Add Date field with Datepicker in Magento Contact Form

Magento has a built in library for calendar functionalities. However the calendar library is available only on Admin pages like Custom Module, Customer Account view page, etc. We can extend the prototype Javascript library's calendar functions to frontend.

Edit the page.xml file in your current theme in the directory app/design/frontend/default/your-theme/layout/page.xml Around line 61 add the below lines in between

js_csscalendar/calendar-win2k-1.css
jscalendar/calendar.js
jscalendar/calendar-setup.js

This will include the calendar library functions in the page head of all front end pages.

Now add Date Field to your contact form

    <?php echo Mage::helper('contacts')->__('DOB') ?>
    

         
        
    
 

Next step would be to add Javascript code at bottom of contact form template file. The id of the date input field and calendar image should be the same. The javascript code shown below should be added below the contact form coding.

Magento Product Question

You wish to give users the option to quickly ask a question about a particular product then this simple extension will do the trick. This will present the user with a contact form with the product in question liked to at the top. You can download extension from here

Install the extension in the normal manner. To add the question you will need to edit your product page. Add the following where you wish to code to appear.

/app/design/frontend/default/your_theme/template/catalog/product/view.phtml

<?php if(Mage::getStoreConfigFlag('productquestion/productquestion/enabled')):
$url = $this->helper("productquestion")->getAddUrl($_product);
?>
        <?php echo $this->__('Ask a question about this product') ?>
 <?php endif; ?>

Magento: Getting product attributes values and labels

I have found that it is very useful to be able to get attributes from the system and use them in places other than a products category page. This is how to get a drop down lists options. I don't think it will work for a mulit-select attribute. I stick the value/label pairs into an array to use how I please.

$attribute = Mage::getModel('eav/config')->getAttribute('catalog_product', 'attribute_id');

foreach ( $attribute->getSource()->getAllOptions(true, true) as $option){
 $attributeArray[$option['value']] = $option['label'];
}

I had a trickier time getting values for a multi-select attribute. I don't think that this is the best method, but it is one that worked for me. First the multi-select attribute must be set to be used in the advanced search. You can set this in the manage attributes area.

$attributes = Mage::getModel('catalogsearch/advanced')->getAttributes();
$attributeArray=array();

foreach($attributes as $a){
 if($a->getAttributeCode() == 'desired_attribute_code'){
  foreach($a->getSource()->getAllOptions(false) as $option){
   $attributeArray[$option['value']] = $option['label'];
  }
 }
}

Here is a better way to get the multi-select attribute values.

$attributeId = Mage::getResourceModel('eav/entity_attribute')
->getIdByCode('catalog_product','attribute_code_here');

$attribute = Mage::getModel('catalog/resource_eav_attribute')
->load($attributeId);

$attributeOptions = $attribute ->getSource()->getAllOptions();

If you only need to retrieve a value for a product you can try this way

//Referenced from /app/code/core/Mage/Eav/Model/Config/php @ line 443
$_product->getResource()->getAttribute('club_type')
->getFrontend()->getValue($_product)

The code below will get an attribure collection. Set {entityType} to 4 to get attributes for products. You can remove the "setCodeFilters" line if you want to get all the attributes. To get anything really useful you will probably need to get the resulting attribute ids and do someting with them, like use them in a filter for the products collection or something.

$attributesInfo = Mage::getResourceModel('eav/entity_attribute_collection')
->setEntityTypeFilter({entityType})
->setCodeFilter($attributes)
->addSetInfo()
->getData();

Delete an attribute associated with a configurable product?

Go to table catalog_product_super_attribute and search with the condition

product_id= < "id of your configurable product">.

This will list all the attributes associated with this particular configurable product. Find the record with the corresponding attribute_id and delete it.

How To Simultaneously Add Multiple Products To A Magento Shopping Cart

Magento's product list view lets customers add products to the shopping cart one at a time. I wanted customers to be able to add multiple products to the shopping cart simultaneously. I created an adhoc AJAX method to accomplish this feature request. Adding a product to a Magento shopping cart is accomplished through an HTTP GET request. It will look like or similar to this:

/path/to/app/checkout/cart/add?product=[id]&qty=[qty] 

That URL is output by the tem­plate helper:

$this->getAddToCartUrl($_product)

Since adding a product to the shopping cart is nothing more than a GET request, then all that needs to be done is queue up the URLs of the desired products, make each request in order, and then reload the page when done. First, in app/design/frontend/default/your-theme/template/catalog/product/list.html, I first added checkboxes to allow customers to select which products they want and also hidden fields for storing the URLs to add the product and text fields for the quantity.

<?php $_iterator = $_product->getId(); >?


<?php if(!$_product->isGrouped()): ?>

<?php endif; ?>

I added this code within the loop that generate the HTML for the product line items for the list. Next, I added the JavaScript that does the actual processing, also within the list section right after the script block that contains: decorateList('products-list', 'none-recursive').

At the bottom of the list I added a submit button.

Processing... 

Clicking the button calls the function addItemsToCart(). The function hides the button to prevent a double click and unhides the status message. Next, the function determines which checkboxes are checked. For each checked checkbox, the function finds the corresponding URL field and quantity field, concatenates the two values, and stores the new URL in an array. If the length of the array is greater than 0, then the function calls processNext(), otherwise it displays an error message and resets the submit button.

The function processNext() first updates the process­ing message. The function takes the array of URLs and an index, and then creates an AJAX GET request using the URL at the given index in the array. If the AJAX request completes, it calls processNext() with the same array but with an incremented index while the index is less than the array length. If the incremented index is greater than the array length, then that ends the processing and the function reloads the page.

 That's it.

Magento: set number of products in new products

You can set number of products to be displayed in new product in your new.phtml file. Find:

 <?php $i=0; foreach ($_products->getItems() as $_product): ?>

and add above, so the code looks like this:

    <?php $_products->setOrder('news_from_date')->setPageSize(6)
  ->setCurPage(1);?>
    >?php $i=0; foreach ($_products->getItems() as $_product): ?>

Set the number (6) as you like. Or you can display all new product by $size = $_products->getSize(); set the number ($size). On the other hand you can set this number in administration on home cms page. Under Custom desing set the code for new products to look like this:

    
    8
    
    bundle
    bundle/catalog_product_price
    
    
    
    

Just set the number in tags.

Magento Cron error: /bin/sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'

I got below error in my mail when i set up cron for magento.

/bin/sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
/bin/sh: -c: line 0: `php /home/pooja/public_html/magento/journal/cron1.php >'

I found solution for that is i remove newline space from my cron1.php file.
and its work.

Magento: Add to cart button every where

Sometime you need to add “Add to cart” button outside the product details view. So, you can’t use
getAddToCartUrl($product)

Don’t worry, you can use this code instead for:

echo Mage::helper('checkout/cart')->getAddUrl($_item)

Product images not uploading

When trying to upload an image for the product the section with the image name gets a red border and an error message appears.
When trying to upload something for the downloadable products same error found.


Here is what I did to fix it:
The problem seems to be caused by the prototype v1.7.
It works great with prototype 1.6
Get the 1.6 version from here http://prototypejs.org/assets/2009/8/31/prototype.js
or get it from older magento version.


Create this file: js/prototype/prototype1.6.js and put the contents from the link above in it.
Now edit app/design/adminhtml/default/default/layout/main.xml and change this line

prototype/prototype.js
with
prototype/prototype1.6.js


I don’t think it’s a problem if you edit this core file.  


I hope this helps someone

Magento: this.images.toJSON is not a function

If you can’t upload your images to product. And you get this error: {Object}.toJSON is not a function in firebug console. This issue will be fix easily if you add $H() to your object.

Using collection in Magento for database manipulation

Basically a collection is a model type that contains other model.In other words we can say a collection is basically a set of models in magento. These Models are used to manipulate database as per our requirement.

With the collection we will get the data from database. Here is the simplest way to do this.

//  Creating model object on which we want to do manipulation
$model = Mage::getModel("customer/account_history");
 
// Generating Collection of above model.
 $collection = $model->getCollection();
 
//We are adding filter on collection that
// we want the data of currently logged in user only.
$collection->addCustomerFilter(Mage::registry('current_customer')->getId());
 
//Adding where condition into the query
 $collection->addFieldToFilter('status', array('neq' => '0'));
 
// Adding order by clause to the mysql query through collection
$collection->getSelect()->order(new Zend_Db_Expr('created_time DESC'));
 
// Adding limit to mysql query through collection
$collection->getSelect()->limit(100);
 
//Below code will  print full mysql query for you so that you can see it
echo $collection->getSelect();
 
// Now use your collection. Simply loop through it
$this->setCollection($collection);

Now you can use this above collection to get your intended data

// Looping collection to get data
foreach($collection as $product) {
var_dump($product->getData());
}

Fatal error: Call to undefined method Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Widget::getrowurl()

If you getting blank pages or fatal errors on MANAGE CATEGORIES page, then here is the solution :

Go To app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/Block/Widget/Grid.php

Search function getRowUrl in the file.

public function getRowUrl($item)
{
$res = parent::getRowUrl($item);
return ($res ? $res : '#');
}

Replace this function with below function:

public function getRowUrl($row) 
{ 
return $this->getUrl('*/*/edit', array('instance_id' => $row->getId())); 
}

Permanently change the ‘view x items per page’ in the admin backend from the default of 20

In sections like CMS->Static Blocks, CMS->Pages, Catalog->Manage Product etc.  if you have more than 20 items magento will split them into multiple pages of results.

The fix itself is pretty easy, just open up:

app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/Block/Widget/Grid.php




Somewhere near the top of the file (around line 70) you'll find the following code:

protected $_defaultLimit    = 20;

Replace it with: 

protected $_defaultLimit    = 999;

As your updating a core file within Magento this change will be overwritten every time you upgrade your magento so you'll have to go back and alter it again after each upgrade. 

If you want to add new page no to pager than open file 

app\design\adminhtml\default\default\template\widget\grid.phtml




Somewhere in the file (around line 81) you'll find the select tag code and copy option line and paste with your desire page no.

Magento Code to get General Store Information

Most of the time we want to access Store Contact info at different places of our magento site to do this we have a very simple and useful code i.e

echo Mage::getStoreConfig('general/store_information');

This code will fetch you an array containing complete store which is provided at backend From System->Configuration->General->Store Information. use address

echo Mage::getStoreConfig('general/store_information/address'); 

use phone no

echo Mage::getStoreConfig('general/store_information/phone'); 

or you can get using

$info = Mage::getStoreConfig('general/store_information');
store name : $info['name']
store address : $info['address']
store Phone : $info['phone']

Magento: Adding New attributes in Category General Information

Add Below code to any file and change with my_attribute to your attribute than run that file. so for example if you past it in category/view.phtml file than open any category page from frontside and Attribute was created. see in backend category page. it will be done dont forgot to remove this code from that file after attribute was created.

$setup = new Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Setup('core_setup');
$setup->addAttribute('catalog_category', 'my_attribute', array(
    'group'         => 'General',
    'input'         => 'text',
    'type'          => 'varchar',
    'label'         => 'My Attribute',
    'backend'       => '',
    'visible'       => 1,
    'required'      => 0,
    'user_defined' => 1,
    'global'        => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_GLOBAL,
));

you can use it If it is a text field (textbox or textarea), this is all you have to do:

echo $_product->getMyAttribute()

If you are using a dropdown or a multiple select, you have to call it a little differently:

echo $_product->getAttributeText('my_attribute')

Magento: Remove auto Breaks("br/") from product description

By Default Magento automatically adds

html tags to product descriptions for display on the customer interface.  If you have created a nice description with the WYSIWYG Editor or imported HTML descriptions you most likely want to remove this behavior.   Luckily this is not hard to do.

1. Find the file "description.phtml" here:  app/design/frontend/default/ 
2. Remove the "nl2br" tag

Before:

helper('catalog/output')->productAttribute($this->getProduct(), 
nl2br($this->getProduct()->getDescription()), 'description') ?>

After:

helper('catalog/output')->productAttribute($this->getProduct(),   
$this->getProduct()->getDescription()), 'description' ?>

Improve the Speed of Your Magento Site

Caching is useful for files on a web server that very rarely change. Images, pdf files and other content can be cached, reducing the network traffic between the server, the client, and the HTTP proxies in between them.

Change in your .htaccess file and it will improve your site speed.

Note: first backup your htaccess file.

Find this:

            if ((int)$this->getDiscountAmount() < 0) {
                        Mage::throwException(Mage::helper('rule')->__('Invalid discount amount.'));
           }

Just add some bars // to comment the code: it look like this

            //if ((int)$this->getDiscountAmount() < 0) {
                        //Mage::throwException(Mage::helper('rule')->__('Invalid discount amount.'));
            //}

2). Now go to: app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/Block/Promo/Quote/Edit/Tab/Actions.php

find this

            'class' => 'validate-not-negative-number',

and coomment it

            //'class' => 'validate-not-negative-number',

3). Translate the discount word. Go to app/locale/es_ES (I'm using the Spainish translation so maybe yours would be en_US) Find a file called Mage_Sales.csv. Inside look for the word discount you will find something like:

            "Discount (%s)","Discount (%s)"

You can change the value in order to show your own text. For example:

            "Discount (%s)","Extra Fee (%s)"

4). If you want to apply this rule to whole cart than do this goto app\code\core\Mage\SalesRule\Model\validator.php find this below code it is near to line 280 to 300.

case 'cart_fixed':
            $cartRules = $address->getCartFixedRules();
             if (!isset($cartRules[$rule->getId()]) > 0) {
                        $cartRules[$rule->getId()] = $rule->getDiscountAmount();
             }
             if ($cartRules[$rule->getId()]) {

replace by

case 'cart_fixed':
            $cartRules = $address->getCartFixedRules();
            if (!isset($cartRules[$rule->getId()])) {
                        $cartRules[$rule->getId()] = $rule->getDiscountAmount();
            }
            if ($cartRules[$rule->getId()]) {

Add WYSIWYG editor to admin custom field

To enable the editor for a certain editable textfield, just use 'wysiwyg' => true, instead of 'wysiwyg' => false. and add 'config' => Mage::getSingleton('cms/wysiwyg_config')->getConfig(). i.e.:

$fieldset->addField('description', 'editor', array(
'name' => 'description',
'label' => Mage::helper('sevents')->__('Description'),
'title' => Mage::helper('sevents')->__('Description'),
'style' => 'height:12em;width:500px;',
'wysiwyg' => false,
'required' => true,
));

After Change

$fieldset->addField('description', 'editor', array(
'name' => 'description',
'label' => Mage::helper('sevents')->__('Description'),
'title' => Mage::helper('sevents')->__('Description'),
'style' => 'height:12em;width:500px;',
'wysiwyg' => true,
'required' => true,
'config' => Mage::getSingleton('cms/wysiwyg_config')->getConfig(),
));

also add this to your controller initAction() before return.

if (Mage::getSingleton('cms/wysiwyg_config')->isEnabled()) {
 $this->getLayout()->getBlock('head')->setCanLoadTinyMce(true);
}

That's all done.

Magento Category List

To display all root category list add this code to your file where you want display category.

$category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load(2);
$subcategory = $category->getAllChildren(true);
array_shift($subcategory);
if($subcategory!=null)
{
 foreach ($subcategory as $sub)
    {
        $sub1 = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load( $sub);
        echo $sub1->getUrl();
        echo $sub1->getName();
        echo $sub1->getImageUrl();
    }
}
