Magento by default will choose the logo_email.gif from the default package and default theme. To force it to use the logo_email.gif or any other image from your custom package or theme add the following snippets to your skin url.

 
_package="MyPackageName" _theme="MyCustomThemeName"

Example:

 
{{skin url="images/logo_email.gif" _area=’frontend’ _package="MyPackageName" _theme="MyCustomThemeName"}}

I have recently come across an issue when trying to add a Widget to a CMS page.
When clicking “Insert Widget” a javascript alert appeared shouting El is NULL.
The reason for this is a missing forward slash from Lib/Varien/Data/Form/Element/Editor.php Line 202.
To fix this error copy Lib/Varien/Data/Form/Element/Editor.php to app/code/local/Lib/Varien/Data/Form/Element/Editor.php
app/code/local/Lib/Varien/Data/Form/Element/Editor.php
Line 202 – Replace

‘onclick’ …

<?php
function getCartQuantity () {
$cart = Mage::getModel(’checkout/cart’)->getQuote()->getData();
if (isset($cart[’items_qty’]))
return (int)$cart[’items_qty’];
else
return 0;
}
echo getCartQuantity ().’ Item(s)’;
?>

If you would like to change the default welcome message in magento from “Welcome, Paul Donnelly” to “Hi Paul” or “Hello Mr Donnelly”, use the following snippets within
