I'm terribly sorry to post this question here, but RedCOMPONENT just does not bother to answer my forum post or anyone else for that matter.
All I want to know, can this mod_products from RedCOMPONENT display featured products as well as products from a specific brand?
Thanks in advance.
You won't be able to do it with the extension you mentioned unless you code it yourself. I haven't looked into redSHOP majorly before and I;m not going to pay to download the module you mentioned, but in one of the PHP files, there will be some code retrieving the products from a specific table column using an SQL command. You could always try adapting this so that (if features products have their own table column) the SQL command retrieve products from both columns.
Else, you might be interested in this module which shows the features products for RedSHOP.

You should use mod_redshop_featureproduct module.

In my magento application i want to create a module which is for adding FAQ for a individual product. So while adding the FAQ, in the new tab i want to show the list of all products(like product listing) for which product we want to add FAQ.
So please help me how to customize for getting list of products and display in the new tab?
The question is too broad friend. So don't hope any full solution here. That is because, this question is related to an external extension. But you will get guidance here. Here you may need to do following things.
I think in admin, the extension provides provision to manage each individual faque. What you need to do is, you need to create an extra field that will relate that faq with a product or multiple products.
If you set up this, you need to store this information in database. So for each faq, there may be a product id or multiple product ids related to it
Now you need to create a new block for your extension. This block will filter faqs that related to a particular product.
Next step is add above block in layout. Layout handle you need to use here is catalog_product_view.
Create a new template for your custom block and in that template file, you need to put design codes. You can create this template with the help of current template that this extension uses. That way, you can reduce a lot of time for creating the design.
Hope that helps !
I am working on a custom Magento module to enter Composer information (name, bio, birth, death, etc.) and associate products (songs) with the composer. The module contains two tabs, one for the general info and the other for a list of the products (songs). The association should work exactly as the functionality of Related Products, Up-sells, and Cross-sells in the Product editing page. I feel like I've been running around in circles on a few points in regards to paging through the available songs and selecting and saving the entries. It's mainly dealing with the Grid Serialization. I've looked through as many resources as I can find, including several tutorials, without any luck:
http://magebase.com/magento-tutorials/understanding-the-grid-serializer-block/
I've posted the relevant files at this Gist and would appreciate any feedback or discussion. The files have a lot of material commented out from trying various solutions but they may prove useful in terms of thought process. Certainly available to post any other files that may be relevant.
I think this answer is exactly what you need. I know that single link answers are not very appreciated but the answer is kind of long to replicate in here.
You can also use this module creator to create you module (also available on magento connect). It has an UI that let's you create the modules in a similar way with how you create a table using phpMyAdmin. For each entity you create in your module you have the ability to say "Link many to many with products". This will create the the relation table between products and your entity and the second tab in the admin where you can choose products that are associated with your entity. Exactly like the products in the categories or like related products.
I admit that I'm the developer of the extension, but this should not be considered as spam since the extension is free and I get no profit out of it.
I have taken over a Joomla project that needs rebuilding.
I need to get out the user data and some other data linked to users, I have found most of it in the jos_user table and also a table named jos_comprofiler.
There is data inside of jos_sobipro_field_data that I also need, but I do not know how this table related to anything else can someone please explain? I am able to write SQL and the JOIN statements to get it out once I understand how it all fits together.
Finally the table jos_comprofiler references an avatar which is an image name like '100_4f97c0b3c2c31.jpg' where can I find these images?
Thanks, Jake
I can tell you where those tables are coming from:
- jos_users is the user table used by Joomla core, together with jos_user_profiles for additional profile information.
- jos_comprofiler is a table created by the Community Builder extension from http://www.joomlapolis.com/.
- jos_sobipro_field_data is a table created by SobiPro from http://sobipro.sigsiu.net/
Maybe that helps you find the next steps. Maybe someone else knows more details.
Magento's rule-based product relations (up-sell, cross-sell etc) are stored in a database table, and I assume they are updated once in a while. Unfortunately, I can't find any documentation about when that happens or what triggers it. Is it:
Cached, like a block, and expires after a certain time?
Generated whenever you save a product?
Generated by CRON?
I'd really appreciate it is someone could fill in the blanks for me. I'm using the Enterprise edition, if that helps or makes any difference.
So I dug around the product link data a bit. The relevant object we're looking at here is catalog/product_link, which the catalog/product object uses to retrieve linked object data.
While grouped and bundle products seem to write to this in cronjobs, I have not found any cases where this data is written in a cron-job for actual upsell/cross-sell products. I will keep digging a bit, but this seems to imply that the products are calculated at save time.
Hope that helps!
Thanks,
Joe
Search for the observers on events "catalog_product_save_before" and "catalog_product_save_after" to see in your project when it is fired and what function is called.
In the enterprise edition the observer fired is enterprise_targetrule/observer, function : catalogProductAfterSave ...
I am trying to import product reviews from an older site to our new Magento site.
I am having troubles trying to create the actual product review in a script. Has anyone tried doing this before and know how to accomplish this?
It looks like reviews use the entity models and I can't seem to get the review object to do what I want it to do. Here is what I have tried doing so far and its throwing back some an error about foreign keys not being respected. Not sure how to make this work. Any help would be appreciated.
$review = Mage::getModel('review/review');
$review->setEntityPkValue(141292);
$review->setStatusId(1);
$review->setTitle("This is an inserted title");
$review->setDetail("This is an inserted detail");
$review->setNickname("First Last");
$review->save();
My guess would be that it's asking for a product and store to link the review with. Reading the install sql (under app/code/core/Mage/Review/sql/, it looks like there are constraints between review and each of:
core_store
catalog_product_entity
review_status
review_entity
Hope this helps,
