Magento 1.5 Shipping Method Sorry, no quotes are available for this order at this time.

So one of my CSR's kept having this problem. I am going in and changing the weight on the only product in the cart to no avail. It turns out, that if the address cannot be verified, then no methods will show up. The CSR had a space in front of the zip code, because the customer entered it that way. Make sure the address you are shipping to validates, or the shipping methods will fail. It seems a simple PHP trim() function would have resolved this anomaly.

Good luck

SugarCRM 6.1 ModernAqua Theme Install

For lack of documentation...
Download from SugarForge... http://www.sugarforge.org/projects/modernaqua
Install in Module Loader.
In order to allow SugarCRM to see the template, after installation I had to follow these instructions here... http://www.sugarcrm.com/forums/f3/unable-change-theme-sugarcrm-ce-6-1-a-74922/# and a piece from here...http://www.sugarcrm.com/forums/f115/new-sugar-installed-fine-but-no-theme-65119/

I had to edit config.php and make the Default theme "ModernAqua". Move "Classic" theme to disabled list in admin>themes. Rename Sugar5 to something different. Delete cache/themes/Sugar5 and change the file permissions for both the /themes/ModernAqua and /cache/themes/ModernAqua to 775 for all directories and 644 for all files.

Then it worked. I hope this helps someone.

Magento 1.5 - Custom Options as Shopping Cart Price Rules - No Can Do!

After spending more than 8 hours attempting to get Custom Options to work as criteria for shopping cart price rules, I have given up for now. The closest that one could get to identify an "option" in the cart and apply price rules would be to create a product from an attribute set, which is obviously not a "customer selectable option," and use the attribute set as criteria for the price rule.

I wish I had better news about this, as I really need this functionality. Maybe I should create a module. :|

Joomla 1.7.0 New Installation JError Loop No configuration.php

So, I installed Joomla! 1.7.0 and upon going to the front or back ends I get an error: JError detected an infinite loop. It turns out that the full stable installation .zip file does not properly include the configuration.php file. The loop error is kind of erroneous. The problem was that there was not a connection to the database. I noticed that after following the instructions at http://docs.joomla.org/Infinite_loop_detected_in_JError_in_Joomla_1.7.

How I fixed it... Now, when I install a fresh load of J1.7 I grab the configuration.php out of the installation DIR after I run through the installation and I change the permissions for the file on the server to be writable. I still had to manually enter the database connection settings - MySQL username, password and database name. Now, I no longer have this issue.

Tweet Adder 3 Demo Mode: I Entered The Wrong Password. AKA Manage Users Is Blank

So, I was trying out TweetAdder 3 and when I installed it I entered the wrong password for my Twitter account. Well, when I clicked "Turn Account On" it told me the password was wrong and that I had to edit it in the Manage Users screen. The manage users screen was blank... empty. Here is how I resolved the issue.

Keep in mind that there was a warning telling me to ensure that the password was right, because when in demo mode there is no way to change it. Wonderful... I'll just uninstall and reinstall, right? Wrong. The settings were still there after I reinstalled. How I got around this issue was to uninstall and then delete the settings from C:\Users\%my_username%\AppData\Roaming\TweetAdder3 folder. I deleted the entire folder as a matter of fact.

BOOM, BABY! Reinstalled and the application asked me for my new credentials. I hope this helps someone that has this issue.
