How can I add a calendar popup in the Magento frontend for a custom form?
Just add this code in your indexAction():
$this->loadLayout();
$blockCal = $this->getLayout()->createBlock(
'Mage_Core_Block_Html_Calendar',
'html_calendar',
array('template' => 'page/js/calendar.phtml')
);
$this->getLayout()->getBlock('content')->append($blockCal);
$headBlock = $this->getLayout()->getBlock('head');
$headBlock->addJs('calendar/calendar.js');
$headBlock->addJs('calendar/lang/calendar-en.js');
$headBlock->addJs('calendar/calendar-setup.js');
you can also define it in a layout file like this:
<reference name="head">
<action method="addItem"><type>js_css</type><name>calendar/calendar-win2k-1.css</name><params/><!--<if/><condition>can_load_calendar_js</condition>--></action>
<action method="addItem"><type>js</type><name>calendar/calendar.js</name><!--<params/><if/><condition>can_load_calendar_js</condition>--></action>
<action method="addItem"><type>js</type><name>calendar/calendar-setup.js</name><!--<params/><if/><condition>can_load_calendar_js</condition>--></action>

Recently I have added attributes to the product color and size. (configurable products)
When we add to cart, and go to view cart then we see the products with attributes color and size.
I added shopping cart block in onepage checkout in app/design/frontend/smartwave/porto/layout/iwd_opc.xml
<reference name="content">
<block type="checkout/cart" name="checkout.cart" template="checkout/cart.phtml">
<block type="checkout/cart_coupon" name="checkout.cart.coupon" as="coupon" template="checkout/cart/coupon.phtml"/>
<block type="checkout/cart_totals" name="checkout.cart.totals" as="totals" template="checkout/cart/totals.phtml"/>
<block type="checkout/cart_sidebar" name="checkout.cart.sidebar" as="sidebar" template="checkout/cart/sidebar.phtml"/>
</block>
</reference>
I get the following page after adding shopping cart layout to onepage cart
Now I am stuck here, how should I get the attributes name here?
I have set attributes to be visible on frontend from backend as well.
Code to display products in the cart is on app/design/frontend/smartwave/porto/template/checkout/cart.phtml
<?php foreach($this->getItems() as $_item): ?>
<?php echo $this->getItemHtml($_item) ?>
<?php endforeach ?>
Logic of the code is written over here: app/code/core/Mage/Checkout/Block
public function getItems()
{
if ($this->getCustomItems()) {
return $this->getCustomItems();
}
return parent::getItems();
}
Another way of displaying the products to the cart is: But I dont want to use this code to display the list in the cart:
$cart = Mage::getModel('checkout/cart')->getQuote();
foreach ($cart->getAllItems() as $item) {
$productName = $item->getProduct()->getName();
$productPrice = $item->getProduct()->getPrice();
echo "Name: ".$productName." Price: ".$productPrice;
}
I have also tried to add attributes in xml file
app/code/core/Mage/Sales/etc/config.xml
<item>
<product_attributes>
<color/>
<size/>
<condition/>
<sku/>
<type_id/>
<name/>
<status/>
<visibility/>
<price/>
<weight/>
<url_path/>
<url_key/>
<thumbnail/>
<small_image/>
<tax_class_id/>
<special_from_date/>
<special_to_date/>
<special_price/>
<cost/>
<is_recurring/>
<recurring_profile/>
<gift_message_available/>
<msrp_enabled/>
<msrp/>
<msrp_display_actual_price_type/>
</product_attributes>
</item>
So I have just copied the block to the onepage checkout page, but I am not able to understand that why the onepage checkout page is not showing product's size and color ("/onepage/") and it is strange that color and sizes can be seen on checkout page ("checkout/cart/")
Thanks in advance
I believe you have not added itemrendere in your layout. Basically cart items are listed using checkout/cart/item/default.phtml.
I will suggest to look over checkout.xml layout file and copy the whole layout <reference name="content"> node into your iwd and then start removing the template includes which you do not require.
Another method is using layout updates which will extend your iwd layout to checkout_cart. Which will do same thing above. You need to use <remove name=""> tag to remove extra cart includes from your iwd handle.
Finally I found the solution with the help of Blastfreak
Include following lines in app/design/frontend/smartwave/porto/layout/iwd_opc.xml
<reference name="content">
<block type="checkout/cart" name="checkout.cart" template="checkout/cart.phtml">
<block type="checkout/cart_coupon" name="checkout.cart.coupon" as="coupon" template="checkout/cart/coupon.phtml"/>
<block type="checkout/cart_totals" name="checkout.cart.totals" as="totals" template="checkout/cart/totals.phtml"/>
<block type="checkout/cart_sidebar" name="checkout.cart.sidebar" as="sidebar" template="checkout/cart/sidebar.phtml"/>
<action method="addItemRender"><type>simple</type><block>checkout/cart_item_renderer</block><template>checkout/cart/item/default.phtml</template></action>
<action method="addItemRender"><type>grouped</type><block>checkout/cart_item_renderer_grouped</block><template>checkout/cart/item/default.phtml</template></action>
<action method="addItemRender"><type>configurable</type><block>checkout/cart_item_renderer_configurable</block><template>checkout/cart/item/default.phtml</template></action>
</block>

Output page:
Im looking for solution to define layout handle for whole controller insteat of controller_action. For example i want to define:
<mymodule_index></mymodule_index>
instead of
<mymodule_index_index></mymodule_index_index>
<mymodule_index_someaction></mumodule_index_someaction>
Thanks.
You can add a layout handle by running this :
$update = $this->getLayout()->getUpdate();
$update->addHandle('mymodule_index')
You can then add this piece of code to a protected "_initHandles" function within your controller that you would run for every action.
In my controller I've (re)implemented this method
public function loadLayout($handles = null, $generateBlocks = true, $generateXml = true)
{
return parent::loadLayout(array('default','mymodule_index'),$generateBlocks,$generateXml);
}
which will add an update handle called mymodule_index (not loosing the default one) for every controller's action.
You'll need to call loadLayout() in every controller's action, but that's how magento works...
please try below code....
public function indexAction(){
{
...
$update = $this->getLayout()->getUpdate();
$update->addHandle('mymodule_index');
$this->loadLayoutUpdates();
$this->generateLayoutXml()->generateLayoutBlocks();
$this->renderLayout();
}
public function samelocationAction(){
{
...
$update = $this->getLayout()->getUpdate();
$update->addHandle('mymodule_index');
$this->loadLayoutUpdates();
$this->generateLayoutXml()->generateLayoutBlocks();
$this->renderLayout();
}
I've found solution. In each next update you must provide <update handle="" /> like this:
<companies_catalog>
<label>Companies (All Pages)</label>
<reference name="root">
<action method="setTemplate"><template>page/2columns-left.phtml</template></action>
</reference>
<reference name="left">
<block type="businesscategory/companies_navigation" name="companies.navigation" before="-" template="businesscategory/companies/navigation.phtml" />
</reference>
</companies_catalog>
<companies_catalog_index>
<label>Companies (All Pages)</label>
<update handle="companies_catalog" />
<reference name="content">
<block type="businesscategory/companies_list" name="companies.list" template="businesscategory/companies/list.phtml" />
</reference>
</companies_catalog_index>
<companies_catalog_view>
<label>Company page</label>
<update handle="companies_catalog" />
<reference name="content">
<block type="businesscategory/companies_view" name="company.info" template="businesscategory/companies/view.phtml" />
</reference>
</companies_catalog_view>
After a lot of searching, I finally found a solution to add Layered navigation to the Magento Home Page. At first glance, it was working properly with filtered results as expected.
However, there is a catch as the URLs for the filtered results all have an added 'root-catalog' in their urls. This causes a 404 - however, if I take out the 'root-catalog' the urls are working fine.
What am I missing? Please help!
Help is appreciated in advance!
Code to add layered navigation to home page:
<reference name="left">
<block type="catalog/navigation" name="catalog.cat.leftnav" before="sidenav.left" template="catalog/navigation/left.phtml"/>
<block type="catalog/layer_view" name="catalog.leftnav" after="catalog.cat.leftnav" template="catalog/layer/view.phtml"/>
<action method="unsetChild"><alias>right.reports.product.viewed</alias></action>
<action method="unsetChild"><alias>right.reports.product.compared</alias></action>
</reference>
<reference name="content">
<block type="catalog/product_list" name="product_home" template="catalog/product/list.phtml">
<action method="setCategoryId">[b]<category_id>3</category_id>[/b]</action>
<block type="catalog/product_list_toolbar" name="product_list_toolbar" template="catalog/product/list/toolbar.phtml">
<block type="page/html_pager" name="product_list_toolbar_pager" />
</block>
<action method="setToolbarBlockName"><name>product_list_toolbar</name></action>
</block>
</reference>
Layered navigation needs a category on which to base to get products, sub categories on which to filter, etc. On the homepage then, it takes the root category by default, and the corresponding product collection acts like it would do on other "common" category pages : it uses URL rewrites linking to the current category.
To prevent current category to be used in product URL, you can rewrite the layer model by copying the file app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Model/Layer.php to app/code/local/Mage/Catalog/Model/, and changing the prepareProductCollection($collection) in it with something like this :
public function prepareProductCollection($collection)
{
$collection
->addAttributeToSelect(Mage::getSingleton('catalog/config')->getProductAttributes())
->addMinimalPrice()
->addFinalPrice()
->addTaxPercents();
if ($this->getCurrentCategory()->getId() == $this->getCurrentStore()->getRootCategoryId()) {
$collection->addUrlRewrite(0);
} else {
$collection->addUrlRewrite($this->getCurrentCategory()->getId());
}
Mage::getSingleton('catalog/product_status')->addVisibleFilterToCollection($collection);
Mage::getSingleton('catalog/product_visibility')->addVisibleInCatalogFilterToCollection($collection);
return $this;
}
I use this tutorial and display products on the basis of multiple categories but now I am getting in issue is that the pager tool bar not working on that.
My block code is :
<reference name="content">
<block name="mymodule" type="mymodule/product_listcategories" template="catalog/product/list.phtml">
<action method="setCategories">
<ids>2,3,4</ids>
</action>
</block>
</reference>
I also add this code with above
<block type="catalog/product_list_toolbar" name="product_list_toolbar" template="catalog/product/list/toolbar.phtml">
<block type="page/html_pager" name="product_list_toolbar_pager"/>
</block>
<action method="setToolbarBlockName"><name>product_list_toolbar</name></action>
</block>
It display toolbar but the toolbar is not working (limit,orderby).
My block code is
class Mymodule_Block_Product_Listcategories extends Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_List
{
protected function _getProductCollection()
{
$this->_productCollection = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->getCollection();
$this->_productCollection->addAttributeToSelect('*');
if($this->getCategories()!="")
$this->_productCollection->addCategoriesFilter($this->getCategories());
return $this->_productCollection;
}
}
}
Does anyone know where is the problem? I think I'm missing some code for the pager? Thanks in advance
After search so much i got a solution.I didn't know whether it right or wrong way but it solve my problem.On my block i create intance of
$cpBlock = $this->getLayout()->getBlockSingleton('Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_List_Toolbar');
and access the pager core function like $this->_itemPerPage = $cpBlock->getLimit(); .In the above code itemperpage is the total no of items to be displayed on listing page.This code work if you create custom module and extend you block from list block.Thanks
Is there a way to get breadcrumbs to appear on the top of my sitemap page?
I want my breadcrumbs to display on ALL pages, and these are the only pages I can't get them to display on.
I added this to the top of the display container file and its not working... Any ideas?
<?php echo $this->getLayout()->getBlock("breadcrumbs")->toHtml()?>
You need also add actual crumbs to the list by calling addCrumb() function. It is defined in Mage_Page_Block_Html_Breadcrumbs class. You can achieve like this:
<?php
echo $this->getLayout()->getBlock("breadcrumbs")->
->addCrumb('CrumbName', array('label' => 'this will appear as link text', 'title' => 'title attribute of link', 'link' => 'url to the page')
->toHtml()
?>
You can also do this in xml config file. In catalog.xml catalog_seo_sitemap handler do the following changes:
<reference name="root">
<action method="setTemplate"><template>page/1column.phtml</template></action>
<action method="unsetChild"><alias>breadcrumbs</alias></action>
<block type="page/html_breadcrumbs" name="breadcrumbs" as="breadcrumbs">
<action method="addCrumb"><crumbName>Name</crumbName><crumbInfo><label>Test</label><title>Test</title><link>/test.html</link></crumbInfo></action>
</block>
