How to replace my custom template for product detail page in Magento2? - magento

I need to replace my custom template for product detail page in magento2.
I have followed this link and updated my code but it is not working.
In my module, I have added catalog_product_view.xml and below code.
Mynamespace\Catalog\view\frontend\layout\catalog_product_view.xml
<referenceContainer name="content">
<block class="Mynamepace\Catalog\Block\Product\View\Article" name="product.view.art" template="Mynamespace_Catalog::product\view\article.phtml">
</block>
</referenceContainer>
This is not working. Can anyone suggest what I am missing here?
My Block Code:
Mynamepace\Catalog\Block\Product\View\Article.php
<?php
namespace Mynamespace\Catalog\Block\Product\View;
use Magento\Catalog\Block\Product\AbstractProduct;
class Article extends AbstractProduct
{
public function showPages()
{
return 'Article';
}
}
My phtml - Mynamespace\Catalog\view\frontend\templates\product\view\article.phtml
I am in Article
<?php
My Module.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../../../../../lib/internal/Magento/Framework/Module/etc/module.xsd">
<module name="Mynamespace_Catalog" setup_version="1.0.0" schema_version="1.0.0">
<sequence>
<module name="Magento_Catalog"/>
</sequence>
</module>
</config>
Please tell me if I have missed something Or at least tell me how to debug this code.

I see a wrong syntax on your layout file Mynamespace\Catalog\view\frontend\layout\catalog_product_view.xml
template="Mynamespace_Catalog::product\view\article.phtml"
Change it to:
template="Mynamespace_Catalog::product/view/article.phtml"

Magento2: save new order by different order status

I've created a new payment gateway but I would like to save a different order status
registration.php
<?php
\Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::register(
\Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::MODULE,
'Vendor_CustomPayment',
__DIR__
);
etc/config.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../../Store/etc/config.xsd">
<default>
<payment>
<custompayment>
<payment_action>authorize</payment_action>
<is_gateway>1</is_gateway>
<model>Vendor\CustomPayment\Model\PaymentMethod</model>
<active>1</active>
<title>Pay with Credit Card</title>
<order_status>Pending</order_status>
</custompayment>
</payment>
</default>
However, when I try to make order I doesn't see Pending status but Processing
I've solved by my self adding this variable in the Payment Model:
protected $_isInitializeNeeded = true;
this code overrides Order::STATE_PROCESSING defined in: Magento\Sales\Model\Order\Payment

Magento custom module - unable to call block method from template

I'm working on a custom module to display CMS content. I have a custom front controller which is working as expected. I'm able to call various front actions from the controller. I am using an existing template, which is also displaying as it should. I'm also loading a layout update xml file, from which I was able to remove the product menu, which I don't need, and add a reference block for my custom block's template file.
I know the correct template override file is loading, as I'm testing with the following:
<?php echo __FILE__ . " loaded <br>"; ?>
Which is echoing the correct filename.
However, when I call my custom block method from that same template file, I get nothing.
My module namespace/module is Cmpreshn/Projects. Following is what I have so far:
Config file in
app/code/local/Cmpreshn/Projects/etc/config.xml

parent::__construct();
echo "projects list block constructor called<br>";
} // end constructor
public function getProjectsList() {
echo "getProjectsList called <br>";
return("getProjectsList called");
}
} // end class
As I mentioned previously, I am getting the output from the first line of my list.phtml template file, but no output from my custom block method, and no indication that my block is loading (no output from block _construct() method either )
Any help is appreciated. I'm ready to pull my eyes out over this...
I just observed your code and found the following errors:
Registeration of block in registering module file (config.xml) seems wrong.
<global>
<blocks>
<projects>
<class>Cmpreshn_Projects_Block</class> <!-- Not Projects_Block_List -->
</projects>
</blocks>
</global>
The type attribute is wrong in Block element of layout file (projects.xml). You should not call page/html instead you should call projects/list.
There might be more typos. but I could found the above two only. I hope this solves your problem.
change the block type to projects/list in your projects.XML file like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<layout version="0.1.0">
<projects_projects_list>
<remove name="top.menu"/>
<reference name="content">
<block type="projects/list" name="page" template="cmpreshn/projects/list.phtml/>
</reference>
</projects_projects_list>
</layout>
you may get the output now.

Magento not displaying custom block

I'm trying to have just a little "hello world" like module to learn how to make modules. I've got a fairly fresh install of Magento 1.7 on a Mac OSX 10.6 local server. I'm following Pierrefay's Turtorial and I cant get the block to display. I've been all over the web, but nothing has worked. The module's page just shows the default look with the 'dog' and the 'Back to School' ad. I've got Alan's Layoutviewer module. I'm currently in debug mode and emptying the cache like mad. I have already told Mag. not to cache anything,anyway. I've managed to reach the point where I'm not generating error messages (I'm also in debug mode and have execption.log and system.log pulled up).
My Controller:
<?php
class Nationwide_Cartonplugin_IndexController extends Mage_Core_Controller_Front_Action {
public function indexAction ()
{
$this->loadLayout();
$this->renderLayout();
//var_dump(Mage::getSingleton('core/layout')->getUpdate()->getHandles());
//exit("bailing early at ".__LINE__." in ".__FILE__);
//echo "Carton Exists";
//Mage::log(
// $this->getLayout()->getUpdate()->getHandles(),
// null, ‘layout.log’ );
//Mage::log(
// $this->getLayout()->getUpdate()->asString(),
// null, ‘layout.log’ );
}
public function mamethodeAction ()
{
echo 'test mymethod';
}
}
My Config:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
<modules>
<Nationwide_Cartonplugin>
<version>1.1.0</version>
</Nationwide_Cartonplugin>
</modules>
<global>

</cartonplugin>
</routers>
<layout>
<updates>
<cartonplugin>
<file>carton.xml</file>
</cartonplugin>
</updates>
</layout>
</frontend>
</config>
My Layout: (frontend/default/nationwide/layout/carton.xml)(I'm using default & nationwide in the admin setup)
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout version="0.1.0">

<reference name="content">
<block output="toHtml" type="cartonplugin/myblock" name="myblock"
template="cartonplugin/cartondisplay.phtml"/>
</reference>
</cartonplugin_index_index>
</layout>
Uncomenting the references generate a "not valid template" error.
My Template: (frontend/default/nationwide/template/cartonplugin/cartondisplay.phtml)
<?php

</html>
My block:
<?php
class Nationwide_Cartonplugin_Block_Myblock extends Mage_Core_Block_Template
{
public function methodcarblock()
{
return 'informations about my block !!';
}
}
It seems I follow everying on the web and nothing still works, other than echoing from the index action. I would greatly appreciate any help.
You are getting no errors when uncommenting because Magento just doesn't try to call the block :) So this a silent error...
Indeed, as says the error, Magento is trying to reach file frontend/base/default/template/cartonplugin/cartondisplay.phtml which means that your design configuration is (I guess) not correct if the file frontend/default/nationwide/template/cartonplugin/cartondisplay.phtml really exists.
So, are you sure your package / theme is correctly configured in the system configuration, design tab? Make sure that package is "default" and theme templates is "nationwide".
Something like the picture below is a good configuration to tell Magento to call templates that reside in frontend/default/nationwide/template/ instead of frontend/base/default/template/ (may need some fine tuning depending on your existing configuration and store views)
At a glance, change
<block type="cartonplugin/myblock" name="myblock" template="cartonplugin/cartondisplay.phtml"/>
to
<block output="toHtml" type="cartonplugin/myblock" name="myblock" template="cartonplugin/cartondisplay.phtml"/>
This is necessary because Mage_Core_Controller_Varien_Action::renderLayout() assumes an output block has been set as an entry point for rendering. Typically setting an output block and method is not necessary because the root block defined in page.xml is an output block.

Magento: Add content block at the end of the structual block "content"

I'm trying to add a content block to Magento, which should be visible on every side below the main content. I want to archive this with a custom extension, so I can copy this extension and it workes without touching core design files.
My extension includes the following layout update:
<default>
<reference name="content">
<block type="mymod/blockname" name="myblockname" after="-" template="mymod/block.phtml"/>
</reference>
</default>
My problem is, that the attribute after="-" is not working. The block always showes up at the top of the content block. Seems before and after have no consequence.
If I move the block to i.e. footer, the attributes before and after are working fine.
How can I place my block at the bottom of block "content"
As far as I can see the problem is that you specify your block in the "default" layout handle while most of the content in the "content" block is added by other layout handles which are applied later. That's why the added dependencies in your XML registration file (mentioned by Fabian) are not helping.
Please consider these two options depending on your needs:
1. If you really want to include your block on all frontend pages
In your XML layout file (local.xml or a custom one), add a new layout handle:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<layout version="0.1.0">
<!-- your other adjustments for default, category_product_view and so on go here -->
<add_my_block>
<reference name="content">
<block type="mymod/blockname" name="myblockname" after="-" template="mymod/block.phtml"/>
</reference>
</add_my_block>
</layout>
Now you create an event observer to inject your layout handle into your layout:
<?php
class YourCompany_YourExtension_Model_Observer
{
/**
* Adds a block at the end of the content block.
*
* Uses the event 'controller_action_layout_load_before'.
*
* #param Varien_Event_Observer $observer
* #return YourCompany_YourExtension_Model_Observer
*/
public function addBlockAtEndOfMainContent(Varien_Event_Observer $observer)
{
$layout = $observer->getEvent()->getLayout()->getUpdate();
$layout->addHandle('add_my_block');
return $this;
}
}
Then you register the event observer in your XML extension configuration file (config.xml):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<config>
<modules>
<YourCompany_YourExtension>
<version>0.0.1</version>
</YourCompany_YourExtension>
</modules>
<frontend>
<events>
<controller_action_layout_load_before>
<observers>
<mymod_add_block_at_end_of_main_content>
<type>singleton</type>
<class>mymod/observer</class>
<method>addBlockAtEndOfMainContent</method>
</mymod_add_block_at_end_of_main_content>
</observers>
</controller_action_layout_load_before>
</events>
<!-- declaring your layout xml etc. -->
</frontend>
<global>
<!-- declaring your block classes etc. -->
<models>
<mymod>
<class>YourCompany_YourExtension_Model</class>
</mymod>
</models>
</global>
</config>
Now your block should end up below the other blocks. I tested this successfully for the homepage, customer login page and category view page. If you have to exclude your block on a few pages, you can check in your event observer if the block should be excluded on that certain page.
2. If you want to include your block only on some pages
Add a layout handle to your XML layout file just as we did before but instead of creating and registering an event observer, just tell your XML layout file to use the custom layout handle in some areas:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<layout version="0.1.0">
<catalog_category_default>
<update handle="add_my_block" />
</catalog_category_default>
<catalog_category_layered>
<update handle="add_my_block" />
</catalog_category_layered>
<cms_page>
<update handle="add_my_block" />
</cms_page>
<!-- and so on -->
<add_my_block>
<reference name="content">
<block type="mymod/blockname" name="myblockname" after="-" template="mymod/block.phtml"/>
</reference>
</add_my_block>
</layout>

Magento Adding a Block to an index Action Page

I am creating a module that will have its own page at mysite.com/memymodule/index/index
I want to add functionality from a template file from at templates/me/template.phtml
I have an index controller like this:
<?php
class me_mymodule_IndexController extends Mage_Core_Controller_Front_Action {
public function indexAction() {
$this->loadLayout();
$this->renderLayout();
}
}
?>
I have a layout update mymodule.xml that looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout version="0.1.0">
<mymodule_index_index>
<reference name="content">
<block type="core/template" name="me.mymodule" template="me/template.phtml" />
</reference>
</mymodule_index_index>
</layout>
The frontName of the module is mymodule
When the page renders the content block is completely empty and the content of template.phtml is completely ignored.
Help much appreciated :-)
Try this Code within your Controller's Action -
var_dump(Mage::getSingleton('core/layout')->getUpdate()->getHandles());
exit("Your Layout Path is ".__LINE__." in ".__FILE__);
This code tells you about the Tag which you need to create within Layout.xml.
Also check Config.xml that the Layout Update Section is correctly defined or not.
Hope it'll be beneficial for you.
THANKS
