If you love template path hints in Magento for quickly figuring out which template file or block you need to edit or override and have a requirement for some admin side coding, you are going to love this.

If you are struggling to understand why you are getting a popup on the Magento checkout with the simple message “undefined” then here is what you need to do. Use Fire Fox and install the extension Firebug Switch Firebug on and go to the console tab Hit the place order button and you will see the HTML response to the AJAX request (how did we cope with AJAX before Firebug!!) You should then see a meaningful error message telling you what is causing the problem and hopefully help you to fix it.

If you are working on a theme, you may find that there are hard coded links dotted all over the place. This can make testing a site offline (and thereby not on the same URL) a bit of a pain. Here is a quick fix for you: Remove all hard coded links from the CMS section: update cms_block set content = replace(content, 'http://www.domain.com/', '{{store url=''}}'); update cms_page set content = replace(content, 'http://www.domain.com/', '{{store url=''}}'); Remove all hard coded links from the theme files.
