I have an issue in smarty cache. When an update content from admin website I am able to view the new content immediately but when i check the same page in main site i see the old content instead of new content.When i clear the templates_c dir in server and refresh the main site,I see the new content at the first attempt.I believe somewhere it has the problem with caching.Please give me a solution for this asap.Thank you.
Something like this should do (I haven't tested it myself):
<?php
$path = 'path/to/templates_c';
$dir = new DirectoryIterator($path);
foreach ($dir as $fileinfo) {
if ($fileinfo->isFile()) {
unlink($fileinfo->getPath());
}
}
?>
By the way, be very cautious when dealing with unlink(), you may accidentally delete files you didn't mean to

A client wants to move a website they made using Adobe Catalyst to a different hosting provider. I was able to copy the entire website via FTP and move it to the new host. Everything looks fine except for many of the links leaving code that looks like this:
{module_contentholder, name="_U309"} {module_contentholder, name="_U299"}
Does anyone know what this is or how to fix it?
Those are references to Content Holders. They work similarly to PHP's include statement, but the file they reference is fixed to a single path: /_System/ContentHolders/.
You will likely come across more tags like that, such as {module_menu} and {tag_pagecontent}. You'll need to manually adapt them to the whatever the new host uses. The documentation will help: http://docs.businesscatalyst.com/reference/
The obtuse names of the content holders shown in your example indicates the site was likely to have been generated by Adobe Muse, a WYSIWYG editor. I strongly recommend that you find the original .muse project files, and use those to update the site. Muse can compile the site for platforms other than Business Catalyst.
Through research I found out there is no way to get those codes to display properly without editing each page individually. Fortunately, I wrote a PHP script that goes through the code of each page and replaces it automatically.
Step 1: Make a file in the index directory called replacement.php
Step 2: Put this code in
$file = $_GET['file'];
$path = '/path/to/public_html/' . $file;
$file_contents = file_get_contents($path);
preg_match_all("/{module(.*?)}/", $file_contents, $matches);
foreach($matches[0] as $match) {
if(preg_match('/\"([^\"]*?)\"/', $match, $query)) {
$queryNew = str_replace("\"", "", $query[0]);
$queryPath = '/path/to/public_html/_System/ContentHolders/' . strtolower($queryNew) . '.html';
$queryContents = file_get_contents($queryPath);
$file_contents = str_replace($match, $queryContents, $file_contents);
}
}
file_put_contents($path, $file_contents);
Step 3: Replace where it says /path/to/public_html/ to your domain files location.
Step 4: go to http://www.yourdomain.com/replacement.php?file=index.html to change over the index file. You can change "index.html" in the url to any other page you want converted.
Hopefully this helps someone else in the future.
I have made my magento store (community)
I have used duplicate product on a lot of products and I didn't get that the URL key field had to be changed for every product i thought i would solve it self.
Now i have about 100 products and unfortunately they are now named example:
/HaircolorBlack.html , /haircolorblack-1.html, /haircolorblack-2.html and so on.
I wonder if there are any way to easy make magento re create the url after what the products meta title is?
This would be so helpful.
I saw this two year old post about approx the same thing but I didn't wanted to use that script since I don't know if it might break anything in my magento since its been so much updates. Here is link: Clearing URL keys in Magento
Also I need total moron instructions on where to put the script to. Sorry ;)
Thanks a lot.

You can create a one off script using magento itself.. add this script somewhere in your magento root folder (beside index.php):
<?php
require_once "app/Mage.php";
Mage::app('admin'); // must be admin to do changes
function convertToUrlKey($string) {
return $string; // I WILL LEAVE YOU TO SOLVE THIS PART
}
foreach(Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->getCollection() as $product):
$metaTitle = $product->getMetaTitle();
$urlKey = convertToUrlKey($metaTitle);
try {
$product->setUrlKey($urlKey);
$product->save();
echo "Assigned url key {$urlKey} to {$product->getName()}.\n";
} catch(Exception $ex) {
echo "ERROR: {$ex->getMessage()}";
}
endforeach;
Obviously this is not a complete solution as you will have to re-create the convertToUrlKey function for the correct behavior of converting 'Black Hair Color' to 'black-hair-color' and also ensure that there will be no duplicate url keys generated..
You can run the script by browsing to it or running through SSH:
$ cd magentoProject
$ php -f changeUrlkeys.php
Good luck!
In a public function of my model I call
$user_type=$this->get_user_type();
In the same model I have
private function get_user_type()
{
$user_type='asd';
$asd_groups = (int)$config->get('asd_groups');
$ver_groups = (int)$config->get('ver_groups');
jimport( 'joomla.user.helper' );
$user_groups=JUserHelper::getUserGroups($user->id);
if(in_array($asd_groups,$user_groups)){
$user_type='asd';
}
if(in_array($ver_groups,$user_groups)){
$user_type='ver';
}
return $user_type;
}
The site give me a white page, if I comment the calling line "$this->get_user_type();" then it works...
I really don't understand what is wrong here.
There is not enough information or code here to help you… for example where is $config coming from and what is it? What version of Joomla is this on?
If $config is not defined as a global then that may be the source of the problem depending on your PHP setup.
Things you can do to help yourself find the problem, in Joomla's Global Configuration.
Set Error Messages to "Development" in Joomla (you are using a development site and not a live website right?)
Turn on Joomla's DEBUG mode
Then update your question with details of error messages, Joomla version and where this code is running (you say your model) and where $config is coming from.
Oh sure!
I have missed the two configuration variable when i moved the code from inside a function in a dedicated function.
I copied these two lines on the first row of the function and now it works!
$config = JComponentHelper::getParams(S_APP_NAME);
$user = JFactory::getUser ();
I am having Problem in saving pdf generated by mPDF to a specific folder. Every thing is working fine with pdf generation, Only I am not able to save it to a local folder. Can any one help me out with that?
Short answer is to put the full path where you plan to save the file. Like so...
$mpdf->WriteHTML($html);
$mpdf->Output('/etc/home/JohnWayne/example/pdf/','F');
I found the solution. This is very simple. As for as mPDF library is concerned, it does not parse the base_url(). Instead we have to work with $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']; In my case i have done as; Open the config.php in Application/config folder and insert the following;
$config['file_path']=$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."my_project/file/";
Now it is a peace of cake to call the config; Here is I have done in the controller;
$this->mpdf->Output($this->config->item('file_path')."invoice/arif.pdf",'F');
The Problem is solved. Do let me know if there is any technical or logical issue with my code.
You can use write file helper for this
$this->load->helper('file');
write_file('my_pdf_file.pdf',$generated_pdf);
File Helper
For this follow these simple steps. Follow BASEPATH instead of APPPATH
$path = BASEPATH . 'file/invoice';
if(is_dir($path)){
$this->mpdf->Output(realpath($path).'arif.pdf','F');
}else{
echo 'error';
}
EDITS :
Here is an alternative solution which you might like
Go to application/config/constants.php and add constant there
define('FILE_PATH' , $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."my_project/file/");
Then use it like this.
$this->mpdf->Output(FILE_PATH ."invoice/arif.pdf",'F');
make a folder in your root directry
$mpdf->WriteHTML($html);
$mpdf->Output(FCPATH.'PDF/Broker.pdf','F');
echo $Ledger_Group_Report = base_url().'PDF/Broker.pdf';
i'm building a iphone app with jqtouch and i use a cachemanifest to cache all the static files (images, css, javascript) to make it load faster. However the page uses php for the dynamic content and i don't want to cache that. So i'm generating the cachemanifest with this php-script(manifest.php):
<?php
header('Content-Type: text/cache-manifest');
echo "CACHE MANIFEST\n";
$hashes = "";
$lastFileWasDynamic = FALSE;
$dir = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator(".");
foreach(new RecursiveIteratorIterator($dir) as $file) {
if ($file->IsFile() && $file != "./manifest.php" &&
substr($file->getFilename(), 0, 1) != ".") {
if(preg_match('/.php$/', $file)) {
if(!$lastFileWasDynamic) {
echo "\n\nNETWORK:\n";
}
$lastFileWasDynamic = TRUE;
} else {
if($lastFileWasDynamic) {
echo "\n\nCACHE:\n";
$lastFileWasDynamic = FALSE;
}
}
echo $file . "\n";
$hashes .= md5_file($file);
}
}
echo "\nNETWORK:\nhttp://chart.apis.google.com/\n\n# Hash: " . md5($hashes) . "\n";
?>
This actually works really good except for one irritating thing:
From what i read somewhere the file that calls the cachemanifest is automaticly included in the manifest and is beeing cached. Wich means that my start-page index.php, where i call the cachemanifest is beeing cached. This leads to very irritating problems.
is there any way to deal with this or any smart workaround? The page is in the cachemanifest listed as NETWORK, but it looks like this is beeing overruled by the fact that the cachemanifest is called from the file.
futta's idea is right, but what you will probably find is that only one section of your frontpage changes often. Leave that empty, then let the rest of the page be cached and don't worry about it. When you visit the page, the cached version is called up instantly, and you can run a script to grab the dynamic page fragment from the server and set it with innerHTML to complete the page. The effect is that there is still one HTTP request (plus one for the manifest), so it is no slower, and it addition you can show part of your app while the dynamic section is being downloaded. If you ever want to refresh the whole page, have a comment in the manifest marking the version, and increment that to reload the whole app.
Clean and neat. I think that is how the system is intended to be used, without trying to avoid a bit of javascript, since that is after all the only way you can play around with the offline and do useful things with the app when offline.
I have the same experience, but have the following possible workaround on my todo-list:
create a manifest with all static assets
include a reference to that manifest in only one html-page (buildCache.php)
check if window.applicationCache is supported and if so:
redirect once per session to cache.html to create/check/update the cache
have buildCache.php display some info about what is being done (using the applicationCache eventlisteners)
have buildCache.php redirect back to normal index (where the manifest is not defined)
I hope (and someone claimed this is the case in a comment on my blog) that all pages on the same domain will use the static assets in the applicationCache, even if the manifest is not referenced in all of them.
Another solution would be to keep your index.php as a blank loading page or splash screen of some sort, then redirecting the user to the actual dynamic php page. Since the manifest is in index.php and index.php redirects to real-index.php the problem might be less anoying.
