Magento – What Version of Magento CE adopted Magento Connect 2.0

magento-connect

What's the first version of Magento Community edition to ship with a Magento Connect 2.0, and what's the general history of this feature?

That is, to download an extension from Magento Connect you need to choose a Magento Connect 1.0 or 2.0 URL

Which version of Magento Connect started requiring a 2.0 URL? I have vague memories of a version of CE shipping with 2.0 support built in (sometime around 1.4.2 or 1.5.0) before the 2.0 system was ready. However, I can't remember the specifics and was hoping to avoid an archeology expedition to figure this out myself.

Magento Connect Channel 2.0 support was introduced first time in CE 1.4.2.0-rc1. However, some problems arose and in rc2 it was replaced with MCC 1.0 version. It was introduced again in 1.5.0.0-alpha1 and from that time is used in all Magento releases. I believe this information is included into official Magento Connect guide.

Magento – Installing Connect 2.0 extensions via SSH

Installing via SSH:

Obtain the Connect 2.0 key via Magento Connect:

enter image description here

Ensure that mage is executable from your Magento root:

chmod +x ./mage

Execute ./mage install and paste your extension key immediately after the word 'install' - remove the slash between 'community' and your extension package name. E.g.:

./mage install http://connect20.magentocommerce.com/community OnePica_AvaTax

^ Notice the lack of a slash between 'community' and 'OnePica_AvaTax'.

To script into a deployment - issue the ./mage install command from your build. This should sync all production servers to have record of the community module install which should make removing or upgrading the module in the future scriptable as well (without necessitating a commit to your version control system).

Magento – Invalid Post Data – Magento Connect

The error appears when you try to send the form through _GET (or to much data send through POST). This code can be found in downloader/Maged/Controller.php: (connectPreparePackagePostAction and connectInstallPackagePostAction methods)

if (!$_POST) {
    echo "INVALID POST DATA";
    return;
}

Check what the $_POST variable looks like. Also check if you are not over the post_max_size limit with what you send.
