Magento get all products - magento

I am trying to get the entire magento product collection, without any filters or restrictions, but I fail to get all products.
I've tried various methods already, but they all give me a very limited selection of products. Let's say the store contains 5000 products, but it only shows 500. When I check the catalog -> products is does show me the entire list.
Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->getCollection();
Mage::getResourceModel('catalog/product_collection')->addAttributeToSelect('*');
Mage::getModel("catalog/product")->getResourceCollection()->load();
All of them return the same amount (500), while I expect it to give me 5000 products. I would prefer not to use Zend or PHP and just stick to the Magento way to get them.
Does anyone know how to really get ALL products or can point me in the right direction why this isn't working?
The select-string that is returned is:
SELECT 1 AS `status`, `e`.`entity_id`, `e`.`type_id`, `e`.`attribute_set_id` FROM `catalog_product_flat_4` AS `e`

//to overwrite limit but you need first to increase your memory limit
$collection = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->getCollection()
->addAttributeToSelect('*') // select all attributes
->setPageSize(5000) // limit number of results returned
->setCurPage(1); // set the offset (useful for pagination)
// we iterate through the list of products to get attribute values
foreach ($collection as $product) {
echo $product->getName(); //get name
echo (float) $product->getPrice(); //get price as cast to float
echo $product->getDescription(); //get description
echo $product->getShortDescription(); //get short description
echo $product->getTypeId(); //get product type
echo $product->getStatus(); //get product status
// getCategoryIds(); returns an array of category IDs associated with the product
foreach ($product->getCategoryIds() as $category_id) {
$category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($category_id);
echo $category->getName();
echo $category->getParentCategory()->getName(); // get parent of category
}
//gets the image url of the product
echo Mage::getBaseUrl(Mage_Core_Model_Store::URL_TYPE_MEDIA).
'catalog/product'.$product->getImage();
echo $product->getSpecialPrice();
echo $product->getProductUrl(); //gets the product url
echo '<br />';
}

And something like this:
$products = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->getCollection();
foreach($products as $prod) {
$product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($prod->getId());
}
With this method I get more than 500 but all my product...

Several possibilities here:
1. Some inner limitation, like 500 at all.
2. Some paging limitation. Products per page(in db abstract)
3. Some lazyload limitation.
Perhaps, there is some over problem, but I think this is some inner limit.

Turn off your flat_catalog_product in admin > system > configuration > catalog > catalog. After this you will get a full product collection. Even though this is a workaround, it helped me to achieve what I needed to achieve.

You might be using Flat Catalog Product Structure . This create separate table for each store view.
Use Code below to print sql query . you will see the collection is coming from flat table like
catalog_product_flat_38
echo Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->getCollection()->getSelect();

try using
Mage::app()->setCurrentStore('0');
// same as
Mage::app()->setCurrentStore(Mage_Core_Model_App::ADMIN_STORE_ID);
this hepled me

Magento cart sort by category_id

I am trying to sort out items in cart by categroy_id:
$cartItems = Mage::getModel("checkout/cart")->getItems()
->addFieldToSelect('name')
->addFieldToSelect('category_id')
->addAttributeToSort('category_id', 'ASC');
echo $cartItems->getSelect(); //debug info
foreach($cartItems as $item) {
echo $this->getItemHtml($item);
}
Magento complaints that method addAttributeToSort does not exists, had a look and of course it isn't defined.
What is the proper way of doing this query?
Otherwise,
you can try the following code:
$collection = Mage::getModel('checkout/cart')->getItems()
->addFieldToSelect('name')
->addFieldToSelect('category_id')
->addOrder('category_id', 'asc');
addAttributeToSort() does work on certain collections, but not the checkout/cart Model.
I hope this helps!
When you run Mage::getModel("checkout/cart")->getItems() you get a collection of quote items, not products. So there is no category_id on the table sales_flat_quote_item that you can access.
If you want access to the product you have to loop your collection of quote items and run ->getProduct() on each item. Then you could call functions on the product, like ->getCategoryIds() to get a list of category ids that has the product assigned to it.

Default Sorting not working for category products in magento

I am working on assignment where I need to have unassign the category previous products & need to dynamically assign the bestseller products(top 20)..I am using following code for that:-
$_productCollection = Mage::getModel("catalog/product")->getCollection()
->addAttributeToSelect(array('name', 'price', 'small_image'))
->addAttributeToSort("entity_id","DESC")
->setVisibility(Mage::getSingleton('catalog/product_visibility')->getVisibleInSiteIds())
->setPageSize($productCount);
// Delete Existing Mapped product from Category
$delQuery = 'Delete from catalog_category_product where category_id ='.$catId;
$writeConnection->query($delQuery);
foreach($_productCollection as $product){
$categoryIds = $product->getCategoryIds();
if (!in_array($catId, $categoryIds)) {
$write->query("replace into
`catalog_category_product` (category_id,product_id,position)
VALUES (?,?,0)",array($catId,$product->getEntityId()));
}
}
$process = Mage::getModel('index/indexer')->getProcessByCode('catalog_category_product');
$process->reindexAll();
$category->save();
Code is working fine but once the dynamic products are assigned to that specific category backend sorting (Default Product List Sort By) for that category products stopped working..I doubt it may be because position is 0 for each replaced product in my query but not yet sure.
If anybody have any suggestions it would be really helpful.
The position you have entered in the table is 0 for all products. Magento will then by default sort the products by the order they have been inserted into the category table rather than position.
You need to modify the position accordingly for every product to be able to display them as per default sorting(which is done using position attribute).

Magento set products category sort number programmatically

I am importing data from oscommerce to magento for one of my clients.
All data including products, categories, and customers has been imported successfully. The last thing left is adding a product sort number after setting their categories.
I need following steps:
Import products -> assign categories to product -> set product sort order (display order) from the oscommerce table.
I searched a lot, but I was not able to find the method to set a product's sort order in a particular category.
Any help will be deeply appreciated.
Product's sort order in a category is by default determined by the position column in 'Category Products' tab in Manage Categories section.
I guess you need to bulk update the sort orders of the products per category. Assuming that you may need to write a php script, that can update the 'position' column in table 'catalog_category_product' in database using sql queries.
File can be kept at the root directory in your magento installation. Below code is just to give an idea, you need to modify/add/remove code in order to complete it as per your requirement and then hit the file from your browser.
<?php
$mageFilename = 'app/Mage.php';
require_once $mageFilename;
Mage::setIsDeveloperMode(true);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
umask(0);
Mage::app('admin');
Mage::register('isSecureArea', 1);
Mage::app()->setCurrentStore(Mage_Core_Model_App::ADMIN_STORE_ID);
set_time_limit(0);
ini_set('memory_limit','1024M');
/***************** UTILITY FUNCTIONS ********************/
function _getConnection($type = 'core_read'){
return Mage::getSingleton('core/resource')->getConnection($type);
}
function _getTableName($tableName){
return Mage::getSingleton('core/resource')->getTableName($tableName);
}
function _updatePosition($position, $categoryId, $productId){
$connection = _getConnection('core_write');
$sql = "UPDATE " . _getTableName('catalog_category_product') . " ccp
SET ccp.position = ?
WHERE ccp.category_id = ?
AND ccp.product_id = ?";
$connection->query($sql, array($position, $categoryId, $productId));
}
hope this help !

Magento Pre Order Product with Date attribute

I am new to Magento and maybe its a very basic question, but I want to display Pre-Order products on my home page. I have created an attribute Product_Release_Date and set it to a future date. When I try to get Product_Release_Date its returning blank. What I am doing wrong?
$_productCollection=$this->getLoadedProductCollection(); to get all products
foreach ($_productCollection as $_product):
<?php $currentDate = Mage::getModel('core/date')->date('Y-m-d H:i:s'); to get current date for compare
echo $_product->getResource()->getAttribute('Product_Release_Date');
When I try to display its showing blank, but it returns productName and other things. Only this date is not showing. Please help or provide some tutorial where it shows how to enable pre-order.
The $_product->getResource()->getAttribute('Product_Release_Date'); line is only loading the attribute collection. You can do this after to see what it contains: var_dump($_product->getResource()->getAttribute('Product_Release_Date'));. If it's NULL then make sure your new attribute is really set to Product_Release_Date and not product_release_date (lower-case).
You can use a "magic get" to retrieve the value, like this:
echo $_product->getProductReleaseDate();
Here is a fairly recent tutorial on how to enable display of out-of-stock items:
http://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/edu/magento/103-magento-products-and-inventory-settings/how-to-display-products-that-are-out-of-stock-in-magento
Its very likely the product attribute "Product_Release_Date" is not in the loaded product collection.
If you need to get it then load the products from Magento Product Resource Model
$productCollection = Mage::getResourceModel('catalog/product_collection')->addAttributeToSelect('*');
foreach($productCollection as $product):
echo '<br/>' . $product->getProductReleaseDate();
endforeach;

Retrieve all product IDs associated with a Catalog Price Rule in Magento

I need a way to retrieve product IDs associated with a Catalog Price Rule promotion (ex. 50% the price of all items in the BICYCLES category). I'd like to do this without having to iterate through the entire product database.
I know there is a function called getRuleProductIds($ruleID), which should return an array of product IDs by rule ID, but I have no idea where to use it, which collection to associate it with, etc.
I have the following code in a products_in_promotion.phtml template:
<?php
$rules = Mage::getModel('catalogrule/rule');
$collection = $rules->getCollection();
$sale_items = $collection->getRuleProductIds(1); # ??????? this throws an error
?>
$collection properly stores an array of all the Catalog Price rules, but that's as close as I can get. No product list is in sight.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here?
You don't have to get it as a collection. Just load the rule that you want and use getMatchingProductIds as found in Mage_CatalogRule_Model_Rule (aka catalogrule/rule).
$catalog_rule = Mage::getModel('catalogrule/rule')->load(1); // Rule ID
$skus = $catalog_rule->getMatchingProductIds();
var_dump($skus);
hth
If you have many products in your store then this is the efficient way. You may add website_id, custom_group_id in where class to be more specific.
$resource = Mage::getSingleton('core/resource');
$connection = $resource->getConnection('core_read');
$tableName = $resource->getTableName('catalogrule_product');
$productIdList = $connection->fetchAll('SELECT product_id as product_id FROM '.$tableName.' WHERE rule_id = 1);
It worked for me after adding website filter to the code suggested by seanbreeden.
$catalog_rule = Mage::getModel('catalogrule/rule')->load(1); // Rule ID
$catalog_rule->addWebsiteFilter('1');
$skus = $catalog_rule->getMatchingProductIds();
var_dump($skus);
