Today I learned! One can limit the entities which are searched on the admin backend – which is cool, because we are running open search (the forked elasticsearch) on the instance and if one implements a new indexer to search in it, one might forget to implement an elastic search indexer as well. In our […]

Good morning! Today is a short one. We just launched a Migration from Magento 1 to Shopware 6. It was a great and complex project, with a gorgeous customer. We migrated around 120.000 customer with around 140.000 orders. We (and by we I mean cobby – check them out!) imported and updated 15.000 products from […]

Another day another funny story. I updated a plugin from 6.4 to 6.5 and one of the requirement was to update the backend view on order save. First try: this.$root.$on On the sw-order-detail plugin the onSaveEdits method emits an event on the root node. Many events on the shopware administration are emitted on the component […]

Time for a developer story. Background A little background: We are maintaining a pretty complex system which has a couple of stores attached for different countries and languages. Because it is Magento 1 it is slowly phased out and one of the remaining countries is Ireland. One of the features is, that we are sending […]

Once upon a time I sat together with Thomas Lohner from ScaleCommerce and built a demo setup for Lizards and Pumpkins. It was great but most of the work he did, because he was (and most likely is still the docker master of the two of us). It was a great setup: We (and this […]

This will be a long post, therefore I’ll make this a „meta“ post, with a lot of stuff I heard and think about staging environments and what could be made better. Followed by a few posts how we do it. Bare metal We use docker locally, but not for our servers, neither for the stage […]

It’s always, ALWAYS!! the small thinks – ok it is not, but today it was. I searched over an hour for the problem, why our shipment method was not available. The error message comes from \Shopware\Core\Checkout\Shipping\Cart\Error\ShippingMethodBlockedError And after digging down to vendor/shopware/storefront/Resources/views/storefront/page/checkout/confirm/index.html.twig I learned about {% if page.cart.errors.blockResubmit %} and especially page.cart.errors. If you dump […]

Writing backend administration plugins is hard. Especially if your docker setup has problems running bin/watch-administration.sh. But Vue Devtools are here to help! Unfortunately they don’t run in production mode, only on the watcher. So if you are struggeling with running the watches, the next best thing is to install a chrome plugin which forces your […]

This blogpost is based on Shopware version 6.4.20.2. One of our customers had the requirement to implement a couple of additional, „special“ payment methods. Because this increased the number of payment methods in the shop to 12 in total, the customer suggested to spread the payment methods out to both sides of the checkout, using […]

We are using a plugin for JIRA called Smart Checklist for Jira. Pro. With this plugin we can have TODO-Lists on Tickets. Often it makes sense for us to not create subtasks for each little requirement, because tickets come with a lot of bureaucracy and if the ticket takes more time to finish it, then […]
