/*$shipment->sendEmail($email, ($includeComment ? $comment : ‘’));*/
} catch (Mage_Core_Exception $e) {
$this->_fault(’data_invalid’, $e->getMessage());
}
In function addTrack add function call sendEmail

try {

$shipment->save();
$track->save();
$email=true;
$shipment->sendEmail($email,’’);
} catch (Mage_Core_Exception $e) {
$this->_fault(’data_invalid’, $e->getMessage());

Upgrade Magento from 1.5.1 to 1.6.2 with magento connect in windows

2012-01-30T23:37:00.000-08:00

I think upgrading using magento connect is not so risk

Step:1
Go to admin pannel and login.

step:2
Go to System ->Magento Connect->Magento Connect Manager

step:3
Login with your admin user and password and copy&paste this link

"http://connect20.magentocommerce.com/community/Mage_All_Latest"

in the paste extenstion key install and press 'install' button.Then you get a list of all modules with latest version.

Step:4
Before clicking commit Change you have to do this

To allow MCM to overwrite existing files you need to edit this file:

downloader\lib\Mage\Connect\Validator.php

and remove this part:

if (file_exists($dest)) {
                $this->addError("'{$file}' already exists");
                return false;
            }

which is right at the bottom of the file

If installation fails you will need to re-edit the file as it will be replaced by the version just downloaded

If you install without changing you will get error "files already exists" and it will not install.

Step:5
After successfull installation when you open the front end you get a error

Service Temporarily Unavailable
The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtimeor capacity problems. Please try again later.

error

To clear the error check if there is a file called maintenance.flag in your magento root. If so Delete it

and also clear the cache.

Step:6
Not over there is still error

ALTER TABLE core_store ENGINE=INNODB;

2012-01-24T01:10:00.000-08:00

Pass the Query string through url not by traditional method but by using mod rule in .htaccess file
/names.php?name=boy&id=23&page=1 to names/boy/23/1

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^name=(.+)&id=(.+)&page=(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^names\.php$ /names/%1/%2/%3? [R=301,NE,NC,L]

If you want to convert all the pages to
http://localhost/ram1/2/3
http://localhost/ram1.php?id=2&page=3
http://localhost/ram1/1
http://localhost/ram1.phppage=1
use the rewrite rule below to automatically converts to corresponding Query String

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.+)/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ $1.php?id=$2&page=$3 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.+)/([0-9]+)/?$ $1.php?page=$2 [L]
