2017-04-18 Christian Münch Comments 2 comments

It was the second time that I attended the Magento Imagine. Last year the conference was characterized by the motto „We are Magento“. This year the word „E-Commerce Platform“ stays in my mind. Before I start my summary of the conference, I would like to tell a little bit about our trip … We startet our #RoadToImagine from Frankfurt/Main. After a 9h flight we (Maria, Ralf, Alex and me) arrived in Houston (Texas). There we had time to grab some pizzas after a…

Use EavSetup to Import Attributes

2017-03-09 Christian Walter Comments 3 comments

I recently had the issue that I needed to use the \Magento\Eav\Setup\EavSetup outside the setup-context. To be a bit more concrete, I wanted to import attribute-sets, attributes and attribute-options without using an install-script. My first idea was in magento2 you can easily inject the ‘EavSetup’ via constructor injection and then use it in your own class First try So I injected into my class which worked out well in the development-mode. /** * SomeAttribute constructor. * * @param \Some\Own\AttributeContext $context *…

Use Swagger to generate a full functional Magento API Client

2017-03-07 Christian Münch Comments 2 comments

Magento 2 comes with a nice swagger schema which describes the Webapi. The Magento guys were very clever to choose swagger. It not only comes with a schema, but moreover it is a complete interactive API client as well. A swagger schema is a JSON document to formalize the REST API. Formalized documents have the big advantage that you can process the data with a machine. One idea I had was to create a PHP API for the Magento 2 API. Fortunately the swagger…

Nice to know: Install N98-Magerun via Composer

2017-03-03 Tom Klingenberg Comments 0 Comment

There is a so far merely undocumented installation procedure for Magerun that is extremely handy in project configurations. You just require Magerun within the Magento project and you can then execute it from the vendor’s bin folder: $ composer require n98/magerun2 […] $ ./vendor/bin/n98-magerun2 –version n98-magerun2 version 1.3.2 by netz98 GmbH Afterwards if you commit the composer.json and composer.lock files it is a take-away for the whole team. So it is regardless whether you’re running it locally, inside a docker…

Cronjob performance optimization: Magento 1 vs. Magento 2

2017-02-13 Alexander Dite 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. The more custom cronjobs a Magento system has, the more probable the system will face problems considering cronjobs. The most common issues are: Indexer Cronjob (Magento Enterprise malways mode) takes longer than usual so that other cronjobs (mdefault mode) are skipped (not executed) for the time the indexer runs Some of the cronjobs in mdefault scope take a…

2017-01-23 David Lambauer 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…
