The URL that you've set in TYPO3 should not differ to the Base URL setting in Magento (only with index.php/) (''Configuration -> Web -> Safe -> Base URL'') ===== MageLink for TYPO3 and MageLink for Magento ===== You need MageLink on both systems. Please refer to the [[downloads|downloads section]] to download missing extensions. ===== Always use https! ===== The data in this extension is encrypted for higher security, but you should use SSL when confuguring the login url! ===== Use complex encryption/decryption key ===== Please change the encryption/decryption key when installing. It should be complex. You may use all signs. ===== Module Stage is beta ===== MageLink will continuously developed but we can't give any advice and are not responsible in any case! ===== Update! ===== Always use the latest version. It can include important security fixes! ===== Remember the workflow ===== Products/Categories are first fetched, saved and then used. If you are wondering, why the data appears old, please check the cache and the cache lifetime! ===== Execution Time/Timeout ===== The requested data may load several minutes in some ugly cases. It could be necessary to increase the PHP Execution Time aswell as the socket timeout. Please check the following settings in your **php.ini**: ''max_execution_time = 99999'' ''default_socket_timeout = 99999'' ===== Feedback ===== This extension grows with your feedback. If you found any bugs or issues. Please let us know! To contact us kontakt@aixdesign.net ===== Future Versions ===== Future Versions could change the structure of the database/workflow. Therefore you should first test an update before installing it on your live server. ===== First load is the heaviest ===== Most of the data is fetched and then cached, so the first request could be slow (especially when using webservices) ===== Enable Caching ===== Caching dramatically increases the speed, so we recommend enabling all caches. ===== TYPO3 Cache ===== The backend data is cached. In order to reload the data, please clear the TYPO3 Cache ===== Reloading data ===== If you want to reload data, just set the option like in the following picture and reload the frontend page. When the checkbox is enabled, the data is always refreshed! {{::reload.jpg?600|}} ===== Store View Code ===== You can change the store view code in the constants or in the plugin. When you are using the store view code in the plugin, it will have priority to the store view code setting in the constants!
