I was wondering if you could guide me how to allow the user to select either list or grid view, without changing the URL of the catalog/category page.
I.e., the page is either www.example.com/category?mode=grid OR www.example.com/category?mode=list but I want to make it just www.example.com/category and show the grid view by default, with the list view being displayed without changing the URL.
I hope you can help
There is no tutorial I guess..you have to do your own code ..And its not a big deal .. Open your list.phtml file in app/design/frontend/default/YOURTHEME/template/catalog/product/
Here you can see, they separate two view mode like this,
<div class="category-products">
<?php echo $this->getToolbarHtml() ?>
<?php // List mode ?>
<?php if($this->getMode()!='grid'): ?>
<?php $_iterator = 0; ?>
<ol class="products-list" id="products-list">
<?php foreach ($_productCollection as $_product): ?>
..bla.. bla ...
And Grid mode:
<?php else: ?>
<?php // Grid Mode ?>
Here they check the mode like this
<?php if($this->getMode()!='grid'): ?>
Just remove this condition, so that you can load both views, so now just add new css class or id to separate both modes, and manage them by Js like onclik event or something like that ...

Currently I have a snippet of code that will forward a user to the product page if they search for a term and only 1 product is associated with that keyword.
<?php if($this->getResultCount() == 1): ?>
<?php $prodId = $this->_productCollection->getAllIds() ?>
<?php $singleProduct = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($prodId) ?>
<?php header('Location: ' . $singleProduct->getProductUrl()) ?>
<?php exit; ?>
<?php elseif($this->getResultCount()): ?>
However, what I want to do now is actually serve up the product and all its details on the results page itself if its the only one with that tag/search term INSTEAD of redirecting to the product page. Im pretty new to php so please bear with me.
Block template is bad place for this. Good place - controller.
Maybe you need rewrite controller for this functionality.
For example/app/code/core/Mage/CatalogSearch/controllers/ResultController.php
In controller your code looks like:
$this->getResponse()->setRedirect($_product->getProductUrl());
I have added a comment to order on checkout success page. The comment is path to an image file. I want to display the image there rather than its path.
I added the following code for adding the comment,
$order->setState('processing', 'invoiced', $img_path);
Is it possible if I send html of image and image is shown rather than path?
Create a custom module that extend app/design/adminhtml/default/default/template/sales/order/view/history.phtml
Change Line #71 from
<?php if ($_item->getComment()): ?>
<br/><?php echo $this->escapeHtml($_item->getComment(), array('b','br','strong','i','u')) ?>
<?php endif; ?>
To
<?php if ($_item->getComment()): ?>
<br/><?php echo $this->escapeHtml($_item->getComment(), array('b','br','strong','i','u', 'img')) ?>
<?php endif; ?>
(If you have any issues check the value of 'comment' in sales_flat_order_status_history db to see if it already escapeHtml)
I need to theme views in Drupal 7. There is a content type 'Book' and I need to list 5 books and theme them in special manner(preview image, title and author).
When I override views-view-field.tpl.php and print raw SQL result, I see that all fields are displayed. This code
echo "<pre>";
print_r($row);
echo "</pre>";
gives
[entity] => stdClass Object
(
[title] => ...
....
[nid] => 34
...
[body] => Array
...
But I don't want pass [body] from database to php side, because it can be huge and cause a performance issue. I haven't selected [body] in view settings.
Is there a way to pass only certain fields to views-view-field.tpl.php?
Thanks in advance.
The variables available are written in the documentation inside the sites/all/modules/views/theme folder's files.
Usually, the variable you need to look at and modify on a views-view-fields.tpl.php template is $fields
I use the devel module (http://drupal.org/project/devel) to view the variables available:
<?php
//after enabling the devel module...
dpm($fields);
// This will print a Kuomo display on the page with the array's vars
?>
Generally, on a view of nodes,
<?php print $fields['title']->content; ?>
will print the node title. For fields, try
<?php print $fields['field_FIELDNAME']->content; ?>
If you have the memory, you can capture ALL vars available on the template in the Kuomo with
<?php dpm(get_defined_vars()); ?>
Make sure you clear your cache before you try to view the vars.
If what you want to do is theme a certain field you can create a template for that specific field like this one: views-view-field--field-nameofmyfield.tpl.php place it in your theme folder and rescan the templates in the Theme:information part of the View configuration.
For that to work you have to have the field added to Fields in the View.
To sort through your information in a theme use this:
<?php dpm ($rows); ?> // View all the information in the view
<?php foreach ($rows as $row_count => $row): ?>
<?php print $row['title'];
<?php print $row['nid'];
<?php endforeach; ?>
If you want to change of theme of view then Change views-view-fields.tpl.php like this:
<div class="pagecontent">
<div class="colleft">
<?php if($fields['field_file']->content){ ?><div class="views-field-file"><?php print $fields['field_file']->content; ?></div><?php } ?>
</div>
<div class="colright">
<div class="views-field-title"><?php print $fields['title']->content; ?></div>
<div class="views-field-body"><?php print $fields['body']->content; ?></div>
<div class="views-field-view-node"><?php print $fields['view_node']->content; ?></div>
</div>
</div>
One of our Vendors has a real time inventory system and we would like to implement it into our site. When a person clicks on the product, it should check the inventory and update as necessary. This works ok at best. The problem is when the product switches to in/out of stock. It updates properly in the backend, but I am unable to get the addtocart button to be added/removed. This is my code for updating the stock:
//$_stockQTY is the realtime inventory result
$stockData = Mage::getModel('cataloginventory/stock_item');
$stockData->loadByProduct($_product->getId());
$stockData->setData('qty', $_stockQTY);
$stockData->setData('is_in_stock',($_stockQTY > 0) ? 1 : 0);
if ($stockData->dataHasChangedFor('qty')) {
$stockData->save();
$_product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($_product->getId());
}
As you can see, I am force reloading the product when qty is changed. This seems to work for everything but the addtocart button. It shows the previous result (In stock or out of stock before the reload.)
I have 2 questions:
Is there a better way to reload a product other than reassigning it as I am doing above:
$_product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($_product->getId());
And why is it that everything is updating properly, but the addtocart which uses the same
$_product->isSaleable()
call that our availability, etc uses.
Compare:
<?php if($_product->isSaleable()): ?>
<p class="availability in-stock"><img src="<?php echo $this->getSkinUrl('images/stock.png') ?>"> <span><?php echo $this->__('In stock') ?></span>
...
?>
To
<?php if($_product->isSaleable()): ?>
<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('addtocart') ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('alert_urls') ?> //Only Shows up if addtocart does not.
Refreshing the page will update the product properly, but doing a meta refresh or anything of the sorts is out of the question. I appreciate any advice that could be given as I would like to get this resolved and on to the next task.
Unless I'm misunderstanding your question, it appears the thorn in your side is the stock status index.
Try this:
Mage::getSingleton('cataloginventory/stock_status')->updateStatus($_product->getId());
(I haven't tested this, but it looks like it ought to work)
How do I get the current (active) top level category and its subcategories??
I do not want the root category, just the highest level category and all of its subcategories.
If I am in the Women’s Category for instance:
Women
- Apparel
-- Shirts
-- Pants
- Accessories
-- Handbags
-- Jewelry
Even if i am looking at shirts, i would like the category tree to remain the same.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
To give the precise answer to your precise question "how to get the current category and its subcategories" :
To retrieve the current category :
$_currentCategory = $this->getCurrentCategory();
To retrieve its subcategories :
$_categories = $this->getCurrentChildCategories();
The above are working in a catalog/navigation block.
Now, to get the rendering you are speaking about, I think that a simple navigation block with a good use of CSS would do the trick.
Create a navigation block, let's say in your left column :
Create the template file in your template directory structure. In our example :
/template/catalog/navigation/thetemplate.phtml
Use this code to draw the whole categories/subcategories structure without the hassle of modifying the code (see [1] at the end of the post....)
Inspect the generated code/CSS and you will see that there are all necessary CSS pointers (levelX, active...) allowing you to display or hide pieces of the categories tree and thus showing only the parts you like.
Conclusion: CSS is sufficient to do what you want to do :)
[1] Code :
<?php $_menu = ''?>
<?php foreach ($this->getStoreCategories() as $_category): ?>
<?php $_menu .= $this->drawItem($_category) ?>
<?php endforeach ?>
<?php if ($_menu): ?>
<div class="THECSS-CONTAINER">
<ul id="THECSS">
<?php echo $_menu; ?>
</ul>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
