I understand there are many answered questions on this particular issue but I haven't found anything specific to Magento, and I was wondering if changing the .htaccess file will have repercussions in my Magento store.
Basically I have links in my navigation that go straight to a filtered category page so they look as follows..
Example.com/hairproducts.html?manufacturer=412
However when I click these links they end up navigating to the URL with a trailing slash...
Example.com/hairproducts.html?manufacturer=412/
which then ignores the filter and takes them to the category page.
Cheers for any help.
I assume you have the urls generated in a phtml file like this:
<?php echo $this->getUrl('hairproducts.html?manufacturer=412'); ?>
or in a block/page content like this
{{store url="hairproducts.html?manufacturer=412"}}
Change them to this:
In a phtml file:
<?php echo $this->getUrl('', array('_direct'=>'hairproducts.html', '_query'=>'manufacturer=412'); ?>
or in a block/page content
{{store _direct="hairproducts.html" _query="manufacturer=412"}}
If I assumed wrong then post the way you are generating the urls.

For example I have two html files sample1.html and sample2.html and I want to show them in one php file, like if I entered www.mydomain.com/index.php?show=sample1 will show the sampl1.html and ?show=sample2 will show sample2.html but in only one page
Something like that ?
<? include($_GET['show'].".html"); ?>
It not the a secure answer but I think this is what you want...
I'm using default joomla mod_banner.
I'd like to modify the module so can give specific css class for each banner image, so if the module displaying 3 banner images, the first banner (image) will have class="banner1", the second image will have class="banner2" the third image will have class="banner3" and so on.
How can I do that?
If you decide to modify your mod_banners module, then just follow the steps:
Open the /modules from your root directory.
Find the directory named mod_banners in modules/mod_banners
Find out the tmpl directory modules/mod_banners/tmpl
default.php is the file that display the images into the frontend of you joomla website.
just edit this file. See the img tag into and just change whatever name you want to give the class..
UPDATE : Take a look on the given Codes:
// Add variable before
$unique_number = 1;
// Provide the Provides the images URL or related information
foreach($list as $item):
now just find out the <img tag and just add a class something like
<img class='banner-<?php echo $unique_number?>'
and at the end of the file findout the endforeach; and just add the code something like
<?php
$unique_number++;
endforeach;
?>
providing you the class name like banner-1, banner-2, .... etc.
IMPORTANT: If you notice on the top most of your default.php the module provide the images into an array, If you are familiar with the Joomla modules structures then you can modify it easily.
I can't figure out how to do the url links.
Basically I have my navigation bar, and I don't know which CodeIgniter URL code to use and how to implement it.
Is what I'm doing here right?:
<?php $this->load->helper('url'); ?>
<li>About Us</li>
I tried to do an anchor like this, but when I load the page it just turns up blank:
<?php echo anchor('views/about.html', 'About Us', title='About Us'); ?>
What am I doing wrong?
There are two ways to make links:
CodeIgniter helper style:
<?php echo anchor('about', 'About us', 'title="About us link"'); ?>
More common HTML with URL echo:
About us
Both will output:
About us
Though if I understand what you are trying to achieve, your mistake is elsewhere.
You don't include the views part, as your URL should point to the controller, not a view. The only case is if you have a controller named views.
CodeIgniter is set up so that it doesn't include file extensions like .html in URL's by default. It does if you've set them up in your config file in $config['url_suffix'] = '';, which is null by default.
See if you've made any of these mistakes.
That is another way on how you do the URL if you are using the URL helper in CI. You should try this, make the base_url() as the value for href. Try this,
About Us
You have to try like this
About Us
or you can give like
About Us
and in the "about" function you put
$this->load->view('about');
but i think the firstone will works for you fine.
I would like to retrieve the categories of my website in order to build me own Category menu.
but I don't understand how to get all the categories from the class/model. So I've created a file called top.phtml that I've put in template/catalog/navigation ,
First, do I MUST put that name to the file into that folder if I want to create a top Menu ? Can t I decide where to put it with the name I want like TopMenu.phtml ? Because in evry tut I red, they are doing the same way ..
Second : What i the function I must call ? I've been here : http://www.magentix.fr/ergonomie-web/agencer-page-accueil-site-magento.html but the way the do that doesn t work for me .. I add that code to my file top.phtml properly called in the page.xml :
<div class="category-list" style="background-color:white;">
<h2>Nos produits</h2>
<?php
foreach ($this->getStoreCategories() as $_category):
if($_category->getIsActive()):
$_category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($_category->getId());
$layer = Mage::getSingleton('catalog/layer')->setCurrentCategory($_category);
?>
<div class="category-list-view">
<a href="<?php echo $this->getCategoryUrl($_category)?>" title="<?php echo $_category->getName()?>">
<img src="<?php echo $this->getCurrentCategory()->getImageUrl(); ?>" alt="<?php echo $_category->getName() ?>" />
</a>
<h3><?php echo $_category->getName()?></h3>
</div>
<?php
endif;
endforeach;
?>
</div>
Last : where could I find a clear user guide like there is for CodeIgniter ? I found that, but I never found any answer on it : http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/doc/webservices-api/api#magento_core_api
Thanks for your answers, I m a web dev used to work with CodeIgniter or without any template, and I can t clearly see the logic behind Magento way of programming.
EDIT: Is there anything to do with the categories ? Becaue I tried to create a sub category under the Default Category and it do work, but if I create a new Root Category,It simply didnt recognize it .. why
First, do I MUST put that name to the file into that folder if I want to create a top Menu ? Can t I decide where to put it with the name I want like TopMenu.phtml ? Because in evry tut I red, they are doing the same way ..
You can name your template file whatever you like. However, it's best to follow the nomenclature and established conventions. The template filename is contingent on your layout XML. It should have the template attribute, something like <block name="x" type="x/y" template="catalog/navigation/topmenu.phtml" /> (for example).
Second : What i the function I must call ? I've been here : http://www.magentix.fr/ergonomie-web/agencer-page-accueil-site-magento.html but the way the do that doesn t work for me
The functions available to your template (topmenu.phtml file) depend on the block's type. In your layout XML, you should specify the block type that corresponds to the functionality you need. In your case, you're probably looking for the block type to be catalog/navigation. If you look in ./app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Block/Navigation.php, you can see what public methods are available to your template. Several of the methods here facilitate generating (nested) category listing. This is where your getStoreCategories() method comes from. Remember that these blocks inherit from several parenting classes, so you have a lot more methods available than you may at first think.

That's a link to the Magento API. What you need is a tutorial on Magento layout XML and the design layer therein. The Magento wiki has some good info, but Google around and you'll find a ton of really helpful resources on understanding Magento's design system.
Is there anything to do with the categories ? Becaue I tried to create a sub category under the Default Category and it do work, but if I create a new Root Category,It simply didnt recognize it .. why
A root category is what you'll use to identify the basis of the catalog for the selected store(s). You will never see the root category appear on the frontend (and you shouldn't). Each subcategory within the root category is the top-level category; sub-categories beneath those subcategories (tertiary categories) would appear as your "second-level" categories on the Magento frontend. You might want to look into Magento's GWS ("global, website, store") scope system, and how it manages catalog data in a multi-store setup to better understand why root categories function this way.
Hope this helps!
I have a custom page as my magento homepage. It's content is hardcoded on the default CMS page (which shows if a CMS homepage isn't enabled in the CMS pages section of the admin).
I have a list of products showing there (pulled from best-selling/highest rated etc). However, the review links and the add-to-compare links don't show on this page. The list of products is displayed using the same code as the default template/catalog/product/list.phtml, and everything else works except for these 2 things.
It seems that both the following code snippets have no effect on pages other than the default category listing page:
<?php $_compareUrl=$this->getAddToCompareUrl($_product); ?>
&
<?php echo $this->getReviewsUrl() ?>
I'm guessing that there's something else that needs to be called in order for these to work, but can't figure out what it is. Everything else from the product collection is available.
I load my product collection using the following code:
$_productCollection = Mage::getResourceModel('reports/product_collection')
->addAttributeToSelect('*')
->addAttributeToFilter('visibility', $visibility)
$_productCollection->load();
Any ideas?
OK, so after a while digging around, I found that you can use the following to get the compare url working:
<?php $_compareUrl=$this->helper('catalog/product_compare')->getAddUrl($_product) ?>
<span class="addto">
<?php echo $this->__('Add to Compare') ?>
</span>
Still not sure about the review urls, but I've made an acceptable workaround for that so I'm gonna mark this as answered.
If anyone comes up with an answer though please do still post it!
I'm guessing it's because the Block that is serving up your product list may not be correct. I believe it should be Mage_Catalog_Block_Catalog_Product_List. How exactly are you loading in the list of products?
