I have a Magento store which needs different prices for each site, which restricts me to using different websites for each, as stores or views won't let me set different prices for the same items.
However, I need to be able to allow the customer to switch store, and for their current basket to stay with them. This would include updating the prices to those in the new website.
I've set Share Customer Accounts to Global and Catalog Price Scope to Website.
I also have an initial changer:
<?php $websites=Mage::app()->getWebsites();?>
<?php if(count($websites)>1): ?>
<fieldset class="store-switcher">
<label for="select-store"><?php echo $this->__('Select Store') ?>:</label>
<select id="select-store" onchange="location.href=this.value">
<?php foreach ($websites as $website): ?>
<?php $_selected = ($website->getCode() == Mage::app()->getWebsite()->getCode()) ? ' selected="selected"' : '' ?>
<option value="<?php echo $website->getDefaultStore()->getBaseUrl()?>"<?php echo $_selected ?>><?php echo $this->htmlEscape($website->getName()) ?></option>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</select>
</fieldset>
<?php endif; ?>
Is this achievable? Or is it back to the drawing board?
Info: Magento ver. 1.6.2.0
Also: The websites I wish to share the cart between are on the same domain, and have the same frontend cookie value. (which I assume is the SID).
This is an old fix to share cart contents (1.3 or 1.4) I used and may no longer be valid for 1.6, but give it a shot.
Edit the following template for your theme: template/page/switch/stores.phtml
Add to stores.phtml
$sessionID = Mage::getModel('core/session')->getSessionId();
Paste the new option value I included below over the the existing option value
<option value="<?php if(strpos($_group->getHomeUrl(),"?")===false){ echo $_group->getHomeUrl()."?SID=".$sessionID; }else{ if(strpos($_group->getHomeUrl(),"&SID=")===false){ echo $_group->getHomeUrl()."&SID=".$sessionID; }else{ echo $_group->getHomeUrl();}} ?>" <?php echo $_selected ?>><?php echo $this->htmlEscape($_group->getName()) ?></option>
Then create or modify a template to include static links to the individual stores to switch back and forth (eg: in the header). This fix did not work for the store switcher itself, but worked fine with these links.
You are in store A. Goto Store B.
As best I can tell it is not possible to share carts between websites by design. Though by store within a website works fine.

I have one simple question.
My problem is:
Is there are any free extensions that could turn "Enable Qty Increments" and "Qty Increments" from global scope to store view?
Also I have found this question inventory settings
It's have some kind of answer, but I need to confirm this.
If there are no free extension that could fulfill my needs, do I need to write my own extension (as answer in previous link says) or there is an easy way to change scope from global to store view. ?
My Magento version is CE 1.9.1.0
What you could do to achieve the same thing is create a new product text attribute called pack_size, give it a per store view scope, then set the order quantity against it per product, per store view.
Then, in your addtocart.phtml file, here;
app/design/frontend/XXX/YYY/template/catalog/product/view/addtocart.phtml
Where XXX YYY is the name of your theme, and replace the quantity input box with;
<?php $pack = $_product->getData('pack_size'); ?>
<?php if(($pack == 1) || (!$pack)) { ?>
<input type="text" name="qty" id="qty" maxlength="4" value="1" />
<?php } else { ?>
<select name="qty" id="qty" maxlength="12">
<?php
$countme = 1;
while ($countme < 101) {
echo '<option value="'.($pack*$countme).'">'.($pack*$countme).'</option>';
$countme++; } ?>
</select>
Now if the value of pack_offer is set and greater than 1, the user will only be able to choose a multiple of that qty.
Depending on your theme, you may also need to implement this in the cart page.
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($_link->getProductUrl());
And then use this url
Link
I still have the problem that the created sitemap.xml just added
www.website.com/product instead of
www.website.com/category/product
even if "Use Categories Path for Product URLs" is set to YES
One of our Vendors has a real time inventory system and we would like to implement it into our site. When a person clicks on the product, it should check the inventory and update as necessary. This works ok at best. The problem is when the product switches to in/out of stock. It updates properly in the backend, but I am unable to get the addtocart button to be added/removed. This is my code for updating the stock:
//$_stockQTY is the realtime inventory result
$stockData = Mage::getModel('cataloginventory/stock_item');
$stockData->loadByProduct($_product->getId());
$stockData->setData('qty', $_stockQTY);
$stockData->setData('is_in_stock',($_stockQTY > 0) ? 1 : 0);
if ($stockData->dataHasChangedFor('qty')) {
$stockData->save();
$_product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($_product->getId());
}
As you can see, I am force reloading the product when qty is changed. This seems to work for everything but the addtocart button. It shows the previous result (In stock or out of stock before the reload.)
I have 2 questions:
Is there a better way to reload a product other than reassigning it as I am doing above:
$_product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($_product->getId());
And why is it that everything is updating properly, but the addtocart which uses the same
$_product->isSaleable()
call that our availability, etc uses.
Compare:
<?php if($_product->isSaleable()): ?>
<p class="availability in-stock"><img src="<?php echo $this->getSkinUrl('images/stock.png') ?>"> <span><?php echo $this->__('In stock') ?></span>
...
?>
To
<?php if($_product->isSaleable()): ?>
<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('addtocart') ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('alert_urls') ?> //Only Shows up if addtocart does not.
Refreshing the page will update the product properly, but doing a meta refresh or anything of the sorts is out of the question. I appreciate any advice that could be given as I would like to get this resolved and on to the next task.
Unless I'm misunderstanding your question, it appears the thorn in your side is the stock status index.
Try this:
Mage::getSingleton('cataloginventory/stock_status')->updateStatus($_product->getId());
(I haven't tested this, but it looks like it ought to work)
Using Codeigniter and Datamapper: I have 2 tables: tags and clients. Clients can have many tags, tags can have many clients. I am using a separate join table to save the relationships.
I have a page for managing an individual tag, where I am iterating through every client, and want to check if each one is related to this tag.
The ???? in the code below determines if the checkbox is checked, it should be TRUE if the client has the tag, FALSE if not.
<h2>Manage Tag: <?php echo $tag->name; ?></h2>
<?php foreach ($clients as $client): ?>
<label>
<?php echo form_checkbox('client_id[]', $client->id, ????); ?>
<?php echo $client->name; ?>
</label>
<?php endforeach; ?>
How can I check if $client is related to $tag in this loop with Datamapper?
How about
$client->is_related_to($tag)
or
$client->is_related_to('tag', $tag->id)
See http://datamapper.wanwizard.eu/pages/count.html#is_related_to
Note that this will fire additional count() queries, you might be better of fetching $tag->clients, and then check in your loop if
isset($tag->clients->all[$client->id])
That's pretty much what I'm trying to do. All of my simple products are part of, at most, 1 configurable product, so there's no possibility for issues there.
This is necessary because I want my simple products (pillow in design X, color Y) to show in search, catalog but I need the user to know that the design exists in different colors once they click (presumably because they like design X but aren't necessarily sold on color Y). Further, my implementation of Color Swatches (extension) is causing my simple products (that are part of configurables) to behave funnily when accessed directly.
Thanks for any help.
Edit:
Here's the code I ended up using. I'm not a very good coder so make sure to improve it before deploying... (~In app/design/frontend/blah/blah/template/catalog/product/view.media.phtml)
<?php
/* THIS BLOCK ADDED BY __ ON 5/5/2011 */
$thisProductId = $_product['entity_id'];
$thisProductParentId = Mage::getResourceSingleton('catalog/product_type_configurable')->getParentIdsByChild($thisProductId);
if (!$thisProductParentId)
{
?>
<div class="more-views">
<h2><?php echo $this->__('More Views') ?></h2>
<ul>
<?php foreach ($this->getGalleryImages() as $_image): ?>
<li>
<img src="<?php echo $this->helper('catalog/image')->init($this->getProduct(), 'thumbnail', $_image->getFile())->resize(56); ?>" width="56" height="56" alt="<?php echo $this->htmlEscape($_image->getLabel()) ?>" />
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
</div>
<?php
}
else if ($thisProductParentId)
{
$_product_temp = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($thisProductParentId);
if($_product_temp->getStatus()==1)
{
$_categories = $_product_temp->getCategoryIds();
$_category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($_categories[0]);
$url = $this->getUrl($_category->getUrlPath()).$_product_temp->getUrlPath();
echo '<h1><a style="color:red;" href="'.$url.'">Click here to view this pillow design in different colors and styles.</a></h1>';
// redirect disabled because it won't preload the new color on the configurable image page anyway. (haven't attempted)
/* echo '<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
window.location = "'.$url.'"
//-->
</script>'; */
}
}
// -- end --
?>
The overwriting of the More Images gallery bit is a project-specific customization, so keep that in mind.
I went and wrote a bunch of code to try to do this, and forgot that this is already a simple use case, and Magento has it written for you:
Mage::getResourceSingleton('catalog/product_type_configurable')
->getParentIdsByChild($childId);
That snippet should give you all parent products for the child. If there is one, redirect to it. Otherwise, render the page as requested.
you have two options here :
add rewrite rules form catalog > url rewrite management
program an extension that makes the necessary check against product database and makes the redirect
