Magento (How to fix): One or more of the Cache Types are invalidated: Blocks HTML output.

26th MAY 2011 | Posted by Tomas Novoselic in Debugging, Programming

Somewhere around Magento 1.5, message from the title of this post begun to pop on every product save.
Although quite anoying, it is quite easy to fix and it seems that’s not a BUG, it is a feature – implemented without automatic block html cache refresh :)
I have tested it on Professional Edition and to be completely honest, I’m not sure if it will actually work on Magento CE,
but there is no reason why not (Please comment if it does).

How to translate form labels in Magento’s Admin Area

25th MAY 2011 | Posted by Ivan Galambos in Administration, Database, Debugging, Magento

Since Magento has built in functionality for translations, you can ask yourself why Magento doesn’t want to translate my labels… and everything is set up correctly!
For all of you who work on Magento for a while and you didn’t yet needed to translate everything in Magento admin area here is a short “howto” on what you can do:
go to app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/Block/Widget/Form.php
and find protected function _setFieldset($attributes, $fieldset, $exclude=array())
Instead of this line

//'label'     => $attribute->getFrontend()->getLabel(),
//put this:
'label'     => Mage::helper('core')->__($attribute->getFrontend()->getLabel()),

Of course you will not change Magento’s core file in this way :) (more below).
