Overview

I always forget the steps, but it's pretty simple:

Steps:

• Download the IonCube Loaders
• Check your PHP version to find which IonCube loader you should use
• Check your PHP configuration for the extension_dir
• Copy the IonCube Loader into the PHP extension directory

Overview

Recently had a client that wanted to customize the layout for a category landing page so that the category's title and description would be displayed above the layered navigation and product grid — essentially creating a full-width section above the left sidebar and main content areas.

NOTE: For reference, this is based off the blog post from Collaboration133.com's Magento - Add Custom Structural Block Reference.

Custom Module (My_LayoutMods)

I created a custom module to help organize and identify that there are some custom modifications to layout templates. Not saying you have to, but it may be easier for other's (or your future self) to recognize and find what customizations were done (and hopefully why).

Cherry pick multiple commits from a remote or upstream branch into your local branch.

Saw this from a comment on an answer on Stack Overflow

git fetch upstream
git cherry-pick A^..B

UPDATE #2:

Added the getApiEndpoint() method and overrode the uspsSubmitRequest() method in the Helper/Data.php. Basically cheating like crazy to get the domain name and it's IP address so our server will use that instead of the humanized domain name. This is a bandaid approach specific to our client and their internal DNS issues, so I wouldn't suggest using that getApiEndpoint() method unless absolutely necessary.

We've had to patch this module several times for different projects because it is a useful module, just doesn't do version comparison correctly which can cause bugs. We submitted our code changes to MageParts developers and documented the errors we were experiencing with their module on a Magento EE 1.12.0.2 installation, but they have yet to incorporate our bug fixes — that's why I feel the need to document what the necessary changes are to be made to the module so that it works as expected.

This code is pulled from production code, so local package names have been replaced with "MYMOD" (or mymod_ for short codes or XML configuration files)

Pre-requisites:

• Already have a successfully installed MageParts ReorderProduct module in the app/code/community directory
• Have some familiarity with PHP and Magento application structure
