I have below code in smarty template. I am unable to interpret what paging does. calc, total, current, per_page, url are variable but what is paging
{paging calc=$pInfo.calc total=$dealers|#count current=$pInfo.current per_page=$config.dealers_per_page url=$search_results_url}
{paging} seems to be a custom Smarty plugin.
as #Iko mentioned, {paging} is likely a smarty plugin
Check your smarty plugins folder for a file named 'functions.paging.php' - you should be able to find the php code that processes those parameters. If you're lucky that code might have links to documentation or the publisher if created by a third party.

I am a few weeks into using Magento, and this is a URL for which I'm trying to track the output file (I believe it would be a .phtml file):
http://mytest.shopland.com/smi130495/catalog/category/view/s/his-jewelry/id/312834/
the first parameter smi130495 is the store parameter, and obviously the last two are a name-value pair for the category. I'm pretty sure we have NOT touched core, so there might be files in local. However I'm also aware that there is a skin folder. Does anyone have a suggestion of how to interpret it? Thanks.
It would probably help you a lot to read an article about how Magento routing works, but I will explain briefly what your URL means:
smi130495: As you stated, this is your store code. Since Magento can support multiple tiers of websites/stores, this is an optional piece that depends on your setup.
catalog/category/view: This is the routing information (module, controller, action). This gets translated into a dispatch of Mage_Catalog_CategoryController::viewAction() found in the file app/code/core/Catalog/controllers/CategoryController.php.
s/his-jewelry: You are correct that this is where the params begin. This looks like a search term being passed from search results.
id/312834: This is the category ID that will be loaded by the dispatched controller action.
Knowing this information is the first clue to finding the code that will be used to create your output, but there is much more that goes into the rendering of the final output. It would be too long to explain everything here that can impact output since, for example, Magento uses an intermediate XML-based layout layer of “blocks” that in turn make use of templates to render specific pieces of content on the page.
However, I can point you to the main template for your route app/design/frontend/$package/$theme/template/catalog/category/view.phtml, which gets added to the layout like this in app/design/frontend/$package/$theme/layout/catalog.xml:
<reference name="content">
<block type="catalog/category_view" name="category.products" template="catalog/category/view.phtml">
</reference>
Hope that helps you some.
In Magento .phtml files are inside :
Admin panel files : app/design/adminhtml/default/default/template
Frontend files : /app/design/frontend/default/{theme name}/template
Like in query you are searching for category/view file
app/design/frontend/default/{theme name}/template/catalog/category/view.phtml
To make life easier, you can use several tools. Finding Templates in Magento sometimes is alot of work. Template Hints are a good way to find templates quicker. You can enable template-hints in the Magento backend in the Configuration under System->Development. In case you want a better solution with template hints, you can use this module from AOE:

As the title suggests my question is pretty simple.
Is there a way to count the total number of active module instances of a specific type/kind in Joomla (with a specific module name)?
I know how to count modules in a specific module position using JModuleHelper::getModules, but that is not what I want.
I simply need to count all active modules instances of a specific type/kind.
Does anyone know how to do this (without having to do a manual MySQL query)?
I do not know if there is an official joomla way, but you can do it by having an sql query looking at
#__modules
table.
Check out this table and you will find out how easy it is.
An example sql would be:
select count(id) from #__modules where module = 'mod_login'
As far as i know there is no joomla method for this. I would recommend (if it has to be done) either
using a crawler to go through all pages of the site counting the instances.
or using a script which goes through the template php files and the database to find all active instances.
Both these methods might not be 100% reliable due to unexpected circumstances (like module being included in article or module included only after a button is clicked on) but could work if you know your site well enough.
Unfortunately there does not seem to be such a function in Joomla.
In my case I needed this to tell me whether or not a instances of this module was > 0 or not.. and my alternative solution was to simply make a module-specific function and then in the module php file check if function is already loaded.
I need to edit a page on prestashop, I've found that code
<ul id="idTab2" class="bullet">{$agencies->content}</ul>
And where should i search for that $agencies variable ?
I have found the text which is being displayed into that place in CMS.
However I'd that variable need to be define somewhere, am I right ? Anyone knows where should i search for that ? I'm new to prestashop.
Why am i asking for this ? I need to add another page for example
<ul id="idTab2" class="bullet">{$test->content}</ul>
- but I can't just simply add another page called test.
The {$agencies} variable is being set in a object derived from either the Controller or Module classes but to be honest it looks like you're working with code that has been customised (via a class override or a module) making it impossible to provide a definitive answer to your question without knowing more detail.
If you can locate the term 'agencies' in a file located under \controllers, \modules or \override in your installation, then you will be closer to finding your answer. It will be contained in a function call similar to:
$this->context->smarty->assign('agencies' , [some-variable]);
Note that the parameters to the function may also be passed as an array for multiple assignments.
I'm working on importing (on a regular basis) about 6,000 items into Magento using Magmi. I've got nearly everything configured the way I need it, but I have one issue.
I need to concatenate 3 columns from my .csv file to create a "category_ids" column. I'm using the Value Replacer plugin with the following value:
{item.departmentid},{item.classid},{item.subclassid}
This works well, however I need to then map this field to another field using the Generic Mapper plugin. Both functions work individually, however I need the Value Replacer to run BEFORE the Generic Mapper. As best as I can tell, it appears the Generic Mapper runs first. Is there a way I can alter the execute order for these two plugins?
Thanks for the help!
Update for Dweeves:
Doh! I totally overlooked that section while trying to figure this out. Now that I've gone through it, I might need a little more help. Right now I've using just the Value Replacer plugin with the following settings:
Replaced attributes: category_ids
New value for category_ids:
{{ ValueRemapper::use_csv('/var/www/magmi/category_ids.csv')->map({item.departmentid},{item.classid},{item.subclassid}) }}
It doesn't seem to be working as I intended it to, but I'm a systems guy and not a PHP programmer. Any help?
2nd Edit
I got it working by using the Value Replacer function to first concatenate everything into a new "test" column, then using the Value Replacer Value Mapper function to create the category_ids column with the mapped values. Confusing, but it's working well.
You can use the ValueRemapper helper of Value Replacer plugin for this kind of purpose.
See Value Replacer Plugin Documentation (ValueRemapper helper section)
To answer your original question (how to define the order the plugins run in).
From my experience, the plugins are loaded in order of their plugin filename.
For example, if you look at magmi/plugins/base/itemprocessors/importlimiter, you will notice that the filename for the plugin is 01_importlimiter.php.
If you look in the genericmapper plugin folder, you'll notice the plugin filename to be 02_genericmapper.php.
With this being said, 01_importlimiter.php will execute before 02_genericmapper.php.
Every time a tpl file is included the system first looks for a site-specific version of the file and falls back to a standard one if the site specific one does not exist. So perahps I put include "customer/main/test1.tpl". If our site is google, the system would first look for "customer/main/google_test1.tpl" and fall back to "customer/main/test1.tpl" if that file doesn't exist.
Note: Smarty 2.6.x
Did you know about the built-in template directory cascade? addTemplateDir and setTemplateDir allow you to specify multiple directories:
$smarty->setTemplateDir(array(
'google' => 'my-templates/google/',
'default' => 'my-templates/default/',
));
$smarty->display('foobar.tpl');
Smarty will first try to find my-templates/google/foobar.tpl, if not found try my-templates/default/foobar.tpl. Using this, you can build a complete templating cascade.
That won't be too helpful if you have lots of elements on the same cascade-level. Say you had specific templates for google, yahoo and bing besides your default.tpl. A solution could involve the default template handler function. Whenever Smarty comes across a template it can't find, this callback is executed as a measure of last resort. It allows you to specify a template file (or template resource) to use as a fallback.
So you could {include}, {extend}, ->fetch(), ->display() site_google.tpl. If the file exists, everything is fine. If it doesn't, your callback could replace _google with _default to fallback to the default template.
If neither template_dir cascade nor default template handler function seems applicable, you'll want to dig into custom template resources.
