Using the WooCommerce REST API – Introduction February 21 2014
This is post #1 of 2 in the series “For Developers: Using the WooCommerce REST API” My favorite feature from the recent WooCommerce 2.1 release is the REST API. I may be a bit biased, since it was my core contribution during the 2.1 release cycle, but it lays important groundwork. A platform like WooCommerce is strongest when shop data can be pushed or pulled from other systems, like a Keep Reading…

Down the Rabbit Hole: WordPress and Timezones August 21 2013
“Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.” ― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland A few months ago, we were working on the WooCommerce Pre-Orders extension and had to think about how we wanted to store the release date & time. Like most concepts that look simple and easy at first, this turned out to be somewhat complex. Throughout development, I ended up learning quite a Keep Reading…

Translating a WordPress Plugin on the Command Line Step by Step March 01 2013
The purpose of this article is to provide a quick and easy to follow step-by-step guide to extracting text strings from a WordPress plugin for translation from the command line. Although this is documented in the codex: I18N for WordPress Developers and Translating WordPress, those articles are somewhat lengthy and the first time I was asked to internationalize a plugin it took me some time to find the actual steps Keep Reading…

Writing a Plugin That Can Be Localized by WPML August 10 2012
Writing a custom plugin that can be translated by WPML (WordPress Multilingual) using .mo files is actually quite simple once you figure out how to generate the .mo file. My first attempt to internationalize my plugin with WPML however was less than successful, WPML would not localize my plugins text strings. I knew my .mo file was correct, and could be loaded by WordPress because when I set WPLANG to Keep Reading…

How to Set Up an SSH Tunnel With PuTTY July 26 2012

So I decided to spell it out step-by-step, for people like me who need that extra little bit of help. Step Keep Reading…

Configure Magento Products by URL April 07 2012
Being able to link to a configurable product page with particular product options configured is clearly a valuable feature to have in an ecommerce platform. Both to satisfy one of the primary goals of ecommerce: reducing friction in the sales process (by having a product configured and ready for purchase for a visitor), and to meet requirements of services like Google Checkout by providing unique URLs to pre-configured products, are Keep Reading…

Magento/WordPress Development and Deployment March 21 2012
First off, this post owes a debt of gratitude to Ashley Schroder and Colin Mollenhour, without whom it would not exist. The goal of this article is to describe a development environment configuration that’s ideally suited for developing and deploying version controlled plugin/extension code, that is plugged in to a much larger system codebase. This is precisely the situation when developing extensions/override code for Magento, or plugins for WordPress and Keep Reading…

Date Range Picker Similar to Google Analytics March 14 2012
I’ve always loved the calendar date range selector in Google Analytics, it’s extremely user-friendly for the task of selecting a range of dates; much more so than the typical dual input boxes with independent calendars. There are a few options out there for replicating the Google Analytics range picker, however I couldn’t seem to find any that offered the functionality, looks, and ease of use right out of the box.

How to Exclude Traffic From Google Analytics in Magento January 29 2012
The Problem There are two typical ways of stopping your internal requests from appearing in and skewing your Google Analytics metrics. Both are outlined in this article from Google, but they boil down to two options: Filter by IP Filter by cookie Both are ok choices, but the first becomes unmanageable without a static IP, and doesn’t fit the laptop-based mobile development style that I prefer; and the second relies Keep Reading…
