In a situation where you want Magento to display out of stock product options of a configurable products, overriding getAllowProducts() function in Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_View_Type_Configurable is where you should be looking, change if ($product->isSaleable()) { $products[] = $product; } to $products[] = $product; Bingo!!!

Ever started a long process running that you thought wouldn’t take long and then thought “I should have run that in screen”? Well, thanks to an ingenious programmer, you can actually do that! The app is called reptyr, is at https://github.com/nelhage/reptyr and there’s a ubuntu ppa here Note: I compiled from scratch as the ppa didn’t seem to work for me. So, all you need to do is open a terminal (press Ctrl-Z to stop the task if you only have one and don’t want to open a new one), run screen (or tmux etc) and type “reptyr 1234” where 1234 is the process id (pid) of the program to pull to your current terminal.

If you are running multi site Magento with different currencies and are finding that the sales reports on the stores that don’t use the Magento default currency all show zero this probably means the currency conversion rates have not been configured. Due to the way Magento orders work existing orders will not have there conversion rate updated. There is no way to do this from the admin, the only real option is to update the orders directly in the database.

So, this is documented in the manual, but isn’t obvious in any menu :- To uppercase a selection, press Control+U then U. To lowercase a selection, press Control+U then L. and to reverse case in the selection (for when you have typed a whole line of code without checking your caps lock!), press Control+U then S. Really useful but not well known.
