on top of the debugging frustrations….
All this xml parsing is one of the main reasons magento is so damn cpu hungry.
It wil easily cause apache eating up all of your cpu for 2-5 seconds per request.

Awfull… Magento is no green label app.

Hi Branko,

One feature that I’ve seen in another very complex eCommerce system (ATG – its J2EE) is to view the final compiled XML config. So for example, layout – once all the modules have added (or removed!!) to the layout declaration, show the final list of nodes and their attributes.

In my view, this would be extremely helpful in Magento, for layout and also config xmls. What do you think?

Cheers,
Jonathan

I would have to agree, as powerful and flexible Magento is, some documentation is badly missing. Not only for the xml, but also for the Mage framework.

I feel like a dog chasing my own tail when I want to do something, even when it’s a simple task.

Hello Branko,
I have been searching net since 2 months and found to be active in case of Magento. Thanks for being so.
I have got few issues and most critical being creating a custom shipment module based on parcel force service. I saw your tutorial for creating one from scratch and it gave a little idea. Thanks for it. I need a bit detailed info. like where to place parcel force API’s and what are the further files that need to be coded. Also will this shipping method automatically update total amount on checkout page.
Also may you please highlight some mistakes which normally everybody does in such cases.

Thanking in advance

Kind Regards
Pirzada Jeelani
