Product page plays a very important role in Magento 2 and showing the right information at the right spot could decide whether you get a sale or not.

Recently, I came across a situation where I was requested to add a custom block right after the add to cart button on the product page. Although this is not a difficult task for a Magento 2 developer, I thought it would be best to write this article so that anyone struggling to find a solution would find it helpful....

The easiest solution would be to either use an existing widget or create a custom widget to add the custom block to one of the many pre-defined spots on the product page. However, what I am going to show here is not a widget. I will be showing you how to add a custom block using the layout.xml....

Update: This sale is now over. Keep visting Hungersoft.com for more offers and discounts.

We work on several Magento 2 projects on daily basis and that means constantly having to deal with code, database, errors etc. and one thing that comes in handy more often than we’d care to admit are the logs.

Logs when used correctly allow you to understand how your application works, what data is being passed, the errors, where they originate etc. This makes finding the issues and fixing them simpler if not easy....

In this article, I will explain how to enable database logging, which comes in handy especially when the data you expect to be read or written isn’t as you expected it to be. This happens quite often and can be really frustrating to debug....

Several times during the development and testing phase of your store you may have wanted to reindex your store for the your products, their prices, promotion rules etc. to show up correctly in the frontend. But Magento does not allow you to reindex direclty from the admin. You either have to wait for the cron to run or, you need to run command php bin/magento indexer:reindex to manually reindex. This can be a tedious task, once that sucks the life out of you when you have to do it over and over again, especially when you don’t know how to run a command in your CLI (Command line interface) and you have to wait for the cron job to run....

There are several cases where you might want to or need to add custom validations before place order so that the action is completed smoothly. These validations should happen before the actual place order action is dispatched.

This article will explain how you can add your custom validations to Magento 2 that run on place order button click but before the button action is dispatched. The button action will be dispatched only when all the validations return true....

First of all, we will create a validator. For your custom module to work correctly, it is best if your module depends on Magento_Checkout module....

Many businesses sell commodities in standard units, and their customers order always in bulk. I.e. many webshops sell products in big/bulk packs and these packs contain multiple units of that product.

For example, one of our esteemed client has a B2B webshop which sells candies by boxes. They display product price as the price of the entire box (which contains specific number/weight of candies). This is the standard and expected way of displaying product prices, but since it is a B2B webshop, their customers also want to know price of 100 grams or 1 Kilograms of that candy. They want the product detail page to also the price of candy per Kg or per 100 grams....

Magento is retiring its Community Edition ver. 1.X .You can read more about that in our previous post.

To show their dedication and support towards the flourishing and vibrant community, Magento has promised to keep providing security updates till 2020.

As a part of that promise, Magento has yet again released a new security patch (SUPEE-11086) on 26th March, 2019!

This new security patch contains security enhancements that protect your webshop from vulnerabilities like remote code execution (RCE), cross-site request forgery (CSRF) and cross-site scripting (XSS). You can read more about it in detail from here....

During one of our recent Magento 2.x projects, we came across a request where the client needed a list of all category names and their url keys.

The M2 webshop had thousands of categories saved across multiple store-views. Fetching category url keys manually from Magento backend or frontend was not an option. Magento 2 does not have an in-built exporter that can export category information. We also did not want to install a third-party extension just for this one time export....

Our developers came up with a quick and simple query that we ran on Magento database and got all category names and their url keys listed down. We also added category id and store id to the list so that the client can recognise the categories easily....
