Comments 1 comment

Introduction This article is about problems that can occur with Magento cronjobs. The standard way to configure crontab for Magento 1 has it’s limits.

Workaround for Magento 2 Issue #5418 – Product Grid does not work after Import

Workaround for Magento 2 Issue #5418 – Product Grid does not work after Import

Comments 0 Comment

The Magento 2 Importer is a simple way to import and update Product Data and many more. Since July 2016, an Import will throw an Exception at the Product Grid. Today, I added a small script as a Workaround, which I want to share. It is actually simple and based on the Yonn-Trimoreau‘s SQL Query. I setup a bashscript, which enters the working dir and executes the query via n98-magerun2. After that, I added a CronJob to call the Script every…

How to add alternative HTTP headers to Magento 2?

Comments 2 comments

If you have more than one frontend server running in your business, it’s needed to load balance the traffic between the nodes. In this case we have a new instance between the browser and the web-server. Often it’s a system like HAProxy or Varnish.

Recap Magento 1 In Magento 1 you had to change the column increment_prefix  in the table eav_entity_store . I am sure there are modules out there that let you achieve that in convenient way.

Creating Configurable Products

Comments 1 comment

Basically there are different ways for creating Configurable Products in Magento2 (like in Magento1).
