I suspected that the problem is one of the plugins but I had at least 50 installed .
In order to see who’s the slowest I opened wp-includes/plugin.php and temprary changed the do_action function to something like this:

function do_action($tag, $arg = '') {
	global $wp_filter, $wp_actions, $merged_filters, $wp_current_filter;
 
	if ( ! isset($wp_actions) )
		$wp_actions = array();
 
	if ( ! isset($wp_actions[$tag]) )
		$wp_actions[$tag] = 1;
	else
		++$wp_actions[$tag];
 
	$wp_current_filter[] = $tag;
 
	// Do 'all' actions first
	if ( isset($wp_filter['all']) ) {
		$all_args = func_get_args();
		_wp_call_all_hook($all_args);
	}
 
	if ( !isset($wp_filter[$tag]) ) {
		array_pop($wp_current_filter);
		return;
	}
 
	$args = array();
	if ( is_array($arg) && 1 == count($arg) && isset($arg[0]) && is_object($arg[0]) ) // array(&$this)
		$args[] =& $arg[0];
	else
		$args[] = $arg;
	for ( $a = 2; $a < func_num_args(); $a++ )
		$args[] = func_get_arg($a);
 
	// Sort
	if ( !isset( $merged_filters[ $tag ] ) ) {
		ksort($wp_filter[$tag]);
		$merged_filters[ $tag ] = true;
	}
 
	reset( $wp_filter[ $tag ] );
 
	do {
		foreach ( (array) current($wp_filter[$tag]) as $the_ ) {
 
			if ( !is_null($the_['function']) ) {
                if($tag=='init') $time_start = microtime(true);
				call_user_func_array($the_['function'], array_slice($args, 0, (int) $the_['accepted_args']));
                if($tag=='init') {
                    $time_end = microtime(true);$time = $time_end - $time_start;
                    echo print_r($the_['function']).' -----  <b>'.$time."</b><br>\n";
                }                
            }
        }
 
	} while ( next($wp_filter[$tag]) !== false );
 
	array_pop($wp_current_filter);
}

after this you’ll be able to see what plugin is eating the most of your time (after each function call you’ll see execution time in bold)

It’s not a mature script just a quick snippet to have a starting point for someone who runs into the same problem.

The solution is having another div that is inside the one you already have with an opacity applyed to it.
The HTML:

<div class="normalDiv">
  <div class="transparentBorder">&nbsp;</div>
  our content here,
</div>

The CSS:

.transparentBorder{border: 10px solid #363636;
    position: absolute; top: -10px; left: -10px; height: 100%; width: 100%;
    opacity: 0.34;filter:alpha(opacity=34);
    z-index: -10;
}
.normalDiv {position: relative; width: 500px; height: 300px; text-align: center; font-size: 13px; color; #363636;}

See the DEMO for transparent borders

<div class="clearfix" style="width: 100%;">
<div style="width: 30%; float: left;">left content</div>
<div style="width: 60%; float: right;">right content</div>
</div>

the problem occurs when bellow this code you want to have a footer for instance. To work in all the browser most of front end developers will clear the space like this:

<div style="clear:both;font-size:1px;">&nbsp;</div>

a better solution is to just use css and don’t worry about additional ugly and useless html code
just add the following code inside your stylesheet:

 
.clearfix:after {
    content: '.';
    display: block;
    clear: both;
    visibility: hidden;
    line-height: 0px;
    height: 0px;
}
 
 
.clearfix {
    display: inline-block; 
}
 
html[xmlns] .clearfix {
    display: block;
}
 
* html .clearfix {
    height: 1%;
}
.clearfix { display:block; }

last line is for opera – don’t know why it doesn’t like this clearfix so I made it to like it

*{outline:none;}

however… on firefox the outline still appers on buttons and submit buttons. To fix this just add:

input::-moz-focus-inner, button::-moz-focus-inner { border: 0; }

save it as git-extract and use it as:

git-extract from_old_commit_hash..to_new_commit_hash

table name: products
field name from table products: category_ids (the comma separated list of categories)

let’s assume that we want to search all products for a certain category. the first idea will be to use the IN mysql function: (I will note {$var} as an external variable)

SELECT * FROM products WHERE {$category_id} IN category_ids

however it won’t work so this statement should be used:
SELECT * FROM products WHERE category_ids REGEXP ‘^{$category_id},|,{$category_id},|,{$category_id}$|^{$category_id}$’

The solution is to execute the following statements inside phpMyAdmin:
ALTER TABLE catalog_category_entity ENGINE=INNODB
ALTER TABLE core_store ENGINE=INNODB

Don’t forget the table prefixes if you have!

If you get a similar error but another table please note that this error is related to foreign indexes and occurs most offten when you move the magento database from a server to another.

I am taking the above example, the table catalog_category_flat_store_1. This table has 2 foreign keys one to catalog_category_entity and the other .. you guessed: core_store.

that’s why I executed:
ALTER TABLE catalog_category_entity ENGINE=INNODB
ALTER TABLE core_store ENGINE=INNODB

update: qdpm supports gantt charts from version 5.5

Here is what I found:

1. Clockingi.com, http://www.clockingit.com/  has nice graphical reports, gantt charts and svn support

2. Codeni, http://www.codendi.com from XEROX, supports svn/cvs repository browsing and gantt charts, seems a complex and mature product

3. Collabtive, http://collabtive.o-dyn.de/, it’s a simple, lightweight project management too, useful for a very small team or a freelancer

4. project-open, http://www.project-open.org/

5. endeavour, http://endeavour-mgmt.sourceforge.net, you can check it’s features here: http://endeavour-mgmt.sourceforge.net/features1.html

6. Redmine, http://www.redmine.org/, gantt charts, integrations with SVN, CVS, Mercurial, etc.. written in Ruby on Rails

so first step is adding what we need before the </head>:

<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.validate.pack.js">

now just after the above code we add our regex method:

<script type="text/javascript">
$.validator.addMethod(
 "regex",
 function(value, element, regexp) {
 var check = false;
 var re = new RegExp(regexp);
 return this.optional(element) || re.test(value);
 },
 "Please check your input"
);
</script>

and the final thing is ading the validation we need – you can use php to add them from the database for instance:

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#myFieldId").rules("add", {regex: "^(0|[1-9][0-9]*|[1-9][0-9]{0,2}(,[0-9]{3,3})*)$"});
})
</script>

After a lot of headaches and a cofee I manage to detect what was wrong:
Presta uses in the email class a variable $templateVars
this was like:

$templateVars = array(
‘{date_facturare}’ =>
‘Nume Firma: ‘.$invoice->company.’<br>’.
‘Cod fiscal: ‘.$invoice->tax_code.’<br>’.
‘Registrul Comertului: ‘.$invoice->reg_data.’<br>’.
‘IBAN: ‘.$customer->iban.’<br>’,
‘CNP: ‘.$invoice->cnp.’<br>’,
‘{firstname}’ => $customer->firstname,
‘{lastname}’ => $customer->lastname, …

However the problem was because of a , instead of .
'IBAN: '.$customer->iban.'<br>',
should have been:
'IBAN: '.$customer->iban.'<br>'.

Because of the wrong “,”, $templateVars[0] was taking a long value and apparently Swift Mailer was appending it to the header date of the email hence the error with the overlength date field.
