Navidad 2009

Este año contamos con la grata presencia, por segundo año consecutivo, de Dalia (Mama de Tita). Por supuesto ademas la presencia Juan Luis quien paso sus primeras Navidad en los estados unidos con nosotros. Tambien estuvieron Mama y Harry, Harold, Delmis y Feliz, Juanchi y Blanquita, Tita y yo.

Estas Navidades tuvieron un toque muy alegre gracias a la decoracion de Juanchi, su bonito arbol de Navidad, la colaboracion *ESPECIAL DE TODOS, y la gran idea de Mama de darnos un pijama a cada uno de los presentes para la noche de Navidad.

MAGENTO: What is the URL field in Paypal Website Payments Pro (Express, Direct)

HI,
All you have to do is to add the following URL in the “Paypal URL”:
https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_express-checkout&continue;=&token;=

Paypal assigns a unique token to each transaction, token that is valid three hours (https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content;_ID=developer/e_howto_api_ECGettingStarted).

Express Checkout uses a token to control access to PayPal and execute Express Checkout API operations.

The SetExpressCheckout API operation returns a token, which is used by other Express Checkout API operations and the _ExpressCheckout command to identify the transaction. The life of the token is approximately three hours.

You can also change the locale of PayPal pages to match the language on your website.

To change the language displayed on the PayPal Login page, set the LOCALECODE parameter to one of the following allowable values in the SetExpressCheckout call:

AU (https://www.paypal.com/au/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_express-checkout&continue;=&token;=)
DE (https://www.paypal.com/de/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_express-checkout&continue;=&token;=)
FR (https://www.paypal.com/fr/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_express-checkout&continue;=&token;=)
GB (https://www.paypal.com/gb/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_express-checkout&continue;=&token;=)
IT (https://www.paypal.com/it/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_express-checkout&continue;=&token;=)
ES (https://www.paypal.com/es/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_express-checkout&continue;=&token;=)
JP (https://www.paypal.com/jp/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_express-checkout&continue;=&token;=)
US (https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_express-checkout&continue;=&token;=)

MAGENTO: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 41943040 bytes exhausted

You need to increase the allowed PHP memory in php.ini file.
1. Create a file named php.ini and put this into it. Then upload to your public_html directory
memory_limit = 64M
2. In CPanel, choose PHP Config and enable your php.ini file!
This will increase your allowed memory to 64M. Increase it a little more if it is not enough.

CSS | Relative or Absolute Paths

You can put the CSS file wherever you want (inside the directories
visible to the web server).  However, you gotta tell the browser where
it is. You told the browser, but you told it somewhere it was not.

Your possibilities are:

RELATIVE REFERENCES
Works relative to your HTML file location.  This is easy and quick,
but if you move either the HTML or CSS file to another LEVEL in your
directory structure, then you break the link.

“Personal.css”  = same directory as the page that calls it
www.YourDomain.com/subdirectory/MyFile.html
www.YourDomain.com/subdirectory/Personal.css

“../Personal.css”  = directory above the page that calls it
www.YourDomain.com/subdirectory/MyFile.html
www.YourDomain.com/Personal.css

“../../Personal.css”  = two directories above the page that calls it.
www.YourDomain.com/subdirectory/subdir2/MyFile.html
www.YourDomain.com/Personal.css

“../shared/Personal.css” = one directory above, then down into the
shared directory that is at an equal level with the subdirectory the
HTML file is in.
www.YourDomain.com/subdirectory/MyFile.html
www.YourDomain.com/shared/Personal.css

ABSOLUTE (SERVER ROOT) REFERENCES
This is much more reliable if your site changes much.  However, your
web server must be configured to do this.  It is easy to configure if
you are familiar with such things.  IF YOU USE ABSOLUTE (SERVER ROOT)
REFERENCES, THEN YOU CAN MOVE YOUR HTML FILES AT WILL AND YOU WILL NOT
BREAK THE LINK TO THE CSS.  NOTE THAT YOU CAN ALSO USE THIS SAME
METHOD OF ADDRESSING IMAGES AND ANY OTHER LINKS THAT ARE WITHIN THE
SAME SERVER ROOT.

“/Personal.css”  = css file is located in the server root directory.
This would be www.YourDomain.com/Personal.css

“/shared/Personal.css” = = css file is located in the shared
subdirectory one level down from the server root directory.  This
would be www.YourDomain.com/shared/Personal.css
