  • If you missed anything after customising all email templates in Magento

    To double check if you missed anything after customising all email templates in Magento, you can do a File Search on Selected resources (app/locale/(locale_code)/template/email in eclipse with these keywords:

    • (555) 555-0123
    • magento
    • demo

    By the way, eclipse can do Replace on Selected resources, which is an equivalent tool of File & Replace in Folder using Notepad++. I am sure a single linux command can also do the job but I can’t remember the syntax. Let’s just use eclipse, straight forward.

  • Eclipse XML formatter

    Magento 有个我早就知道的 bug:读入 module config.xml 时,class name 必须在和 xml opening tag & closing tag 写在一行上,而且中间不能有 white space。这个 bug 直到最近的 Magento 1.4.0.1 都还有,可能 Magento 认为这不重要,重要的是如何书写 config.xml。所以我写 config.xml 一直都很小心。

    <catalog>
    	<rewrite>
    		<convert_adapter_category>MyNamespace_MyModule_Model_Eav_Convert_Adapter_Category</convert_adapter_category>
    	</rewrite>
    </catalog>
    

    但最近一次写完了 config.xml 下意识地按了 Ctrl + Shift + F 格式化了 config.xml,而这一行很长,eclipse XML formatter 自动把它换行书写了,造成 Magento 无法正确读入 class name。页面出不来了,什么原因?!我花了差不多一天时间才找到原因,一看到是这个原因,我又非常地懊恼——都是因为我懒,没有好好设置 eclipse 为我所用。

    于是亡羊补牢,我花了几分钟找到设置所在,把 Line width 设定一个足够大的数字就不怕它换行了。Aptana plugin 也带一个 Aptana XML Editor,另有地方设置,这里不多说了。
