I am using magento and it's built in functionality for adding products to google base. I would like to change it so that it uses the Short description as the Description in Google base. As opposed to the detailed description.
According to this Screencast you should be able to setup attribute attribute mappings. Is that not working for you?
Looking deeper, I don't have a google base account, so I can't test this, BUT, when I search through the Google Base module it looks like this is where it's grabbing the description
app/code/core/Mage/GoogleBase/Model/Service/Item.php
protected function _setUniversalData()
{
//...
if ($object->getDescription()) {
$content = $service->newContent()->setText( $object->getDescription() );
$entry->setContent($content);
}
//...
}
My general approach here would be to create an override for the _setUniversalData method on the Mage_GoogleBase_Model_Service_Item class that looks something like this
protected function _setUniversalData()
{
parent::_setUniversalData();
//your code to parse through this object, find the long desription,
//and replace with the short. The following is pseudo code and just
//a guess at what would work
$service = $this->getService();
$object = $this->getObject();
$entry = $this->getEntry();
$new_text = $object->getShortDescription(); //not sure on getter method
$content = $service->newContent()->setText( $new_text );
$entry->setContent($content);
return $this;
}
Good luck!
Figured out all I had to do was change:
if ($object->getDescription()) {
$content = $service->newContent()->setText( $object->getDescription() );
$entry->setContent($content);
}
to
if ($object->getDescription()) {
$content = $service->newContent()->setText( $object->getShortDescription() );
$entry->setContent($content);
}
in app/code/core/Mage/GoogleBase/Model/Service/Item.php
I eventually got the module to work and managed to fix all errors.
I put together short step-by-step guide on how to set up the Magento Google Base feed, including account configuration, adding the condition attribute & mapping attributes and publishing them here http://blog.pod1.com/e-commerce/magento-google-base-feed/
Magento 1.7.0.2 Google Shopping 1.7.0.0
app/code/core/Mage/GoogleShopping/Model/Attribute/Content.php
Change $description = $this->getGroupAttributeDescription();
In $description = $this->getGroupAttributeShortDescription();

I am pretty new in Magento 2.0 and I have been struggling to find out solution. My first question, which I didn't figure out yet, how to reach specific function? Beacuse I noticed that many people use those in Magento 1.+:
Mage::helper('cms/page')->
or
Mage::getModel('catalog/product_media_config')
(e.g Get original image url Magento (1.6.1.0))
but I can't use them in Magento 2.0. If that kind of using is not available in last version anymore, what can I use it as an alternative method to reach functions?
As for another question, I am unable to get original sized image in grid.phtml (catalog listing). Here is how to get images:
<?php
echo $block->getImage($_item, $image)->getImageUrl();
echo $block->getImage($_item, $image)->getWidth();
echo $block->getImage($_item, $image)->getHeight();
?>
And the result like that:
http://192.168.1.4/magento/pub/media/catalog/product/cache/1/small_image/240x300/beff4985b56e3afdbeabfc89641a4582/t/h/thumbnail_1.jpg240300
As I mentioned above, I want to get original sized image url instead of small_image. I hope I explained my problems. If anyone has any idea, please let me know it. Thank you!
Use the below function to get the Media base url for a particular store:
function getMediaBaseUrl() {
$om = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();
$storeManager = $om->get('Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface');
$currentStore = $storeManager->getStore();
return $currentStore->getBaseUrl(\Magento\Framework\UrlInterface::URL_TYPE_MEDIA);
}
Using getMediaBaseUrl() function we can find image url in Magento2:
echo $block->getMediaBaseUrl() .'catalog/product'. $_product->getImage();
1) Quick Solution by directly writing media directory path
echo $block->getUrl().'pub/media/catalog/product' . $_product->getImage();
2) Getting media directory path using StoreManager class object
namespace YourNamespace\YourModule\Block;
class YourModule extends \Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template
{
protected $_storeManager;
public function __construct(
\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface $storeManager,
...
)
{
$this->_storeManager = $storeManager;
...
}
public function getMediaBaseUrl()
{
return $this->_storeManager
->getStore()
->getBaseUrl(\Magento\Framework\UrlInterface::URL_TYPE_MEDIA);
}
}
And then in your module's template (.phtml) file, you can write as:
echo $block->getMediaBaseUrl() . $_product->getImage();
Where and how I am overriding the save method in Joomla 3.0 custom component ?
Current situation:
Custom administrator component.
I have a list view that displays all people stored in table.
Clicking on one entry I get to the detailed view where a form is loaded and it's fields can be edited.
On save, the values are stored in the database. This all works fine.However, ....
When hitting save I wish to modify a field before storing it into the database. How do I override the save function and where? I have been searching this forum and googled quiet a bit to find ways to implement this. Anyone who give me a simple example or point me into the right direction ?
Thanks.
Just adding this for anyone who wants to know the answer to the question itself - this works if you explicitly wish to override the save function. However, look at the actual solution of how to manipulate values!
You override it in the controller, like this:
/**
* save a record (and redirect to main page)
* #return void
*/
function save()
{
$model = $this->getModel('hello');
if ($model->store()) {
$msg = JText::_( 'Greeting Saved!' );
} else {
$msg = JText::_( 'Error Saving Greeting' );
}
// Check the table in so it can be edited.... we are done with it anyway
$link = 'index.php?option=com_hello';
$this->setRedirect($link, $msg);
}
More details here: Joomla Docs - Adding Backend Actions
The prepareTable in the model (as mentioned above) is intended for that (prepare and sanitise the table prior to saving). In case you want to us the ID, though, you should consider using the postSaveHook in the controller:
protected function postSaveHook($model, $validData) {
$item = $model->getItem();
$itemid = $item->get('id');
}
The postSaveHook is called after save is done, thus allowing for newly inserted ID's to be used.
You can use the prepareTable function in the model file (administrator/components/yourComponent/models/yourComponent.php)
protected function prepareTable($table)
{
$table->fieldname = newvalue;
}
isn't this the right method to get Name of logged in customer?
<?php echo Mage::helper('customer')->getCustomer()->getName(); ?>
I have a website with live chat functionality. Yesterday I have been asked to pass email address and the name of the logged into the user into the Javascript Tracking variable code placed in the head section of the website. So that the operators could see who is on the website and whom are they talking to without any need to ask about their information.
So I passed the information from Magento into the Javascript code but now I see this very strange thing happening. For example,
If I am logged in with credentials Name = John Email =
john12#yahoo.com
Then This name and email variable values are changing with the change of pages. For example if I click on any product page the variable values which I am passing changes to some other user's information.
Name becomes Ricky Email becomes ricky23#gmail.com
this variable values are kept on changing back to john and from john to something else with the change of pages. So operator does not have any idea whom are they talking because the values are kept on changing. Also, user ricky or who ever it changes to also exist in the database. so it is picking up random person from the database.
This is what i did to pass the code to javascript. Please let me know if that is not the right code to pass the information. Please check the php code I am using to fetch information from Magento. Roughly, I receive incorrect value once in 5 times. Please provide some assistance. Thanks in advance.
<?php
$customer = Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->getCustomer();
$email = $customer->getEmail();
$firstname = $customer->getFirstname();
$lastname= $customer->getLastname();
$name = $firstname . ' ' . $lastname;
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
if (typeof(lpMTagConfig) == "undefined"){ lpMTagConfig = {};}
if (typeof(lpMTagConfig.visitorVar) == "undefined"){ lpMTagConfig.visitorVar = [];}
lpMTagConfig.visitorVar[lpMTagConfig.visitorVar.length] = 'Email=<?php echo $email; ?>';
lpMTagConfig.visitorVar[lpMTagConfig.visitorVar.length] = 'Name=<?php echo $name; ?>';
</script>
I'm also attaching a snap shot
I'd be interested to hear how you're adding this code to the page? Is it in it's own block, or are you adding it to footer.phtml, or similar? If your adding to an existing block be sure to check the block caching settings of that template.
To confirm the caching hypothesis I'd ask the following:
Do you get the same name, all the time, on the same page? When you refresh the page, do you get the same name and email in the Javascript?
Does the problem persist with caching disabled?
This doesn't sound like a singleton problem at all. Each execution of the PHP script is isolated from the others, serving one page request. There's no chance of another customer's object moving between invokations of the script.
It is a matter of understanding the singleton pattern. If you call your code twice:
$customer_1 = Mage::helper('customer')->getCustomer()->getName();
$customer_2 = Mage::helper('customer')->getCustomer()->getName();
you get two different instances of the object. But... if one of them has already implemented a singleton pattern in its constructor or has implemented a singleton getInstance then both objects will actually point to the same thing.
Looking at the customer/helper/Data.php code you can see the function
public function getCustomer()
{
if (empty($this->_customer)) {
$this->_customer = Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->getCustomer();
}
return $this->_customer;
}
That means that in one of the cases singleton is already implemented/called and in other one - not as the property is already set.
The correct way to work with quote/customer/cart in order to get always the correct data is always to use the singleton pattern.
So using this:
$customer = Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->getCustomer();
always guarantee that you get the correct customer in that session. And as may be you know singleton pattern is based on registry pattern in app/Mage.php:
public static function getSingleton($modelClass='', array $arguments=array())
{
$registryKey = '_singleton/'.$modelClass;
if (!self::registry($registryKey)) {
self::register($registryKey, self::getModel($modelClass, $arguments));
}
return self::registry($registryKey);
}
and looking at app/Mage.php:
public static function register($key, $value, $graceful = false)
{
if (isset(self::$_registry[$key])) {
if ($graceful) {
return;
}
self::throwException('Mage registry key "'.$key.'" already exists');
}
self::$_registry[$key] = $value;
}
...
public static function registry($key)
{
if (isset(self::$_registry[$key])) {
return self::$_registry[$key];
}
return null;
}
you can see that Magento checks is it is already set. If so, Magento will either throw an Exception, which is the default behavior or return null.
Hope this will help you to understand the issue you face.
I have sorted this out. I have moved the code from footer.phtml to head.phtml and it's working fine now.Values are not changing anymore. If anyone know the logic behind please post and I will change my answer. So far this is working.
I have overwritten the Mage_Tax_model_Calculation::getRate, so that I want to not tax certain customers. I do not have a special customer class for them.
I have a custom field in my customer model, which I want to check after I am able to load my customer model and if this field has a value I do not tax him, otherwise I call parent::getRate($request)
Is it possible to get that in the function.
Try something like this:
function getRate($request) {
// find a customer ID
$admin_session = Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/session_quote');
if($admin_session) {
if($admin_session->getCustomerId()) {
$customer_id = $admin_session->getCustomerId();
}
} else {
$customer_id = Mage::getSingleton("customer/session")->getCustomerId();
}
// find customer attr
if($customer_id) {
$customer = Mage::getModel("customer/customer")->load($customer_id);
if($customer->getSomeColumnValue()) {
return 0;
}
}
// fallthrough
return parent::getRate($request);
}
Hope that helps!
Thanks,
Joe
EDIT: good point ;)
Looking through the adminhtml code, it seems to be far less useful than the normal customer code. I was hoping for a call to Mage::register but that's not happening. I found a possible solution, though loading sessions in Magento seems to have side effects. See above.
RE-EDIT: to incorporate your fixes for posterity.
Try this to load the current logged-in customer:
$session = Mage::getSingleton('customer/session');
$customer = Mage::getModel('customer/customer')->load($session->getCustomerId());
$customValue = $customer->getCustomFieldName();

i try to get the paypal payment run in my magento 1.4 but there is a serious problem with the workflow. after i select paypal and get routed to the paypal account to send the money you normally come back automatically into the magento shop to finish the order, but in my case magento tells you there is aproblem with the adress field. paypal does'nt send the adress back to magento correctly:
Error: Please check shipping address information. Please enter last name.
is this a known bug or is there a patch or workaround?
please help!
thnx.
The error seems to be in /app/code/core/Mage/Paypal/Model/Api/Nvp.php. Looks like the vars aren't mapped well. Because I couldn't find the concrete error in this file, I did a bit dirty workaround in /app/code/core/Mage/Paypal/Model/Express/Checkout.php.
In 1.4.2 just replace the method returnFromPaypal() with the following code...
public function returnFromPaypal($token)
{
$this->_getApi();
$this->_api->setToken($token)
->callGetExpressCheckoutDetails();
// import billing address
$billingAddress = $this->_quote->getBillingAddress();
$exportedBillingAddress = $this->_api->getExportedBillingAddress();
// import shipping address
$exportedShippingAddress = $this->_api->getExportedShippingAddress();
if (!$this->_quote->getIsVirtual()) {
$shippingAddress = $this->_quote->getShippingAddress();
if ($shippingAddress) {
if ($exportedShippingAddress) {
foreach ($exportedShippingAddress->getExportedKeys() as $key) {
if('firstname' == $key || 'lastname' == $key){
continue;
} // if
$shippingAddress->setDataUsingMethod($key, $exportedShippingAddress->getData($key));
$billingAddress->setDataUsingMethod($key, $exportedShippingAddress->getData($key));
}
// Correct First- and Lastnames
list($_firstname, $_lastname) = explode(' ', $exportedShippingAddress->getData('firstname'));
$shippingAddress->setDataUsingMethod('firstname', $_firstname);
$billingAddress->setDataUsingMethod('firstname', $_firstname);
$shippingAddress->setDataUsingMethod('lastname', $_lastname);
$billingAddress->setDataUsingMethod('lastname', $_lastname);
$shippingAddress->setCollectShippingRates(true);
}
// import shipping method
$code = '';
if ($this->_api->getShippingRateCode()) {
if ($code = $this->_matchShippingMethodCode($shippingAddress, $this->_api->getShippingRateCode())) {
// possible bug of double collecting rates :-/
$shippingAddress->setShippingMethod($code)->setCollectShippingRates(true);
}
}
$this->_quote->getPayment()->setAdditionalInformation(self::PAYMENT_INFO_TRANSPORT_SHIPPING_METHOD, $code);
}
}
$this->_ignoreAddressValidation();
// import payment info
$payment = $this->_quote->getPayment();
$payment->setMethod($this->_methodType);
Mage::getSingleton('paypal/info')->importToPayment($this->_api, $payment);
$payment->setAdditionalInformation(self::PAYMENT_INFO_TRANSPORT_PAYER_ID, $this->_api->getPayerId())
->setAdditionalInformation(self::PAYMENT_INFO_TRANSPORT_TOKEN, $token)
;
$this->_quote->collectTotals()->save();
}
The modified code replaces the whole billing address with the shipping address and pushes the name given in $firstname into $firstname and $lastname.
not clean, but working. :-)
any luck finding a solution to this, I'm having the same issue.
--- update ---
I finally figured out what was happening on this one for me. I had the Custom Shipping Admin module installed and it was overriding the address controller that validates the order. I updated the overrided module to reflect the version of Magento I was on and it worked.. no problems. Hope this helps someone.
