October 16, 2012
In the past, Yireo has seen so many Magento sites that were build using wrong procedures, resulting in corrupt Magento applications that could not be upgraded.

October 3, 2012

You can thank the customer for purchasing, redirect the customer to a specific procedure. However, this page is only shown when you finish a Magento order. And after a refresh, this session is cleared - so a refresh of the success-page redirects you to an empty cart. This tutorial shows you how to improve this situation.

Our extensions make a difference by allowing backend-based translations to be saved and optimized afterwards. Now version 0.2.0 brings various exciting new features to both extensions.
