I was getting a SQLSTATE [42000] access violation: 1064 error only when clicking on a product page.
I located the problem in local.xml and it had something to do with this specific block:
<!-- List Products by category in the main area-->
<reference name="content">
<block type="catalog/product_list" name="featured" after="header.image" template="catalog/product/list.phtml">
<action method="setCategoryId"><category_id>202</category_id></action>
<action method="setColumnCount"><columns>4</columns></action>
<action method="addColumnCountLayoutDepend"><layout>empty</layout><count>6</count></action>
</block>
</reference>
Can someone explain what I did wrong and why it's doing this? I'm trying to list a few products on the homepage while hiding the product list toolbar.
Thanks!
So, unfortunately local.xml is meant to have datebase configuration and stuff like that.
Configuration about the layout should be put in a layout.xml and you have to wrap it in a layout-tag like that:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout version="0.1.0">
<reference name="content">
<block type="catalog/product_list" name="featured" after="header.image" template="catalog/product/list.phtml">
<action method="setCategoryId"><category_id>202</category_id></action>
<action method="setColumnCount"><columns>4</columns></action>
<action method="addColumnCountLayoutDepend"><layout>empty</layout><count>6</count></action>
</block>
</reference>
</layout>
I found the answer. I had the block wrapped in:
<layout version="0.1.0">
<default>
<!--block here-->
</default>
</layout>
When it needed to be in:
<layout version="0.1.0">
<cms_index_index>
<!--block here-->
</cms_index_index>
</layout>
This ended up fixing the problem of getting a SQLSTATE syntax error when clicking into a product page.

Is there a simple way to change the column settings on Magento's "Contact Us" page through the CMS? It seems that by default the "Contact Us" page is not listed among the other CMS pages. Do I need to override the settings via XML?
Thank you for your help!
First, determine the "layout handle" for the contact page. For u i guess it is "contacts_index_index"
U can find this in file app/design/frontend/your-package/your-theme/layout/local.xml or contact.xml
<contacts_index_index translate="label">
<label>Contact Us Form</label>
<reference name="root">
<action method="setTemplate"><template>page/2columns-right.phtml</template></action>
<action method="setHeaderTitle" translate="title" module="contacts"><title>Contact Us</title></action>
</reference>
<reference name="content">
<block type="core/template" name="contactForm" template="contacts/form.phtml"/>
</reference>
</contacts_index_index>
Change the setTemplate call to reference your template
<reference name="root">
<action method="setTemplate"><template>page/1column.phtml</template></action>
<action method="setHeaderTitle" translate="title" module="contacts"><title>Contact Us</title></action>
</reference>
Alternately, add the handle reference to your local.xml file. The local.xml file is applied last, so whatever goes in there "wins"
<layout>
<contacts_index_index>
<reference name="root">
<action method="setTemplate"><template>page/1column.phtml</template></action>
</reference>
</contacts_index_index>
</layout>
This is what worked for me:
Go to CMS > Manage Pages interface in the admin panel.
Create the contact page here and insert the following code:
<!– CONTACT FORM –>
{{block type="core/template" name="contactForm" form_action="/contacts/index/post" template="contacts/form.phtml"}}
<!– END OF CONTACT FORM –>
Click on the Design tab and change the layout to 1 column.
I am writing a Magento Extension that is trying to hide the Discount Code section on the checkout cart page. I wrote the following code to replace the current cart.phtml with my custom template.
<layout version="0.1.0">
<checkout_cart_index>
<reference name="checkout.cart">
<action method="setTemplate">
<template>company/module/cart.phtml</template>
</action>
</reference>
</checkout_cart_index>
</layout>
Everything looked good until I realized it even overwrote the template the cart page uses for an empty cart. I have tried many combinations for switch the "checkout_cart_index"
name to the reference name but I cannot get it to just replace that template. I further investigated and found in the default layout it sets the cart values here:
<reference name="content">
<block type="checkout/cart" name="checkout.cart">
<action method="setCartTemplate"><value>checkout/cart.phtml</value></action>
<action method="setEmptyTemplate"><value>checkout/cart/noItems.phtml</value></action>
I tried again using "SetCartTemplate" but I cannot get it to display yet alone behave as I am intending. Any ideas?
In your layout update
<checkout_cart_index>
<reference name="checkout.cart">
<action method="setCartTemplate"><value>path/to/your/cart.phtml</value></action>
<action method="setEmptyTemplate"><value>path/to/your/noItems.phtml</value></action>
<action method="chooseTemplate"/>
</reference>
</checkout_cart_index>
chooseTemplate will choose the right template

I am looking for a method to add custom page title and meta description to Magento defaults catalog/seo_sitemap/category/ & catalog/seo_sitemap/product/ pages.
I have done this before on the built-in contacts page by updating the contacts.xml file with:
<reference name="head">
<action method="setDescription"><title>my description here</title></action>
<action method="setTitle"><title>My title here</title></action>
</reference>
This works absolutely fine. However, I currently do not know how I can apply this or a similar technique to the 2 pages I've outlined.
Do the same thing but apply it in the catalog.xml file. You could also set up a local.xml with the following:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout version="0.1.0">
<catalog_seo_sitemap_category translate="label">
<reference name="head">
<action method="setDescription" module="catalog"><title>Custom description here</title></action>
<action method="setTitle" module="catalog"><title>Custom Site Map here</title></action>
</reference>
</catalog_seo_sitemap_category>
</layout>
You can apply the same method to catalog/seo_sitemap/product/
I am having trouble with Magento CE 1.7.0.2 displaying content of my custom block below the page. The block displays right on the page, but the content is copied below the page after the closing HTML tag.
The display layout plugin only shows my block referenced once, so I have no idea why this is happening. I'm using a default/custom package. Please help!!!!
My Layout, if it helps:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout version="0.1.0">
<default>
<remove name="store_language" />
<remove name="store_switcher"/>
<remove name="footer_links" />
</default>
<makeorder_index_index>
<reference name="root">
<action method="setTemplate"><template>page/1column.phtml</template></action>
</reference>
<reference name="content">
<block type="makeorder/orderblock" output="toHtml" name="orderdispaly"
template="makeorder/orderdisplay.phtml"/>
</reference>
</makeorder_index_index>
</layout>
you should remove the output="toHtml" directive from your "makeorder/orderblock" block properties. What this does is basically says to display the contents of your block as soon as it's initialized - no matter where it should be placed. So it ends up rendered after the "root" block.
I have the login form and register form, integrated in the same page. ie, in the login page itself.
I am having a problem in showing the error messages, as if error occurs in any one of the forms, then the error messages are displayed in both the login and register sections.
for example, suppose if we provide wrong login data to login, then the error message is displayed on the top of both the login and register forms, since both the forms are in the same page.
If we try to register with an already existing email address, then also, error message saying email already exists, displayed on the top of login form and register form.
My requirement is that i need to display the error message only in the corresponding form.
In order to integrate both login and register form in to the login page itself, i changed the file \app\design\frontend\anz\default\layout\customer.xml and it is as follows
Layout for customer login page

Welcome to Magento Theming :-)
First, it's generally a better practice to use local.xml layout file under your custom theme (it's not there by default, it's for the end implementer to use). This way, you won't have to needlessly merge changes into customer.xml to keep it up to date.
In your local.xml, you can use the <update /> directive to include the layout update xml from one handle into another (which is effectively what you are doing already):
<customer_account_login>
<update handle="customer_account_create" />
</customer_account_login>
You will need to customize your create template customer/form/register.phtml and remove its <?php echo $this->getMessagesBlock()->getGroupedHtml() ?> call.
I tried a simple way to achieve the requirement. There may be better ways to do this, but I think this one is simple.
I had created a hidden variable and I put those hidden variable in forms to identify which form is submitted. These hidden variable is passed as a parameter after completing the corresponding action. Then I provided an if block to display the messages according to the parameter value.
I did this all by overriding the Mage Customer module.
