I have a developmental Magento Store I'm setting up with two languages. Everything works perfect except the SideBar Wishlist and the "My Account" Wishlist displays the Spanish option no matter what. Everything switches i.e. the "My Wishlist" title header, even the email to friend box that automatically writes in "Please, enter your comments..." changes correctly. But the product name and discription remians in Spanish. I've tried this suggestion here: Wishlist don´t capture store views lenguage
Has anyone figured out how to fix this or what I might have set incorrectly?
Thanks
I had this problem as well on Magento 1.6.2CE. - while switching store languages product names remain in default language.
On a file Wishlist\Model\Item.php arround line 319 you need to remove the line of code:
public function getProduct()
{
$product = $this->_getData('product'); // <-- remove this line
The $product object is reloaded again with the correct store filter.
I don't really understand the scenario, but based on your title I had came up with this.
By any chance, did you manually code the text on a HTML block?
I have came across with this problem, and what I did is find the code snippets where the text is being called. There I changed it with the code below, instead of directly using the text itself. Hope that it makes sense.
<?php $this->__('Customers'); ?>

If you add a product to the shopping cart, a message pops up on top saying "You've just added this product to the cart"
I would like to translate the message in french.
Now I have tried to find the string in the csv files, but cannot find it. I have tried to add the string to translate.csv but that does not work.
I tried inline translation, but no little book appears with the popup message, I have used the "Find In Files" option in Notepad++ but it doesn't find it anywhere, so I cannot change it. I tried template hints to see where it comes from, but here too, I don't see anything.
I am stuck and wonder where the string comes from. it must be somewhere. Right?
If you have translation.csv file for your theme then by placing it there SHOULD work and one more thing do check in other theme translation files maybe it is overridden by any other translation file.
Have looked at Cant retrieve short description in category list view, but despite setting "Used in Product Listing" for the short_description attribute and rebuilding the indexes, and turning off the flat catalogues, $_product->getShortDescription() still doesn't return anything.
Is there anything else I can try, or is there some way I can debug what is going on?
Check this first,
When you are editing the list.phtml file both Grid view and List view are both created in this file. Test with a quick message in place of your getShortDescription call just to make sure you are in the right place.. If you are, please post your code in here and I will be glad to help.
I would like to know if there is a way to change text in the code instead of using the admin panel? I have Filezilla installed and can access my site/files from there.
If I use the inspect element in any browser, I can see an HTML structure, but as I have understood there is no HTML document in Magento, right? So where do I go if I want to make a change to a text element on my site and I don't want to use the admin panel?
Most of the text elements are handled by Magento's language translation system.
Quite often, you don't have to mess around hacking templates, just simply add a line to the translation CSV with the text string exactly as it appears, add a comma and then the new text string you want Magento to display.
For example, if you're working with US English, you can use the following file in your own custom template package as follows:
app/design/frontend/default/your_package/locale/en_US/translate.csv
Let's for example, change one of the window shade bar titles in the One Page Shopping Cart. Add a line to translate.csv as follows:
"Billing Information","Billing Address Information"
How this works, in the template the following line normally displays the title:
<?php echo $this->__('Billing Address') ?>
This code snippet $this->__('Billing Address') is a call to Magento's language translation system. It reads the translate.csv file finds Billing Address and changes it to Billing Address Information when it assembles the page html.
Lotta people out there have made changing text like this far harder than it has to be.
Hunting down the proper template, changing the text, finding the template got messed up, or trying to remember after the fact what was changed.
VS.
Changing a simple central file that contains all the text string translations... Often only by adding a new line to the file
Magento actually makes this very simple.
Thank you! So magento stores all text in .csv? or just the stuff that needs to be translated? I'm making a search for .csv via Filezilla but I only get two languages (the site is translated to multiple languages). Should I be looking somewhere else?
I have a currency select box on my magento install. It is located exactly where I want it and all is good.
However I want to add a piece of text below the drop down select box just telling people that they will be charged in NZD.
Problem is I have edited app\design\frontend\base\default\template\directory\currency.phtml but no changes happen on the front end.
I have even changed __('Select Your Currency') ?> to __('HEY') ?> Just to see would it work and nothing, it didn't change the header of the box at all.
Please help, what am I doing wrong, am I am idiot?
Thanks in advance.
Hii Instead of using base theme try changing in your current working theme it will reflect
For ex:-
\app\design\frontend\yourtheme\yourtheme\template\directory\currency.phtml
Thanks...
Are you modifying base theme for all your template requirement.This is not Magento standard practice.
Switch on Hints and check the block and html involved. Modify that .phtml ot write some code in associated block file and call that block function from your .phtml
For a project I need to make a kind of view all manufactures page, I am hoping to use catalogsearch but without any parameters. What I mean is the normal catalogsearch is ran and all shoes in all manufacture categories are returned.
The url that is normally passed is testshop.com//catalogsearch/result/index/?manufacturer=2522&q=shoe%20manufactures this works but when I try to pass testshop.com//catalogsearch/result/index/? (or along those lines) this does not work.
I have not started coding this yet as I am not sure where to begin so need a point in the right direction.
I am thinking of just finding the default category id and using this, but not sure if this is the best option to use.
Any advice or help will be great as always. Will post my finished code on here once complete as I think with magento help can be a bit limited.
Cheers
Jason
Maybe try getting the search Model pragmatically
Here is the code to get the Search model:
$search = Mage::getSingleton('catalogsearch/advanced');
To actually search put in the following:
$search = Mage::getSingleton('catalogsearch/advanced')->addFilters(array('name' => $term));
Then to get the results in an object, enter the following line:
$search->getProductCollection();
Hope this helps
I did it. It was a bit of a hack but works perfectly.
I noticed that if you make a search and remove all the filters you are left with a GET request that look something like this /catalogsearch/result/index/?q=Shoe+Brand . But the filters where not showing on the left hand side as a normal catalogsearch would.
So I found the default category id and added this to the GET request. The GET request now looked like this /catalogsearch/result/index/?cat=2&q=Shoe+Brand .
Although the GET request included q=Shoe+Brand it was not actually using this as search criteria.
This was now returning a catalogsearch page with the default category as a filter.
This was showing default category in the filter and breadcrumbs so I had to change the appropriate phtml files to check for this and display 'all brands' instead of 'default category'.
Hope this helps someone else
