is it possible to remove zip/postal code field depending on country chosen in the address section of the checkout page in Magento?
e.g. when a user chooses 'Ireland' the field disappears on the fly.
thanks
Dave
In the admin panel there is an option to make zip code optional for specific countries:
System-> Configuration -> General -> Countries Options -> "Postal Code is Optional for the following countries"
Select your specific countries which you want to make optional.
If this isn't enough with a some basic modification you should be able to make the field invisible as well.
In your theme (don't modify the existing themes), copy js/opcheckout.js and modify that.
Add your observer to the zipcode fields. The best is to hide the zipcode, as the client-side validation won't fire then.
If you would like some code to get you started, I can post that in an edit.
Magento hasn't anything built-in yet. You have to wrote some javascript to do that and, of course, control this flow into Magento Core classes.
on Magento 1.7.0.2
first you have to remove 'required-entry' on zipcode field (you can use jquery to remove class)
then
go to Mage_Checkout_OnepageController
on saveBillingAction() method
$result = $this->getOnepage()->saveBilling($data, $customerAddressId);
$result = array() // clear error message;
and then on saveShippingAction() method
$result = $this->getOnepage()->saveShipping($data, $customerAddressId);
$result = array() // clear error message;
hope works!!

Hello and good day to all the members of this great community. I'm still new in PHP and especially in Magento.
I'm not posting, waiting for answers, and leaving without replying back. This is a learning process. I hope to get a great support from all of you.
I have a product. I did create custom option for the product, that is an attribute named "a_size". The attribute has value of S, M and L. Each of the value has quantity.
In the single product view, I would like to call all the available size. That is the size (S, M, or L) that has quantity more than 0. I just want to show the available size, not how much the size left.
Can anybody guide me? I'm using Magento 1.7.x and as far for this 2 weeks, I did try pretty many of suggested answers from the community thru the search function.
The replies will be much appreciated. Thank you.
There are a few things to try.
Firstly check that when you set up your new attribute in the Magento Admin (Catalog->Attributes->Manage Attribute) that in the Frontend Properties box you have set Visible on Product View Page on Front-end to yes.
To get size values I use this code:
$cabac_sizeAttribute = $_product->getAttributeText("a_size");
but I have other code for getting attribute values that goes like this:
$_product_helper = Mage::helper('catalog/output');
$temp = $_product_helper->productAttribute($_product, $_product->getASize(), 'a_size');
I think it is related to the type of attribute: text, dropdown, multiselect etc so try both and see how you get on. But really the function productAttribute() is just applying formatting. You can read the function in the file app/core/Mage/Catalog/Helper/Output.php
Also, I wonder, if you have set up a configurable product and you are on the product view page then you will be viewing the configurable product. That product won't have an a_size value: you are trying to access the a_size attribute of the simple products that make up the configurable product, yes? Everything I wrote above is (I think) correct but to get the attribute of the simple products that are part of a configured product you should study the code in the function getJsonConfig() of the file app/core/Mage/Catalog/Block/Product/View/Type/Configurable.php
And in particular to these lines:
//file: file app/core/Mage/Catalog/Block/Product/View/Type/Configurable.php
//class: Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_View_Type_Configurable
//function: getJsonConfig()
foreach ($this->getAllowProducts() as $product) {
$productId = $product->getId();
foreach ($this->getAllowAttributes() as $attribute) {
$productAttribute = $attribute->getProductAttribute();
$productAttributeId = $productAttribute->getId();
$attributeValue = $product->getData($productAttribute->getAttributeCode());
Being careful about variable naming: $product is local here, I suggest changing it, and about $this - but if you are in a .phtml of the product view for configurables then I think your $this is already Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_View_Type_Configurable
Welcome to Magento coding. You are doing well; it is a long but rewarding path. (hints: local.xml is your vital friend and so is Alan Storm if you haven't come across his content yet.)
[Additionally, (welcome to Magento) I think you are trying to say eg S and L are out of stock and M is in stock but actually the function getAllowProducts() will disallow a product with zero stock and exclude it from the returned object. You will need to use
$allProducts = $this->getProduct()->getTypeInstance(true)
->getUsedProducts(null, $this->getProduct());
(taken from function getAllowProducts() in file app/core/Mage/Catalog/Block/Product/View/Type/Configurable.php)
and then, if needed, check that each product is allowed to be shown eg status=ENABLED, and then check its stock level...
]
Malachy.
If you want to get the values of your drop down attribute use the following code
$_product->getASize();
and initially load the product object
I'm working with Magento CE 1.6 in a project where we need an easy way to fill the movie info in DVDs and Blu-Rays products for a reseller ecommerce. I'm set to use the Rotten Tomatoes API wich seems very adequate for our purposes, but here's the thing: We don't want to have to input every single detail of the movie in the New Product dialog, oppositely, we want to fetch the info automatically using the movie name as hint (the API perfectly supports this). I though that we could achieve this by two means:
Having the administrator to enter only the names of the movies and
create and run periodically a script that fetches the rest of the
info with the API and updates the data directly in the DB. I've been
watching the DB changes when a product is saved and would'nt like to
do that.
Editing the Magento code to make the new product form auto fillable,
maybe with ajax, once a movie name is entered. Zend framework isn't
my strong and seems kind of hard too.
Am I seeing this problem from the rigth angle? Is there maybe another API? Or a Magento extension? Or another ecommerce?!
I would suggest a little different approach. Enhancing the Admin interface is difficult, but possible. Here is an easier way.
Method #1 - Quick and Easy
Create yourself a script that would go through a list of products. You can select them by attribute type, category, or even just select them all! Then, loop through that collection, and for each product, grab the title, query the movie API, and set the product's attributes. Then, save the product, and move to the next one. Something like this:
Note: Be sure to create your custom attributes in the admin and assign them to the attribute set.
<?php
require_once 'app/Mage.php';
umask(0);
Mage::app('default');
function getVideoDataFromAPI($title)
{
// get your data from the API here...
return $data;
}
$collection = Mage::getResourceModel('catalog/product_collection')
->addAttributeToFilter('attribute_set_id', $yourAttributeSetId)
->addAttributeToFilter('year', ''); // <-- Set a field here that will be empty by default, and filled by the API. This is '' because it won't be null.
foreach ( $collection->getAllIds() as $id ) {
$product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($id);
$videoData = getVideoDataFromAPI($product->getName());
if ( empty($videoData) ) { continue; }
$product->setYear($videoData['year'])
->setRating($videoData['rating'])
->save();
}
?>
Method #2 - Do the above, but in a custom extension
I always like extensions over scripts. They are more secure and more powerful. With an extension you could have an admin list of the products, can filter them how ever you would like, and have a mass action to pull the video data manually. You could also set it up on a cron job to pull regularly.
I have written code that automatically imports products basically something like:
$product->setName('my name');
$product->save();
This is fine for free fill text boxes, but how would I go about setting say manufacturer, which is a drop down menu? Is there also a way that if the option doesnt exist, then it will automagically add it?
Thanks
This is tested in 1.5.0.1, you just need to target the correct attribute ID. As #B00MER stated, the attribute will not be created that you are targetting but if the attribute exist, this will create the options.
$eav_entity_setup = new Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Setup('core_setup');
$new_option['attribute_id'] = $id;
$new_option['value']['_custom_'.$value][0] = $value;
$eav_entity_setup->addAttributeOption($new_option);
Documentation about addAttributeOption can be found here.
http://freegento.com/doc/d0/d7b/_eav_2_model_2_entity_2_setup_8php-source.html#l00603
You will need to create the functionality yourself unfortunately. And by default Magento will not 'automagically' create a option if one doesn't pre-exist.
To simply set the ID of the value you want (Say Sony was ID 12) you can do:
$product->setData('mfr', '12');
However you may find a lot more insight here on steps to do what your looking for:

I want to get the name of the shipping method the user has chosen during checkout. Does anyone know how to retrieve that info?
This will get it to some extent but it is cached:
Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session')->getQuote()->getShippingAddress()->getShippingDescription();
When I am on the onestep checkout and I go back to the shipping tab and change the shipping, it is still holding the old shipping method. I need to figure out how to get the current one.
Foreword
Constructed from Magento app/code/core/Mage/Checkout/Block/Onepage/Shipping/Method/Available.php and others:
app/design/frontend/base/default/template/checkout/onepage/shipping_method/available.phtml uses this code to determine which shipping method was selected:
$this->getAddressShippingMethod()
app/code/core/Mage/Checkout/Block/Onepage/Shipping/Method/Available.php expands that code to this:
return $this->getAddress()->getShippingMethod();
Let's research a bit and expand it even deeper:
$this->getQuote()->getShippingAddress()->getShippingMethod();
Parent block expands method getQuote():
return $this->getCheckout()->getQuote();
And deeper:
public function getChechout() {
return Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session');
}
Merging all that code gives us this:
Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session')->getQuote()->getShippingAddress()->getShippingMethod()
That gives you the shipping method code. Giving that, you could manipulate it just as you wish. This data is stored within the database, so when you change shipping method, the code changes too.
Getting deeper and deeper!
If you've ever created your own shipping method, you'd know, that it has the method called collectRates().
It fills a set of shipping/rate_result_method models, stores it within the instance of shipping/rate_result model and returns it (you can get each model' instance using Mage::getModel(<model i've named>); ).
Yet, note: one could contain multiple rate_result_method instances, while the shipping method code is the same for all those instances!
Thus, in order to get the description, you need to get one of the rate_result_method instances and retrieve its methodTitle or carrierTitle.
After a small researching i've found how to retrieve all these rates:
Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session')->getQuote()->getShippingAddress()->getShippingRatesCollection()
This will provide you with a collection of all rates for the selected shipping method. You can operate it with getItems() and get a hash. Or you could use getFirstItem() and use it as the template.
Anyway, let's assume u've retrieved some item of that collection and stored it within the $rate variable:
$rate->getCarrier(); // This will provide you with the carrier code
$rate->getCarrierTitle(); // This will give you the carrier title
$rate->getCode(); // This will give you **current shipping method** code
$rate->getMethod(); // This will provide you with the **shipping method** code
$rate->getMethodTitle(); // This will tell you current shipping method title
$rate->getMethodDescription(); // And this is the description of the current shipping method and **it could be NULL**
That's all, folks!
I am really sorry for my poor English and for my strange mind flow. Hope this will help you or someone else. Thanks!
Just in case you need it still. You can get shipping method from order by:
$order->getShippingMethod();
Of course how you get your $order depends on context.
Also you can get description by:
$order->getShippingDescription();
shipping method in magento
$methods = Mage::getSingleton('shipping/config')->getActiveCarriers();
$options = array();
foreach($methods as $_code => $_method)
{
if(!$_title = Mage::getStoreConfig("carriers/$_code/title"))
$_title = $_code;
$options[] = array('value' => $_code, 'label' => $_title . " ($_code)");
}
echo "<xmp>";
print_r($options);
echo "</xmp>";
In your checkout controller you need to add extra steps to save your quote if you want this information to be accessible to you.
I added a few '$quote->save();' entries to get this to work, however, I cannot definitively say which entry is the one that did the fix. I also cannot find the link on Magento forums, however, I hope I have given you a head start on what is going on.
You could override the saveShippingMethodAction() function in the Mage_Checkout_OnepageController, or extend upon it, and save the method into the registry by inserting:
Mage::register('blahShippingMethod', $this->getRequest()->getPost('shipping_method'));
and call upon it as you need it: Mage::registry('blahShippingMethod');
Don't forget to unset it when you no longer need it as you will run into an error if you try to reset when it's already been set.
Mage::unregister('blahShippingMethod');
I am developing an online store for my customer and, we only have one website in our Magento setup.
In the admin panel when I go to Add a customer screen, in the "Associate to Website" field I see "Admin" selected by default. I would like to have my website there by default.
I think one possible way would be to write some code in:
Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Customer_Edit_Tab_Account::initForm
The cleanest way to do this is the just set the default value in your database. This will require no code changes at all.
UPDATE eav_attribute
SET default_value = 1
WHERE attribute_code = 'website_id'
The sample MySQL statement above sets your default website_id to 1.
Or You can simply edit array in:
Mage_Customer_Model_Customer_Attribute_Source_Website::getAllOptions()
I took the hint from Lrrr's answer and populated the drop-down with only user added websites, that is "Please Select" and "Admin" are no more available as options there by adding the following line:
$form->getElement('website_id')->setValues(Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/system_store')->getWebsiteValuesForForm());
at the end of this function:
Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Customer_Edit_Tab_Account::initForm
The ideal way would be of course to override the above function in one's own module, but in our case overriding the above class creates conflict for another extension that we have installed, so I took this way round.
