Recent acquisition of Magento rattles the cage of Magento community these days. The news brought some level of unsettlement to the souls of Magento developers. Some of them switched the panic mode on and even wondered whether it is time to leave the ship.
However, when the dust settled, people realize that not so much wil change. Most important fact is that X.Commerce will not be a platform. It is just a concept that wraps different solutions and technologies together. Therefore, Magento will stay is quite similar shape and goals as it is. In the light of these events, we renewed our partnership program because we strongly believe Magento is and will be the primal eCommerce platform in years to come.
Magento create multiple shipping programmatically
I had to write a use case where if the customer buys more than one product then both products need to shipped to different addresses. So after some hair pulling, and looking into the code, i found how to do that. Basically i studied the default code in magento for single shipping and multishipping, that helped in framing the logic for this. Please note that i am using a label “customaddresslabel” for the temporary addresses created. You can change this depending on your business requirement.
Setting up a second homepage in Magento
tion with different themes (e.g. two stores), you need to setup a second homepage for your second store, and it’s fairly simple.
Simply go to CMS > Manage CMS pages to create a new page with below setting:
Enable and save the page. Now go to the first home’s cms page (which is a default homepage created by magento), see if the “All Store Views” has selected. If yes, dis-select it and select the respective store for your first homepage.
