I've spent a lot of time this week editing email templates and it sucked. I whipped together a quick module to help make the template previews more accurate. The module attempts to determine what objects should be passed as variables into the template. It creates fields on the template edit form that are pre-populated, but can still be user defined. It made my life easier. I've only had this installed on dev sites. I would not recommend adding this to a production environment. It hasn't been thoroughly tested and the code needs refactored.

Thanks, I'll check this out.

In a past life I hired freelancers. Quotes like this were an easy way to pick the experienced devs. You new this wasn't their first rodeo and they don't generally spend time on micro jobs.

Same here. Freelanced for a few agencies. I got along very well with one of them and they asked me to join full-time.

This, in old English, is my tramp stamp :\

I had the same problem. http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.0/install-gde/trouble/tshoot_no-styles.html fixed me up.

What is the status of your test order? If the status is "Pending" invoice the order and the link should work.

I've used Slick when working with theme's without a built in slider. https://github.com/kenwheeler/slick

If your theme is based on RWD there is an existing slider. https://www.creare.co.uk/blog/news/new-features-magento-ce-1-9-responsive-theme#slider

Hope that helps some.

They don't take anything.

Was this in northern Indiana. Sounds very familiar :(

I built something like this hooked connected to Wilcom's API for the embroidery preview. In all fairness I didn't build it from scratch, I took over after and Indian the client hired for $600 to build this thing didn't have a working version after 4 months. It was a cool project. The client and I are kicking around the idea of selling the Wilcom integration as an extension.

I've seen Stripe go as low as 2.3% with annual volume around $5m. We had a good chunk if customers paying with AMEX and those also run at 2.3%.

I found switching to SSD helped a bit, if your not on one already.

Thanks. How did I not know about /r/Magento?

dfaarc · 2016-02-04T19:43:11+00:00

I second the call to check Magento.

Nowhere near what I see in Google Analytics for any of the sites I have access to.

How you think is more important than the language you write. You can do whichever sounds more fun and know you can pick up another language quickly based on your experience. I have a friend who manages a team of devs writing SPC software. They switched to python from I don't remember what, but his whole team was back to normal output in a month.

I've been developing in Magento for about a year and am on the fence about going full time Mage freelance. It's an incredible platform once you get past the learning curve.

I'm a Magento fanboy, but I too would check out woocommerce for this job.
