It’s pretty weird thing that Magento doesnt extract “?>” but does extract “<?php” and so for this purpose you just substitute “]]> Hope it helps someone to save some time :) SyntaxHighlighter.defaults['toolbar'] = false;SyntaxHighlighter.config.bloggerMode = true;SyntaxHighlighter.all();if (window.jstiming) window.jstiming.load.tick(‘widgetJsBefore’);if (typeof(BLOG_attachCsiOnload) != ‘undefined’ && BLOG_attachCsiOnload != null) { window['blogger_templates_experiment_id'] = “templatesV2″;window['blogger_blog_id'] = ’32637828′;BLOG_attachCsiOnload(‘item_’); }_WidgetManager._Init(‘http://www.blogger.com/rearrange?blogID=32637828′,’http://fahdshariff.blogspot.com/2011/03/upgrading-to-syntaxhighlighter-30.html’,’32637828′);_WidgetManager._SetPageActionUrl(‘http://www.blogger.com/display?blogID=32637828′,’APq4FmDdmaO1E0AiAntKEHoCeCo1IIbMkhFh8aoj7ANUfzSEK9xRLZIjujI7Ey_m-z4NBCPLh4eEBbhU0zJmXPhGaJLNBnDKBg==’,'AOuZoY5th5qGHtR4Wpx2476uNklp-eN74Q:1320253700709′);_WidgetManager._SetDataContext([{'name': 'blog', 'data': {'title': [...]

Just use the method below – you dont need any other tricks to play: $currentTimestampProper = Mage::getModel(‘core/date’)->timestamp(time()); P.S.: This simple method proved its reliability on my very own practice ;) SyntaxHighlighter.defaults['toolbar'] = false;SyntaxHighlighter.config.bloggerMode = true;SyntaxHighlighter.all();if (window.jstiming) window.jstiming.load.tick(‘widgetJsBefore’);if (typeof(BLOG_attachCsiOnload) != ‘undefined’ && BLOG_attachCsiOnload != null) { window['blogger_templates_experiment_id'] = “templatesV2″;window['blogger_blog_id'] = ’32637828′;BLOG_attachCsiOnload(‘item_’); }_WidgetManager._Init(‘http://www.blogger.com/rearrange?blogID=32637828′,’http://fahdshariff.blogspot.com/2011/03/upgrading-to-syntaxhighlighter-30.html’,’32637828′);_WidgetManager._SetPageActionUrl(‘http://www.blogger.com/display?blogID=32637828′,’APq4FmDdmaO1E0AiAntKEHoCeCo1IIbMkhFh8aoj7ANUfzSEK9xRLZIjujI7Ey_m-z4NBCPLh4eEBbhU0zJmXPhGaJLNBnDKBg==’,'AOuZoY5th5qGHtR4Wpx2476uNklp-eN74Q:1320253700709′);_WidgetManager._SetDataContext([{'name': 'blog', 'data': {'title': 'fahd.blog', [...]

I’ve been working recently on one enhancement which has involved role creation programming. So, today im sharing my knowledge of that process with you :) First of all id like to mention that all the code that you might need to use in the future is already somewhere in the core files, as a rule, [...]

Just like in the previous article – here ive decided to gather all 3 enquiries for determination of currently loaded module, controller and action names. 1) Current Module name: $request = Mage::app()->getRequest(); $request->getModuleName(); 2) Current Controller name: $request = Mage::app()->getRequest(); $request->getControllerName(); 3) Current Action name: $request = Mage::app()->getRequest();; $request->getActionName(); SyntaxHighlighter.defaults['toolbar'] = false;SyntaxHighlighter.config.bloggerMode = true;SyntaxHighlighter.all();if (window.jstiming) [...]

Ive decided to combine different methods for different pages of the buying process in one article here. 1) Shopping Cart page: $grandTotal = Mage::getModel(‘checkout/cart’)->getQuote()->getGrandTotal(); 2) Checkout page: $grandTotal = Mage::helper(‘checkout’)->getQuote()->getBaseGrandTotal(); 3) Sucess page: $order = Mage::getModel(‘sales/order’)->loadByIncrementId(Mage::getSingleton(‘checkout/session’)->getLastRealOrderId()); $grandTotal = $order->getGrandTotal(); SyntaxHighlighter.defaults['toolbar'] = false;SyntaxHighlighter.config.bloggerMode = true;SyntaxHighlighter.all();if (window.jstiming) window.jstiming.load.tick(‘widgetJsBefore’);if (typeof(BLOG_attachCsiOnload) != ‘undefined’ && BLOG_attachCsiOnload != null) { window['blogger_templates_experiment_id'] [...]

All you need to do is just set and do all the necessary routine in it just like in the sample codes below: Enable some option select modulename/path_to_your_model adminhtml/system_config_source_yesno 1 1 1 1 class Your_class extends Mage_Core_Model_Config_Data { protected function _beforeSave() { $postData = Mage::app()->getRequest()->getPost(); $value = $postData['groups']['general']['fields']['somefield']['value']; Mage::getModel(‘core/config’)->saveConfig(‘wishlist/general/active’, $value); return $this; } } As [...]

The most recent code i worked on – it gets current breadcrumb path and getting it prepared for further processing. I think everything is self-explanatory: $path = Mage::helper(‘catalog’)->getBreadcrumbPath(); foreach ($path as $name => $breadcrumb) { $breadcrumbs[$name][] = $breadcrumb['label']; $breadcrumbs[$name][] = $breadcrumb['link']; } SyntaxHighlighter.defaults['toolbar'] = false;SyntaxHighlighter.config.bloggerMode = true;SyntaxHighlighter.all();if (window.jstiming) window.jstiming.load.tick(‘widgetJsBefore’);if (typeof(BLOG_attachCsiOnload) != ‘undefined’ && BLOG_attachCsiOnload != [...]

I’ve discovered this “trick” when i was just beginning to work with Magento’s framework. I was think about a way to just show some info, which means no inputs but just raw text. Then ive come up with whis piece of code: Display in CMS pages label Ok, this is clear that label is for [...]

Ive decided to share some usefull code in this post – which can be pretty usefull for the backend development. Ive created it in my spare time when been learning soap interface in Magento. This is gonna be a set of 3 functions(methods). 1st one called “getAttributeSetsThatContain” and made to get attribute sets which contain [...]

If you want to get all images of the given product, then you should do this(code is good to be used anywhere – blocks, template, helpers, controllers): $gallery = Mage::getModel(‘catalog/product’)->load($product->getId())->getMediaGalleryImages(); $image_urls = array(); foreach ($gallery as $image ) { $imageUrls[] = Mage::helper(‘catalog/image’)->init($product, ‘image’, $image->getFile()); } SyntaxHighlighter.defaults['toolbar'] = false;SyntaxHighlighter.config.bloggerMode = true;SyntaxHighlighter.all();if (window.jstiming) window.jstiming.load.tick(‘widgetJsBefore’);if (typeof(BLOG_attachCsiOnload) != ‘undefined’ [...]
