Error 503: Service Temporarily Unavailable Magento

We can come across a situation in magento where we are presented with the following message,
"Service Temporarily Unavailable  The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later."

This happens because when Magento is performing certain tasks, it temporarily creates a file called maintenance.flag. Magento automatically deletes this file when the task is complete.
But when the task is incomplete or something wrong happen in between, then this file remains there.
Magento checks for its existence and if found redirects to error 503 page.

So, the solution is to check if the file maintenance.flag is in magento root. If it is there, then delete it.

Cheers!!

Prestashop Add canonical and hreflang for multi-language website

The cannonical and hreflang tags are useful if our store is multi-language. It avoids duplication of url for each store and helps the site SEO by mentioning the url of different languages. This will indicate to the google crawlers which is the alternative link for each languages and / or geographical areas where the online store and the canonical url of the product are available, category, manufacturer list, which in many cases will be very useful. We can add the cannonical and hreflang tags on prestashop at the header.tpl template file. The template files are under theme/yourthemename folder.

Special Character (Zero-width joiner)

The zero-width joiner (ZWJ) is a non-printing character used in the computerized typesetting of some complex scripts such as the Arabic script or any Indic script. When placed between two characters that would otherwise not be connected, a ZWJ causes them to be printed in their connected forms. It means it doesnot take additional space. It is   &zwj; Useful when we need to output some html that don't need space. In some editors like tinymce, when we put the html that don't contain space then it will not save that html and will remove it from editor. For eg: <a href=".."></a> When we try to save the above html on tinymce editor, it will remove it from the content because it doen't have any character inside it. So, to overcome that problem we can use this special zero-width joiner character in between. It is a character that don't output extra space.  <a href="..">&zwj;</a> Happy coding!!!
