Magento Fix - Tiny Google Checkout Button in Cart?  E-mail
Written by Administrator

Magento Add comments We’re using a custom theme on this project, so this may be theme-specific, but if you’re using Magento and Google Checkout and the Google Checkout button is incredibly tiny (13px tall specifically), then you have a style in your CSS file that is setting all input types, including the Google Checkout button, to be 13px tall. To fix this, edit design/frontend/[THEME NAME]/default/template/googlecheckout/link.phtml Find the line, around line 34, that looks like: htmlEscape($this->getImageUrl())?>” And edit it, adding the section in bold: htmlEscape($this->getImageUrl())?>” You’ll want to change 46px to an appropriate value for the size of Google Checkout button you are using; 46px is for the large version of the button.
 
mod rewrite and .htaccess in magento  E-mail

I have the exact same issue on how to remove index.php from the url. Here are the steps: 1. I first enabled the rewrite in Admin>System>Configuration>Web>Search Engine Optimization>Use Web Server Rewrites 2. I also enabled mod_rewrite in apache2 in the terminal with: sudo a2enmod rewrite and then restart apache2 with sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart I checked that mod_rewrite is enabled in the directory: /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/rewrite.load At this point, I can properly display the homepage without the index.php in the home url. All is well until I click on any product category or any link, the index.php in the url is removed but I receive a 404 error. If I manually type in the index.php in the address bar, I can navigate to the page. After searching the forum on this problem, people having the same problem resolved it with .htaccess. Here’s what I did: 3. I copied the content of .htaccess.sample in the magento root and paste it to a new file called .htaccess in the same directory. 4. I uncommented the statement: “RewriteBase /magento/” and change it to “RewriteBase /” since my magento directory is already the root This didn’t resolve the problem, I still have the 404 error. I search the forum again, and tried: 5. I issued the command in terminal to edit http.conf: sudo gedit /etc/apache2/httpd.conf and paste the following in the file # Each directory to which Apache has access can be configured with respect # to which services and features are allowed and/or disabled in that # directory (and its subdirectories). # # First, we configure the “default” to be a very restrictive set of # features. # Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All After restarting apache2, I’m still having the same 404 error. Another search in the forum and 6. I refreshed the catalog cache in Admin>Cache Management>Catalog Rewrites>Refresh But I still have the same 404 error when I clicked on the category page or any other links in the homepage. What could be the problem and how do I fix this? Thanks.

Title tag is one of the most important factors in SEO. It is like a title of the book which gives search engine and people visiting your site a hint of what is inside. Full title modification can give a better ranking for a targeted keyword/s. In Joomla, the format of the title is [Site Name - Title Tag] by default. You cannot edit that in Joomla administrator.
