code you can use in your Drupal templates to do the proper switching from Drupal site to Magento while keeping the selected language of site.
