My new website just recently launched, where you can find churches in Minneapolis MN or any city in the united states. We’re busy working on getting churches to sign up for a free account and provide details about themselves such as their beliefs, programs, photos, size, denomination, etc. This will allow church seekers to easily find local churches that will meet their needs.

Google maps Infobox missing in IE

Posted by nick on February 5, 2012 at 1:07 pm

I used the infobox plugin for custom infoboxes and they wouldn’t appear with IE, but it did work fine with all other browsers. At first I thought it was a z-index issue, but the solution was that you had to include the “boxStyle” property and set the opacity to 1. Apparently IE was setting the opacity of the infobox to zero by default.

var myOptions = {
	disableAutoPan: false
	,pixelOffset: new google.maps.Size(-140, -165)
	,closeBoxMargin: "7px"
	,boxStyle: {opacity: 1}
	,infoBoxClearance: new google.maps.Size(1, 1)
	,isHidden: false
	,pane: "floatPane"
	,enableEventPropagation: false
};
 
//set info 
infoWindow = new InfoBox(myOptions);

Magento cannot log into admin locally

Posted by nick on February 4, 2012 at 6:19 pm

I manually installed an existing live site locally on my computer and was unable to log into the admin backend. when I would click the login button, I wouldn’t get an “invalid login” message or anything b/c it was correct. The URL would change to admin/index/index/key/xxxx and would just display the login form again.

I worked at it for hours and tried all the code changes in the Session object to no avail. I finally installed a fresh copy of magento locally and used their installer and I was able to log in. I noticed it was using the file system for sessions while the other existing site was using the database because it was being load balanced. I changed it to use the filesystem and that fixed the problem! Hope this will save somebody the many hours I spent on it.

Zend Studio Magento Building Workspace Error

0
Posted by nick on January 30, 2012 at 5:15 pm

I encountered a very large project involving Magento and added it as a project to my zend studio. Zend studio would frequently hang with an error related to building workspace. As I suspected, the problem was related to running out of memory as this project is huge. I increased the memory available to Zend Studio with the below solution.

In the Zend Studio interface it is possible to monitor how much Java heap space is used by the application. To do so, enable the option Show heap status in the Zend Studio Preferences by going to Window | Preferences | General (in MacOS X go to Zend Studio | Preferences | General). The heap status now appears in the application’s status bar. If you see that you quickly run out of memory (for example during a project build) you should consider increasing the default Java heap size. This can be done in the file ZendStudio.ini located in the Zend Studio installation path. Search for the –Xms and –Xmx parameters:

Xms – The initial amount of memory to allocate for Java heap space.
Xmx – The maximal amount of memory that is allowed to be used for Java heap space.

These values can be increased, but be aware that you are limited by the physical RAM of the system. Even for very complicated projects 512M Xms and 1024M Xmx should be enough.
