We were working on a eCommerce website based on magento for INDIA. Magento allows the locale from admin, the path to be followed is Admin >> System >> Configuration >> General >> Locale.

Magento admin has a logging module that records actions performed in Magento admin. It is a very useful module when the admin is used by multiple persons and you want to track the changes made in admin. You have the option to select which of the admin actions are logged. To select/modify the admin actions to be logged go to Admin >> System >> Configuration >> Advanced >> Admin, check the checkbox next to any actions that you want to be logged in the log file.

Magento maintain various index tables to make data access faster. Magento core updates the indexes itself when you save a product but in some cases you may be required to update the indexes yourself. There are two ways to update the indexes from Magento admin or using the command line.
At times you would have seen that when you are filling a form on a website and you hit “ENTER” key the form gets submitted. As a developer you may have come across a situation where you would have wanted to prevent this action. The solution to this is to disable the “ENTER” key using javascript. Here’s a code snippet that disables “Enter” key in HTML textbox:
<script type="text/javascript">
// <![CDATA[
function disableEnterKey(evt) {
var evt = (evt) ? evt : ((event) ? event : null);
var elem = (evt.target) ? evt.target : ((evt.srcElement) ? evt.srcElement : null);
if ((evt.keyCode == 13) && (elem.type=='text')) {return false;}
}
document.onkeypress = disableEnterKey;
// ]]>
</script>
Today I had to fix an issue in a new website of my client. I opened FilZilla and tried to add the FTP details of the site by going to File >> Site Manager. I add the “Host” details, selected protocol as “FTP”, login type “Normal”, added the “User” and “Password”, and then finally clicked on “Connect” button. Guess what happened, I was able to connect to the site – “No”. A pop up appeared saying “Filezilla is running in kiosk mode. “Normal” and “Account” logintypes are not available in this mode“.

In many projects we create reports and we want the data to be exported in csv file so that the user can download it and send it via email to some other department or we need to provide links to some files and want to force the user to download these file.
