Tinyurl provides us a short and simple service to convert long URL to small(tiny) URL. We can send email without link breakage. Here is the tinyurl api to get shorten url. You can use any of the method. Method 1: Use file_get_contents to fetch tinyurl. echo file_get_contents('http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php?url=http://www.websnippetz.com'); file_get_contents is not working? If your are able to access php.ini file set allow_url_fopen = On or you can use the below method. Method 2: Use cURL (runs faster than file_get_contents) to fetch tinyurl. function get_tiny_url($url) { $url = "http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php?url={$url}"; $ch = curl_init(); $timeout = 5; curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$url); curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1); curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT,$timeout); $data = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); return $data; } echo get_tiny_url('http://www.websnippetz.com');

Mage::dispatchEvent('sales_quote_add_item', array('quote_item' => $item)); We can access $item values using its registered event name sales_quote_add_item and we can modify the price with our logic.

Modifying magento core file is not at all good idea. All core files that we have modified will be smashed while magento upgrade. Magento have a feature to keep our custom code in local(app/code/local) folder. Inside that folder we can keep our custom codes safely.

Here is the query to delete single order in magento. All we need to do is just replace 'xxxxxxxxx' with your order_id and run it in phpMyAdmin. It works fine in Magento 1.4.x and 1.7.x version. SET @orderId = 'XXXXXXXXX'; #replace this WITH your ORDER NUMBER SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 1; DELETE FROM sales_flat_order WHERE increment_id = @orderId; DELETE FROM sales_flat_quote WHERE reserved_order_id = @orderId;

In some situations like in promotional code field on Cart page or username in Login page we may not want to show autocomplete below input field when we type some thing or double click on input fields. All we need to do is just add the autocomplete='off' attribute in input field. After entering this code, input field will look like this <input name='couponcode' type='text' autocomplete='off' /> That's it we have turnoff autocomplete in input field.
