<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jeg har i dag lansert <a href="http://gledesprederen.no">gledesprederen.no</a> - En norsk Fair Trade Nettbutikk utviklet i Magento - Open source nettbutikksløsning.<br />
[caption id="attachment_78" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Gledespreder-skjermbilde"]<img src="http://mediakoordinator.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/gledespreder-skjerm.png" alt="Gledespreder-skjermbilde" width="500" height="128" class="size-full wp-image-78" />[/caption]</p>
<p>Alle produkter du finner hos <a href="http://gledesprederen.no">gledesprederen.no</a>  er produsert og importert ut i fra prinsippet om rettferdig handel: <a href="http://gledesprederen.no/fair-trade">Fair Trade</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://Gledesprederen.no">Gledesprederen.no</a> ønsker å styrke kvaliteten på tilgjengelige fair trade gaveartikler i Norge, slik at du ikke bare handler etisk for å gjøre en god gjerning, men fordi du også ønsker å finne noe unikt og spennende å gi som gave.</p>
<p>Fra nettsidene til gledespreder.no kan man bestille og <a href="http://gledesprederen.no/sende-gave-med-hilsen">sende gaver med hilsen til hele Norge</a></p>
<p>Fra 25. august til 25. september vil det bli lagt opp nye ting på nettsiden løpende, både varer og nye nettsider. Designet på sidene er ikke fullført, men funksjonelt inntil videre.</p>
<p>Det er inntil nå to betalingsmåter: Paypal og Faktura på E-post. Dette for å holde oppstartskostnadene på et minimum. Jeg har brukt mye tid på betalingsløsninger i det siste og vil senere skrive et innlegg om  det.</p>
<p><a href="http://Gledesprederen.no">Gledesprederen.no</a> er <a href="http://mediakoordinator.no">min</a> første Live <a href="http://magentocommerce.com"> Magento </a>installasjon og en av de første norske nettbutikker som bruker Magento på Norsk.</p>
<p>Det er også min egen lille familiebedrift.<br />
Kom endelig med kommentarer - jeg vil ta godt imot.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have installed a couple of e-commerce websites in the past and I keep coming back to <a title="osCommerce" href="http://www.oscommerce.com/">osCommerce</a>.  I find it to be powerful and yet very usable.  Easy to setup and configure.  I have recently tried to setup <a title="Magento" href="http://www.magentocommerce.com/">Magento</a> and I found it to be beautiful and very robust.  But a little more overhead that I am willing to put up with.  And most of the time I set the sites up for people that aren't technically savvy.  I have even thought about setting up an osCommerce site to sell my crap around the house.  Like a virtual garage sell.</p>

Mange publiseringsløsninger har store mangler når det kommer til tilpasning av nettstedets struktur og sidenes egenart. For å lage brukervennlige og relevante nettsider som har unikt innhold og som kan komme øverst på google søk og i andre søkemotorer bør det tekniske være på plass. Hermed økes forutsetningene for å bli funnet på Internett.<br />
<strong><br />
Sjekklisten vil gi en idé om et nettløsnings muligheter (CMS) sett i forhold til søkemotoroptimalisering (SEO):</strong><br />
Kontrollpunktene er til nå delt i disse følgende 14 avsnitt og utgør en god sjekkliste når du skal vurdere eller velge publiseringsløsning:</p>
<li> Side Titler<br />
Side Url'er<br />
Meta Tagger<br />
H Tagger<br />
Bilde tagger<br />
Sidens tekster og innhold<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well apparently there was/is a lot of confusion in the Magento community regarding "Virtual Products" vs. "Downloadable Products."  While the roadmap and the buzz seemed to indicate that they were going to be basically the same, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edCF6v_2hW8" target="_blank">more research</a> shows that the developers had to split "Downloadable Products" out of the 1.1 release as it was not yet ready.  "Virtual Products" are simply products that do not require shipping (perhaps an event registration).  The developers say that "Downloadable Products" are high on the list, and should be in the next release.  They may be too late.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I've been geekishly excited with anticipation for this day.  <a href="http://www.magentocommerce.com/blog/comments/magento-11-is-here-1/" target="_blank">Magento 1.1.1 is finally available</a>.  (this means digital downloads are now an option with Magento) I've narrowed the field of Open Source eCommerce solutions down to Magento and <a href="http://www.ubercart.org" target="_blank">Ubercart</a> (powered by <a href="http://drupal.org" target="_blank">Drupal</a>).  Either of these look like they will suit our needs, and I've had some contact with an Ubercart developer who may be willing to jump on board and help us, but I'm still clinging to Magento's VERY impressive admin panel.  Oh my.  Decisions, decisions.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ihr habt ja bestimmt schon von <a title="Magento" href="http://www.magentocommerce.com" target="_blank">magento</a> gelesen. das ist eine neue shopsoftware aus den usa, die auch opensource ist und schon den kampf im ecommerce-bereich aufgenommen hat. Im Unterschied zu xtcommerce und oscommerce ist magento komplett neu programmiert und basirt auf der zend engine von php. So ist magento also modular aufgebaut und kann ganz einfach erweitert werdn. im moment gibts nich das problem, dass magento ein wenig laangsam ist, die peformance lässt bei magento echt zu wünschen übrig; zumindest wenn mann versucht, das dingen auf nem normaelen hosting-paket laufenzulassen. installation ist auch kein papenstiel, es werden die neuesten php-versionen vaorausgesetzt.</p>
<p>Fazit: es ist eine neue mächtige software am start, die eine ernsthafe konkurrznz zu xtcommerce und oscomemrce darstellt.</p>

<h1>Open Source Shop System Magento</h1>
<p>Mehrere Wochen ist es nun her, dass <a href="http://www.cccc.de/xist4c/web/magento-open-source-shopsystem_id_29381_.htm">Magento in der Version 1.0</a> veröffentlicht wurde. Das erste Release hat einiges Aufsehen erregt, aber auch leichten Unmut bei deutschen Shopbetreibern und Community-Mitgliedern ausgelöst. Bei einem persönlichen Meet-and-Greet mit Roy Rubin (CEO, Varien) in Frankfurt Ende April wurden diese Punkte angesprochen.</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="fsMediaShell">
<div class="img"><a href="http://www.cccc.de/xist4c/web/magento-open-source-shopsystem_id_29381_.htm"><img src="http://www.cccc.de/upload/magentocommerce-com-de_39121.jpg" border="0" alt="Magento Open Source Shopsystem magentocommerce.com" width="540" height="187" /></a></div>
</div>
<p>Für das <a href="http://www.cccc.de/xist4c/web/magento-open-source-shopsystem_id_29381_.htm">Open Source Shopsystem Magento</a> wurde lange Zeit die Werbetrommel gerührt, und zwar weniger von Varien selbst denn von der Community, die von der Roadmap und den darin versprochenen Funktionen und Möglichkeiten sehr überzeugt schien und endlich eine wahre Alternative zu bestehenden<a href="http://www.cccc.de/xist4c/web/magento-open-source-shopsystem_id_29381_.htm"> Open-Source-Online-Shopsystemen</a> sah. Bereits in der Betaphase zeigte sich schnell, dass Magento durchaus das halten konnte, was Varien in der Roadmap versprach (T3N berichtete in Ausgabe Nr. 10). Nun sind die ersten Gehversuche mit der stabilen Version vom 31. März getan. Auf dem deutschen Markt kam dabei schnell eine gewisse Ernüchterung auf: Magento stellt zwar ein ausgesprochen flexibles System dar, entspricht aber „out-of-the-box“ nicht den Voraussetzungen des deutschen Rechtssystems.</p>
<p>So fehlten beispielsweise die im Bezahlvorgang in Deutschland notwendigen Checkboxen für die AGB und die allseits bekannte Widerrufsbelehrung. An dieser Stelle hat die Community jedoch bereits reagiert und ein passendes Modul entwickelt, das diesen Mangel in bestehenden Magento-Installationen behebt, und die Administrationsoberfläche um entsprechende Bereiche ergänzt.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3><a id="system_requirements" name="system_requirements">System Requirements</a></h3>
<div class="level3">
<p>At the base level, Magento will require the following software.</p>
<p>You can check your system compatibility by following this <a class="urlextern" title="http://www.magentocommerce.com/knowledge-base/entry/how-do-i-know-if-my-server-is-compatible-with-magento" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.magentocommerce.com/knowledge-base/entry/how-do-i-know-if-my-server-is-compatible-with-magento">short guide</a>.</p>
<ul>
<li class="level1">
<div class="li">Linux, Windows, or another UNIX-compatible operating system</div>
</li>
<li class="level1">
<div class="li">Apache Web Server (1.x or 2.x)</div>
</li>
<li class="level1">
<div class="li"><acronym title="Hypertext Preprocessor">PHP</acronym> 5.2.0 or newer, with the following extensions/addons:</div>
<ul>
<li class="level2">
<div class="li">PDO/MySQL</div>
</li>

</ul>
<p>We also recommend the use of APC as a bytecode cache for performance improvements. You can find it in the PECL archives here: <a class="urlextern" title="http://pecl.php.net/package/APC" rel="nofollow" href="http://pecl.php.net/package/APC">http://pecl.php.net/package/APC</a>. Other bytecode cache systems are not supported at this time.</div>
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<h3><a id="installation" name="installation">Installation</a></h3>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<div class="level3">
<p>1. Download the .zip or .tar.gz <strong>installer</strong> package from the Magento website and decompress it.</p>
<p>2. Upload all the decompressed files to your web server via <acronym title="File Transfer Protocol">FTP</acronym></p>
<p>3. Create a MySQL database and user/password for Magento</p>
<ul>
<li class="level1">
<div class="li">You must install sample data before you run the installer.</div>
</li>
<li class="level1">
<div class="li">This step varies by hosting provider and is out of the scope of this document. Consult your provider’s support/documentation for instructions on how to do this.</div>
</li>
</ul>
<p>4. The top-level Magento directory (the one you uploaded the decompressed files to) must have the correct permissions in order for the installer to proceed. To do so, navigate to the directory with your <acronym title="File Transfer Protocol">FTP</acronym> client.  Then locate the function “Change Permissions” or “Change Mode” in your <acronym title="File Transfer Protocol">FTP</acronym> client and select it. Once you find the function, you must set the permissions so the web server can write to this file. There are two typical ways of representing file permissions in Linux:</p>
<ul>
<li class="level1">
<div class="li">As a number (eg, 755)</div>
</li>
<li class="level1">
<div class="li">As a series of permissions categorized into <em>user</em>, <em>group</em>, and <em>other</em></div>
</li>
</ul>
<p>If your <acronym title="File Transfer Protocol">FTP</acronym> client uses the first representation, set the permissions on the directory to be <strong>777</strong>, or <strong>0777</strong>.  If your <acronym title="File Transfer Protocol">FTP</acronym> client uses the second representation, set the permissions as shown in the image below.</p>
<p><a class="media" title="777_file_permissions.jpg" href="http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/_detail/general/777_file_permissions.jpg?id=magento_installation_guide&#38;cache=cache"><img class="media" src="http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/_media/general/777_file_permissions.jpg?w=&#38;h=&#38;cache=cache" alt="777_file_permissions.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>For more details about permissions please see this article: <a class="urlextern" title="http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/magento_filesystem_permissions" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/magento_filesystem_permissions"> Magento Filesystem Permissions</a></p>
<p>5. If your server primarily runs PHP4 then you will require the <strong>PHP5 <acronym title="Common Gateway Interface">CGI</acronym> Binary</strong> in order to continue.  Please read the <strong>PHP5 <acronym title="Common Gateway Interface">CGI</acronym> Setup</strong> appendix below and complete it before continuing to Step 6.</p>
<p>6. Now use your web browser to surf to the Magento installation wizard.  If you’ve uploaded the Magento files to <a class="urlextern" title="http://www.example.com/magento/" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.example.com/magento/">http://www.example.com/magento/</a>, then the wizard will be located here: <a class="urlextern" title="http://www.example.com/magento/" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.example.com/magento/">http://www.example.com/magento/</a>.</p>
<p>7. Since you are using the installer version, the <strong>downloader</strong> will be the first installation process to run. It will attempt to download all the necessary components for a complete Magento install. If you notice a few “Warning” messages zip by on the green-on-black screen, don’t worry too much about it. The installer will detect an overall success or failure, and if you see the “Continue Magento Installation” button at the end (usually takes about 5 minutes) then the process has succeeded. Click the “Continue Magento Installation” button to continue on to the regular installer wizard.</p>
<p>8. Once in the wizard, you can configure various system-level settings that are required for Magento to function. Most options will be intelligently guessed for you, but you’re free to override any settings that don’t look right. At the very least, change the database parameters in the first box, “Database connection”, to match those of the database you set up in Step 3.</p>
<p>9. Success! You’ve completed a Magento installation. You can now visit the administration backend and begin configuring your new online store.</p></div>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After much searching, tinkering, installing, re-installing, re-re-installing, etc., I've sort of narrowed down some options that look like really good possibilities for open-source, fully featured eCommerce solutions.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&#38;ct=res&#38;cd=1&#38;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.magentocommerce.com%2F&#38;ei=5_9jSLOzNoKuigHsw_iZCw&#38;usg=AFQjCNE-Pi0CSCkT_zzkJ8EEXQhcI0Ueag&#38;sig2=sEhrVMSRr0PQBhlRTuizxg" target="_blank">Magento</a>: Very obviously an extremely professional product.  Though relatively new, it's got TONS of support and buzz.  Right now I see two drawbacks: it looks like it'll take a good bit of tweaking and designing to make it look REALLY good (it looks "just good," though professional, out of the box), and it does not yet support "virtual products" (aka digital downloads).  For the first, we've got a crack team of <a href="http://www.webdrivenchurch.com" target="_blank">website</a> <a href="http://jeannamichelle.blogspot.com" target="_blank">gurus</a> here at GCC, and if they ever feel over their heads, we can hire some outside help to get it up and running.  For the second, the Magento team promises that virtual products will be an option in the next release, slated for sometime this July (and the alpha I tried out does indeed have it as an option, just not a working option yet)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.prestashop.com" target="_blank">PrestaShop</a>: Looks very, VERY nice out of the box, was EXTREMELY easy to use/customize.  Probably wouldn't need any outside help to make it look how we want, with plenty of flash (the aesthetic, not necessarily the technology).  Downsides: it's currently in Release Candidate 4 for the stable 1.0 version.  Hopefully that means full stable coming very soon.  Downloadable product size limited to 7MB, so we'd be restricted to users downloading PDFs with links/passwords to actual product.  Also, on my first run (today), the whole backend/admin panel suddenly stopped working.  Not sure what's going on.  Time for one of those re-installs.<br />
*update* before even posting this, I checked again, and was able to get to it.  I blame our lack of good connection here at work, as it had been timing out</p>
<p><a href="http://www.drupal.org" target="_blank">Drupal</a> with <a href="http://www.ubercart.org" target="_blank">Ubercart</a>: Actually has pretty much everything we need.  TONS of free modules, ability to have calendar with workshops scheduled, final releases of the software, all the options we are looking for.  Drawback: it just doesn't <em>seem</em> as professional as the other two.  Oddly enough, it seems like a CMS that has an eCommerce layer on top of it (hmm, wonder why that is).  Things are relatively clearly laid out.... it just doesn't FEEL as nice as the others (we're talking admin panel here).  The store itself should be pretty easy to make it look nice.</p>
<p>SO HERE'S MY QUESTION: Has anyone used any of these, and can provide feedback/advice on the good, bad, and ugly of using them in production?  These seem to be three of the top dogs in the open-source eCommerce community, but are there others that are so amazing that I simply must check them out?  Let me know!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Langkah demi langkah instalasi magento pada komputer anda/localhost</strong></p>
<p>1. Untuk localhost server, saya menggunakan <a title="xampp" href="http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html" target="_blank">XAMPP</a></p>
<p>2. Tambahkan beberapa extensi kedalam php.ini pada direktori \apache\bin</p>
<blockquote><p>extension=php_pdo.dll<br />
extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll<br />
extension=php_curl.dll<br />
extension=php_mcrypt.dll</p></blockquote>
<p>3. Download <a title="magento commerce" href="http://www.magentocommerce.com/download" target="_blank">Magento Commerce</a></p>
<blockquote><p>magento-1.0.19870.1.zip</p></blockquote>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>4. Ekstrak magento-1.0.19870.1.zip ke dalam folder root webserver anda, saya menggunakan default nama folder yang diberikan yaitu magento</p>
<p>5. Masuk ke dalam browser pilihan anda ( Firefox, IE, etc ) dan ketik localhost/magento dan anda akan dihadapkan pada tampilan menu instalasi, dan ikuti langkah demi langkah yang diminta oleh proses instalasi</p>
<p>6. Langkah pengisian database :</p>
<blockquote><p>Host : isi dengan localhost<br />
Database Name : isi dengan nama database yang telah anda buat melalui phpmyadmin ( localhost/phpmyadmin )<br />
Username : ini adalah username mysql anda<br />
Password : ini adalah password mysql anda</p></blockquote>
<p>Setelah step ini biasanya anda akan mendapatkan pesan error seperti gambar dibawah ini :</p>
<p><img src="http://i28.tinypic.com/2aak1zs.jpg" alt="gambar error" width="707" height="264" /></p>
<p>Apabila error tersebut muncul, berikut ini pemecahan masalahnya :</p>
<p>1. Edit : app/code/core/Mage/Install/Model/Installer/Config.php pada magento anda, pada line 139 config.php, anda akan menemukan :</p>
<blockquote>
<div class="codeblock"><code> <span style="color:#0000bb;">$client </span><span style="color:#007700;">= new </span><span style="color:#0000bb;">Varien_Http_Client</span><span style="color:#007700;">(</span><span style="color:#0000bb;">$url</span><span style="color:#007700;">.</span><span style="color:#0000bb;">$prefix</span><span style="color:#007700;">);</span></code></div>
</blockquote>
<div class="codeblock">ganti dengan :</div>
<blockquote>
<div class="codeblock">$client = new Varien_Http_Client($url.’index.php/’.$prefix);</div>
</blockquote>
<div class="codeblock">2. Edit : lib/Zend/Http/Response.php pada magenti anda, temukan :</div>
<blockquote>
<div class="codeblock">while (trim($body)) {<br />
if (! preg_match("/^([\da-fA-F]+)[^\r\n]*\r\n/sm", $body, $m)) {<br />
#require_once 'Zend/Http/Exception.php';<br />
throw new Zend_Http_Exception("Error parsing body - doesn't seem to be a chunked message");<br />
}</div>
</blockquote>
<div class="codeblock">ganti dengan :</div>
<blockquote>
<div class="codeblock">while (preg_match("/^([\da-fA-F]+)[^\r\n]*\r\n/sm", trim($body), $m)) {</div>
</blockquote>
<div class="codeblock">Jika kedua langkah itu telah dilakukan dengan benar, maka anda akan melanjutkan ke langkah berikutnya</div>
<div class="codeblock">7.  Selanjutnya anda diminta untuk membuat akun administrasi magento anda, perhatikan pada bagian "Encription Key", ini adalah kunci enskripsi yang memuat data-data penting yang ada didalam bagian administrasi magento anda, ini berfungsi seperti password untuk membuka data-data tersebut</div>
<p>8. Instalasi Berhasil, dan anda akan diberikan pilihan untuk melanjutkan ke admin area dan tampilan depan magento anda</p>
<p>9. Selamat Mencoba</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just now, I tried to deploy Magento, an e-commerce CMS,  version 1.0.19870.1. Although it's just for fun, I really want to try this CMS, because in a review (I forget where I read the review) Magento regarded better than osCommerce. However, in the installation process, I met this kind of error.</p>
<blockquote><p>Url "http://localhost/magento/" is not accessible</p>
<p>Error parsing body - doesn't seem to be a chunked message</p></blockquote>
<p>Where "http://localhost/magento" was my <em>Base URL</em>.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-49 aligncenter" src="http://aanugraha.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/magento-bug.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="200" /></p>
<p>Fortunately, it can be solved easily. I just had to add<em>'"index.php/'</em>" in &#60;path&#62;\magento\app\code\core\Mage\Install\Model\Installer\Config.php line 139 so that the original syntax:</p>
<blockquote><p>$client = new Varien_Http_Client($url.$prefix);</p></blockquote>
<p>will be like this:</p>
<blockquote><p>$client = new Varien_Http_Client($url.<strong>'index.php/'</strong>.$prefix);</p></blockquote>
<p>It will solve the problem.</p>
<p>(I think the developer just forget to add that part of syntax.. :p)</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I've been using <strong><a title="Magento Commerce" href="http://www.magentocommerce.com" target="_self">Magento Commerce</a></strong> since it's early early preview release back in August of 07'.  I've been a junkie ever since.  It took me about an hour playing with the framework to decide that THIS was the solution i'd been waiting for.  Not only is it open-source,  a godsend for developers,  but the ingenuity, the community, and the true MVC nature of the framework just rubbed me in all the right places.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="alignnone aligncenter" src="http://www.magentocommerce.com/images/uploads/homepage-medium.jpg" alt="Magento Screenshot" width="446" height="464" /></p>
<p>Any developer knows that the E-commerce space has sucked for some time now. Yes...<strong> sucked.</strong> Been crap. Nothing to get excited over.  And for myself... the majority of my clients are small, up and coming businesses, entrepreneurs themselves who don't have the budget for an over-priced ASP or custom solution. I like those people, I like their drive and ambition.. and I'm happy I can provide them with something to let them bang out with the big shots.</p>
<p>My most recent Magento project <a title="Kane Marie" href="http://www.kanemarie.com"><strong>www.kanemarie.com</strong></a>, is a luxury jewelry retailer.  Previously hosted by a ASP-driven box, I took on the project to really push magento to its limits. I've been happy with the results. Lot more work to go though. Magento just makes you WANT to code.   Your not stuck within a limited system like say an OScommerce, or X-cart.... trust I've was a whore for them both in the past.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://ibuildstuff.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/screenshot_km_031.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5 aligncenter" src="http://ibuildstuff.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/screenshot_km_031.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="351" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Why do I love Magento? </strong> From a design standpoint... you can literarally skin this baby anyway you wish. The Design is TRUELY seperate from the code. So CSS fanatics dig in. No need to mix PHP code within some smarty template with your xhtml. That in itself is a MAJOR improvement.</p>
<p>Another improvement is the code-base itself, the team behind magento has put alot of time into developing a smart, saavy system that can deliver results amongst a variety of e-commerce stores. Multiple language support, Multiple stores, Smart browsing via layered navigation, RSS product feeds, tagging and reviewing products, comparing products, product wishlists.... even Product Image Zoom is standard right out of the box. Impressive?  Trust me theres more once you pop the hood.</p>
<p>But I think I started this blog and made blogging about magento my first post because of the community behind this project. Like I said, I've been playing with Magento since last August during its early preview release and I've had the pleasure of not only talking to the team.. but several developers, store owners, and cool people alike within the forums and magento blog. There's a surge of support that's uncanny for a software project this early in its lifespan. I'm thrilled to say I'm apart of the community, and invite any other developers to join as well.  Ask and answer, show off your sites, and enjoy what definitely is E-commerce evolved.  I sure am.</p>
<p><strong>Go Go Magento!!</p>
<p></strong><em>Look forward to more posts on this blog about specific tips and tricks with developing e-commerce sites with magento.  Feel free to message me on the magento forum or send me a msg via Twitter as well. </em><strong></strong></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Hace meses que, muy a mi pesar, no he podido escribir ni una línea en este blog. Han sido unos meses interesantes, de mucho trabajo, robando horas al sueño. Desde hace mucho tiempo sigo la evolución de Magento, y lo he testeado desde las primeras beta, pero por fin y tras la publicación la versión definitiva (1.0), ya es posible implantar en proyecto reales este maravilloso eCommerce. Y me gustaría relatar en este blog, como ha sido la instalación y configuración de Magento y en mi primer cliente, bueno más que cliente amigo, y cómo ha desplazado a sus antiguo sistema.</p>
<p>Espero ser constante, y que la información que vaya publicando en las sucesivas entradas sea de utilidad.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Was wurde nicht gemeckert über die kommerzielle Ausrichtung von Magento und dass man "an allen Ecken" versucht Kohle zu scheffeln. Jede News über ein neues Pordukt, was man käuflich erwerben kann wurde mit Buu-Rufen zerrissen. Das war bisher das Echo auf die Strategie mit Magento Geld zu verdienen. Zumindest aus Deutschland. Oder etwa nur aus Deutschland?</p>
<p>Keine Ahnung. Was aber feststeht ist, dass Magento Businessplan zu größten Teilen aufzugehen scheint. Magento Partner kommen ständig neue hinzu. Waren es am Anfang 25 Partner, so sind es jetzt schon 36. Das ist für gerade mal zwei Wochen der Verfügbarkeit der 1.0 Vesion schon ganz schön beindruckend.</p>
<p>Auch das erste Seminar ist bereits ausgebucht. Genug Leuten war es 999 Dollar wert, so dass es jetzt keine Restplätze mehr gibt. Allerdings läuft das 19 stündige Seminar noch eine Weile, so as man sich für einen Späteren Zeitpunkt noch anmelden kann. Möglich ist aber auch, dass dieses Seminar eines der Pflichtveranstaltungen für die höheren Partnerlevel ist, und somit ist nur logisch, dass es bereits ausgebucht ist.</p>
<p>Ich denke bei Magento trennt sie die Spreu vom Weizen. Ewig rumbastelnde Hobbyshopbetreiber, denen selbst 99 Euro für das xt:commerce Forum pro Jahr zu viel waren wird man bei Magento eher seltender finden. Fraglich ist, wie hoch die Gewinne mit solch einem Hobbyshop sein können, wen man bei 99 Euro schon eine Abwägung machen muss. In der Regel macht dieser Mensch alles selber, lernt wochenlang in seiner Freizeit neben dem Hauptjob die Programierung und Einrichtung eines Onlineshops. Es ist niemand, der einen festen Betrag für eine schlüsselfertige Shoplösung bezahlen würde. Auch sind die vielfach kritisierten Performancheprobleme hauptsächlich auf günstigem  Webspace zurückzuführen. Eine ordentliche Serverinstallation wie sie die meisten professionellen Shopbetreiber ohnehin bevorzugen, wird diese Probleme eher nicht haben.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My <a href="http://offshoresoftwaredevelopment-india.blogspot.com/2007/12/magento-commerce-get-ready-for-new-open.html">previous post</a> was published before the launch of <a href="http://www.magentocommerce.com/">Magento</a> - Preview Version and was introducing the features those were going to be implemented (and now have been implemented). The preview version was released on 31st August, 2007. So it has been very long time since my last post but busy schedule of life was'nt giving me a single moment for blogging.</p>
<p>And yesterday, on 31st March, 2008, long awaited <a href="http://www.magentocommerce.com/blog/magento-10/">Production version of Magento Commerce</a> has been released.</p>
<p>Since the release of <a href="http://www.magentocommerce.com/download/release_notes#Magento%20Release%20Notes%20-%200.6.12383%20%28August%2031,%202007%29">first preview version</a>, the updates was being released frequently. With every release, Magento was shining more and more. The progress is incredible in very less time. Magento provides lot of exciting <a href="http://www.magentocommerce.com/features">features</a> like Multiple Stores and Websites, Google Checkout support, Single Page Checkout, Shipping to multiple addresses in one order and many more.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.varien.com/">Varien</a> - Magento Company  has already announced parnership and collaboration with <a href="http://www.magentocommerce.com/blog/magento-announces-partnership-with-parallels-for-one-click-installation-of/">Parallels </a>and <a href="http://www.magentocommerce.com/blog/announcing-one-click-install-of-magento-10-on-media-temples-gs-grid-service/">Media Temple</a> to deliver <a href="http://www.magentocommerce.com/" title="Magento">Magento 1.0</a> through a one-click installation wizard.</p>
<p>As a developer, the most impressive thing I found in magento is its flexibility for customization. As I have already mentioned in my <a href="http://offshoresoftwaredevelopment-india.blogspot.com/2007/12/magento-commerce-get-ready-for-new-open.html">previous post</a>, magento is developed on Zend Framework and uses MVC architecture, which makes magento easier to maintain. Apart from that, magento also provides out of the box solution for customization. That means, magento can be customized as you need without modifying a single line of code in existing core modules. Instead, you can develop your own modules with specific configuration which overwrite the behavior of existing core modules. I love this way because it provides flexibility for upgrading magento to newer version.</p>
<p>So, on this occasion it really worths if they say:<span style="font-style:italic;"> </span><br />
<blockquote><span style="font-style:italic;">Open Source eCommerce has </span><span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;">officially</span><span style="font-style:italic;"> evolved</span>.</p></blockquote>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Seit dem Relaunch der Magentocommerce Community Seite ist mir das erste mal aufgefallen, dass Magento nicht mehr das grelle pink, also magenta als Logofarbe verwendet. Die ganze Cooorporate Identity kommt jetzt in einem rot daher. Ganz ehrlich finde ich die neue Farbe ziemlich häßlich. Was kann eine Firma dazu bewegen ihre komplette CI umzukrempeln? Das bedeutet für eine zeitgemäße Firma alles, vom Kugenschreiber über Schreibblöcke, Visitenkarten, Gebäudeeinrichtung und vieles mehr neu zu besorgen. Wer schonmal in einer Firma mit CI Katalog gearbeitet hat, weiss wovon ich spreche. Mir fallen da nicht viele Gründe ein, warum jemand sein Logo häßlicher als vorher machen würde und ein paar tausend Dollar freiwillig ausgibt.</p>
<p>Vor ein paar Tagen flatterte bei <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> ein netter Brief ins Haus. Absender war die Rechtsabteilung der Deutschen Telekom aus Bonn. In dem <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/deutsche-telekom-t-mobile-demands-engadget-mobile-discontinue-using-the-color-magenta/725824/">Schreiben</a> weisst man freundlich aber bestimmt auf eine angebliche Verwechslungsgefahr zwischen T-Mobile und <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/">Engadget Mobil</a> hin. Klar, schliesslich benutzt Engadget eine ähnliche Farbe im Logo wie T-Mobile. Da kann man einen amerikanischen Tech Blog schonmal für einen Funknetzbetreiber halten. Hallo? Gehts noch? Wie bescheuert ist das bitte? Leider hat man in Bonn noch keinen wirklichen Schimmer wie man PR in Zeiten extremer Vernetzung des Internets betreibt. Engadget hätte sich also den Forderungen unterwerfen können und bei den Lesern als 'Lame' gelten können oder sich der unfairen Übermacht entgegenstellen und damit Symphatie bei seiner Besuchern und zusätzlichen Traffic ernten. Auf eine besondere niederländische Seite zum Thema <a href="http://www.freemagenta.nl/?page_id=121">Magento als Marke</a> weisst <a href="http://www.germancowboys.de/reklame/917">Germancowboys</a> hin.</p>
<p>Nun sind die beiden Ereignisse zufällig oder besteht da ein Zusammenhang? Ich glaube nur eine rechtliche Auseinandersetzung oder die Gefahr dieser könne Magenta zu einem Umbau seiner CI bewegen. Auch im Magento Forum wird diese <a href="http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/5196/">Vermutung geäußert</a>.</p>

<description><![CDATA[วันนี้ลองเล่น Magento ซึ่งก็เป็น CMS สำหรั]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>วันนี้ลองเล่น <a href="http://www.magentocommerce.com/" title="Magento">Magento</a> ซึ่งก็เป็น <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_management_system" title="CMS">CMS</a> สำหรับทำเวปเกี่ยวกับการขายของผ่านเวปไซต์ หรือหลายๆคนจะเรียกว่า "เวป e-commerce" ตัวนึง</p>
<p>หลังจากลองเล่นได้สักพัก ก็รู้สึกดี ใช้ง่าย มีการนำ javascript มาใช้งานใน CMS ได้อย่างดี ทำให้รู้สึกว่าสะดวกเวลาใช้งาน UI ก็ถือว่าสวยใช้ได้เลยทีเดียว</p>
<p>จากนั้นผมก็ลองดูว่ามีการแปล Magento เป็นภาษาไทยหรือเปล่า ปรากฏว่ามีคนแปลแล้ว เยอะซะด้วย ซึ่งผมได้ Download ไฟล์ที่ <a href="http://www.magentocommerce.com/langs/list/" title="Magento Translations">Magento Translations</a> ซึ่ง ณ ตอนที่เขียนนี้ status ของการแปลภาษาไทยสูงถึง 92.31% ซึ่งถือว่าเยอะมาก</p>
<p>หลังจากนำมาติดตั้งแล้ว ปรากฏว่าเวปตรงที่ควรจะเปลี่ยนเป็นภาษาไทยเป็นตัวยึกยือหมดเลย อ่านไม่ออก เราต้องไปเปลี่ยน Encoding ของหน้าเวปเองทุกๆครั้งที่เปิดหน้าเวป เนื่องจากว่าตัวเวป Magento ใช้ charset utf-8 แต่ว่าไฟล์ที่เปลี่ยนเป็นภาษาไทยที่ผมได้ Download มามันไม่ได้ใช้ encoding นี้น่ะสิ ทำให้ตรงไหนที่มันจะแปลเป็นภาษาไทย ก็กลายเป็นยึกยือไปหมด</p>
<p>ตอนแรกคิดว่าไม่เป็นไร เดี๋ยวไปแก้ charset ได้ที่ &#60;meta&#62; tag ให้เป็น tis-620 ให้หมด แค่นี้ก็ไม่ต้องมานั่งเปลี่ยน encoding เองเวลาเปิดเวปแล้ว แต่สุดท้ายก็ยังเกิดปัญหาอยู่ดี</p>
<p>หลายๆที่แสดงภาษาไทยได้ไม่ผิดเพี้ยน แสดงภาษาอังกฤษได้อย่างถูกต้อง แต่ก็มีบางที่ยังมีตัวยึกยืออยู่ โอ้ว... เซ็งจริงๆ</p>
<p>สุดท้ายก็มาลงเอยด้วยยอมแพ้กับ encoding ของไฟล์แปลภาษาแล้ว ไม่ใช้ encoding ของเดิมของไฟล์ที่ download มาแล้ว โดยการแปลง encoding ของไฟล์เหล่านั้นใหม่...</p>
<p>ไม่ยากเลยสำหรับการเปลี่ยน encoding เพราะว่าเคยทำมาบ่อยๆ โดยการเปลี่ยนผ่าน Command Line หรือไม่ก็เปิดไฟล์มันขึ้นมาด้วย Text Editor บางตัว จากนั้นก็เปลี่ยน encoding ใหม่ แล้วก็ Save ทับ</p>
<p>แต่คราวนี้มันมีตั้ง 42 ไฟล์ ซวยเลย ไม่เคยทำแบบว่าไฟล์เยอะขนาดนี้ จะเปิดทีละไฟล์ แก้ทีละไฟล์ก็ยังไงๆอยู่ ไม่ได้ขยันขนาดนั้น...</p>
<p>และด้วยความอ่อนหัดในการใช้คำสั่งผ่าน Command Line ของผม ก็เลยสั่งมันแบบนี้ก็แล้วกัน</p>
<p><font color="#008000">$&#62; for i in *.csv; do iconv -f TIS-620 -t UTF-8 $i &#62; "${i}".temp; done</font></p>
<p>คือการวนรอบแปลงไฟล์ทั้งหมดใน current directory ที่มีนามสกกุล csv (Comma Separate Value) จาก TIS-620 ไปเป็น UTF-8 ส่วนรู้ได้ไงว่าของเดิมมันเป็น TIS-620 อันนี้มั่วเอา ฮา.... โดยไฟล์ใหม่ที่แปลงได้จะมีชื่อเดิมแล้วตามด้วย .temp ที่ต้องทำแบบนี้เพราะถ้าให้ออกมาเป็นชื่อเดิมเลย ไฟล์ที่ไดจะกลายเป็นไฟล์ว่าง งงเลย ไม่รู้ทำไง ก็เลยตั้งชื่อใหม่ให้ซะเลย</p>
<p>จากนั้นใช้คำสั่งต่อไปนี้เพื่อลบนามสกุล .temp ของไฟล์ใหม่ออก และแน่นอน มันจะไปทับของเดิมให้เรา</p>
<p><font color="#008000">$&#62; for i in *.temp; do mv "$i" "${i/.temp}"; done</font></p>
<p>เป็นการวนรอบใช้คำสั่ง mv เปลี่ยนชื่อไฟล์ทุกไฟล์ที่ลงท้ายด้วย .temp ให้ไม่มี .temp</p>
<p>และด้วยวิธีการ<b>แปลง encoding ของไฟล์จำนวนมากๆพร้อมๆกัน</b> แบบนี้... ก็ใช้ได้แฮะ ปัญหาตัวยึกยือก็หายไป หาไม่เจออีกเลย</p>
<p>ไม่รู้ว่าวิธีที่เค้าทำๆกัน นั้นทำยังไง วิธีนี้ต้องทำสองรอบ+เขียนคำสั่งซะยาวเลย แต่ยังไงก็ตาม ได้ผลลัพธ์ที่ต้องการเป็นใช้ได้</p>
<p>จากนั้นก็นำไฟล์ที่ได้ไปใช้ดู คราวนี้สวยหรูเลยล่ะ ไม่เจอตัวยึกยืออีกแล้ว :)</p>
<p>สำหรับ Magento นั้นก็มี <span>Group:</span> <a href="http://www.magentocommerce.com/group/view/200">Thailand Developer Group</a> เหมือนกันนะ</p>
<p>มี <a href="http://www.magentocommerce.com/media/screencasts/">Magento Screencast</a> ให้ศึกษาเยอะแยะ</p>
<p>สำหรับการเข้าร่วมด้วยช่วยกันแปล Magento ให้เป็นภาษาไทยได้งามๆ ก็มาช่วยกันแปลได้ที่นี่ <a href="http://www.assembla.com/wiki/show/magento-translation">magento-translation</a></p>
<p>ปล. จริงๆมันอาจจะไม่มีปัญหาให้ต้องทำอะไรแบบนี้ แต่อาจเป็นเพราะผมไม่เคยใช้ Magento จึงไม่รู้ว่าจริงๆมันต้องทำยังไง</p>
<p>ปล.ล. ผมกำหนด db เป็น UTF-8 Unicode (utf8)</p>
