How come Internet explorer (8 and below) doesn't load the last checkout step?

Brent W Peterson, Magento Evangelist

Can you try this in your header

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7" />

This tells Internet Explorer 8 to display your page in IE7 emulation mode.

This meta tag should be entered immediately after the

<head>

tag to run correctly

How to edit html layout for magneto go?

I'm trying to change the layout of the store theme/template by moving elements of the navigation and header around, and altering the divs around them so I can style according to my brand in the CSS. I'm using Magneto Go but cannot see any way of doing this. Using static blocks and frontend apps only seems to work within the html layout of the current them. Is there anyway to do this on Magneto Go??

Why should I update Magento from 1.4.2.0 to 1.6.0.0?

Brent W Peterson, Magento Evangelist

I agree with Rocketweb, one thing I would add is that you don't want to find your self to far behind. 1.6.1 is out so I would upgrade to that now, the upgrade path gets more complicated as new versions come out.

I would NEVER upgrade a live site, always upgrade on a test box first!

TopicQuestion

Magento for large-scale e-commerce: A good or bad choice?

Good afternoon,

I'm looking at all the notable CMSs and web-frameworks across any language (C++, Ruby, Python, Perl, .NET, PHP), for an e-commerce solution which suits my project.

Basically I'm creating an e-commerce store of e-commerce stores. So for all e-commerce stores integrated with this system, there is a shared user database and shopping cart integrated with PayPal (but preferably multiple payment gateways).

Would Magento be a good choice for developing this project?

i.e. are there many predone components for this kind of thing which can be utilised to speedup development time?

Also, is Magento scalable enough for a system of this sort, or should I pick a competitor?

Thanks for all suggestions,

Alec Taylor

Why my main tabs are not redirecting correctly after upgrade?

Brent W Peterson, Magento Evangelist

Most likely your cache was not cleared after your upgrade. I recommend rm -rf var/cache/* and var/session/* (If you are running EE you should also remove your Full Page Cache files)

What Steps do you Take to Upgrade your Magento System(s)?

Brent W Peterson, Magento Evangelist

1) I have started a WIKI on the basic upgrade here.
http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/1_-_installation_and_configuration/manual_upgrade_using_fresh_install_and_original_database

2) Since are a number of ways to upgrade (Connect, SSH, FTP, etc) and multiply that by the amount of users, the different install enviroments and the complexity of Magento you are left with a lot of variables.

You can reference the user guilde here http://www.magentocommerce.com/download by clicking on the How to get started tab

The short answer is it depends on what version you are upgrading from and to, the size of your database, your installation enviroment.

How do I access Magento Connect if the admin theme has disabled it?

For some reason the creator of our Magento admin theme has decided it would be a good idea to hide Magento Connect from the admin.

I need to update one of the existing plugins (in this case Inchoo Featured Products) and it appears the only way to do this is via Magento Connect system.

Obviously I have full admin access, just no idea what the url should be to get to the connect feature.
