Magento Trademark and Licencing FaQ

by svilen001/sxc

During my time of active involvement with Magento and its community, I’ve seen numerous questions regarding the Magento Trademark, licencing and similar. I decided to sum up some of the questions that I can answer. Should you have any additional questions regarding these matters, I think the best shot of getting it answered quickly is to contact Rhonda Rondeau – Magento’s community manager – who is really responsive to our (community’s) questions.

Adding extra security to the Magento’s admin “Forgot your password?”

Adding extra security to the Magento’s admin “Forgot your password?”

For those of you interested in adding a little extra security to your Magento’s admin “Forgot your password?” feature, you might find this module useful. The thing about current Magento (1.4.2.0) “Forgot your password?” feature is that it immediately resets your password and sends it to you in an email. Unlike many other systems, Magento won’t send you a “Password change confirmation” email first with some randomly generated key/url which you need to visit in order to actually change your password. It will reset you password immediately. Read more

Teraflex.biz revamp

Teraflex.biz revamp

The relationship with Teraflex started 3 years ago by designing and developing their first online shop on Magento coupled with WordPress. It was a success for both since their “online business steadily increased” over the years and the community got a place to participate with their feedback and content.

That was in 2008 and we just started with Magento who just turned to version 1.0, adapting to the platform, gathering experience and consuming large amounts of coffee. Before than, they had a simple static website.

Debugging PayPal IPN in Magento

Debugging PayPal IPN in Magento

by kakaopor/sxc

Probably one of the most used payment options (gateways) within Magento, and most likely every other cart system is the PayPal. This payment gateway is built into the default Magento installation. All you need to do is to punch in few configuration options under “System > Configuration > Payment methods“ and you are ready to go.

Great thing about the PayPal – Magento relation is the IPN feature of the PayPal itself. By definition IPN stands for Instant Payment Notification. Its a feature of PayPal that allows you to integrate your PayPal payments with your website’s back-end operations, so you get immediate notification and authentication of the PayPal payments you receive.
