Just yesterday, at precisely the time of writing this post (8:05 p.m. EST), I expected to be introducing you to joyful photos and videos from the launch site, but alas! The launch of Antares to the ISS has been postponed again. It has already been postponed at least five times, and now, the news caught up with me almost en route to the east coast. I won’t go tomorrow, it’s a workday and all, they’ve really worn me out, feeding us promises for almost half a year. I hope to watch the recording, hoping that this time it won’t be like the last, when their rocket exploded at launch and the launch site was being repaired and cleaned for a year.

Blog update. I created an extension that allows managing text content via the back office. Yes, you heard right, Hybris doesn’t manage all content “out of the box.” For example, if your site displays a message on the homepage somewhere in the footer, it might turn out that to fix it, you’ll need to bother developers and wait a week for a new release.

In the blog, I explain how to make all these thousands of messages (actually, more than 2000 for a typical store) manageable through the back office.

It seems like a simple task, every partner made such a module for themselves. Partners, don’t jump to conclusions – your modules are most likely incompatible with Hybris templates, and you also had to tweak those templates to make everything work as intended. At least, those are the only implementations I’ve come across. My solution is 100% compatible, no need to touch the templates, with zero loss in performance.

– Mom, can I try on your shoes?

– No. My shoes are off-limits!)

– Mooom, please!

– No, Lisa, I don’t allow it.

– Pleeease!

– No.

– Well, isn’t it better that I try them now rather than when you’re not home?

– Hmm…

Just like me!

UPDATE: And here are those shoes: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10154483432072368&set=p.10154483432072368&type=3&theater
