The iphone theme uses the same theming and layout principles as any other Magento theme so you should be able to add a local.xml file to your layout folder and use it to remove unwanted layout elements. If you are unfamiliar with Magento layouts, check our other articles in our layout series.

I just checked on my Magento 1.6.2 install and I can clearly see the big orange “Proceed To Checkout” button on the mobile iphone theme when browsing with a mobile device. You should check your site in Safari set to emulate an iPhone user agent (as outlined in the article) and inspect your page to see if the code for the button is present in the HTML. It may be that you’re missing the button image? This could be the case if you made a copy of the iphone design theme and renamed it but didn’t create a similar skin folder? You need to provide more detail about your situation if you want help to resolve it.

Comment on Improving the File Cache Backend by Jerome

Hello

Yes the new directories “tags” are empty via ftp like fizilla but the directories are not empty.. you can see the files in directory with WinSCP by example

Jerome,

As Vinai suggests in point 3). “use the curl option to call the Magento cron.php script (see the previous comments for more info)”.

If you google “setting CRON jobs with Curl” it will provide a clearer understanding.

I asked our support team at RackSpace to set it up (cause we’re rubbish at that sort of stuff).

Severa possibilites Jerome,

1) set apc.enable_cli = 1 in you php.in (not recommended unless your crontab runs as the apache user)
2) use the file cache backend for the cron calls with a different cache directory (fiddly to set up)
3) use the curl option to call the Magento cron.php script (see the previous comments for more info)
