What I need is - to move the Product Options block below the addtocart block.
In the template file
Magento_Catalog/templates/product/view/detail_layout.phtml
the info is coming from
echo $block->getChildHtml('product.info') ?>
product.info block holds the data both for custom options and addtocart
I am not able to locate which file holds this data, so that I can move or switch position.
Thanks.
You need to overrule the layout options which are set by the default /vendor/magento/module-catalog/view/frontend/layout/catalog_product_view.xml file with your own theme. Add after="product.info.options.wrapper.bottom" to the product options block, like so:

I've been trying to show product details on homepage. After long hours searching on google and stackoverflow, i've come with this solution:
Mage::register('product',Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load('17'));
$block = Mage::app()->getLayout()
->createBlock('catalog/product_view')
->setData('area','frontend')
->setTemplate('catalog/product/view.phtml');
echo $block->toHtml();
It does render the catalog/product_view block but no its children, i'd like to understand how to render the children too ?
Note: my homepage as the layout "myviewer.phtml" and the code above is in "myviewer.phtml".
You are currently manually creating the product view block and not using the standard layout xml, so you are not getting any of the default child blocks that would be loaded on the product page via the product page layout handle;
catalog_product_view
Viewing this layout handle in the catalog.xml file will show you which blocks are loaded, and importantly which child blocks are added to the block named 'product.info' which usually uses the template section you are trying to render.
If you view the product page template 'catalog/product/view.phtml' that you are rendering, you will see it calls blocks that will not be available such as;
<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('addtocart') ?>
So to fix this you have two options,
Manually initialize and add each of the child blocks to the product block you are creating using the append() method.
Or
Update the controller action that was used to load and render the page to include the product page layout handle. Call the following in the controller,
$update = $this->getLayout()->getUpdate();
$update->addHandle('catalog_product_view');
This will cause the layout to include all of the correct product page child blocks, then in the template just call;
$_product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load('17');
Mage::register('product',$_product);
Mage::register('current_product',$_product);
$block = Mage::app()->getLayout()->getBlock('product.info');
echo $block->toHtml();
Adding the handle could be done in the controller which would need to be overridden using a rewrite in a custom module (there are already lots of articles on this).
Use an event observer for any event fired before the controller action.
Magento creates its block hierarchy based on its layout XML configuration. For example, the catalog/product_view block is used in the catalog.xml layout file (usually found in app/design/frontend/base/default/layout/catalog.xml). This file also defines all of the children blocks of the catalog/product_view block.
Magento decides which layout instructions to carry out depending on the active layout handles. For example, the catalog.xml file references the catalog_product_view layout handle, which corresponds to the catalog module, product controller, view action. Whenever that specific controller action is invoked, that layout is applied.
In your case, the home page is probably a CMS page, which doesn't apply the catalog_product_view layout handle (it typically applies the cms_page handle). As such, the block hierarchy is not defined correctly for you to utilize the catalog/product_view block.
There are many ways of resolving this issue, but first you have to think about exactly what you're trying to do. If you try to use the catalog/product_view block, your home page will look almost exactly like a regular product page, which may or may not be what you want. One way of achieving that is to use the <update/> tag, which takes another layout handle and merges it with the current layout handle.
I recommend reading some more into Magento's layout XML system. Alan Storm has some great resources on the subject, such as this blog post (warning, it's a bit outdated), and his book on Magento's layout system.
you can do it by inserting in CMS > Pages > Home
{{block type="catalog/product_list" name="home.catalog.product.list" alias="products_homepage" LATEST="0" template="catalog/product/list.phtml"}}
In this case you have to change in template/catalog/product/list.phtml
Find this code around in lines 74 , 133 and 180
<?php
$_nameAfterChildren = $this->getChild('name.after')->getSortedChildren();
foreach($_nameAfterChildren as $_nameAfterChildName):
Replace adding a if statement , should be something like this :
<?php
$_nameAfter = $this->getChild('name.after');
// New if here
if($_nameAfter):
$_afterChildren = $this->getChild('name.after')->getSortedChildren();
foreach($_afterChildren as $_afterChildName):
How to call a block in another block phtml file?
I have created a module to display special product.
My Question is that in featured product phtml file ,i have to check there is any special product,if present i want to display special product otherwise fetured product should be displayed.
you can call your custom block file in to another custom template files as below
<?php echo Mage::getSingleton('core/layout')->createBlock('custom/mycustomblock')->setTemplate('custom/test.phtml')->toHtml(); ?>
hope this will help you.
Create a helper class method in your custom module to check the special product condition.
your helper class will return the true or false value to your module block files (.phtml).
Call the module helper calls in using below code.
Mage::helper('yourmodule')->checkSpecialProduct();
try this one.
Is it possible to change the complete theme inside an action of an ActionController?
Well theoratically yes as Loadlayout is called in controller.
You use remove blocks if needed refer Programatically remove block from layout and also by using create blocks you can add blocks..
Yes, probably before layout gets rendered.
But better to make it over session + redirect and default
$mageRunCode with store code.
Mage::run($mageRunCode, $mageRunType);
at the end of index.php
I'm trying to display a static block in Magento as a popup window, but can't seem to get the code to work.
I've found code in various places on the internet that seems to be fairly close to what I want but I can't get any results. I've used the basic code to return the "top links" to my site so I know that the basics work.
I've created a delpopup.php script in my Magento root folder and put in this code:
<?php
require_once('app/Mage.php');
umask(0);
$layout = Mage::app()
->getLayout();
$layout
->getUpdate()
->addHandle('default')
->load();
$layout
->generateXml()
->generateBlocks();
echo '<p>before</p>';
echo $layout
->createBlock('cms/block')
->setBlockId('delivery-info')
->toHtml();
echo '<p>after</p>';
?>
Unfortunately the code doesn't display the static block. That part of the output is blank.
The idea is that I can place a link in a regular page in Magento and have my delivery into pop up. Like this:
<a title="" onclick="popWin('http://www.mysite.com.au/delpopup.php', 'deliveryinfo', 'width=300,height=300,left=0,top=0,location=no,status=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes'); return false;" href="#">Delivery Info</a>
Basically I want to be able to display a static block in a popup window that uses my Magento site's theme. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
As I thought, the problems lies on incorrect Block Id.
Now that the cms is able to be shown.
So now the question is: how to get the theme work?
Not really sure what do you mean by theme, if what you mean is css that was included in <default> tag, you can use:
Mage::getDesign()->setTheme('your theme');
echo $layout->getBlock('head')->toHtml();
After the xml has been finished generated, it means put that code after:
$layout
->generateXml()
->generateBlocks();
I'd first setup a controller and block(s) to render the type of layout that you want to throw within the popup. So, instead of doing this within a standalone php file, do it within the regular mage framework within a specific controller action.
Then, once you have that working - the question is how to pull it into a popup. I'd go with maybe a nice jquery popup widget that allows you to specify a URL to hit - and then just pass in the one that you prepped for step 1 above.
You may want to look at adminhtml/default/default/template/popup.phtml for inspiration. That's actually a popup template for the admin, not the frontend, but you can see what they've done.
They're pulling in some standard magento blocks including the head block, which should pull in all your CSS and JS, in order to give you the general color scheme / look&feel of your frontend, but without all of the navigation, etc.
I have not been able to figure this out for the life of me. I wanted to show the order review step(final step before processing the order) right away on the one page checkout in Magento. Any suggestions? Thanks all.
If you look at the bottom of onepage.phtml, you will see
<?php if($this->getActiveStep()): ?>
accordion.openSection('opc-<?php echo $this->getActiveStep() ?>');
<?php endif; ?>
which calls Mage_Checkout_Block_Onepage::getActiveStep() to determine which step to show first. You can override this by creating your own onepage.phtml in your theme and changing the block above to be:
accordion.openSection('opc-review');
However, the openSection function only executes if the target element ('opc-review') in this case, has a class of "allow" which is set by Magento's AJAX once the previous checkout steps are completed. You could manually add the "allow" class using prototype, but once you get the step to display, you'll see that it is empty, since the AJAX hasn't populated the content based on the previous steps as the previous steps haven't happened yet!
So... You could create a new block based on Cart.php and insert that into onepage.phtml using $this->getChildHtml('block-id') and the layout xml. You would need to insert it inside the ol#checkoutSteps as an li#opc-summary.section allow or something like that, and make the js change above to be accordion.openSection('opc-summary');
That's the best I can do at the moment for you. HTH,
