You just need to pass the “_fragment” parameter to the getUrl method.
Here is an example that would link to the customer account page to a bookmark called “test”.

Mage::getUrl(‘customer/account’, array(‘_fragment’ => ‘test))

The url generated by the above code would be www.YourMagentoSite.com/customer/account#test

Log into the admin of you store and go to: System -> Configuration -> System -> Mail Sending Settings -> Disable Email Communications

All you need to do is add a gif with the correct file name to the following directory:
/skin/adminhtml/default/default/images/widget/

Now, to name the gif. In you widgets.xml file you set the widget “type”, which is the block class for the widget. Just replace the “/” slash with a double underscore and that is the file name. so if I had a widget with the type set to “custommodule/wigets_customwidget” I just create a gif with the name “custommodule__wigets_customwidget.gif”.

End result:
/skin/adminhtml/default/default/images/widget/custommodule__wigets_customwidget.gif

If you just edit the Authorizenet Class and enable refunds and partial refunds, you may still hit some bugs. I recently found that partial refunds were being recorded by Magento corectly, but auth.net was actually refunding the entire order amount, not just the partial amount. This was because Magento was pulling the amount to refund from the payment object which in most cases will be the entire order total. Inorder to fix this I had to tell auth.net to use the refund amount from the credit memo request.

//In the refund method in /Paygate/model/Authorizenet.php we need to modify the x_amount in the request
//Notice the one line i added after the call to $this->_buildRequest
public function refund(Varien_Object $payment, $amount)
    {
        if ($payment->getRefundTransactionId() && $amount > 0) {
            $payment->setAnetTransType(self::REQUEST_TYPE_CREDIT);
            $request = $this->_buildRequest($payment);

            //added to get the proper amount to be refunded
            $request->setXAmount($amount,2);
            //END Custom

            $request->setXTransId($payment->getRefundTransactionId());

            /**
             * need to send last 4 digit credit card number to authorize.net
             * otherwise it will give an error
             */
            $request->setXCardNum($payment->getCcLast4());

            $result = $this->_postRequest($request);
            if ($result->getResponseCode()==self::RESPONSE_CODE_APPROVED) {
                $payment->setStatus(self::STATUS_SUCCESS);
                return $this;
            }
            Mage::throwException($this->_wrapGatewayError($result->getResponseReasonText()));
        }
        Mage::throwException(Mage::helper('paygate')->__('Error in refunding the payment.'));
    }

Now your online refunds will use the correct amount.

The version of Ubuntu I was installing used Grub Legacy not Grub2. Apparently this version of Grub has a limit of where it can find bootloaders. This means that the grub bootloader needs to exist early on the disk. Here is how I got things working.

I was using a 250GB HD and installed windows 7 first to a partion sized at 70Gigs. Then I installed Ubuntu to a partition(60 Gigs) directly after the Windows 7 partition. This is how I circumvented the Error Mentioned above. Now I have some unused disk space I can create extra NTFS of Linux partitions.

Hope this helps.

Before proceeding Please Note: This was written using Magento Version 1.4.1.1. Because of the vast differences between version this may or may not work on other version. Test anything on a staging site before trying to apply to a production site.

To run the following code snippets you need to add them to an Admn controller action, then go to this action in the admin area. What controller you temporarily add this to is your choice.

        //Delete two orders
    	/* */
    	$orders = Mage::getModel('sales/order')->getCollection()
    		->addAttributeToFilter('increment_id', array('in', array('XXX000700', 'XXX000700-1')));
    	if(count($orders) delete();
	    	}
    	} else {
    		Die("incorect number of orders to delete.");
    	}

Now We Delete a Credit Memo we did not want

        //Now Delete the Refund for an order but do not delete the order.
    	$order = Mage::getModel('sales/order')->loadByIncrementId('XXX000320');
    	//Delete Credit Memo
    	$creditMemos = $order->getCreditmemosCollection();
    	foreach($creditMemos as $cm){	//cancel each credit memo for the order
    		$state = $cm->getState();
    		if($state == 3){//Cancled
    			continue;
    		}
    		$cm->cancel()
    			->save()
    			->getOrder()->save();	//Needed to save the order to apply the canceled credit memo to all order items.

    		$cm->delete();
    	}

After running the above code I did need to edit the refund values for the order in this table: sales_flat_order

when canceling the credit memo it changed the offline refund amount instead of the online refund amount.

Somewhere along the line Magento added a config setting called “Display Out of Stock Products”. This setting will remove products from the sites search and category lists, if the product is out of stock. You can still go directly to the products details page if you know the url, but it will not be found in the search with this setting enabled. I recently needed to show out of stock products for a site that has been running for a while. When I Change this config setting to show out of stock items and saved the config page, the browser just sat there spinning and never completed. In order for me to update this config I needed to manually edit the database table “core_config_data” and update the value for this setting. Then an Index refresh was needed.

If you find you self trying to change this setting but cant, try just doing it through the database directly. If you happen to have issues because the database says there are locks on the table, you need to get rid of the locks. One way to accomplish this is to restart the database service. Please take care when doing this because it will temporary affect any sites using the databases while they restart.

1. Enable Logging in the admin
2. Copy /app/code/core/Mage/Usa/Model/Shipping/Carrier/Ups.php             to      /app/code/local/Mage/Usa/Model/Shipping/Carrier/Ups.php
3. Now make the following edits to the file you just created.

Edit the following code in _getCgiQuotes method

        //Comment out original code
        //return $this->_parseCgiResponse($responseBody);

        //Log Request
        $result = $this->_parseCgiResponse($responseBody);
        foreach($result ->getRatesByCarrier($this->_code) as $upsRate){
        	if($upsRate instanceof Mage_Shipping_Model_Rate_Result_Error){
        		$timeCode = time();
		        Mage::log($params, null, 'ups-request-'.$timeCode.'.log');
		        Mage::log($response, null, 'ups-response-'.$timeCode.'.log');
		        Mage::log($responseBody, null, 'ups-response-body-'.$timeCode.'.log');
        	}
        }
        return $result ;
        //END Changes

If you can not figure out the exact format you need you can test it by doing a bulk attribute update from the admin and edit the file for Mage_Catalog_Model_Product_Action class and in the updateAttributes method just print the value for $attrData. Then mimic this in you update script.

//Get the product Ids you want to affect. For me it was all downloadable products
$downloadableProductIds = Mage::getResourceModel('catalog/product_collection')
	->addAttributeToFilter('type_id', Mage_Downloadable_Model_Product_Type::TYPE_DOWNLOADABLE)
	->getAllIds();

//Now create an array of attribute_code => values
$attributeData = array('my_attribute_code' => 'my_attribute_value);
//Set the store to affect. I used admin to change all default values
$storeId = 0; //A.K.A Admin
//Now Update the attribute(s) for the given products.
Mage::getSingleton('catalog/product_action')
	->updateAttributes($downloadableProductIds, $attributeData, $storeId);
