We’ve recently started a Dot Net Nuke project, that required IIS 7.5, so we installed a test server on a local Win 7 workstation that we had available to do some basic development work prior to moving to a production environment.
We installed the the IIS server via the “Add Windows Feature” in Windows 7 control panel and got the server to run Asp.net 4 without a problem. The issue we ran against was that the IIS server was NOT serving any content such as images or CSS files.
On an enterprise magento client, we’ve recently had a need to move customer reviews from one product to another. The original product had custom options on it, that needed to made into a bundle, so the reviews had to go along with it.
We had a request to be able to link a coupon from a email newsletter back to magento, and automatically apply a coupon discount with one URL. So for instance, clicking on something like http://yoursite/applycoupon/index/?url=some-cool-product&coupon_code=TESTYOURCOUPON would go the magento site, automatically apply the discount to the cart when the user adds something to their cart.
Natively, this does not exist within Magento, so we had to either build for find a plugin to accomplish the same thing.
We found a great article from Drew Gillson (thank you!) that got us most of the way there. His article should get you most of the way towards the solution, however we still were having problems getting it to work.

Update 10/24/13:
We just heard back from our support person that we should be notified when the badge has an issue. We never received any confirmation or contact from them. In anycase, they did point us to the actual test tool in an obscure post on a Q/A page (Test Drive tool here).
We recently wrote about (source the difficulties we faced while setting up Google Trusted Store Feeds with Magento shopping cart.
Now we face a new challenge, trying to find out why a Trusted Store badge mysteriously disappeared. Thankfully, Google’s Trusted Merchant support folks are very responsive and an awesome group of folks. They were able to point us to the fact that our checkout success page has been incorrectly formatted.
This came as a shock,
Recently, a project required a certain amount of horsepower, that a standard linux virtual image could not support. We had started to price out a brand new server that we could build from NewEgg, but took a quick look on Ebay. It was there where we had our “DUH” moment.
