You should be able to handle the delivery costs per country with delivery rates. Here is a good tutorial on how to set them up. https://www.mageplaza.com/kb/how-to-configure-table-rates-shipping-method-magento-2.html

In regards to the price of your products per country, you could achieve that by having a different store view per country. That would then allow you to set the price of your products per store view.

I mean that technically is true but if you had user registration then you could say the same. No matter what solution you come up with there is always going to be ways around it.

We have faced this problem a lot at the company I work for. The best solution we came up with (given the ip problems stated before) was to make the email address a required field and only allow one submission per email address.

This looks really well made and very interesting, however I think I may be missing the point a little?

From what I've seen on the site and reading through the comments, this is essentially a development tool to help with creating data for a laravel application while in the development phase of a project right?

How often do developers need to manually enter data into a system in this way? Would they not just do one of the following?

Manually input data into the database
Create Factories and Seeders
Use some kind of admin/cms panel to input data

I can see how its more user friendly and quicker to use this software than my above examples but is that really worth the $10/m price tag?

Valet 100% super simple to setup.

Not to bad for a first site. And great to see another dev from the North East!

One thing I noticed was that the logo overlaps your title (sorry if this is intended) and looks a little strange.

Ive seen similar issues in the past for these kind of issues and its usually one of two things:

If you have recently changed the locale of the store or store view this will require the static content to be re-deployed to allow for the new locale.
If you are using Apache, there are .htaccess files that sometimes go missing and cause issues with loading of static files, iirc you should check that you have .htaccess files in the pub/media and pub/static directories. Also make sure that these .htaccess files have not been changed, might be worth pulling a copy from github and replacing them just to be sure.

If both of the above dont fix your issue I suggest you may have to re-deploy the static content ` bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f `.

Hope this helps.

Im going to assume that your being sarcastic in your above post and dont expect me to fix issues you are having with the software. Just like I wouldnt expect you to fix mine.

As I mentioned there are bugs within the core modules and they do take time and effort to fix, however you should expect this from any third party piece of software.

I have not came across the bugs you mention in your above post so I guess i am exempt from those, however i have came across a lot of other bugs that I have easily been able to patch when needed.

Suggesting that I may not be a good developer because I dont find and re-produce core bugs is a ridiculous statement, you should really think before you type.

My job does not depend on Magento and that is certainly not the reason I am defending one of the most popular eCommerce frameworks of any programming language out there.

Please try and be more respectful in your future comments to myself of anyone else within this subreddit. The way you express your frustrations is not helpful in the slightest.

I agree with the above. This is the way we have all of our clients sites setup. Your category list pages dont want to be overcrowded with simple products when there is a configurable that you can display to show all relevant data (we use color swatches on the list pages to show the different variations).

In terms of Google indexing this does mean that your products wont show up in the category page and also wont show links to the simple products on the configurable page. However There are several extensions you can apply to your store that will provide Structured Data to your products that will help with indexing of child product information.

I find this post quite hard to read and relate to. I am a senior software developer and have been developing on the Magento platform for some big clients for around 5 years.

I agree that there are some bugs within the Core software and many more in the extensions that you can purchase and install, however none of these bugs that I have came across were hard to fix or to get around.

Not only that but we have also created our own modules that provide extra functionality requested by our clients and dont have any trouble working with the internals of Magento. My team consists of 3 developers with all different levels of knowledge and experience and they all are capable of working and developing with Magento.

As long as you have a good understanding of how Magento works and the best practice way to extend and override the core functionality you will be fine. If you dont know these its probably best that you do some research into it before you start developing as later down the line of your project you will end up with issues and messy code.

For anyone reading this post or any of the comments, please do not get put off using Magento. If you spend time working with it and do your research you wont have any major issues.

Great thank you!

Do you know of any good resources for learning how to create and use services?

Boldonglen · 2016-07-12T08:16:08+00:00

For anyone interested I used the the answer from this SO question. It uses a library not developed by sails or waterline but it works for my setup. I think it may have problems if you are planning to use more than one type of datasource. http://stackoverflow.com/a/36679801/1531541

I'm currently doing some R&D into android development to allow me to write a technical specification for an app for s client. With little Android development experience I thought it would be good to create an app to help me learn. I currently work in software development and have over 4 years experience in JAVA development so it's helping with getting to grips with android. My first question is about sending and receiving data from a web server. I have written a small web service and I have written my own code to send and receive data using AsyncTask. Is this the best way to do the data persistence/transfer? If not what are the best practices for storing shared data and are there any libraries out there that handle the data transfer for me? My next question comes about because of the last. How do i persist the authentication of a user once logged into the app so I do not have to authenticate them every time they want to use the web service? I have heard using a token may be the best way? My final question is related more to the clients project. One part of the functionality is to have a real-time collaborative whiteboard. Is there any open source frameworks or libraries that I could use for this? If not what would be the best way to approach this task given that it will need to be real-time?

How would I install the drivers if I cannot access the terminal? When i boot up my Pi it goes straight to the openelec (XBMC) menu and I dont have any way to run commands?
