Add a Sitemap for your Shopify Customers without an App

We code a customer sitemap …

Shopify Announcement/Promotion Bar with Options

Dev Blog / By / 2 minutes of reading

Although most Shopify templates have an announcement bar, there are not very customizeable.  We built this custom section for a client because they have frequent promotions and need the colors to match the sale graphic.  We also added animation to it to draw more attention.  The result works great and is easy to install.  We have all the code snippets loaded into Gist and you can read more about it below:   Here is the …

Dev Blog, Joomla / By / 2 minutes of reading

You may have noticed that Google Search Console recently added a New Structured Data Report for Breadcrumbs in order to allow users to evaluate whether their breadcrumb markup has been implemented correctly.   Twitter lit up with posts and pictures like this one:  {source}<blockquote class=”twitter-tweet”><p lang=”en” dir=”ltr”>Thanks Google Search Console, I think I got your point 😁🙋🏻‍♀️😅 <a href=”https://t.co/xndAFcclWy”>pic.twitter.com/xndAFcclWy</a></p>&mdash; Aleyda Solis (@aleyda) <a href=”https://twitter.com/aleyda/status/1175032969414828032?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>September 20, 2019</a></blockquote> <script async src=”https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js” charset=”utf-8″></script>{/source}   The default Joomla breadcrumbs …

Redirect PDF File Only When Missing

Dev Blog, Joomla / By / 2 minutes of reading

We have a client that has hundreds of training and product manuals and many have been removed over time.  That creates broken links and frustrated customers for them.  They had two folders that these resided in, /images/documents/ and /im_uploads/ We recommend creating a new page with a specific message that the resource is missing and then adding a search form and links to browse.  In the example below, we made such a page with a …

Redirect Loop after No Changes

Dev Blog / By / 1 minute of reading

We had a site that suddenly had an important menu item error out with a redirect loop.  The odd part was we made no changes directly to the item.  The main culprit for this is using the .htaccess but we hadn’t made changes to that file in months.  There was also nothing in the Redirect Manager that would affect it.  The issue ended up being that both the main menu item and another menu item …

Dev Blog, Joomla / By / 1 minute of reading

If you have your website setup to be multilingual, then you probably have the System – Language Code plugin enabled.  However, this can cause issues if you want to directly link to a file or non-Joomla folder on your site.  Some examples are direct links to multimedia (images, PDF, videos), or navigating to other installations like a store or Mautic that you have in a subfolder.   Unfortunately, the solution I used is a hack of …
