Elastic Search - How to install and manage multiple versions of elastic search

2021-02-02T08:09:00.004+00:00

It is possible to install and manage multiple versions of elastic search using an Elastic search version Manager.

You can simply follow below steps to install EVM and start Elastic search with your desired version:

STEPS

sudo curl -o /usr/local/bin/evm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/duydo/evm/master/evm
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/evm
evm install 7.4.0 /** You can replace 7.4.0 with your desired elastic search version **/
evm install 5.4.0 /** You can replace 5.4.0 with your desired elastic search version **/
evm use 7.4.0 /** You can replace 7.4.0 with your desired elastic search version **/
evm start
curl http://localhost:9200

If you want to install another version, then you can stop the EVM and install another version in the similar manner. NOTE: For this Tutorial we have used Duydo EVM which is available here: https://github.com/duydo/evm to download and run elasticsearch version 7.4.0.

Magento 2: How to fix Temando Error logs

2020-09-21T12:42:00.007+01:00

If you are not using Temando Shipping module which comes packaged with Out of the Box Magento in your E-commerce site then most likely you will see your var/log/system.log file being spammed with numerous errors that look like below:

 [2020-09-02 11:13:03] temando.CRITICAL: "accountId" is required. Enter and try again. 
 {
     "exception":"[object] (Magento\\Framework\\Exception InputException(code: 0): \"accountId\" is required. 
     Enter and try again at /vendor/magento/framework/Exception/InputException.php:91)"
 }

This error is a Core magento bug. It may seem minor, but over a period of time if ignored, it can result in a humungous system log file size and as a result your actual logs and important messages can get lost between these errors.

In order to fix this error there are 2 ways:

1) Disable the Temando_Shipping module in your magento site using this command:

 php bin/magento module:disable Temando_Shipping

OR

2) Create a data patch class to remove source_model of the attribute

ts_packaging_id

Do clear cache and re-generate static content after implementing any one of the above ways. After doing this the error will stop spamming your log files.

2020-08-17T18:14:00.001+01:00

Here is a tutorial on how to add new Grid in Category Listing Page. For this example we will assume we want to add a grid same as Product Category Positions for Category Brands. It should look something like below:

Assume that you have a custom module called Namespace_Module. You will create following files in your module:

Namespace_Module\view\adminhtml\ui_component\category_form.xml

Namespace_Module\Block\Adminhtml\Category\MyCustomGrid.php

Namespace_Module\view\adminhtml\templates\catalog\category\edit\assign.phtml

Magento 2: How to create your own Patch File and apply it through composer

2020-08-17T17:56:00.002+01:00

Magento releases new patches for it's framework from time to time. Here is a tutorial of how to create your own patch file in Magento.

Although I personally am not a huge fan of patches, due to various drawbacks, there are desperate times when you need to apply a patch. I would suggest to use this approach as less as possible and instead opt going the standard magento way of versioned modules that store your changes.

But, In case there are times when you are forced to create a patch, or just for self-knowledge on how it's done, you can follow below tutorial.

STEP 1:
In your magento root directory create a folder called "patches".

STEP 2:
Create a sub-directory with the name Namespace_Module for the module which you want to create a patch for. So the path will look like this: <>\patches\Namespace_Module

STEP 3:
Add your patch file in the directory you created in Step 2 of this tutorial.

HOW TO CREATE A PATCH FILE:

Create a backup of the original file which you want to patch.
Now make your desired changes in the file.
Open console and run the following command:

STEP 4:
Open your Project's composer.json and add the following:

The next time do you run composer install or composer update; your patches will get applied. Alternatively you can also run composer patch:apply -vvv

NOTES:
Patch files are extremely sensitive to paths and line numbers. So, if your patch is not applying correctly, then cross-check these 2 things in your patch file.

Magento 2: Add new button on Category Edit Page in Admin Panel

2020-08-17T17:25:00.000+01:00

Namespace_Module\view\adminhtml\ui_component\category_form.xml

Namespace_Module\Block\Adminhtml\Category\Edit\Button\AssignButton.php

Namespace_Module\Controller\Adminhtml\Category\Assign.php

Voila !! That's it. Now, clear all caches and check the category page in admin panel. There will be a new button called "Assign".

5 Things IT Start-ups SHOULD do

2020-08-14T12:44:00.005+01:00

There are a lot of blog-posts all over the internet with the list of points which startups should not do. However, from my experience of working as an advisor to so many startups, i can figure out that, what they actually need is a list of "TO-DOs". Because most of the time, believe me, start-ups have absolutely no idea as to what to do and where to start from. If you too are facing the same dilemm, you are in the right place. I am here to help you get started.

Sometimes, not having the correct tools, or missing the basics can prove to be a very expensive mistake. It could be in the form of potential clients rejecting the quotations and good candidates rejecting your job-offers.

Following 5 points will not only help you get the correct personnel but also a good client-base to start with.

RESEARCH:
- Research your competitors in the same domain. It's hard to be impartial, but try to look at their work from an impartial perspective, interview their client base if you can. Try to make a list of What are they doing good, what are they not doing good ? Once you are equipped with this information, implement their positive points in your own company, and strategize on how to make your competitor weaknesses your strengths.
- Show your potential clients how your services are superior without actually showing your competitor as an inferior. Take the higher road, a lot of people speak negatively about their competitors. But if you focus on your own strengths, you will leave a lasting impression behind. The main advantage a startup would have over an established competitor is that you can provide undivided attention to your client and can focus on quality of the service provided. Oftentimes, customer grievances go un-resolved in established companies due to various reasons like bureaucracy, negligence, or procrastinating promises. A startup can use this to their advantage and work on providing real customer satisfaction.
GET A WEBSITE:
- It is no less than a Taboo, that a company does not have a website or have a website which doesn't have a footprint on the internet.
- By a website, i mean a good-looking website. Not just 2-3 simple html pages on your domain. Your website should and MUST make a Statement. Here's how:
- Purchase a domain. Free domains are usually sub-domains. They do nothing but portray that you cannot afford to have your own website. Don't get me wrong, free domains are great and I use one myself, but they are good for an individual use, if you are building your company's Brand then it is recommended to have your own domain.
- Do not use watermarked images. I have often seen startups using iStockPhoto or similar websites photos where the logo is clearly watermarked on them. Either purchase the images or take images from sites which allow free usage and donot have watermarks on them. Be sure to read all the copyright and privacy policies thoroughly, to avoid any violation or infringement.
- Avoid publishing your website with lorem ipsum content pages. This will do nothing but harm your SEO.
- To get higher ranks on Search Engines Hire an SEO. (You can also Hire me for Best results)
PARTICIPATE:
- Participate in any forums, meetups, online groups that are relevant to your domain. This will not only put you in touch with potential clients but also can put you in touch with industry influencers and potential investors. Connect with people, form contacts, make your startup known.
SEO & MARKETING:
- Marketing is crucial in today's day and age regardless of the age of your business. SEO is even more crucial because the world is slowly moving online. Many brick and mortar business paid heavily during the global pandemic because they never invested in an online presence.
- Offline Marketing of your business is necessary - You can either opt for a word of mouth publicity, paid publicity, sponsoring meetups, etc.
- Online Marketing will help put your business on the global map, target the right audience and track your Return on Investment. You can do this in by hiring SEO Services, running Google and Social Media Ad Campaigns, Submitting sites to various Online Directories, etc. You can Contact me for hiring my services.
SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE:
- Having a presence on social media will help you build an image for your brand. When customers see your company on social media, active and posting on the social media page, it helps build a sense of trust. When a company responds to customer queries on social media and posting original content, it helps build a positive image of the company in customer's mind.
- Social media presence is very important to build a powerful brand, establish customer loyalty and satisfaction, and open a seamless channel of communication with your customers.
