Review From In Tabbed Magento

First, download the zip of my “review” folder, located in app/design/frontend/base/default/template.
Second, open: catalog.xml, in your “layout” directory. Find this section:

<reference name=”content”>
<block type=”catalog/product_view” name=”product.info” template=”catalog/product/view.phtml”>
Add the following:

<block type=”review/form” name=”product.review.form” as=”review_form”/>
<block type=”review/product_view_list” name=”product.info.product_additional_data” as=”product_additional_data_review” template=”review/product/view/reviews-in-tab.phtml”>
<block type=”review/form” name=”product.review.form” as=”review_form”/>
</block>
Finally, open you template file where you would like to display the reviews and form. You will need to create a new tab, then use this:

<?php echo $this->getChildHtml(‘product_additional_data_review’) ?>
<?php echo $this->getChildHtml(‘review_form’) ?>

jquery conflict in magento

Working with JavaScript

• Design > Themes Editor > Java Script Editor > Theme Java Script

If you’re comfortable working with and editing JavaScript, you can further customize the look and feel of your web store. Magento Go allows you to add your own custom Javascript files to add elements that enhance your pages.

NOTE: This section will not teach you how to use JavaScript, please see one of the many excellent online tutorials or books on learning and using JavaScript if you are not familiar with it.

Uploading JavaScript Files

1. In the Admin Panel, go to the Design menu and select the Themes Editor.
2. Select the theme you want to customize for the list of Available Themes by clicking the [Customize] button.
3. Select the JavaScript Editor tab from the tabs at the left.
4. In the Theme JavaScript panel, click Browse to select the JavaScript file from your local machine. Repeat this step for every JavaScript file you want to upload.
5. Click Upload Files to upload them to your store.

NOTE: For many JavaScript libraries, scripts and libraries must load in the correct order in order to function properly. Manage the loading order of the scripts by simply dragging and dropping the files around in the list of uploaded JavaScript files. Uploading them in sequence will ensure that they are in correct order automatically.

jQuery Solution

To take advantage of the jQuery library or any of the custom plugins available, follow the steps below. This so

Disclaimer: This method may not always work. When you’re working with different versions of JavaScript you always run the risk of having different scripts conflicting with each other. We believe the noConflict() solution is the best alternative currently available.

To learn more about the noConflict() solution, visit the jQuery API page.

To add custom jQuery code using the Built-In Library (v.1.3.1):

1. Create a new CMS static block.
2. Type in a Block Title and Identifier.
3. In the Content textarea, paste this wrapper:
   <script type="text/javascript"> (function($) { // ---------------------- // your code here // ---------------------- })(jQuery); </script>
4. Replace the comments with your custom jQuery code.

To add custom jQuery code using any version of jQuery:

In our example, we’re going to use a hosted jQuery library version 1.5.2 from Google APIs.

1. From the Admin Panel, select Configuration > Design > HTML Head > Miscellaneous Scripts
2. Paste this: <script src=’https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.2/jquery.min.js’ type="text/javascript"></script> and click Save.
3. Next, paste this into Miscellaneous Scripts just after the hosted jQuery library you included:
   <script type="text/javascript"> var j152 = jQuery.noConflict(true); </script>
4. Next, create a new CMS static block.
5. Type in a Block Title and Identifier.
6. In the Content textarea, paste this wrapper:
   <script type="text/javascript"> (function($) { // ---------------------- // your code here // ---------------------- })(j152); </script>
7. Replace the commented lines with your custom jQuery code.

To add custom jQuery code using an uploded version of jQuery:

1. Open the jQuery library file in a text editor.
2. Paste the following at the end of the file:
   var j152 = jQuery.noConflict(true);
   Note: In our example, we named this variable j152 because we are using jQuery 1.5.2. Name your variable based on the version of jQuery you use.
3. From the Admin Panel, go to Design > Theme Editor and click to customize your current theme.
4. In the JavaScript editor, upload this modified jQuery you wish to use.
5. Create a new CMS static block.
6. In the Content textarea, paste this wrapper:
   <script type="text/javascript"> (function($) { // ---------------------- // your code here // ---------------------- })(j152); </script>
   
   Note: Make sure that (j152) corresponds to the variable name you created in step 2.
7. Replace the comments with your custom jQuery code.

How to add a extra field “Contact Us” form in magento

Step One: Modify the (interface)/(theme)/template/contacts/form.phtml file.
Say we would like to add a field called ‘Test’ in between e-mail and telephone on the default field.

1. <div class="input-box">
2.                     <label for="email"><?php echo $this->__('Email') ?> <span class="required">*</span></label><br />
3.                     <input name="email" id="email" title="<?php echo $this->__('Email') ?>" value="<?php echo $this->htmlEscape($this->helper('contacts')->getUserEmail()) ?>" class="required-entry input-text validate-email" type="text"/>
4.                 </div>
6.                 <div class="clear"></div>
8.                 <div class="input-box">
9.                     <label for="telephone"><?php echo $this->__('Telephone') ?></label><br />
10.                     <input name="telephone" id="telephone" title="<?php echo $this->__('Telephone') ?>" value="" class="input-text" type="text"/>
11.                 </div>
    Here is the new field: 

1. <div class="input-box">
2.                     <label for="email"><?php echo $this->__('Email') ?> <span class="required">*</span></label><br />
3.                     <input name="email" id="email" title="<?php echo $this->__('Email') ?>" value="<?php echo $this->htmlEscape($this->helper('contacts')->getUserEmail()) ?>" class="required-entry input-text validate-email" type="text"/>
4.                 </div>
6.                 <div class="clear"></div>
8.                 <div class="input-box">
9.                     <label for="test"><?php echo $this->__('Test') ?></label><br />
10.                     <input name="test" id="test" title="<?php echo $this->__('Test') ?>" value="" class="input-text" type="text"/>
11.                 </div>
13.                 <div class="input-box">
14.                     <label for="telephone"><?php echo $this->__('Telephone') ?></label><br />
15.                     <input name="telephone" id="telephone" title="<?php echo $this->__('Telephone') ?>" value="" class="input-text" type="text"/>
16.                 </div>
    Step Two: Create the new Transactional E-Mail form.
    1) Go to System→Transactional E-mails in the Magento Admin section. 2) Click ‘Add New Template’ 3) From the ‘Template’ dropdown box select ‘Contact Form’ 4) Click ‘Load Template’ 5) Under template content you will see:
    
    

    1. Name: {{var data.name}}
    2. E-mail: {{var data.email}}
    3. Telephone: {{var data.telephone}}
    4. Comment: {{var data.comment}}
       Add your new field in between E-mail and Telephone: 
       

    
    
    

    1. Name: {{var data.name}}
    2. E-mail: {{var data.email}}
    3. Test: {{var data.test}}
    4. Telephone: {{var data.telephone}}
    5. Comment: {{var data.comment}}

Removing dropdowns from Product List Pager in magnto

Magento styles the “Sort By” and “Show x per page” with a drop down, however for one of our sites we needed to put these into a link list. The change was easier to enact than I thought (or at least by Magento’s standards). So if you want to do it yourself:

1. Open up template/catalog/product/list/toolbar.phtml, and look for the “Sort By” div. Completely replace the select and dropdown options with:

<?php foreach($this->getAvailableOrders() as $_key=>$_order): ?>
<a href=”<?php echo $this->getOrderUrl($_key, ‘asc’) ?>” ><?php echo $this->__($_order) ?></a>
<?php endforeach; ?>

2. In the same file, look for the “Limiter” div and replace with:

<div class=”limiter”>
<label><?php echo $this->__(‘Show’) ?></label>
<?php foreach ($this->getAvailableLimit() as $_key=>$_limit): ?>
<a href=”<?php echo $this->getLimitUrl($_key) ?>”><?php echo $_limit ?></a>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php echo $this->__(‘per page’) ?>
</div>

The result:

Remove Category option from Layered Navigation options list in magnto

 

This is what I did to remove the “Category” section from my layered navigation so I wouldnt have any repeat information with the attributes I wanted in the layered navigation.
go to app/design/frontend/default/default/template/catalog/layer and open up view.phtml for edit.
 

<dl id="narrow-by-list"><?php $_filters = $this->getFilters() ?>
<?php foreach ($_filters as $_filter): ?>
 <?php if($_filter->getItemsCount()): ?>
<?php if($_filter->getName() != "Category"){ ?><dt><?php echo $this->__($_filter->getName()) ?></dt>
<dd><?php echo $_filter->getHtml() ?></dd><?php } endif; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?></dl>

Show Category With Image in Magento

For adding of  categories with its  images on homepage od magento  we have to add    block from admininstration cms management either by just putiing the code given below  or making the static block .

{{block type="catalog/navigation" name="catalog.category" 

template="catalog/category/list_category.phtml"}}

 And also you need to create a list.phtml file under “/app/design/frontend/default/default/template/catalog/category/list_category.phtml”

<?php foreach ($this->getStoreCategories() as $_category): ?>
 <?php $open = $this->isCategoryActive($_category); ?>
 <?php
$cur_category=Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($_category->getId());
$layer = Mage::getSingleton('catalog/layer');
$layer->setCurrentCategory($cur_category);
if ($immagine = $this->getCurrentCategory()->getImageUrl()):
 ?>
<div style="float:left; padding-right:30px; text-align:center;">
 <div class="linkimage">
 <p>
 <a href="<?php echo $this->getCategoryUrl($_category)?>">
 <img src="<?php echo $immagine ?>"
  alt="<?php echo $this->htmlEscape($this->getCurrentCategory()->getName()) ?>" width="135" height="135" />
 <?php echo $_category->getName()?>
    </a>
    </p>
    </div>
    </div> <?php endif; ?>

Mage::throwException($helper->__('Please specify a shipping method.'));
}
}


---------------------------With------------------------
protected function _validate()
{
$helper = Mage::helper('sales');
if (!$this->getQuote()->isVirtual()) {
$address = $this->getQuote()->getShippingAddress();
$addressValidation = $address->validate();
}

How To Show Size Chart in Magento Detail Page

Create Magento Size Charts Using Static Blocks and Javascript

In my Old post I showed you how to create a size chart using a
link that pop-ups an external php page.
In this tutorial, I will show you how to use static blocks and JavaScript to create size charts . Demo Here
Suppose you want to create a size chart for the product type Jackets.
Here are steps you have to follow:

• STEP 1: Create a new static block called "Jackets Size Chart" identified by "jackets-size-chart"
• STEP 2: Create a new attribut called size_chart_template

STEP 1

STEP 2

Go to Admin->Attributes->Manage Attributes
Add new attribute with the following properties:

• Attribute Code : size_chart_template
• Scope: Global
• Catalog Input type  for Store Owner : Dropdown
• Unique Value : No
• Required value : No
• Input Validation for store owner: No
• Apply to * : All Product Types
• Use to create Configurable Product   : No

For Frontend Properties: No everywhere and Position to 0
In Manage Label/Options:
Admin : Size Chart Template
add your options for example:
jackets-size-chart (remember this is the identifier of your static block)
...
Save your attribute.
Now go to Catalog->Attributes->Manage Attribute Sets
Select your set and add the attribute you have just created. (drag and drop)
Now we are going to assign to the product  Icon Retro Motorcycle Jacket, the size chart identified by "jackets-size-chart".
Go to Icon Retro Motorcycle Jacket Item and select "jackets-size-chart" from your dropdown list (You should add this attribut before use it).
Open app/design/frontend/default/yourtemplate/template/catalog/product/view.phtml and paste the following code. (where you like to see your size chart info)

1	<!-- BOF SIZE CHART --><!-- BOF SIZE CHART -->

2

<?php

3	$sizeChartIcon= Mage::getBaseUrl(Mage_Core_Model_Store::URL_TYPE_MEDIA)."size-charts/size-chart.gif"; ?>

4	<a onclick="$('size-chart').show();"><?php echo '<img src="%27.$sizeChartIcon.%27" alt="size chart">' ; ?>  </a>

5	<div id="size-chart" style="display:none;"> <?php echo  Mage::app() ->getLayout() ->createBlock('cms/block') ->setBlockId($_product->getAttributeText('size_chart_template')) ->toHtml(); ?></div>

6	<!-- EOF SIZE CHART --><!-- EOF SIZE CHART -->

Display special priced products on your Magento homepage

Step one
Open your homepage CMS page and click on the design tab. Paste the following:

<reference name="content">
<remove name="product_list"/>
<remove name="category.products"/>
<block before="-" type="catalog/product" name="home.new" alias="product" template="catalog/product/specials.phtml"> <action method="setProductsCount"><count>9</count></action>
</block>
</reference>

 

Step two:

 

First of all this is the code were that we're going to be using to do this.

 

<?php
Mage::getSingleton('core/session', array('name' => 'frontend'));
$_productCollection = Mage::getResourceModel('catalogsearch/advanced_collection')
->addAttributeToSelect(Mage::getSingleton('catalog/config')->getProductAttributes())
->addMinimalPrice()
->addStoreFilter();

Mage::getSingleton('catalog/product_status')->addVisibleFilterToCollection($_productCollection);
Mage::getSingleton('catalog/product_visibility')->addVisibleInSearchFilterToCollection($_productCollection);

$todayDate = date('m/d/y');
$tomorrow = mktime(0, 0, 0, date('m'), date('d'), date('y'));
$tomorrowDate = date('m/d/y', $tomorrow);

$_productCollection->addAttributeToFilter('special_from_date', array('date' => true, 'to' => $todayDate))
->addAttributeToFilter('special_to_date', array('or'=> array(
0 => array('date' => true, 'from' => $tomorrowDate),
1 => array('is' => new Zend_Db_Expr('null')))
), 'left');


echo '<div class="listing-type-grid catalog-listing">';
$_collectionSize = $_productCollection->count();
$i=0; foreach($_productCollection as $_product):
if($i++%3==0)
echo '<ol class="grid-row">';

echo '<li class="item">';
echo '<p class="product-image">';
echo '<a href="'.$_product->getProductUrl().'" title="'.$this->htmlEscape($this->getImageLabel($_product, 'small_image')).'">';
echo '<img src="'.$this->helper('catalog/image')->init($_product, 'small_image')->resize(135, 135).'" width="135" height="135" alt="'.$this->htmlEscape($this->getImageLabel($_product, 'small_image')).'" title="'.$this->htmlEscape($this->getImageLabel($_product, 'small_image')).'" />
</a>
</p>';
echo '<h5><a href="'.$this->getProductUrl().'" title="'.$this->htmlEscape($_product->getName()).'">'.$this->htmlEscape($_product->getName()).'</h5>';

echo $this->getPriceHtml($_product, true) ?>
</li>

<?php if($i%3==0 || $i==$_collectionSize): ?>
</ol>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endforeach ?>
</div> 

You can then paste this into a file and name it specials.phtml and save it into your frontend template folder catalog/product.
