So, I’m a noob when it comes to linux bash stuff, but I had a situation where I needed to strip the parenthesses out of a bunch of files provided to me because the system they were going into didn’t like them in image file names. A little bit of google searching lead me to…
This is an old one, but worth mentioning. The Kellen Construction site. A custom furniture shop that constructed the desks I have in my office. He does high quality work and because it’s custom, you always get exactly what you want. He is most well known for his custom murphy bed construction. The site is…
I was working on this Sharepoint app, and I needed to create a user control that allowed file uploads and database updates for an image area of the site with specific requirements. It is a pretty basic setup, load all the images on page load, and use a modal with an edit screen that is…

So you want to run a few stores from one master admin in magento. Luckily, they make it easy to do. First thing’s first, secure the urls you need for your store.
