Bypassing (or Upgrading Emogrifier) In Woocommerce

Published by John on February 1, 2019

While developing a custom email template for a client running the Woocommerce E-Commerce shopping cart system on their website, I ran into some issues with styles being automatically inlined and added to the email before it was sent.

After some debugging, I discovered that Woocommerce uses the Emogrifier to inline styles in the email, which was causing some issues.

This post discusses how you can use your own copy of the emogrifer library, in order to change settings or upgrade it to a newer version, without modifying woocommerce code.

I would add the disclaimer that there are some potential problems with this, so whenever possible fixing your template so emogrifier doesn’t break it is probably better.

Converting Serialized Objects to JSON Objects

Published by John on December 18, 2018

While helping a client with a Magento migration from Magento 1.X to Magento 2.X, it was necessary to convert some serialied objects over to json objects. While there is a data migration tool available for Magento 2, due to some technical reasons it wasn’t possible to convert this data over using the Magento 2 data migration tool, so I wrote this PHP script to convert the data over.

In the past, I have written about how to convert values in the wordpress database from serialized objects to JSON objects, but that used some of Wordpress’s functions to process the data and update the database.

This post describes a similar process, but is more generic and should work outside of Wordpress.

Magento: Fixing Bug in Freelunch Labs Mailgun Search

Published by John on December 17, 2018

One of my web design clients ran into an issue on their Magento site recently when logged into the admin section and searching their mailgun transactional email log. After a little digging I found that there was an issue in the plugin they were using, Freelunclabs Mailgun integration.

I believe this issue only impacted admins using that search and so added a quick update to fix the search grid in the Magento extension.
