We are receiving some requests regarding the following error:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach()
in /app/code/core/Mage/AdminNotification/Model/Feed.php on line 84

I’d like to let you know that the magentocommerce.com is down at the moment and this causes the error. It comes from the Admin Notifications native module.
We have nothing to do with this.

We are continuing active development of Featured Products. The today’s release contains the following features which have been requested by our customers:

• Ability to use any custom image. Yes, now you can upload any image to your product images and make it invisible in the catalog and product page, and only visible in the Featured products. This allows you to upload bigger banners, callouts and images of any size.
• Faster images render due to server-side image resizing – a significant performance improvement.

It also contains several bug fixes. You can find all of the information and updates on the product page.

Your feedback and feature requests are always welcome!

We announce a new release of the killer-extension – Featured Products!

In this version we re-wrote the CSS and HTML code so that the extension in completely XHTML 1.0 compliant, as well as the native Magento themes. Also, we made separate CSS for different browsers and got rid of CSS paring warnings. Other features of the release:

• Invisible products fix – they are not shown anymore
• One product can be added to several categories now
• Added ability to display a product only outside of categories, This can be useful when, e.g. you’d like to diplay only on the main page but not in categories.
• Added warnings in misconfiguration cases, more feedback from the extension to the store owner, it would say itself if there are no products to display

Unfortunately, we had to drop Magento 1.1.8 and earlier support due to layout bugs in those versions. However, you still can use Featured Products 2.0 – it’s a supported branch.

Please read the upgrade documentation, we changed the block syntax slightly so you may need to update your blocks in CSS.

As always, waiting for your feedback, feature requests and reviews!

Here is the release of another great extension – Browser Search for Magento. It’s half a module, half a browser plugin, anyway it makes your store closer to visitors and customers.

Basically, this extension allows your store visitors to add your site in the browser search engines list. PRICE & FEATURES

Our recent studies show that store visitors coming through the search box in their browser are more likely to turn into customers. The conversion rate increases up to 230%! And it’s easy to explain – people have already visited your store and liked it. Now they have an easy and comfortable way to find products in the store they liked. This traffic is very targeted and purchase-oriented, people not just browse the site, they are looking for a definite item and most likely are willing to purchase.

The extension supports Firefox2+, Internet Explorer 7+. Yes, there are other unsupported browsers, but these cover more than 70% of all used browsers (w3schools.com data) and this percent is growing fast.

Besides presenting quick search interface this extension also displays search suggestions. Please note that on slow site sites or sites with a slow search the suggestion feature may not work.

Another highly required thing for Magento – a Video extension. Despite it’s quite straightforward to create an attribute and use it, many people would like to see this functionality “out-of-box”. We decided to explore this possibility and start development of a video module. What we have now is a very simple code that adds a tab in the product configuration interface and allows to enter video embed-code. We’d like you, Magento users to contribute your ideas and needs and help us create a useful and poweful module.

The development has been started basing on this thread: http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/1432/
