Magento Category Widget in phtml - magento

I'd like to know if it's possibile load a widget in a particular part of a .phtml file.
I created an "Link category catalog" widget and I'd like to load it, I found this code:
<?php
$filter = new Mage_Widget_Model_Template_Filter();
$_widget = $filter->filter('{{widget type="cms/widget_page_link" template="cms/widget/link/link_block.phtml" page_id="6"}}');
echo $_widget;
?>
I changed the id with the id of my widget but it's not working.
Anyone know how to do it?
Thank you very much to everyone.
Cheers.

You could call a widget instance either by ID:
<?php
$widget = Mage::getModel('widget/widget_instance')->load($widgetId);
$widgetBlock = $this
->getLayout()
->createBlock($widget->getType(),
$widget->getTitle(),
$widget->getWidgetParameters());
echo $widgetBlock->toHtml();
?>
Or by name:
<?php
$Widget = Mage::getModel('widget/widget_instance')->load('WidgetInstanceName','title');
$WidgetBlock = Mage::app()
->getLayout()
->createBlock($Widget->getType(),
$Widget->getTitle(),
$Widget->getWidgetParameters());
echo $WidgetBlock->toHtml();
?>

How to display error or success message in a template file?

I want to show message on some condition in a template file(custom module template file).I am having following code.
<?php
if(count($collection)): ?>
<?php foreach($collection as $coll): ?>
some calculations
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php else: ?>
<?php $message = $this->__('There is no data available'); ?>
<?php echo Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->addNotice($message);?>
<?php endif;?>
But this is not working properly. The message is displayed on other pages not on the same page.
If you really need to implement that right in the template, you may use the code below:
<?php echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('core/messages')->addNotice('My Message')->toHtml(); ?>
But the solution described by Amit Bera sounds like a better way to resolve it.
Muk,According to your code
Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->addNotice($message);
add an notice to magento.This is code set notice to session and which is reflecting on page refresh according php session ,a session variable set value is reflecting after page refresh.
If you already added this notice on other page before came to your file then ,you need to add core/session to custom module template file controllers file.
Code is $this->_initLayoutMessages('core/session');
In controller you need below code in controller.
/* load the layout from xml */
$this->loadLayout();
$this->_initLayoutMessages('core/session');
/* rendering layout */
$this->renderLayout();

I found that $this->loadLayout() is what reads and clears messages from the session, therefore if you add messages before calling $this->loadLayout() then those messages should be displayed on the current page.
Example:
public function chooseFileAction() {
// a quick and dirty way to find the larger out of post_max_size and upload_max_filesize
$post_max_size = ini_get('post_max_size'); $post_max_size_int = str_replace('K', '000', str_replace('M', '000000', str_replace('G', '000000000', $post_max_size)));
$upload_max_filesize = ini_get('upload_max_filesize'); $upload_max_filesize_int = str_replace('K', '000', str_replace('M', '000000', str_replace('G', '000000000', $upload_max_filesize)));
$maxsize = $post_max_size_int < $upload_max_filesize_int ? $post_max_size : $upload_max_filesize;
// display max file size to user in a message box
$msg = 'Max file size: ' . $maxsize;
Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->addNotice($msg);
$this->loadLayout();
$this->_title($this->__('Catalog'))->_title($this->__('File Upload'));
$this->_setActiveMenu('catalog/customfileupload');
$block = $this->getLayout()->createBlock('customfileupload/adminhtml_customfileupload_choosefile');
$this->_addContent($block);
$this->renderLayout();
}
Caveat: this is tested in Magento 1.9, not 1.7.

Magento Active Filters on Search Page

I want to implement active filters on my magento ecommerce site.
I have been successful in implementing it, but the issue is, the code works on only category pages and not search page
Here's the code that I'm using
<?php /*Create filter dependencies*/
$_activeFilters[] = array();
$_filters = Mage::getSingleton(‘Mage_Catalog_Block_Layer_State’)->getActiveFilters();
foreach ($_filters as $_filter):?>
<?php echo $this->stripTags($_filter->getLabel()) ?><a href=”<?php echo $_filter- >getRemoveUrl() ?>” title=”<?php echo $this->__(‘Remove This Item’) ?>”><?php echo $this->__(‘Remove This Item’) ?></a>
<?php endforeach; ?>
I'm using this code in toolbar.phtml. Any clue as in why its not working on search page. Any Solutions would be of great help.
Thanks,
Sushil
You can use this code for fetching filters on either category list page or search results page
<?php
if(Mage::registry('current_category')) {
$_filters = Mage::getSingleton('catalog/layer')->getState()->getFilters();
} else {
$_filters = Mage::getSingleton('catalogsearch/layer')->getState()->getFilters();
}
?>
I have used this code in toolbar.phtml, to show removable filters below the toolbar, like flipkart does.
The problem is with this line:
$_filters = Mage::getSingleton(‘Mage_Catalog_Block_Layer_State’)->getActiveFilters();
This gets a singleton which only contains the necessary data when on a category page.

Magento upsell url with full category path?

I've got a problem with my Magento installation. I'm using the upsell feature to provide some more interesting products. The output works so far but I've got a big problem with the product url.
The url links to my-shop.com/product.html and not to my-shop.com/category-1/category-2/product.html. That's bad because I'm calling a special sidebar navigation for each top category. And so nothing is shown...
I'm using the standard upsell output:
<img src="<?php echo $this->helper('catalog/image')->init($_link, 'small_image')->resize(115) ?>" width="115" height="115" alt="<?php echo $this->htmlEscape($_link->getName()) ?>" title="<?php echo $this->htmlEscape($_link->getName()) ?>" />
<h3 class="product-name"><?php echo $this->htmlEscape($_link->getName()) ?></h3>
<?php echo $this->getReviewsSummaryHtml($_link) ?>
<?php echo $this->getPriceHtml($_link, true, '-upsell') ?>
(I can't post the whole code, the editor will delete most of it)
I've tried it with $_link->getProductPath(), but the output was empty.
I also checked the settings in System->Config->Catalog->Search Engine Optimization. Use Categories Path for Product URLs set to Yes.
Does anybody has an idea how to get the full path url for the products?
Thank you for your help.
You may use the below logic to get the product url. Update the variables accordingly.
<?php
$_prodcats = $_product->getCategoryIds();
$_cat = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($_prodcats[0]);
$produrl = $this->helper('catalog/output')->productAttribute($_product, $_product->getRequestPath(), 'request_path') ;
if($this->getRequest()->getModuleName() == 'catalogsearch') {
$produrl = '/'. basename($_cat->getUrl()) .'/' . basename($_product->getProductUrl()) ;
}
?>
I found a solution on the web which works for 1.9.2.1.
The upsell products become a link with category link.
$d = $_link->getData();
$id = $d['entity_id'];
$_product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($id);
$_categories = $_product->getCategoryIds();
$_category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($_categories[0]);
$cat_url = str_replace(".html","",$_category->getUrlPath());
$_url = Mage::getUrl($cat_url).basename($_link->getProductUrl());
And then use this url
Link
I still have the problem that the created sitemap.xml just added
www.website.com/product instead of
www.website.com/category/product
even if "Use Categories Path for Product URLs" is set to YES

Magento Page Title - include SKU as well as product name

How do I include the SKU as well as the product name in the page title (when looking at the product details page)?
Cheers!
In app/design/frontend/default/{your theme Folder}/template/page/html/head.phtml you could try
<?php if ($_product = Mage::registry('current_product')) { ?>
<title><?php echo $_product->getName() . ' ' . $_product->getSku(); ?></title>
<?php }else{ ?>
<title><?php echo $this->getTitle() ?></title>
<?php } ?>
You could also do this using an observer for catalog_controller_product_view see Magento Change Product Page Titles to Include Attributes
If you have a collection already loaded (ie. on product view page)
$_product->getSku();
If for some reason you need to call this from a different template higher up in the chain that isn't already loading the product/collection, you can drop this one:
$_product = Mage::registry('current_product');
$_product->getSku();
look at your design template in catalog/product/view.phtml file you should be able to simply do $_product->getData('sku');

What function and where is $this->getPriceHtml() located?

On the default product view page for magento where is "getPriceHtml" function located or what is being called here:
<?php echo $this->getPriceHtml($_product) ?>
Several words are being displayed by this code such as "Price From:" with the price included afterwards. This is for a configurable product.
Mage_Catalog_Block_Product::getPriceHtml()
This method renders via app/design/frontend/base/default/template/catalog/product/price.phtml
a.k.a The Worst Template In Magento®
benmark's answer comes down to this:
<?php echo Mage_Catalog_Block_Product::getPriceHtml($_product, true) ?>
Where $_product relates to the product object.
$productBlock = new Mage_Catalog_Block_Product();
$priceBlock = $productBlock->getPriceHtml($_product, true);
echo $priceBlock;
