Magento Website / Store Groups / Store Views Magento is much flexible and provide us a gteat flexibility for multistore setup.But there is a common confusion between Website,Store & Store View. If you login to your Magento backend and go to System > Manage Store There you'll find the terms "Website", "Store" and "Store view". This is really confusing as soon as you start digging into the code because there those terms are mapped to "Website", "Store Group" and "Store View": Backend  Label  Website Store Store View Model Class Mage_Core_Model_Website Mage_Core_Model_Store_Group Mage_Core_Model_Store Database Table core_website core_store_group core_store To always be clear I'll stick to the terms "Website", "Store Group" and "St...

This is because of cookies. In Magento, by default cookie’s lifetime is set to 3600 (1 hour). But if the end users computer time runs ahead of server’s time, cookies will not get set for magento frontend as well as backend. To solve this, set cookie’s lifetime to 86400 (1 day) instead of 1 hour and everything will work as expected. You can also set cookie lifetime to 0, so that cookie will only expire when the user’s browser is closed. Go to: Magento backend -> Sytem -> Configuration -> Web -> Session and Cookie Management

Magento orders: states and statuses 08/11/2009 - 12:08 / Posted by Laurent Clouet Login to post comments Magento orders have different states for following their process (billed, shipped, refunded...) in the order Workflow . These states are not visible in Magento back office. In fact, it is orders statuses that are displayed in back office and not their states . Each state can have one or several statuses and a status can have only one state. By default, statuses and states have often the same name, that is why it is a little confusing. Here is the list of statuses and states available by default. State code State name Status code Status name new New pending Pending pending_payment Pending Payment pending_paypal pending_amazon_asp Pending PayPal Pending Amazon Simple Pay processing Processing processing Processing complete Complete complete ...

 Programming Mistakes Improper Input Validation Ensure that your input is valid. If you're expecting a number, it shouldn't contain letters. Nor should the price of a new car be allowed to be a dollar. Incorrect input validation can lead to vulnerabilities when attackers can modify their inputs in unexpected ways. Many of today's most common vulnerabilities can be eliminated, or at least reduced, with strict input validation. Improper Encoding or Escaping of Output Insufficient output encoding is at the root of most injection-based attacks. An attacker can modify the commands that you intend to send to other components, possibly leading to a complete compromise of your application - not to mention exposing the other components to exploits that the attacker would not be able to launch directly. When your program generates outputs to other components in the form of structured messages such as queries or requests, be sure to separate control information a...
