Magento hasn't had a fully functional CSV export library in 5 months. Putting this file into your app/code/local/ folder will allow you to properly export CSV data that you can open in OpenOffice.org, MS-Excel, or any other tool that parses CSV data. Since there are 3 or 4 CSV parsing libraries in Magento, this might not fix every single one. But it should allow you to put HTML into your product descriptions.

To install, just copy the files and folders onto your magento application, no files are overwritten, all the changed files go into app/code/local/*. To un-install, simply remove "Mage/Dataflow" from app/code/local/.

• Properly escapes CSV data

Most users will benefit from this module. It's actually a collection of patched files, optimizing the most called methods and functions. On average I am seeing an 8%-10% boost on all pages. I've tested a system with Apache bench and found that requests per second increased by 0.8 on this test machine. Your results my vary, tweak your apc .ini settings.

To install, just copy the files and folders onto your magento application, no files are overwritten, all the changed files go into app/code/local/*. To un-install, simply remove "Mage", "Zend", and "Varien", from app/code/local/.

UPDATE

Some users are reporting an error about calling a non static method statically. If you see see this error, just add the word ``static'' to

app/code/local/Mage/Core/Model/App.php

on line 944 so it looks like this

public static function useCacheStatic($type=null)

UPDATE AGAIN

It looks like some of this code has been integrated back into 1.0.19700. This module might not be necessary if you have the latest 1.0 installed. Also, be sure to remove these files before upgrading, as I'm not sure what trouble they might cause.

Features:

• Up to 10% performance boost
• Zero configuration, drop the files in and you're done.
• This only works with 1.0, not any previous version nor any future version.

Version 2.0

• Minor improvements
• Fixed slow down on low-memory systems
• Added README about enabling "apc" caching

Version 1.0

The best place to leave feedback now is probably at the Magento group.

The BugSidebar module fixes a calculation error in the my cart side bar so that your sidebar prices match the checkout page. You only need this module if you are changing the default behavior of products with custom modules and you notice that your prices are not totaling correctly in the sidebar.

The reason the sidebar calculations can vary is that the sidebar uses products to calculate the totals and not the quote items from the cart. Products directly loaded from the database will not have any customizations that you might have attached with special programming. So, if you've dynamically modified the quote items you might need this fix.

If you haven't messed with quote items or custom modules you do not need this fix

• "My Cart" sidebar calculations match checkout page

Release 0.1.0
