I've loaded New Order transactional email to insert a custom block. I inserted it under the order items table layout handle call, and try to pass it $order variable.
{{layout handle="sales_email_order_items" order=$order}}
...
{{block type="mymodule/sales_order_email_description" order=$order}}
In Mymodule_Block_Sales_Order_Email_Description class I wrote:
protected function _construct() {
$this->setTemplate('email/order/description.phtml');
}
And finally in description.phtml I try to access order:
$order = $this->getOrder();
...
$order->getId()
At this point, exception rise:
Fatal error: Call to a member function getId() on a non-object ... ...
I followed several tutorials, like this magento email templates but I'm still stuck with this fatal error.
Any ideas?
Let's take a look;
You can define the block with a template, the construct isn't needed any more.
{{block type="mymodule/sales_order_email_description" template="email/order/description.phtml" order=$order}}
Indeed you could get the parameter values with $this->getOrder(). But $order->getId() may not work, $order->getEntityId().
Maybe you could try a var_dump to see if there is any order data.
Try this in your .phtml file:
$order = $this->getData('order');

Hi i have just start learning magento module development and for this i am following the pierefay tutorial and i found this very useful. However i am following his tutorial step by step in the fourth step
http://www.pierrefay.com/magento-model-database-tutorial-54#comment-1507
i got stuck at one place
in the block file i have following code and it is suggested it will return entries from database
<?php
class Pfay_Test_Block_Monblock extends Mage_Core_Block_Template
{
public function methodblock()
{
//on initialize la variable
$retour='';
/* we are doing the query to select all elements of the pfay_test table (thanks to our model test/test and we sort them by id_pfay_test */
$collection = Mage::getModel('test/test')->getCollection()->setOrder('id_pfay_test','asc');
/* then, we check the result of the query and with the function getData() */
foreach($collection as $data)
{
echo $retour .= $data->getData('nom').' '.$data->getData('prenom')
.' '.$data->getData('telephone').'<br />';
}
//i return a success message to the user thanks to the Session.
Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->addSuccess($retour);
print_r($retour);
}
}
but it is not returning anything.
When i copy this code in my indexcontroller or phtml file it shows the list of entries from database.
Can anybody tell me how can i use this code in block file to return data
thanks
ok i got the solution by calling the
<?php
echo $this->methodblock();
?>
in phtml file
I've a problem, I want to show the label of a custom attribute in the product page.
I explain me better, starting from this link because is what I want to do:
http://www.customy.com/blog/how-to-display-video-on-magento-product-page/
I want a video product in the sidebar of the product page, so I create a new custompage.phtml and i put this in the sidebar from catalog.xml, in my custompage.phtml I put this code to have the custom label:
getResource()->getAttribute('video')->getStoreLabel();?>
but I have this error:
"Fatal error: Call to a member function getResource() on a non-object in ..path//"
I have try different code but still have this problem.
I think that I forget to put something in my .phtml but I'm new of Magento and I don't know what!
Thank in advance!
Since $_product didn't work then you'll need to load the object before attempting to access the attribute. Try this:
$product_id = Mage::registry('current_product')->getId();
$_product=Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($product_id);
echo $_product->getResource()->getAttribute('video')->getStoreLabel();
If you don't have access to the product model, I wrote a small query to get it from DB. This could be done better, but should be a decent starting point for your class:
protected $_dbConn;
public function __construct()
{
$this->_dbConn = Mage::getSingleton('core/resource')->getConnection('core_read');
}
public function getAttributeLabel($code)
{
$query = "
SELECT b.value
FROM eav_attribute a
JOIN eav_attribute_label b
ON a.attribute_id = b.attribute_id
WHERE a.attribute_code = '".$code."'";
return $this->_dbConn->fetchOne($query);
}
I am trying to get a list of viewed products in Magento, but the following code:
$model = Mage::getModel('reports/product_index_viewed')->getCollection()
->addAttributeToFilter('store_id', array('eq' => 1));
created the error message:
Fatal error: Call to a member function getBackend() on a non-object in C:\xampp\htdocs\magento\app\code\core\Mage\Eav\Model\Entity\Abstract.php on line 816
Why is the collection returned in getCollection() a non-object?
You have an error in your filter call. Actually there is no store_id attribute for product and in your case collection tries to get this attribute, but since it doesn't exist an error occurs. In report collection there is a special method created to specify store filter, so you code should look like this (also I included construction for proper type hinting):
/* #var $collection Mage_Reports_Model_Resource_Product_Viewed_Collection */ // This enabled type hinting
$collection = Mage::getModel('reports/product_index_viewed')->getCollection();
$collection->setStoreId($storeId); // Setting data scope (e.g translated names, prices, etc)
$collection->addStoreFilter($storeId); // Set filter by exact availability on this store.
Have fun with Magento development!
I have a customer product page that literally lives beside the catalog/product/view.phtml page. It's basically identical to that page with a few small exceptions. It's basically a 'product of the day' type page so I can't combine it with the regular product page since I have to fetch the data from the DB and perform a load to get the product information
$_product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($row['productid']);
To make a long story short, everything works (including all children html blocks) with the singular exception of the related products.
After the load I save the product into the registry with
Mage::register('product', $_product);
and then attempt to load the related products with:
echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('catalog/product_view')->setTemplate('catalog/product/list/related.phtml')->toHtml();`
All of which give back the error:
Fatal error: Call to a member function getSize() on a non-object in catalog/product/list/related.phtml on line 29`,
and line 29 is
<?php if($this->getItems()->getSize()): ?>`.
Any help getting the relateds to load would be appreicated.
I didn't quite follow what you're trying to do, but I know why you're getting your errors. You're creating a block whose class-alias/class is
catalog/product_view
Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_View
but you're setting this block's template as
catalog/product/list/related.phtml
The stock catalog/product/list/related.phtml template was built to be used with a catalog/product_list_related Block only, and not a catalog/product_view Block.
If you take a look at the class definition for a catalog/product_list_related Block (which is a Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_List_Related), you can see that there's a getItems() method.
public function getItems()
{
return $this->_itemCollection;
}
which returns a collection. The collection is set in the _prepareData method
protected function _prepareData()
{
$product = Mage::registry('product');
/* #var $product Mage_Catalog_Model_Product */
$this->_itemCollection = $product->getRelatedProductCollection()
...
This collection is never set with a catalog/product_view Block, which is why you're getting your errors.
In your code above, if you switch to creating a catalog/product_list_related block, your errors should go away.
public function relatedproductsAction(){
$this->loadLayout();
$relatedBlock = "";
$rec_prod_id = Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session')->getLastAddedProductId(true);
$_product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($rec_prod_id);
Mage::register('product', $_product);
$relatedBlock = $this->getLayout()->createBlock('catalog/product_list_related')->setTemplate('catalog/product/related.phtml')->toHtml();
echo $relatedBlock;
exit;
}
Getting html of related block through ajax call, right after when product is added to cart. might be relatively helpful.
Ok so Ive created static blocks in my CMS area, and Im trying to output them inside of a custom homepage template Ive built.
Every document I can find says to output the block as follows
<?php echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('cms/block')->setBlockId('my-block-identifier')->toHtml() ?>
That didnt work for me, so then I tried another way. --
<?php $block = Mage::getSingleton('core/layout')->createBlock('cms/block')->setBlockId('my-block-identifier');
echo $block->toHtml();
All the sites referencing this tell me to use the actual blocks identifier to get the block. So then I decide to manually lookup the block_id in my cms_block table and see if using the block_id number in place of the literal my-block-identifier name will work - and it did. So I am confused... Can anyone tell me how I can get the block by the actual identifier, or look up the blocks id by the identifier so that I can grab the block by block name?
Any help much appreciated.
Looking at the cms/block block source, those tutorials have mislead you, or you misinterpreted them.
#File: app/code/core/Mage/Cms/Block/Block.php
class Mage_Cms_Block_Block extends Mage_Core_Block_Abstract
{
protected function _toHtml()
{
if (!$this->_beforeToHtml()) {
return '';
}
$html = '';
if ($blockId = $this->getBlockId()) {
$block = Mage::getModel('cms/block')
->setStoreId(Mage::app()->getStore()->getId())
->load($blockId);
if (!$block->getIsActive()) {
$html = '';
} else {
$content = $block->getContent();
$processor = Mage::getModel('core/email_template_filter');
$html = $processor->filter($content);
}
}
return $html;
}
}
The block content is always loaded with ->load($blockId); -- load with one parameter always means loding by a database ID.
So, with no supported way of doing this built into the block, you'll need to look up the block ID.
$model = Mage::getModel('cms/block')->getCollection()
->addFieldToFilter('identifier','footer_links')
->getFirstItem();
var_dump($model->getBlockId());
In the admin, when you are editing the contents of the static block, you will see a field called Identifier second from the top. Copy the value of that field, and insert it into your code. So if your Block is called contact-info in the admin, then your code will look like:
<?php echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('cms/block')->setBlockId('contact-info')->toHtml() ?>
The value in that Identifier textbox in the admin is also what will be saved into the cms_block table, as you're worked out.
HTH,
