Select some shipping methods in your addon for some reason
The idea is that you want to know in your addon some shipping methods that you can do something with them. For example when creating an integration with a carrier company and you want to let admin create the shipment from the backend but your integration has nothing to do with shipping cost, because it […]
Cs-Cart payed order statuses
In cs-cart when payment is made order must be set to “payed order status”. Not found in documentation, but in fn.cart.php function fn_get_order_paid_statuses, where it requires that the status must have inventory D. Decreasing inventory setting in order status.

Cs-Cart and Symfony console
Things have changes since 2017, an update will be posted on that soon. For sometime now i had the idea to use symfony console component in some of my cs-cart addons to run crontab or other long tasks without creating for each one of them a script in shop’s root folder. First issue was to […]
Variable Number of Nested For Loops
An old problem that came to my head a couple of days ago. I solved it as an excersive in Fortran class about 25 years ago, my current solution is: $lbound = 1; $ubound = 4; $loops = 3; $numbers = array(); for($i=1; $i=1; $l–) { $numbers[$l]++; if( $numbers[$l]>$ubound ) { $numbers[$l] = $lbound; } […]

This likely has caught a kernel upgrade in a partial install which […]
programming is like writing a book…
“programming is like writing a book… …except if you miss out a single comma on page 126 the whole thing makes no damn sense” This is one of the more briliant thoughts on what is programming!
Reduce doctrine queries on hydration of related entities
Suppose you have a schema like the one in the next figure and in your repository class you fetch an MqProject entity and later in the code you traverse through all MqProject’s related MqJobs and each job’s related MqTasks like foreach($project->getJobs as $job) { foreach($job->getTasks as $task) { printf(“job: %s task %s\n”, $job->getId(), $task->getId()); } […]
