This problem came while I was working on a client’s website. Take this scenario. I have a listing page (similar to a listing page from www.trademe.co.nz or www.ascent.co.nz ). They have a lot of listings. Each listing has a hyperlink going to a detail page which describes more about each listing.
If you have quite a large page of listings, the user has to scroll down the page to find the listing they want to click on. The problem is, when they click on the link and go to the details page, what happens when the click back and they end up back at the top of the page again? This can be quite annoying. It would be “nice” to get the browser to go back to the previous position on the listing page.

The Approach

We achieve this but attach a click event handler to the specific a tags that we want to record the last clicked position from the user before we redirect to the next page. This means when the user goes back to the previous page they will be taken to the exact position on the page. When the click event happens we always override what was in the cookie so that we don’t end up with several pages and positions. We don’t want a user to go to another page they have been to before and set the scroll position, it should only happen to the previous page.

Here is the code

Call to undefined method Mage_Admin_Model_Observer::actionPostDispatchAdmin()

Everything inside /var/sessions/ and /var/cache and (if it exists) /app/code/core/Zend/Cache/ must be deleted.

Warning: Invalid argument suppplied for foreach() line 51.

Fix is available from here (this is only a fix, it doesn’t solve the problem – The paging is removed).

The problem I had was trying to send emails in Magento using GMAIL (Google Apps) using the code from this forum:

http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/1073/

The work around is that I setup a email account in Bluehost the same as the email I use in Google Apps.  I then modified the code in Magento to send out using bluehost’s SMTP servers:

For example:

Outgoing Mail Server: (SSL) boxnumber.bluehost.com (server requires authentication)
Supported Incoming Mail Protocols:

• POP3: port 110
• POP3S (SSL/TLS): port 995
• IMAP: port 143
• IMAPS (SSL/TLS): port 993

Supported Outgoing Mail Protocols:

• SMTP: port 26
• SMTPS (SSL/TLS): port 465

And it works, it sends the email out to the customers with the right email address sent from bluehost’s local SMTP servers, so when customers reply to the email address it will arrive in my google apps mail box.

By using the following code, you can set the offset from the global joomla configuration file

<?php
$thisJApp = &JFactory::getApplication();
$thisJDate = JFactory::getDate();
$thisJDate ->setOffset($thisJApp ->getCfg(‘offset’));
echo $thisJDate->toFormat(“%A %d %b %Y”);
?>

If you want to set the date from a logged in user you can try:

<%

$JUser =& JFactory::getUser();
$JDate = JFactory::getDate();
echo $JDate->toFormat().’<br>’;
echo ‘offset=’ . $JDate->getOffset() . ‘<br>’;
$JDate->setOffset($JUser->getParam(‘timezone’));

%>

Steps to resolve:

I enabled the cUrl extension in php.ini (running on a IIS platform)

Changed the code around line 6536:

curl_setopt($fp, CURLOPT_PROXY, $ip);
curl_setopt($fp, CURLOPT_PROXYPORT, $port);
curl_setopt($fp, CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD, $login . ‘:’ . $passwd);

where $ip is the proxy IP Address, $port is the port and $login:$password is the proxy authentication.

After this, I can load in external RSS feeds! YAY
