Customizing Onepage Checkout - Remove shipping_method

2010-12-30T17:56:00.001+05:30

Give our namespace name - “Digg“. So you have a folder in app/local/Digg for modules and module “Checkout”.

You must add next files to you module:

1.Block Digg/Checkout/Block/Onepage/Shipping/Method.php
2.Controller Digg/Checkout/controllers/OnepageController.php
3.Model Digg/Checkout/Model/Type/Onepage.php
4.Configuration Digg/Checkout/etc/config.xml

1. Block (Method.php)

To disable Shipping Method for checkout list, you must hide it. Our custom shipping method inherited from core Mage_Checkout_Block_Onepage_Shipping_Method class. Overload method isShow and return false:
class Digg_Checkout_Block_Onepage_Shipping_Method extends

2. Controller (OnepageController.php)

Important:Controllers have no autoloading so you must include it manualy. Overwrite the function saveShippingAction() and saveBillingAction() to skip shipping method to payment with the following code:

_expireAjax()) {
return;
}
if ($this->getRequest()->isPost()) {
$data = $this->getRequest()->getPost('shipping', array());
$customerAddressId = $this->getRequest()->getPost('shipping_address_id', false);
$result = $this->getOnepage()->saveShipping($data, $customerAddressId);
if (!isset($result['error'])) {
$result['goto_section'] = 'payment';
$result['update_section'] = array(
'name' => 'payment-method',
'html' => $this->_getPaymentMethodsHtml()
);
}
$this->getResponse()->setBody(Mage::helper('core')->jsonEncode($result));
}
}
public function saveBillingAction()
{
if ($this->_expireAjax()) {
return;
}
if ($this->getRequest()->isPost()) {
$data = $this->getRequest()->getPost('billing', array());
$customerAddressId = $this->getRequest()->getPost('billing_address_id', false);
$result = $this->getOnepage()->saveBilling($data, $customerAddressId);
if (!isset($result['error'])) {
/* check quote for virtual */
if ($this->getOnepage()->getQuote()->isVirtual()) {
$result['goto_section'] = 'payment';
$result['update_section'] = array(
'name' => 'payment-method',
'html' => $this->_getPaymentMethodsHtml()
);
}
elseif (isset($data['use_for_shipping']) && $data['use_for_shipping'] == 1) {

$result['goto_section'] = 'payment';
$result['update_section'] = array(
'name' => 'payment-method',
'html' => $this->_getPaymentMethodsHtml()
);
}
else {
$result['goto_section'] = 'shipping';
}
}
$this->getResponse()->setBody(Mage::helper('core')->jsonEncode($result));
}
}
}

?>

3. Model (Onepage.php)

The simplest way to ask magento to ignore shipping info is to change validation rule. Te following code overwriting validateOrder() method. I just removed part of original code that validate non-virtual products

getQuote()->getIsMultiShipping()) {
Mage::throwException($helper->__('Invalid checkout type.'));
}

$addressValidation = $this->getQuote()->getBillingAddress()->validate();
if ($addressValidation !== true) {
Mage::throwException($helper->__('Please check billing address information.'));
}

if (!($this->getQuote()->getPayment()->getMethod())) {
Mage::throwException($helper->__('Please select valid payment method.'));
}
}
}

?>

4. Configuration (config.xml)

Last step is configurate our module. The main idea is to ask Magento first searching action methods in our Digg module and if it didn’t found use core.

0.0.2

Digg_Checkout_Model_Type_Onepage

Digg_Checkout_Block_Onepage_Shipping_Method

Digg_Checkout

Don’t forget to register your module in app/etc/modules/Digg_All.xml:

true
local

Customizing Onepage Checkout - Remove login - Magento

2010-12-30T13:02:00.001+05:30

Q. How to remove login block from OnepageCheckout? Every customer checkout as guest.

1.) /app/design/frontend/default/detault/layout/checkout.xml
Comment out or remove the reference to “checkout.onepage.login” addLink under the checkout_onepage_index section.

2.) /app/design/frontend/default/default/template/checkout/onepage.phtml

Edit the code at the bottom (see line 2 line 19):

<input type="hidden" name="checkout_method" id="login:guest" checked="checked" value="guest">
 type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
    var accordion = new Accordion('checkoutSteps', '.head', true);
    <;?php if($this->getActiveStep()): ?>
    accordion.openSection('opc-billing');
    <?php endif ?>
    var checkout = new Checkout(accordion,{
        progress: '<?php echo $this->getUrl('checkout/onepage/progress') ?>,
        review: '<?php echo $this->getUrl('checkout/onepage/review') ?>;',
        saveMethod: '<?php echo $this->getUrl('checkout/onepage/saveMethod') ?>',
        failure: '<?php echo $this->getUrl('checkout/cart') ?>'}
    );
    // Go to the next method on start (it will look for the input we added above)
    //IE fix
    var cb = $("login:guest");
    cb.checked = true;
    checkout.setMethod();  // MAKE SURE TO ADD THIS LINE!!!
//]]>

The checkout.setMethod() will move to the next checkout method (billing) if it sees that the input for a guest is checked (hence why we add the hidden input)Code Text

How to use Reliance Broadband+ Netconnect with Ubuntu Linux

2010-06-08T11:34:00.001+05:30

Open the Terminal (Application->Accessories->Terminal)

Type SU (Super User, gives administrative privilege will need it little later). Key in the password .

then,

lsusb

Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

This thing pops Out

Note down the no just before Huawei or quallcom depending on which card you use . To my experience all cards of the same vendor will have the same id. like for Huawei itll be 12d1:1412.

next,

modprobe usbserial vendor=0xAAAA product=0xBBBB ,

Where AAAA is 12d1 and BBBB is 1412 in my case.

Then you have to edit wvdial.conf file, type,

gedit /etc/wvdial.conf

This will open wvdial.conf.

(NOTE: wvdial might not be installed , to install it .
Insert original UBUNTU CD

Go to System->Administration->software sources. add cd as a source and close . itll update itself, Then on terminal type,
sudo apt-get install wvdial .

And key in Ur password , that shall do.

NOW coming back to wvdial .conf. Copy and paste this overriding the previous setting in .

[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Stupid Mode = 1
Modem Type = USB Modem
ISDN = 0
Phone = #777
New PPPD = yes
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Username = 9310590985 (This is the no written in the back side and changes in every card).
Password = 9310590985 (This is the no written in the back side and changes in every card and is same as user name).
CBaud = 460800

Save it and exist .

Next,

Just enter terminal and sudo Wvdial
And your password to getconnected.

Magento Frequently Asked Questions

2010-04-08T11:10:00.005+05:30

How do I ﬁnd out the proper table name?

The core resource model has a method to get you any table name for any model in
the system. Table names do not have to follow the name of the model, an end-user
can change the table names by changing an XML setting. Also, any installation can
have an arbitrary preﬁx for any table. Therefore, it is best to use the getTable method
of the core resource.
$r = Mage::getResourceSingleton(’core/resource’)->getConnection(’core_read’)
$tableName = $r->getTable(’catalog/product’);
$tableName === ’catalog_product_entity’;
This happens because we have the following XML conﬁguration in the catalog mod-
ule’s conﬁg ﬁle.

Mage_Catalog_Model
catalog_resource_eav_mysql4

Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Mysql4

catalog_product_entity

...

How do I show Magento products on a non-Magento page?

This is an often requested feature. There are a number of ways to do it too. You
could create a listener to publish a category of products to static HTML whenever a
category changes. You could run a cron script or other scheduled task to run some
Magento code to export a category of products to a static ﬁle as well. The quickest
way to get the job done is to simply include the necessary Magento ﬁles in your other
PHP script and call the display logic.
Start with the basic shell magento script.
require_once ’/path/to/app/Mage.php;
umask(0);
//not Mage::run();
Mage::app(’default’);
Assuming we want to display an entire category of products, we need to load up the
category display block and render it. This will load the products and push the data
through the associated template ﬁle.
//code snipped
$className = Mage::getConfig()
->getBlockClassName(’catalog/product_list’);
$block = new $className();
$className = Mage::getConfig()
->getBlockClassName(’core/template’);
$toolbar = new $className();
$block->setChild(’toolbar’, $toolbar);
//choose whatever category ID you want

$block->setCategoryId(3);
$block->setTemplate(’catalog/product/list.phtml’);
echo $block->renderView();
You might think that we would be using the category view block for this task, but
we’re not. The product list block is the component which does the actual printing of
the products. The category view block does too much work preparing the rest of the
page and is too integrated into Magento to cleanly use outside of Magento’s code.
The reason that we make a core/template type block and call it “toolbar” is be-
cause the template ﬁle for the product list wants to show the output from a block
called toolbar. If we set the real toolbar (type catalog/product_list_toolbar) then
we start unraveling a whole lot of Magento dependencies, as the toolbar requires a
product collection. This is the simplest, quickest way to render a category of prod-
ucts “outside” Magento.

How do I use installation and upgrade ﬁles in my custom mod-
ules?
Magento automatically installs or upgrades any module that it en-
counters during runtime. The installation ﬁles are located under
_setup/mysql4-install-X.Y.Z.php. The trigger for
YourModule/sql/yourmodule
running this ﬁle is that your module’s version number is not present in the DB
table core_resource and that you have deﬁned a version number in your module’s
etc/config.xml ﬁle. You will also need to deﬁne a global resource for your module’s
setup, use a tag name of . Without the resource deﬁnition that
includes both setup module and a connection, the installation or upgrade will not
perform, even if you increase the version number.
etc/config.xml contents...

0.9.12

Company_YourModule

core_setup

Given that XML ﬁle, and an absence of any record containing company_yourmodule in
table core_resource, your module’s install ﬁle will be run the next time that module
is executed.
Once installed, upgrades can be triggered when you change the version number
in the XML conﬁguration ﬁle to be greater than the value in core_resource. This will
trigger a succession of any mysql4-upgrade-X.Y.Z.php ﬁle that has a version number
greater than the number found in the core_resource table.
The syntax of these installation ﬁles looks like this:
$installer = $this;
/* @var $installer Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Mysql4_Setup */
$installer->startSetup();
$installer->run("
ALL YOUR SQL IN ONE STRING (the system breaks apart the SQL by semi-colon);
USE ’{$installer->getTable(’my_own_table’)}’ TO KEEP TABLE PREFIXES
CONSISTENT;
");
$installer->endSetup();
/*
$installer->installEntities(); //only needed if you are installing
new entities and they are defined properly
*/
//any other setup code such as inserting default data, caching data, etc.

How to change in the toolbar of product list page in magento

2010-01-14T16:53:00.003+05:30

remove from bottom of app/design/frontend/default/default/template/catalog/product/list.phtml fallowing line:

 echo $this->getToolbarHtml() ?>

then replace by

 echo $this->getToolbarBlock()->setTemplate('catalog/product/list/toolbar.phtml')->toHtml(); ?>

Feel free to change ‘catalog/product/list/toolbar.phtml’ to you toolbar html. You can create catalog/product/list/toolbar_bottom.phtml then code will looks like:

 echo $this->getToolbarBlock()->setTemplate('catalog/product/list/toolbar_bottom.phtml')->toHtml(); ?>

The EAV Model of Data Representation

2009-12-24T11:21:00.001+05:30

Definition

EAV = Entity-Attribute-Value. EAV/CR = EAV with Classes and Relationships

Conceptually, a table with three columns:

Entity/Object ID
Attribute/Parameter
the Value for the attribute.

The table has one row for each Entity-Attribute-Value triple.

In reality, we prefer to segregate values based on data type, so as to support indexing and let the database perform type validation checks where possible. So there are separate EAV tables for strings, real and integer numbers, dates, long text and Binary large objects (BLOBS).

Benefits

Flexibility. There are no arbitrary limits on the number of attributes per entity. The number of parameters can grow as the database evolves, without schema redesign. (Important in the EPRS)
Space-efficient storage for highly sparse data: One need not reserve space for attributes whose values are null.
A simple physical data format with partially self-describing data. Maps naturally to interchange formats like XML (the attribute name is replaced with start-attribute and end-attribute tags.)
For databases holding data describing rapidly evolving scientific domains, insulation against consequences of change and potential domain independence .

Physical vs. Logical Schema

EAV is primarily a means of simplifying the physical schema of a database.
Users of the system (as well as analytical programs) expect the data to be conventionally structured. The logical schema of a database (which is domain-specific) reflects the users' perception of the data.
In an EAV database, the logical schema differs greatly from the physical schema. In a conventional database, the two do not differ appreciably.
The user interface of a good EAV system conforms to the logical schema as much as possible, creating the illusion of conventional data organization.
An EAV system must record the logical schema through metadata.
If sufficiently rich, metadata can also be used actively (i.e., during actual system operation), instead of only describing the system passively.

EAV/CR Overview

EAV/CR overlays an object-oriented framework on top of an EAV physical structure.

A "class" and "object" in EAV/CR are similar their OOP counterparts.
EAV/CR allows modeling of inter-class relationships.
EAV/CR allows classes to contain other classes as members. For this purpose, EAV/CR supports class instances (Object IDs) as values.
EAV/CR permits inheritance of properties (attributes) between classes.
Allows representation of non-first-normal-form (NF2) data.

Relationship Details as Inverted-File Indexes

Knowledge of the object involved in a relationship does not describe the relationship itself, because the objects can interact in various ways.
Therefore the description of a fact in a relationship is sometimes best served by narrative text.
The objects allow the fact to be indexed. (This way, facts related to a particular object can be rapidly retrieved.) The set of objects that index particular facts serve the same role as the Inverted Files used in Text Information Retrieval, with the difference that the objects are strongly typed because they belong to specific classes.

Drawbacks of EAV/CR

Considerable up-front programming (wheel reinvention) is needed to do the tasks that a conventional architecture would do automatically. However, such programming needs to be done only once, and availability of generic EAV tools could remove this limitation.
EAV design is less efficient than a conventional structure for retrieving data in bulk on numerous objects at a time. (For object-at-a-time retrieval, such as through a Web-based browsing interface, the volume of data is small enough that the difference is not noticeable.)
Performing complex attribute-centric queries is both significantly less efficient as well as technically more difficult. This needs a query generator. However, most queries on scientific databases are relatively straightforward, and directed toward specific objects of interest.
For schemas that are relatively static and/or simple (e.g., databases for business applications, such as inventory or accounting), the overhead of EAV design exceeds its advantages. So don't blindly represent all data in EAV form: use conventional tables where the objects are numerous and non-sparse.
