UPDATE #2:

Added the getApiEndpoint() method and overrode the uspsSubmitRequest() method in the Helper/Data.php. Basically cheating like crazy to get the domain name and it's IP address so our server will use that instead of the humanized domain name. This is a bandaid approach specific to our client and their internal DNS issues, so I wouldn't suggest using that getApiEndpoint() method unless absolutely necessary.

Overview

Recently had a client that wanted to customize the layout for a category landing page so that the category's title and description would be displayed above the layered navigation and product grid — essentially creating a full-width section above the left sidebar and main content areas.

NOTE: For reference, this is based off the blog post from Collaboration133.com's Magento - Add Custom Structural Block Reference.

Custom Module (My_LayoutMods)

I created a custom module to help organize and identify that there are some custom modifications to layout templates. Not saying you have to, but it may be easier for other's (or your future self) to recognize and find what customizations were done (and hopefully why).

I always forget the steps, but it's pretty simple:

Steps:

• Download the IonCube Loaders
• Check your PHP version to find which IonCube loader you should use
• Check your PHP configuration for the extension_dir
• Copy the IonCube Loader into the PHP extension directory
