How can i switch a magento store programatically with seo Url without creating seperate folder ?.
I have a storeController in my custom module.
Its not working perfectly. current store cookie value not changed because it automatically goes to default store when i go to homepage.
This is what i want ( i need really a store switch effect).
www.site.com/module/store/id/
My Store Controller
class Namespace_Module_StoreController extends Mage_Core_Controller_Front_Action
{
public function indexAction()
{
// site.com/module/store/12-store1
$id = explode('-',$this->getRequest()->getParam('id'));
$id = $id[0];
$store = Mage::getModel( 'core/store' )->load($id);
$this->_title($this->__('Module'))->_title($store->getName());
$rootCategoryId = $store->getRootCategoryId();
Mage::app()->setCurrentStore($store->getStoreId());
$this->loadLayout();
$this->renderLayout();
}
}
A controller would be far to deep to switch stores at this point. Store run codes can only be set when the application loads at bootstrap level (yes, index.php) and not at any point after (in which the controller dispatches are included).
Try your luck somewhere else.. A good solution is to use .htaccess to set the MAGE_RUN_CODE (to your desired store view) and MAGE_RUN_TYPE (to store/website) environment variables before bootstrapping ever happens.

I'm facing the same problem very often in various projects - I need to set some global variables from database and be able to receive them in anywhere in laravel - views, controllers, models. Is it possible? Or what is the most easy way to do this?
Why I need this? For language translations. I need them not cached and saved in file. For website options which can be taken from any place of app. For website language to set, because I don't want to make /language/ prefix on url.
Sorry if this question can be a duplicate, but none of the answers in similar questions worked in a way I have explained.
You can try view composers for sharing data globally to all views.
public function compose(View $view)
{
//get value from database
$options = Model::where('domain_name', \Request::server("SERVER_NAME"))->get();
//render to view
$view->with('options', $options);
}
The $options variable (model) would be available in every view.
To share data with all controllers define variables in base controller to access them in controllers which inherit base controller
class Controller extends BaseController
{
public $options = Model::where('domain_name', \Request::server("SERVER_NAME"))->get();
}
you can access it using
class LoginController extends Controller
{
public function dashboard()
{
//access here using
$x = $this->options;
}
}
Like this you can create a base model and use the inherit property to access data globally in models.
Hope it will be useful for you. The options variable may contain all the options from database.
Another way to do this is to create a helper class:
1> Add line to composer.json:
"autoload": {
"files": [
"app/Http/helpers.php"
],
2> Create file:
app/Http/helpers.php
3> Add code:
function o($code = null) {
$option = \Option::where('code', $code)->first();
return $option->value;
}
4> Use where you need:
echo o('option_code')
This works in Controller and View, before any render if called. Here can be checked session, config, cookies and etc.
the best way to access a variable everywhere in your project is using sessions. you can store everything in sessions and access it everywhere in your controllers, models and views.

Okay, so i have pages controller and user_authenticator controller.
pages controller is like a terminal to my views whilst the user_authenticator controller does the functions that relates to users like registration/logging in.
Whenever i'm done with a function in user_authenticator say for example logging in, how do i load the views via pages controller?
Login->user_auth(controller)->acc_model(model)->user_auth(controller)->view.
to
Login->user_auth->acc_model->pages(controller)->view.
It would be a boon for me if you guys can tell me if what i'm doing is impractical and a better way to do things. Or maybe i should just stick to loading views on the controller i used previously.
EDIT: so i may have forgotten the purpose of my pages controller but i remembered due to a moment of clarity from my foggy and tired mind.
I made a pages controller solely to load views, i guess in a sense, pages won't be loading ALL view but atleast most of the views, for example, if i had links in my views to other views, i would link them via the pages.
For specific functions that need specific controllers i guess i can let them handle loading some views.
Then again, if someone could tell me what i'm doing is a waste of time and should just delete pages controller please tell me so, i'd like to know why.
also if you have any suggestions for further uses of my pages controller thatd be great!
Also regarding session. I have a base controller.
<?php
class MY_Controller extends CI_Controller {
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
}
public function is_logged_in($data){
$session = $this->session->userdata();
if($session['isloggedin']['username'] == ''){
return isset($session);
}else{
return FALSE;}
}
}
?>
How do i make it so that it automatically runs and checks for every controller i load if there are any session set?
Do i have to put it into a constructor? or do i have to call the base controller method from all controllers?
Here is the best solution for you.
You can use Hooks
Step1:
application/config/config.php
$config['enable_hooks'] = TRUE;//enable hook
Step2:
application/config/hooks.php
$is_logged_in= array();
$is_logged_in['class'] = '';
$is_logged_in['function'] = 'is_logged_in';//which function will be executed
$is_logged_in['filename'] = 'is_logged_in.php';//hook file name
$is_logged_in['filepath'] = 'hooks';//path.. default
$is_logged_in['params'] = array();
$hook['post_controller_constructor'][] = $is_logged_in;//here we decare a hook .
//the hook will be executed after CI_Controller construct.
//(also u can execute it at other time , see the CI document)
Step3:
application/hooks/is_logged_in.php //what u decared
<?php
//this function will be called after CI controller construct!
function is_logged_in(){
$ci =& get_instance();//here we get the CI super object
$session = $ci->session->userdata();//get session
if($session['isloggedin']){ //if is logged in = true
$ci->username = 'mike';//do what you want just like in controller.
//but use $ci instead of $this**
}else{
//if not loggedin .do anything you want
redirect('login');//go to login page.
}
}
Step4:application/controller/pages.php
<?php
class pages extends CI_Controller{
function construct ........
function index(){
echo $this->username;//it will output 'Mike', what u declared in hook
}
}
Hope it will help u.
I need to use a subdomain as a class. ie, instead of:
www.example.com/class/function/ID eg www.example.com/town-name/history/1
I need
class.example.com/function/ID eg town-name.example.com/history/1
I've wildcarded the subdomain in nginx, now I've googled and read
http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/libraries/uri.html
http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/general/urls.html
http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/helpers/url_helper.html
but nothing relevant. I need it to be so that if another town is added to the db, it'll resolve that new town and its details.
I see many discussions about rewrites, redirects etc, but I specifically need to use the subdomain town name as the class variable. If possible, in an idea world, I could use both together, but I doubt that's possible?
I've had it going fine in plain old php for a couple of years now; now I want to upgrade to codeigniter without ruining my old structure if possible (plus there's a good reason for it).
Thanks you.
You can do it. I'm doing it for one of my projects.
In the constructor of your controller, just explode the current url and get the subdomain and pass it in your method as a variable
public class Controller extends CI_Controller {
$subdomain = null;
public __construct()
{
// explode url here and set $this->subdomain = the actual subdomain
}
public function index()
{
if($this->subdomain == null) {
show_404();
} else {
// do what you wish
}
}
}
I recently upgraded a site from CodeIgniter 1.7.x to 2.0.3. About the same time someone in my organization requested we add some pages to the site. Underneath a section. In the old version of the site I used some workarounds in the controller to break up a longer URL. But in version 2 I see that I should be able to use subdirectories in the controllers folder to do it in a more proper way. After looking all over the place I've tried all sorts of routing declarations and fiddled with all sorts of things. Hopefully I'm doing something simple, wrong, or perhaps someone has seen a similar issue stemming from the upgrade.
I'm trying to get the URL from something like:
/about/locations
Which used to work with a controller named about.php. To something more like:
/about/social_responsibility/commitment
Where about is now a aub-directory.
Funny thing is, currently it does sorta work. That second URL displays correctly. However my old pages, that first URL, now do not function... My new structure uses a base.php (default_controller) in the about directory. Thus if I write:
/about/base/locations
It does work. But I thought the whole routing thing (default controller) and using subdirectories is supposed to clean the URL up.
My info is as follows...
Current Routing (it's changed a bunch over the last few hours)
$route['default_controller'] = "base";
$route['404_override'] = '';
$route['about'] = "about/base";
Directories and Files
/controllers/about/base.php
/controllers/about/social_responsibility.php
Chunk of base.php
class Base extends MY_Controller
{
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this->data['parent'] = "About";
$this->load->model('mnav');
}
public function index()
{
}
public function locations()
{
}
}
I also have a MY_Controller that extends CI_Controller, but all it does is enable FirePHP for me in the development environment.
Anyone have any clues? Or need some more info to help? Thanks!
I just tested on my system, with CI 2.0.2 and it seems that the default controller setting works for subdirectories as well, without any other routes.
// so in your config file, whatever your default_controller is set to...
// you would just use that as the name of the `base` controller in about
// for example, if your default_controller is 'welcome'
// in /application/config.php
$route['default_controller'] = "welcome";
$route['404_override'] = '';
// then, it should work for the subdirectory where there is a controller
// named 'welcome'
// application/controllers/about/base.php
class Welcome extends MY_Controller
{
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
}
public function index()
{
echo "I can be reached with /about";
}
}
So, all you should have to do is remove all of the routes for about
// remove this
$route['about'] = "about/base";
Important
This will only work when accessing /about -- anything in additional segments will be looking for additional controllers. So you'd have to think about how you'd like to access the base controller (whether or not you name it something else).
I'd assume that /about/locations is looking for an actual "locations" controller in your about folder, rather than being the method for your base controller. As far as CI knows, you're trying to execute one of two functions:
About controller's "locations" method
about/Locations controller's index method (obviously doesn't exist)
It follows that any 3-segment or greater URI will work with this scheme, but 2-segment URI's will confuse it. I don't think letting CI fallback to the default controller is going to work here. Try this:
$route['default_controller'] = "base";
$route['404_override'] = '';
$route['([^\/]*)'] = '$1/base';
$route['([^\/]*)/([^\/]*)'] = '$1/base/$2';
In my codeigniter config I have $config['global_xss_filtering'] = TRUE;. In my admin section I have a ckeditor which generates the frontend content.
Everything that is typed and placed inside the editor works fine, images are displayed nice, html is working. All except flash. Whenever I switch to html mode and paste a youtube code piece it is escaped and the code is visible on the frontpage instead of showing a youtube movie.
If I set $config['global_xss_filtering'] = FALSE; the youtube code is passed like it should. This is because 'object', 'embed' etc are flagged as "naughty" by CI and thus escaped.
How can I bypass the xss filtering for this one controller method?
Turn it off by default then enable it for places that really need it.
For example, I have it turned off for all my controllers, then enable it for comments, pages, etc.
One thing you can do is create a MY_Input (or MY_Security in CI 2) like the one in PyroCMS and override the xss_clean method with an exact copy, minus the object|embed| part of the regex.
http://github.com/pyrocms/pyrocms/blob/master/system/pyrocms/libraries/MY_Security.php
It's one hell of a long way around, but it works.
Perhaps we could create a config option could be created listing the bad elements for 2.0?
My case was that I wanted global_xss_filtering to be on by default but sometimes I needed the $_POST (pst you can do this to any global php array e.g. $_GET...) data to be raw as send from the browser, so my solution was to:
open index.php in root folder of the project
added the following line of code $unsanitized_post = $_POST; after $application_folder = 'application'; (line #92)
then whenever I needed the raw $_POST I would do the following:
global $unsanitized_post;
print_r($unsanitized_post);
In CodeIgniter 2.0 the best thing to do is to override the xss_clean on the core CI library, using MY_Security.php put this on application/core folder then using /application/config.php
$config['xss_exclude_uris'] = array('controller/method');
here's the MY_Security.php https://gist.github.com/slick2/39f54a5310e29c5a8387:
<?php
/**
* CodeIgniter version 2
* Note: Put this on your application/core folder
*/
class MY_Security extends CI_Security {
/**
* Method: __construct();
* magic
*/
function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
}
function xss_clean($str, $is_image = FALSE)
{
$bypass = FALSE;
/**
* By pass controllers set in /application/config/config.php
* config.php
* $config['xss_exclude_uris'] = array('controller/method')
*/
$config = new CI_Config;
$uri = new CI_URI;
$uri->_fetch_uri_string();
$uri->_explode_segments();
$controllers_list = $config->item('xss_exclude_uris');
// we need controller class and method only
if (!empty($controllers_list))
{
$segments = array(0 => NULL, 1 => NULL);
$segments = $uri->segment_array();
if (!empty($segments))
{
if (!empty($segments[1]))
{
$action = $segments[0] . '/' . $segments[1];
}
else
{
$action = $segments[0];
}
if (in_array($action, $controllers_list))
{
$bypass = TRUE;
}
}
// we unset the variable
unset($config);
unset($uri);
}
if ($bypass)
{
return $str;
}
else
{
return parent::xss_clean($str, $is_image);
}
}
}
Simple do the following on the views when displaying embedded object code like from YouTube and etc:
echo str_replace(array('<', '>'), array('<', '>'), $embed_filed);
The global XSS Filtering is only escaping (or converting) certain "dangerous" html tags like <html>
Simple Workaround:
Set $config['global_xss_filtering'] = TRUE;
Run your POST data through HTMLPurifier to remove any nasty <script> tags or javascript.
HTMLPurifier Docs
HTMLPurifier Codeigniter Integration
On the page where you receive the forms POST data use html_entity_decode() to undo what XSS filtering did.
//by decoding first, we remove everything that XSS filter did
//then we encode all characters equally.
$content = html_entity_decode($this->input->post('template_content'))
Then immediately run it through htmlentities()
$content = htmlentities($content);
Store as a Blob in MySQL database
When you want to display the
information to the user for editing run html_entity_decode()
This is how I did it. If anyone knows of a major flaw in what I did, please tell me. It seems to be working fine for me. Haven't had any unexpected errors.
