Magento navigation-block issues - magento

How can I set the subcategories to be visible at all times in main navigation block (left column)? Once I start browsing the subcategories of any category, the navigation block is showing only the top categories. Example at www.valikoi.com.
Regards, Tommi

I think this will help you,
<ul class="catlist">
<?php
$obj = new Mage_Catalog_Block_Navigation();
$store_cats = $obj->getStoreCategories();
$current_cat = $obj->getCurrentCategory();
$current_cat = (is_object($current_cat) ? $current_cat->getName() : '');
$currentCategory = Mage::registry('current_category');
foreach ($store_cats as $cat) {
if ($cat->getName() == $current_cat) {
//enters and lists all main categories
echo '<li class="current">
'.$cat->getName()."\n<ul>\n";
//get the child category of a current category
foreach ($obj->getCurrentChildCategories() as $subcat) {
echo '<li>
'.$subcat->getName()."</li>\n";
}
echo "</ul>\n</li>\n";
} else {
//enters when a sub category is clicked and lists all main categories
echo '<li>
'.$cat->getName()." </li>\n";
//this is to load the categories like in admin order
$loadCategory= Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->getCategories($currentCategory->getParentId(),0, true, true);
//below code did not work to load categories like in admin order
//$explod= $loadCategory->getChildrenCategories('position','asc');
//$subCategories = explode(',', $explod);
if (($currentCategory->getParentId() == $cat->getId()) )
{
//enters when a sub category is clicked and loads its parent and show its subcategories
echo '<ul class="catlist_inner">';
foreach ($loadCategory as $subCategoryId)
{
if($subCategoryId->getIsActive())
{
echo '<li>
'.$subCategoryId->getName().' </li>';
}
}
echo '</ul>';
}
}
}
?>
</ul>

Geting quantity for a single item in cart magento

Hello i need to get the quantity of the item added in cart for the item i am viewing in product detail
atm i am using this
<?php $cart = Mage::getModel('checkout/cart')->getQuote();
$result = array();
foreach ($cart->getAllItems() as $item) {
$result['qty'] = $item->getQty();
}
$qty=$result['qty'];
//echo $qty ;
if(!$qty == 0){
echo '<span>'.$qty.'</span>';
}else{
echo "<span>0</span>";
}?>
but it returns only the last qty added/updated in the cart, and i need the specific single product qty
Try this:
//$product is current product that you are viewing
$qty = null;
foreach ($cart->getAllItems() as $item) {
if ($product->getId() == $item->getProductId()) {
$qty = $item->getQty();
}
}
if (!is_null($qty)) {
//$qty is what you are looking for
}
else {
//the current product is not in the cart
}

Magento - Check if subcategory exists in current category

I have the following category setup in my magento store:
store root
|
bedroom kitchen bathroom
| | |
furniture furniture furniture
lighting lighting misc
misc
I need to be able to check if the category misc exists as a subcategory in my current category or not, and if so show a particular block.
So if i was in the kitchen category it would not show but in bedroom and bathroom it would.
How can i do this this check?
To get your sub-category misc
$currentCategoryId = 10;
$collection = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->getCollection()
->addAttributeToFilter('is_active', 1) //only active categories
->addAttributeToFilter('parent_id', $currentCategoryId)
->addAttributeToFilter('name', 'misc');
To check if your collection contains at least 1 record in it:
if ($collection->getSize() > = 1) {
//'misc' sub-category exists
}
else {
//'misc' sub-category does not exists
}
Load you current category using and get its Id
$currentCat = Mage::registry('current_category');
$currentCatId = $currentCat->getId();
Load the 'misc' sub-category using
$_category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->loadByAttribute('name', 'misc');
$_categoryParentId = $_category->getParentCategory()->getId();
if( $currentCatId == $_categoryParentId){
//Do your stuffs
}
Though you have two categories with the same name misc, so you would want to laod category by url-key or parse through the multiple category array to test.
Try flollowing,
<?php
$categoryId = 5;
$categories = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($categoryId)->getChildren();
$catAsArray = explode(',', $categories);
//you can have $catAsArray to check if it has subcategories
foreach($catAsArray as $child)
{
$_child = Mage::getModel( 'catalog/category' )->load( $child );
echo $_child->getName() . '<br />';
echo $_child->getUrl() . '<br />';
echo $_child->getDescription() . '<br />';
}
?>
Or the other way,
<?php
$categoryId = 5;
$_category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($categoryId);
if($_category->hasChildren())
{
}
?>

How to get url of a category in magento

am trying to display all the second level categories and my code is

//Get category model
$_category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->setStoreId($storeId);
$_categoryCollection = $_category->getCollection();

if($_category->getLevel() == 2) {
$catChildren = $_category->getChildren();
if(!empty($catChildren)) {
$o .= '<li> '.$_category->getName().'';
$o .= '<ul>';
$categoryChildren = explode(",", $catChildren);
foreach ($categoryChildren as $categoryChildId) {
/* #var $_childCategory Mage_Catalog_Model_Category */
$_childCategory = $_category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->setStoreId($storeId)->load($categoryChildId);
$o .= '<li>'.$_childCategory->getName().'</li>';
// If you wish to display the total number of products for each category, uncomment this line
// $o .= '<span class="totalNumberOfProducts">'.$_childCategory->getProductCollection()->count().'</span>';
}
$o .= '</ul></li>';
}
}
} $o .='</ul>';
echo $o;

Hope the below code will solve your problem.
Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($_category->getId())->getUrl()
It works for me.

Magento: display all level2 categories

I have categories with 4 levels.
Example :
level0category --> level1category --> level2category -->lastlevel_level3cateogory
is it possible on lastlevel to display the categories that are in level2 and only? (on a block that i load a custom left.phtml)
I was thinking something with automatic category detection and not have to set cat_id=
Edit: this is what i was looking for, after mix of code from different sources.
<?php
$currentCat = Mage::registry('current_category');
if ( $currentCat->getParentId() == Mage::app()->getStore()->getRootCategoryId() )
{
// current category is a toplevel category
$loadCategory = $currentCat;
}
else
{
// current category is a sub-(or subsub-, etc...)category of a toplevel category
// load the parent category of the current category
$loadCategory = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($currentCat->getParentId());
// #TODO enhance for more nested category levels to display sub-categories
}
$subCategories = explode(',', $loadCategory->getChildren());
foreach ( $subCategories as $subCategoryId )
{
$cat = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($subCategoryId);
if ($cat->getIsActive())
{
if ($currentCat->getEntityId() == $subCategoryId)
{
echo '<li style="display:none;">'.$cat->getName().'</li>';
}
else
{
echo ''.$cat->getName().' <br>'; }
}
}
?>
$categories = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')
->getCollection()
->addAttributeToSelect('*')
->addIsActiveFilter()
->addAttributeToFilter('level',2)
->addOrderField('name');
make sure this line is there
apply ->addAttributeToFilter('level',2)

<?php
$obj = new Mage_Catalog_Block_Navigation();
$store_cats = $obj->getStoreCategories();
$current_cat = $obj->getCurrentCategory();
$current_cat = (is_object($current_cat) ? $current_cat->getName() : '');
foreach ($store_cats as $cat) {
if ($cat->getName() == $current_cat) {
echo '<li class="current">'.$cat->getName()."\n<ul>\n";
foreach ($obj->getCurrentChildCategories() as $subcat) {
echo '<li>'.$subcat->getName()."</li>\n";
}
echo "</ul>\n</li>\n";
} else {
echo '<li>'.$cat->getName()."</li>\n";
}
}
?>
The easiest way to solve this is to create a recursive function (a function that calls itself).
Here is how you might want to set up your code:
//go through all the parent catgeroies
foreach ($store_cats as $cat) {
// if it's the category we are looking for let's spit it out as an <li>
if ($cat->getName() == $current_cat) {
echo '<li class="current">'.$cat->getName()."\n<ul>\n";
// let's get all the subcategories no matter how deep (look at function below).
getChildCategories();
}
}
//our new sub-category getter
public function getChildCategories() {
// lets loop through all the children of the current category and spit out <li> for them
foreach ($obj->getCurrentChildCategories() as $subcat) {
echo '<li>'.$subcat->getName()."</li>\n";
//lets call ourself again to see whether there are deeper layer to be found
getChildCategories();
}
}
What you would want to add to your code is an if statement checking whether there are children:
if ($obj->getCurrentChildCategories()) {//then loop through etc.}
This way you avoid hitting errors when you hit rock bottom.
