Updated Weewarify for Adobe AIR
Using the free AIR code signing certificates offered by Adobe AIR Marketplace I’ve signed Weewarify 2.1 so that it doesn’t give nasty “UNKNOWN PUBLISHER” warnings when one goes to install it. Evidently, I’ll now be able to publish updates as well, and have them be automatically offered as available, so long as I use the [...]
Fixing a category assigned with itself as parent in Satchmo
One annoying possibility in Satchmo is that administrators sometimes accidentally set a category as its own parent. This causes an infinite loop and hangs the site. So you can’t even use Django to fix the error.
Luckily, the solution is simple. At the commandline do like so:
/opt/webapps/mystore $ ./manage.py dbshell

mysql> [...]
Amazon Payments for Satchmo
I’m not sure how I missed it before, but PayPal has a new competitor in Amazon Payments.

Pushing toward a Satchmo Release
I’ve been enjoying being a core developer on the Satchmo e-commerce engine built on the Django framework. Finally, we’re pushing toward our first major release, tentatively numbered 0.5.
My major contribution to this release is the payment module system. The idea is to allow for flexible development of payment modules for most any style of [...]
New record, three patches accepted in one week.
I have this wonderful client who hired me to build a world-class e-commerce site for him. He gave me carte blanche to use whatever framework I wished, so I chose Satchmo, an ecommerce app for Django.
This was a bit gutsy, as I don’t think there are any live Satchmo stores in the wild just [...]
