By default prestashop will not send confirmation email order to sales or admin email. So we need to set first before we can get confirmation email order using prestashop. We know prestashop is quit complex CMS for ecommerce, that make setting much harder than others CMS.

I use this procedure to get confirmation email order send to sales or admin email :

1. Install Maill Alerts by Prestashop Module, and then configure. Place target confirmation email address on Send to these e-mail addresses
2. Go to Employess > Contacts, set email for Customer Service
3. Go to Preferences > E-mail, set email to Customer Service

By using that procedure my prestashop now can send confirmation email order to sales or admin email.

For some case where the visitor cannot save cookie, we need to put it on the url. This is happen on some browser also that cannot save cookie, like i-mode in japan. It will be a big task to add PHPSESSID to all pages URL, so we can enable PHPSESSID using php script setting.


ini_set('session.use_cookies', 0);
ini_set('session.use_only_cookies', 0);
ini_set('session.use_trans_sid', 1);
ini_set('session.name', 'PHPSESSID');
ini_set('url_rewriter.tags', 'a=href,area=href,frame=src,input=src,form=,fieldset=');

I think many cakephp programmer will get confuse when they want to save column/field on table with mysql function such as NOW(), CURDATE(), etc, We cannot use simple way of the saveField method or save method on model object.

This code will not save the data field into current date time on mysql.

$this->ModelName->saveField('date_field', 'NOW()');

or

$data['ModelName']['id'] = 1;
$data['ModelName']['date_field'] = 'NOW()';
$this->ModelName->save($data);

It will not work as you want. Because cakephp will ada quote on the value.

I found something strange on cakephp when i create form using FormHelper, a strange id appear on the action url. So i have this code on my view

<?php echo $form->create('Evoucher', array('url' => array('controller' => 'gift_vouchers', 'action' => 'buy', $giftVoucher['GiftVoucher']['amount'])));?>

It is generated a form tag with strange id added on action url. Something like this

<form id="EvoucherBuyForm" method="post" action="/gift_vouchers/buy/2/20" accept-charset="utf-8">

After exploration, i found the problem was on the controller action for buy. I have set id for the data variable

$this->data['Evoucher']['id'] = 2;

So after taking out this line, i change it into

$this->Evoucher->id = 2;

And cakephp can generate correct action url for the form tag

<form id="EvoucherBuyForm" method="post" action="/gift_vouchers/buy/20" accept-charset="utf-8">

I hope this tutorial help you. Thanks for visiting our blog

Starting from wordpress 2.5 and above, you cannot remove generated meta tag wordpress version through your template. On prior version, it is simple by comment the line for showing wordpress version on your template.

<meta name="generator" content="WordPress <?php bloginfo('version'); ?>" />

WordPress 2.5 and above, the version is moved into the core of the wordpress. So it will automatically generate metatag generate, such as

<meta name="generator" content="WordPress 3.0" />

If you want to remove this generated line, there are some ways :

1. Login to administration wordpress page, and then go to Appearance > Themes, And then Editor. Open functions.php, Add this line before the closing ?> tag
   remove_action('wp_head', 'wp_generator');
2. Or use this plugin. Install on plugins area.

If you run redirect function on cakephp 1.1, don’t forget to add exit() function after redirect sintax. This thing can make security hole that confusing you. The purpose of adding exit() function after redirect sintax is to avoid php running others code after redirect function.

$this->redirect('controller/action');
exit();

However cakephp 1.2 give you default exit after redirect. The complete sintax for redirect on cakephp 1.2 is

$this->redirect('controller/action', null, true);

which the third parameter define exit = true, means terminate the script. second parameter is for setting exit status, for example 404, etc. Defaultly you only need to write

$this->redirect('controller/action');
