NOTE: Tested on Symfony2 PR12. Might not work on later releases!
There is a newer version article about Symfony2 pagination that is compatible with Symfony2 – beta1.
Using Symfony 2, I noticed that there is no pagination included in framework (just some additional Bundle for download -and it uses Zend pagination but I don’t want to mix Zend into my Symfony 2 project), so I decided to write class for that on my own. Read more
Given the sheer size of Magento system, its quite easy to loose valuable time when trying to achieve even the basic things like “Creating simplest ORM model class”. Substantial amount of serious programming in Magento requires you to write some values to database. Read more
In this article I will demonstrate how to write custom shipping method in Magento commerce.
First we need to write our shipping method, it’s a class in folder app/code/core/Mage/Shipping/Model/Carrier/.
I called it Inchoocustom.php and it’s based on Flat rate shipping method but you can developed your own class.
If you did not understand from the post title what I am trying to say, here is another explanation. If you have an instance of UIWebView class implemented in your view and you want to call one of your custom method when user clicks on link in that Read more
In one of my previous articles I showed you how to use getModel and getData methods in Magento. Although we should not put those to methods at the same level, since I’d say the getModel is a bit more higher. Higher in sense, you first use the geModel to create the instance of object then you use getData to retrieve the data from that instance. I have said it before, and I’m saying it again; Magento is a great peace of full OOP power of PHP. It’s architecture is something not yet widely seen in CMS solutions.
One of the architectural goodies of Magento is it’s Singleton design pattern. In short, Singleton design pattern ensures a class has only one instance. Therefore one should provide a global point of access to that single instance of a class. Read more
I got one fairly simple request to develop a custom shipping calculation for Magento that will use some special calculation using UPS API. Right now, Magento only calculates weight and the client needs something more advanced. I worked on similar stuff before, so I guessed this will not be much different. First step was to find an API for UPS. Well, this post is all about the search for API. I’ll update it when I manage to find it.
One of the problems working under the hood of the Magento CMS is determining the context of $this. If you are about to do any advanced stuff with your template, besides layout changes, you need to get familiar with Magento’s objects (classes).
Let’s have a look at the /app/design/frontend/default/default/template/catalog/product/view.phtml file. If you open this file and execute var_dump($this) your browser will return empty page after a short period of delay. By page I mean on the product view page; the one you see when you click on Magetno product. Experienced users will open PHP error log and notice the error message caused by var_dump(). Read more
