Magento Active Filters on Search Page - magento

I want to implement active filters on my magento ecommerce site.
I have been successful in implementing it, but the issue is, the code works on only category pages and not search page
Here's the code that I'm using
<?php /*Create filter dependencies*/
$_activeFilters[] = array();
$_filters = Mage::getSingleton(‘Mage_Catalog_Block_Layer_State’)->getActiveFilters();
foreach ($_filters as $_filter):?>
<?php echo $this->stripTags($_filter->getLabel()) ?><a href=”<?php echo $_filter- >getRemoveUrl() ?>” title=”<?php echo $this->__(‘Remove This Item’) ?>”><?php echo $this->__(‘Remove This Item’) ?></a>
<?php endforeach; ?>
I'm using this code in toolbar.phtml. Any clue as in why its not working on search page. Any Solutions would be of great help.
Thanks,
Sushil

You can use this code for fetching filters on either category list page or search results page
<?php
if(Mage::registry('current_category')) {
$_filters = Mage::getSingleton('catalog/layer')->getState()->getFilters();
} else {
$_filters = Mage::getSingleton('catalogsearch/layer')->getState()->getFilters();
}
?>
I have used this code in toolbar.phtml, to show removable filters below the toolbar, like flipkart does.

The problem is with this line:
$_filters = Mage::getSingleton(‘Mage_Catalog_Block_Layer_State’)->getActiveFilters();
This gets a singleton which only contains the necessary data when on a category page.

Show Product on Search Page - Magento 1.7

Currently I have a snippet of code that will forward a user to the product page if they search for a term and only 1 product is associated with that keyword.
<?php if($this->getResultCount() == 1): ?>
<?php $prodId = $this->_productCollection->getAllIds() ?>
<?php $singleProduct = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($prodId) ?>
<?php header('Location: ' . $singleProduct->getProductUrl()) ?>
<?php exit; ?>
<?php elseif($this->getResultCount()): ?>
However, what I want to do now is actually serve up the product and all its details on the results page itself if its the only one with that tag/search term INSTEAD of redirecting to the product page. Im pretty new to php so please bear with me.
Block template is bad place for this. Good place - controller.
Maybe you need rewrite controller for this functionality.
For example/app/code/core/Mage/CatalogSearch/controllers/ResultController.php
In controller your code looks like:
$this->getResponse()->setRedirect($_product->getProductUrl());

Magento upsell url with full category path?

I've got a problem with my Magento installation. I'm using the upsell feature to provide some more interesting products. The output works so far but I've got a big problem with the product url.
The url links to my-shop.com/product.html and not to my-shop.com/category-1/category-2/product.html. That's bad because I'm calling a special sidebar navigation for each top category. And so nothing is shown...
I'm using the standard upsell output:
<img src="<?php echo $this->helper('catalog/image')->init($_link, 'small_image')->resize(115) ?>" width="115" height="115" alt="<?php echo $this->htmlEscape($_link->getName()) ?>" title="<?php echo $this->htmlEscape($_link->getName()) ?>" />
<h3 class="product-name"><?php echo $this->htmlEscape($_link->getName()) ?></h3>
<?php echo $this->getReviewsSummaryHtml($_link) ?>
<?php echo $this->getPriceHtml($_link, true, '-upsell') ?>
(I can't post the whole code, the editor will delete most of it)
I've tried it with $_link->getProductPath(), but the output was empty.
I also checked the settings in System->Config->Catalog->Search Engine Optimization. Use Categories Path for Product URLs set to Yes.
Does anybody has an idea how to get the full path url for the products?
Thank you for your help.
You may use the below logic to get the product url. Update the variables accordingly.
<?php
$_prodcats = $_product->getCategoryIds();
$_cat = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($_prodcats[0]);
$produrl = $this->helper('catalog/output')->productAttribute($_product, $_product->getRequestPath(), 'request_path') ;
if($this->getRequest()->getModuleName() == 'catalogsearch') {
$produrl = '/'. basename($_cat->getUrl()) .'/' . basename($_product->getProductUrl()) ;
}
?>
I found a solution on the web which works for 1.9.2.1.
The upsell products become a link with category link.
$d = $_link->getData();
$id = $d['entity_id'];
$_product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($id);
$_categories = $_product->getCategoryIds();
$_category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($_categories[0]);
$cat_url = str_replace(".html","",$_category->getUrlPath());
$_url = Mage::getUrl($cat_url).basename($_link->getProductUrl());
And then use this url
Link
I still have the problem that the created sitemap.xml just added
www.website.com/product instead of
www.website.com/category/product
even if "Use Categories Path for Product URLs" is set to YES

Magento - Limit number of products returned on specific pages?

I have some specific pages I am linking to from this page - http://www.formagdev1.com/shop-online.html
Top of page, New to the store and Customer Favorites both link to custom pages, but we'd like to limit the # of products displayed on those pages. Exclusive is fine, it can return a page with pagination as it currently does.
So if you click on New to the store, you'll get to a page that dumps an array with all the products with pagination. I would like to limit the amount of products on this page to 25, with no pagination. Same with Customer Favorites page.
I am using Grid Mode only, and the code I have currently building the array is -
<?php $_collectionSize = $_productCollection->count(); ?>
<?php $_columnCount = $this->getColumnCount(); ?>
<?php $i=0; foreach ($_productCollection as $_product): ?>
<?php if ($i++%$_columnCount==0): ?>
<ul class="products-grid">
<?php endif ?>
The issue I am having is, if I just remove the toolbar top and bottom from the custom page, it removes it from ALL list of grid type pages, so the simple idea in this case doesn't seem to be working.
Is there a way to limit the number of products shown to 25 for these 2 specific pages, with NO pagination?
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Bill
Try limit $collection with:
->setPage(1, 25)
But works only if collection not already initialized.
Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_List is the Block that handles the list display. You could add a function here that defines if this is a no pagination category, say function isNoPagination(). You can then edit the catalog/product/list.phtml template to only display the toolbar when !$this->isNoPagination() and set max collection size to 25 when !$this->isNoPagination().
The function isNoPagination could be based on for example getLayer()->getCategoryId().
Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I ended up just doing this using XML in the deisng of the page, workes as I need it to now :-)

Magento Page Title - include SKU as well as product name

How do I include the SKU as well as the product name in the page title (when looking at the product details page)?
Cheers!
In app/design/frontend/default/{your theme Folder}/template/page/html/head.phtml you could try
<?php if ($_product = Mage::registry('current_product')) { ?>
<title><?php echo $_product->getName() . ' ' . $_product->getSku(); ?></title>
<?php }else{ ?>
<title><?php echo $this->getTitle() ?></title>
<?php } ?>
You could also do this using an observer for catalog_controller_product_view see Magento Change Product Page Titles to Include Attributes
If you have a collection already loaded (ie. on product view page)
$_product->getSku();
If for some reason you need to call this from a different template higher up in the chain that isn't already loading the product/collection, you can drop this one:
$_product = Mage::registry('current_product');
$_product->getSku();
look at your design template in catalog/product/view.phtml file you should be able to simply do $_product->getData('sku');

What function and where is $this->getPriceHtml() located?

On the default product view page for magento where is "getPriceHtml" function located or what is being called here:
<?php echo $this->getPriceHtml($_product) ?>
Several words are being displayed by this code such as "Price From:" with the price included afterwards. This is for a configurable product.
Mage_Catalog_Block_Product::getPriceHtml()
This method renders via app/design/frontend/base/default/template/catalog/product/price.phtml
a.k.a The Worst Template In Magento®
benmark's answer comes down to this:
<?php echo Mage_Catalog_Block_Product::getPriceHtml($_product, true) ?>
Where $_product relates to the product object.
$productBlock = new Mage_Catalog_Block_Product();
$priceBlock = $productBlock->getPriceHtml($_product, true);
echo $priceBlock;
