While going through the study guide for the Magento Developer Exam, I’ve been learning a few interesting details that are squirreled away in the Magento code, but can be useful in day to day Magento development.
For example, while going through the section on Module loading, it is revealed that we can easily disable all modules living in the local (app/code/local) namespace by editing app/etc/local.xml
and setting the disable_local_modules
node to true
:
<config>
<global>
...
<disable_local_modules>true</disable_local_modules>
...
</global>
...
</config>
