  • Setting up Magento 2.2.3 on Valet+ (requires MacOS)

    Wondering what is Valet+? It is a development environment for MacOS. If you have previously used Vagrant and/or Docker, I think you would just love Valet+. Valet+ is very easy yet fast development environment, as it doesn’t require you to edit /etc/hosts, vhosts, mysql, etc.. For more information on Valet+ and how it differs with Valet, please read this: https://github.com/weprovide/valet-plus/blob/master/readme.md

    Let me know in comments section which one you prefer out of these 3?

    Okay so let’s come to topic and start preparing to install Valet and Magento.

    1.) Install Homebrew if you do not have it already on your Mac

    2.) Let’s install PHP 7.1

    brew install homebrew/php/php71

    If you already have php70, you can unlink it before running above command:

    brew unlink php70

    {code}

    Kalpeshs-MBP:~ kalpesh$ brew install php71

    ✩✩✩✩ Extensions ✩✩✩✩

    If you are having issues with custom extension compiling, ensure that you are using the brew version, by placing /usr/local/bin before /usr/sbin in your PATH:

    PATH=”/usr/local/bin:$PATH”

    PHP71 Extensions will always be compiled against this PHP. Please install them using –without-homebrew-php to enable compiling against system PHP.

    ✩✩✩✩ PHP CLI ✩✩✩✩

    If you wish to swap the PHP you use on the command line, you should add the following to ~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, ~/.profile or your shell’s equivalent configuration file:
    export PATH=”$(brew –prefix homebrew/php/php71)/bin:$PATH”

    ✩✩✩✩ FPM ✩✩✩✩

    To launch php-fpm on startup:
    mkdir -p ~/Library/LaunchAgents
    cp /usr/local/opt/php71/homebrew.mxcl.php71.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/
    launchctl load -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.php71.plist

    The control script is located at /usr/local/opt/php71/sbin/php71-fpm

    OS X 10.8 and newer come with php-fpm pre-installed, to ensure you are using the brew version you need to make sure /usr/local/sbin is before /usr/sbin in your PATH:

    PATH=”/usr/local/sbin:$PATH”

    You may also need to edit the plist to use the correct “UserName”.

    Please note that the plist was called ‘homebrew-php.josegonzalez.php71.plist’ in old versions of this formula.

    With the release of macOS Sierra the Apache module is now not built by default. If you want to build it on your system you have to install php with the –with-httpd option. See brew options php71 for more details.

    By 31st March 2018 we will deprecate and archive the PHP tap.
    Some of the formulae will be migrated to homebrew-core.

    For more details, see https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-php/issues/4721

    To have launchd start homebrew/php/php71 now and restart at login:
    brew services start homebrew/php/php71

  • Redirect request with POST data using .htaccess

    By default, if you want to redirect request with POST data, browser redirects it via GET with 302 redirect. This also drops all the POST data associated with the request. Browser does this as a precaution to prevent any unintentional re-submitting of POST transaction.

    But what if you want to redirect anyway POST request with it’s data? In HTTP 1.1, there is a status code for this. Status code 307 indicates that the request should be repeated with the same HTTP method and data. So your POST request will be repeated along with it’s data if you use this status code.

    From https://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html,
    If the 307 status code is received in response to a request other than GET or HEAD, the user agent MUST NOT automatically redirect the request unless it can be confirmed by the user, since this might change the conditions under which the request was issued.

    I did this in one of the website to redirect HTTP request to HTTPS for a specific page.

    {code}RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !443
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} string_to_match_in_url
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} POST
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [L,R=307]{/code}

    For this to work, you need to have mod_rewrite enabled on the server. The first RewriteCond checks if the request is NOT coming as HTTPS, otherwise it will go in endless loop. If yes, the second RewriteCond checks if the URL contains a string we are looking for. Then if that URL is being submitted as POST method. If everything matches, then we redirect the request using HTTPS secure protocol retaining the POST method and the associated data.

  • Magento 2 upgrade from 2.0.* to latest version using composer via CLI

    In this post I will show you how to upgrade Magento 2.0.5 (2.0.*) to 2.1.6 which is latest CE version as of today. We will do it using composer via server command-line interface. It is recommended to take code and DB backup and do this upgrade on your development/stage server first.

    Magento 2 comes with Web Setup Wizard (under Admin > System) where you can upgrade from admin panel itself, but for some reason it was always failing for me at Readiness Check’s Component Dependency check.

    Step 1.) Edit the composer.json which should be located at the root of your store. Change version and magento/product-community-edition from 2.0.* (whatever you have currently) to 2.1.6 or any latest version you wish to upgrade to. Also change sample data versions from 100.0.* to 100.1.*
    {code}{
    “name”: “magento/project-community-edition”,
    “description”: “eCommerce Platform for Growth (Community Edition)”,
    “type”: “project”,
    “version”: “2.1.6”,
    “require”: {
    “magento/product-community-edition”: “2.1.6”,
    “composer/composer”: “@alpha”,
    “magento/module-bundle-sample-data”: “100.1.*”,
    “magento/module-theme-sample-data”: “100.1.*”,
    “magento/module-widget-sample-data”: “100.1.*”,
    “magento/module-catalog-sample-data”: “100.1.*”,
    “magento/module-customer-sample-data”: “100.1.*”,
    “magento/module-cms-sample-data”: “100.1.*”,
    “magento/module-tax-sample-data”: “100.1.*”,
    “magento/module-review-sample-data”: “100.1.*”,
    “magento/module-catalog-rule-sample-data”: “100.1.*”,
    “magento/module-sales-rule-sample-data”: “100.1.*”,
    “magento/module-sales-sample-data”: “100.1.*”,
    “magento/module-grouped-product-sample-data”: “100.1.*”,
    “magento/module-downloadable-sample-data”: “100.1.*”,
    “magento/module-msrp-sample-data”: “100.1.*”,
    “magento/module-configurable-sample-data”: “100.1.*”,
    “magento/module-product-links-sample-data”: “100.1.*”,
    “magento/module-wishlist-sample-data”: “100.1.*”,
    “magento/module-swatches-sample-data”: “100.1.*”,
    “magento/sample-data-media”: “100.1.*”,
    “magento/module-offline-shipping-sample-data”: “100.1.*”
    },…{/code}

    Step 2.) composer update (Run this command on the server/terminal. You may need to create GitHub OAuth token to pass the rate limit. Login to your Github account (or create one) and head to Developer Settings > Personal access tokens and generate new token with full control of private repositories.)

  • Magento: Multiple security vulnerabilities in Aheadworks Follow up Email extension

    IMPORTANT: If you are using this extension in any of the Magento store, please patch or upgrade it immediately if you have not done it yet. You can find more details on the affected versions and patches here:
    https://blog.aheadworks.com/2016/10/security-issue-follow-up-email-vulnerability/
    https://blog.aheadworks.com/2016/10/follow-email-security-patch/

    While modifying Aheadworks follow up extension on our store to meet our specific requirements, I discovered multiple security vulnerabilities in the extension. As the vulnerabilities were pretty serious, I immediately sent my discoveries to Magento team which they promptly sent to Aheadworks team. Aheadworks was quick enough to fix the vulnerabilities and rolled out the patches.

    Link of the extension in Magento Marketplace:
    https://marketplace.magento.com/aheadworks-follow-up-email.html
    It allows store owners to send automated emails to customers who had abandoned their cart.
    Aheadworks follow up email extension

    All the below vulnerabilities were found in the extension.

    1. SQL injection
    2. Directory Traversal vulnerability
    Attacker can traverse to any directory on the server. In earlier PHP versions (prior to 5.3.4), attacker can read any file on server including /etc/passwd
    3. Unrestricted Directories creation
    Attacker can create any number of directories and subdirectories with their desired name wherever web server has permissions

    I will not disclose any technical details and PoC of the vulnerabilties here to prevent wild exploits on Magento websites having this extension installed.

    Timeline:
    Oct 6, 2016 – Discovered the SQL injection vulnerability
    Oct 6, 2016 – Emailed the vulnerability to Magento security and marketplace team
    Oct 7, 2016 – Emailed the vulnerability to Magento team
    Oct 7, 2016 – Magento forwarded my discoveries to Aheadworks team
    Oct 11, 2016 – Aheadworks released new version 3.6.6 and patch for older versions of the extension
    Oct 25, 2016 – Found further vulnerabilities on the same controller action, this time Directory Traversal and Unrestricted Directories creation vulnerabilities
    Oct 25, 2016 – Emailed the details to Magento team, they promptly notified to Aheadworks team
    Oct 27, 2016 – Fixed the vulnerabilities in new version 3.6.7 and released the patch for older versions

  • [Resolved] WordPress update error

    If you are getting below (or any WordPress update) error when you are updating your WordPress to latest version, the problem could be:

    500 Internal Server Error

    PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_oembed_add_host_js() in /var/www/production/blog/wp-admin/about.php on line 31

    – PHP version. Make sure the PHP version you have meets the required PHP version of new WordPress update.
    – Opcode cache. If you are using opcode cache like APC, clear the cache.
    – WordPress cache. Flush the WordPress cache (Wordfence, WP Super Cache, W3 Total Cache, etc.) you are using.
    – CloudFlare. If you are using external cache like CloudFlare, make sure you also flush it if you still see the above error.

    Refresh the update page and see if this resolves for you!

  • Magento 2 hello world module in 2 mins!

    Create Magento 2 hello world module in 2 minutes!

    To create a simple custom module in Magento2 which will give an output on frontend website from your module, follow below steps:

    Change to app/code directory where all the Magento2 module lives. Notice there are no codepools (core, community, local) under this directory like it used to be in Magento 1.x
    {code}cd app/code{/code}

    Create your company name directory
    {code}mkdir Hello{/code}

    Create you module name directory
    {code}mkdir Hello/World{/code}

    Create etc directory to hold module config file
    {code}mkdir Hello/World/etc{/code}

    module.xml file is required only to hold module name and it’s version
    {code}vi Hello/World/etc/module.xml{/code}
    {code type=xml}


    {/code}

    Register your module, this is required in all the modules. Only thing you will change is your module name (Hello_World)
    {code}vi Hello/World/registration.php{/code}
    {code type=php}Create frontend directory under etc to define frontend routes. We are creating this because we want to output something on frontend website.
    {code}mkdir Hello/World/etc/frontend{/code}

    routes.xml is used to give your module a front name. Only thing you will be interested is tag which holds frontName for the enclosed module name.
    {code}vi Hello/World/etc/frontend/routes.xml{/code}
    {code type=xml}






    {/code}

    Create Controller directory to hold your module’s controller files
    {code}mkdir Hello/World/Controller{/code}

    Create your controller directory, this will become part of the url after frontName
    {code}mkdir Hello/World/Controller/Hello{/code}

    Create controller file, notice there is no controller action in Magento2 Controller. This will again become part of the url and will call execute() method of the class.
    {code}vi Hello/World/Controller/Hello/World.php{/code}
    {code type=php}Change directory to reach Magento 2 root directory
    {code}cd ../../{/code}

    Enable your module, so an entry will go to app/etc/config.php file and cache will be cleared
    {code}bin/magento module:enable Hello_World{/code}

    This will add your module with it’s current version to DB table setup_module, without running this command you won’t see the changes of newly created module.
    {code}bin/magento setup:upgrade{/code}

    Check your module in browser: http://www.yourwebsite.com/first/hello/world. If you have done everything correct, it should output “Hello world!”

    Magento 2 hello world module

  • Magento get all items in cart

    Magento get all the items currently in cart programatically using below code. You can place it anywhere you wish to get information, phtml or php file. Instead of Mage::getSingleton(‘checkout/session’)->getQuote() you can also use Mage::getSingleton(‘checkout/cart’)->getQuote() to get same results. If you want to see what all product information is retrieved you can use $product->getData() inside the foreach loop to display in array format.

    {code type=php}$cart = Mage::getSingleton(‘checkout/session’)->getQuote();
    //$cart->getAllItems() to get ALL items, parent as well as child, configurable as well as it’s simple associated item
    foreach ($cart->getAllVisibleItems() as $item) {
    $product = $item->getProduct();
    $name = $product->getName();
    $sku = $product->getSku();
    }{/code}

    If you want all the items in collection format, you can call below code instead:
    {code type=php}$itemsCollection = Mage::getSingleton(‘checkout/cart’)->getQuote()->getItemsCollection();{/code}

  • Magento add static block to cms page

    You can add static block to CMS page in Magento in following 2 ways:

    1.) By adding code in Layout Update XML of CMS page:
    {code type=xml}


    STATIC_BLOCK_ID_HERE


    {/code}

    2.) By putting below code directly into CMS Page content area:
    {code}{{block type=”cms/block” block_id=”STATIC_BLOCK_ID_HERE”}}{/code}

    Make sure you flush Blocks HTML Output cache if your changes do not reflect on website.
