Frustrated by Magento? Then you’ll love Commerce Bug, the must have debugging extension for anyone using Magento. Whether you’re just starting out or you’re a seasoned pro, Commerce Bug will save you and your team hours everyday. Grab a copy and start working with Magento instead of against it.

Updated for Magento 2! No Frills Magento Layout is the only Magento front end book you'll ever need. Get your copy today!

  1. A quick tip and link on the weird (in PHP land) way the Magento image helpers rely on casting for basic functionality.

  2. Another link to a Stack Overflow answer covering the basics of troubleshooting a Layout Update gone awry.

  3. A brief discussion on the order of execution in Layout XML files. If you think local.xml always wins you need to read this.

  4. Stack Overflow represent! This time it’s a link on the basics of Block caching, and how it might interfere with code reuse.

  5. Closing this batch out, a capture of Vinai Kopp’s 4 tweet review of the new Resource Model nodes in Magento 1.6.
