I am working with a magento website. I have used a featured category to display homepage slider products. So when I click on the product it shows featured as a category in the breadcrumb.
Would it be possible not to show featured in the breadcrumb ? I want category name in the breadcrumb for the rest of categories .
Thanks
Ab
actually not getting your question but you can get some idea from here:
in page/html/breadcrumb.phtml file near line 34-36 change, $_crumbInfo['label'] to $_crumbInfo['title']
<?php elseif($_crumbInfo['last']): ?>
<strong><?php echo $this->htmlEscape($_crumbInfo['title']) ?></strong>
then in catalog/block/breadcrumb.php add 2 lines after
$path = Mage::helper('catalog')->getBreadcrumbPath();
$currentCategory = Mage::registry('current_category');
$metaname = $currentCategory['name'];
and change foreach loop like
foreach ($path as $name => $breadcrumb) {
$breadcrumb['title'] = $metaname;
$breadcrumbsBlock->addCrumb($name, $breadcrumb);
$title[] = $breadcrumb['label'];
}
and check it,
hope you get some idea..
Why no simpler than that?
Try to use CSS. Your category will have an automatic and specific class for it. For example:
<li class="category4">
<strong>ARCHERY HUNTING</strong>
</li>
In this piece of code, I have a category that I created, called "Archery hunting". The code auto-created the class="category4", So, only write on your CSS:
.category4 strong { display: none; }
And it will hide only that category.
Instead of using
$_product->getProductUrl()
to fetch URL, use this:
$_product->unsRequestPath()->getUrlInStore(array('_ignore_category' => true))
Then you need to unset last visited category id at the end of your featured block:
Mage::getSingleton('catalog/session')->setLastVisitedCategoryId('');
This is all because key part for forming breadcrumbs is the following code:
$categoryId = $params->getCategoryId();
if (!$categoryId && ($categoryId !== false)) {
$lastId = Mage::getSingleton('catalog/session')->getLastVisitedCategoryId();
if ($product->canBeShowInCategory($lastId)) {
$categoryId = $lastId;
}
}
basically, current category is determined by either URL params (hence the modified URL call), or through the session object (hence the removal of last visited category id)
so, to recapitulate, in your Featured block, instead of regular productUrl call, use the one I provided, and at the end of your featured product block listing, remove the lastVisitedCategoryId using the code I gave you

i've stumbled on a relatively known issue, but i cant find the solution.
I am using magento 1.9 CE
I have found some code to show a vertical menu of the current categorie with its children, and on the homepage the root category and everything works fine except 1 little detail. The subcategories don't load in the order of the backend. It's important that the same order as how it is setup in teh backend loads. I have tried allot of variations, like getCChildrenCategories but then it results in a blnak page. I also found menu's that do work, but then when i visit the homepage, i get an error and the page turns blank.
This is the code i am using at the moment.
<section class="block-layered-nav custom-left-menu" role="navigation">
<div class="block-content">
<?php
echo "<dl id='narrow-by-list2'>";
$_category = $this->getCurrentCategory();
$subcatid = $_category->getId();
$parentCategory = Mage::getBlockSingleton('catalog/navigation')->getCurrentCategory()->parent_id;
$name = $_category->getName();
$root_category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($subcatid);
$subcategories = $root_category->getChildren();
if($subcategories != "")
{
echo "<span class='h3'>Categorie</span><ol>";
foreach(explode(',',$subcategories) as $subcategory) {
$category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($subcategory);
echo '<li><a href="'.$category->getURL() .'" title="'.$category->getName().'" />'.$category->getName().'</a></li>';
}
}
else
{
echo "<span class='h3'>Categorie</span><ol>";
$root_category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($parentCategory);
$subcategories = $root_category->getChildren();
foreach(explode(',',$subcategories) as $subcategory) {
$category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($subcategory);
echo '<li><a href="'.$category->getURL() .'" title="'.$category->getName().'" />'.$category->getName().'</a>';
}
}
echo "</ol>";
?>
</div>
</section>
Any help would be much appreciated. All i know is that, somewhere in this code its not calling the categories the right way, i also tried:
$currentCat = Mage::registry('current_category');
but this results in a blank homepage.
Here is a link to the dev enviremont: http://dev.smoldersbv.nl/schroeven-en-bouten.html
If you hover over the main navigation you see a different order, the correct order, then on the left menu.
This is normal $this->getCurrentCategory() get the current category = the category you are currently browsing.
On the home page you are not in a category, like on any other cms pages or even on the contact us page, ... (and there are lots more). So you have nothing in the current category which is obvious.
Problem solved,
The way of the requests where wrong therefor this menu is unable to produce the order of the backend so i ended up using a whole different mockup.
thnx for looking anyway.
Im trying to get the current category from catalog/product/view.phtml
<?php
$_helper = $this->helper('catalog/output');
$item = $this->getProduct();
$curCat = Mage::registry('current_category');
if($curCat && $curCat->getId() == Mage::helper('function')->NEWS_CAT_ID) {
// do stuff
}
?>
The major problem with this method is; Im getting the parrent category_ID(2) instead of the child category_ID(10). How do i fix this problem?
SinisterGlitch, you was goes to this page from catalog search page....registry have save it current category default category ,whose ids is 2.That means the product call from category is save as current category
check your root category form admin panel you probably add this product to root category also.
I am displaying products of a particular category to the homepage content section.
I have made a separate .phtml file to display my homepage.
Now I want to show the ratings of a product (products are already rated). How do I show it?
If you look at the category listing template it's pretty easy to work out how category pages render out the review summary to show the rating block.
First load the product in question:
$product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($id);
Then create a product listing block to give access to the correct methods:
$block = Mage::app()->getLayout()->createBlock('catalog/product_list');
Finally run the getReviewsSummaryHtml() method and pass it the product to get the summary HTML.
$html = $block->getReviewsSummaryHtml($product, 'short');
You can do this.
$_product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($id);
if ($_product->getRatingSummary() && $rating = $this->getReviewsSummaryHtml($_product, 'short')) :
echo $rating;
else:
echo "<a href='$_product->getProductUrl()'>" . $this->__('Be the first to review this') . "</a>";
endif;
I am trying to display a grouped product's price on the product view page in Magento 1.7.0.2, just as it is being displayed in the category product listing ("Starting at: xx.xx"). I thought I could just use
$this->getPriceHtml($_product, true);
to do so because it works the same way in the category product listing, but as everything I tried to do in Magento, it is not that easy because that method doesnt return anything on the product view page.
I looked a little deeper into Magento's code and figured out that the cause of this problem is the product's minimal price data not being set on the product view page ($_product->getMinimalPrice() returns null).
Therefore I did some research on how to load a product's minimal price which brought up ideas like
$_product->getPriceModel()->getMinimalPrice($_product);
which doesnt work because apparently that method was deprecated and removed in one of the last updates or
$priceModel = Mage::getResourceModel('catalogindex/price');
$priceModel->setStoreId(Mage::app()->getStore()->getId());
$priceModel->setCustomerGroupId(Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->getCustomerGroupId());
$minimalPrices = $priceModel->getMinimalPrices(array($_product->getId()));
$minimalPrice = $minimalPrices[0];
$_product->setData('minimal_price', $minimalPrice['value']);
$_product->setData('minimal_tax_class_id', $minimalPrice['tax_class_id']);
which doesnt work either because the table 'catalogindex_minimal_price' is empty.
So my question is, how does Magento load the minimal price in the category product listing?
I looked a little deeper into Magento's code and tracked down how Magento loads the products of the product list.
When viewing the product list, the product collection is loaded by the model Mage_Catalog_Model_Layer, which adds the minimal price and other stuff to the products in the collection by adding joins to the collection’s SQL, but I have not yet found a model that does the same thing for single products instead of collections.
Because I don’t want to use a direct SQL query, I checked out the CatalogIndex module, but that module seems not to be working at all because all its indexing tables are empty or even corrupted.
$data_grouped = Mage::getModel("catalogindex/data_grouped");
$minimal = $data_grouped->getMinimalPrice(array($_product->getId()), Mage::app()->getStore());
looked good at first but it gives me the following error:
SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'catalog_product_index_price.value' in 'field list'
The CatalogIndex module is either deprecated or I’m just too stupid to enable it.
However, I have now created a workaround in my price.phtml template, which uses the same method to retrieve the minimal price and tax percents as the product list does:
At the beginning of the template I added the following:
$this->setProduct(
Mage::getModel("catalog/product")->getCollection()
->addAttributeToSelect(Mage::getSingleton("catalog/config")->getProductAttributes())
->addAttributeToFilter("entity_id", $this->getProduct()->getId())
->setPage(1, 1)
->addMinimalPrice()
->addFinalPrice()
->addTaxPercents()
->load()
->getFirstItem()
);
which may not be the perfect solution, but it does the job and it does it a little cleaner than iterating over all child products and finding the minimal price that way.
This isn't an answer as much as a big HTML comment on Subsurf's answer. If you're reading this, you might be implementing your own custom module to display a product list. In my case, it's a single page just for wholesalers. My goal was to get a list of my own company's products and give them a list like it was another category. I copied my template's list.phtml to my new content.phtml. But getMinimalPrice() was returning NULL, meaning that when this code calls the getPriceHtml(), price.phtml wasn't showing wholesale pricing.
I did a simple module with index controller and a content.phtml. Using the boilerplate I see all over the net, in the indexController.php file, change:
$block = $this->getLayout()->createBlock(
'Mage_Core_Block_Template',
'b2b',
array('template' => 'b2b/content.phtml')
);
to:
$block = $this->getLayout()->createBlock(
'Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_List',
'b2b',
array('template' => 'b2b/content.phtml')
);
This does a lot of the heavy lifting for you to show the products list correctly.
Now, on to the template file, in my case content.phtml, you get your product collection and then use Subsurf's code in the top of the foreach() which repeats.
$_productCollection = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')
->getCollection()
// ->addAttributeToSelect('*')
// doesn't work ->addAttributeToSelect('special_price')
->addAttributeToSelect('sku')
->addAttributeToFilter('status', 1)
->addAttributeToFilter('visibility', 4)
// http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1332742/magento-retrieve-products-with-a-specific-attribute-value
->addFieldToFilter( array(
array('attribute'=>'manufacturer','eq'=>'143')
, array('attribute'=>'manufacturer','eq'=>'139')
))
;
echo "<p>There are ".count($_productCollection)." products: </p>";
echo '<div class="category-products">';
// List mode
if($this->getMode()!='grid') {
$_iterator = 0;
echo'<ol class="products-list" id="products-list">';
foreach ($_productCollection as $_product) {
?> <li class="item<?php if( ++$_iterator == sizeof($_productCollection) ): ?> last<?php endif; ?>">
<?php
$_product=Mage::getModel("catalog/product")->getCollection()
->addAttributeToSelect(Mage::getSingleton("catalog/config")->getProductAttributes())
->addAttributeToFilter("entity_id", $_product->getId())
->setPage(1, 1)
->addMinimalPrice()
->addFinalPrice()
->addTaxPercents()
->load()
->getFirstItem()
);
echo "Minimal price: ".$_product->getMinimalPrice()."<br>\n";
Since this isn't a single product's page and I'm using other template code, $this->setProduct() didn't do anything for me. I guessed if there was a set, there might be a get, so $_product=$this->getProduct() was the magic my template's price.phtml needed to work properly. Then I noticed I could just assign the Mage:: in setProduct() directly to $_product.
Thanks, Subsurf!!!
There is another way that will still allow you to use $this->getPriceHtml($_product, true); in your template, which then handles all the complex price display rules and puts "Starting at" before grouped product prices.
I'm using this for a custom featured product block. In a block class I have this function:
class MyCompany_Catalog_Block_Product_Featured extends Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_Abstract {
public function setGroupedProductPrice($group_product) {
$prices = array();
foreach ($group_product->getTypeInstance()->getChildrenIds($group_product->getId()) as $ids) {
foreach ($ids as $id) {
$product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($id);
$prices[] = $product->getPriceModel()->getPrice($product);
}
}
ksort($prices);
$group_product->setPrice(array_pop($prices));
}
}
Then in the template:
<?php
if ($_product->getTypeId() == 'grouped')
$this->prepareGroupedProduct($_product);
echo $this->getPriceHtml($_product, true);
?>
The following does the trick without using a product collection:
$priceResource = Mage::getResourceSingleton('catalogindex/price');
$select = $priceResource->getReadConnection()->select();
$select->from(
array('price_table' => $priceResource->getMainTable())
)
->where('price_table.entity_id = ?', $_product->getId())
->where('price_table.website_id = ?', Mage::app()->getStore()->getWebsiteId())
->where('price_table.customer_group_id = ?', Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->getCustomerGroupId());
$result = $priceResource->getReadConnection()->fetchRow($select);
This code is adapted from \Mage_CatalogIndex_Model_Resource_Price::getMinimalPrices and made suitable for one single product.
There are two variables which are required in the tracking pixel which needs to be placed on category, product info, cart and confirmation page.
I've managed to get the Prod list and Prod working, however, the second two are causing me problems.
I can echo out the sku in the cart, however, the products are configurable products so it's duplicating the sku in the output. The code I'm using is below:
<?php
// $items = Mage::getModel('checkout/cart')->getQuote()->getAllItems();
$items = Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session')->getQuote()->getAllItems();foreach($items as $item) { echo ''.$item->getSku().' ';}
?>
How do i change this to just display the one configurable SKU?
The second element is the Category name that the product exists in, Any one got any ideas on that? I've tried multiple variations but they've either broke the page or returned nothing.
Any help would be appreciated. If someone could also give me examples of how these would work on the confirmation page as well, that would be great.
Thanks for your help.
Check for the products visibility (simple products attached to a configurable would not be visible):
$items = Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session')->getQuote()->getAllItems();
foreach($items as $item) {
if ($item->getProduct()->isVisibleInSiteVisibility()) {
echo ''.$item->getSku().' ';
}
}
With regards to the category name, a product can appear in multiple categories so im not sure how you want to handle that. Also, there is a concern that you are beginning to duplicate code across several template files. You will want to consider moving this all out to a block.
Anyway, to get the category names that the product belongs to here is at least one method of doing this...
$categoryCollection = $item->getProduct()->getCategoryCollection()
->addAttributeToSelect('name');
foreach($categoryCollection as $category) {
echo $category->getData('name') . "<br/>";
}
