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

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

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

How to translate form labels in Magento’s Admin Area

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).

How to translate product names in Magento through .csv files

How to translate product names in Magento through .csv files

Let’s add to cart one item from our Magento community edition. If you have MCE with sample data you can visit something like this: http://loc.magento.com/sony-vaio-vgn-txn27n-b-11-1-notebook-pc.html?___store=german&___from_store=default
Add item to your cart and you’ll see success message “Sony VAIO VGN-TXN27N/B 11.1″ Notebook PC was added to your shopping cart.”. Now if we add in our .csv file for de_DE translations something like this:

"%s was added to your shopping cart.","%s wurde zum Warenkorb hinzugefügt."
"Sony VAIO VGN-TXN27N/B 11.1" Notebook PC","Sony Deutsch VAIO VGN-TXN27N/B"

If you have already setup all required things for “German” translations, then try again buy same product and you will not be able to see our translated “success message”. It’s not only because of “"” in product name.
