I'm using ACF plugin on my site. I want to sort my link containing date. So, in frontend I have something like that
01.10.2017, News
02.02.2018, News
06.09.2017, News
and I want it to be like that
02.02.2018, News
01.10.2017, News
06.09.2017, News
My code looks like this
<?php
$repeater = get_field('media');
$order = array();
foreach($repeater as $i => $row) {
$order[$i] = $row['media_date'];
}
array_multisort($order, SORT_ASC, $repeater);
if($repeater): ?>
<ol>
<?php foreach($repeater as $i => $row): ?>
<li>
<?php echo $row['media_date']; ?>, <a href="<?php echo
$row['media_link']; ?>" target="_blank"><?php echo $row['media_title']; ?>
</a>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ol>
<?php else:
echo '<p>No matching post!</p>';
endif; ?>
And it sort data but incorrect. Incorrect I mean like this
01.10.2017, News
02.02.2018, News
06.09.2017, News
What I'm missing? How to order li items by date?

I am having problems pulling the pages through in PHP and HTML I have used :-
<li>
<!-- Pulling Categories from the database
dynamically -->
<?php
$nav_subjects = find_all_subjects(['visible' => $visible]);
while($nav_subject =
mysqli_fetch_assoc($nav_subjects)) {
?>
<span class="opener"><?php echo h($nav_subject['menu_name']); ?></span>
Which pulls the categories dynamically from the database and displays them with a drop down arrow just how I wanted but the pages will not show underneath them here's the code I have used for that bit:-
<!-- Categories listed correctly let's pull the pages for each one -->
<?php
if($nav_subject['id'] == $subject_id) {
$nav_pages = find_pages_by_subject_id($nav_subject['id'], ['visible' => $visible]);
while($nav_page = mysqli_fetch_assoc($nav_pages)) {
?>
<ul>
<li>
<?php echo h($nav_page['menu_name']); ?>
</li>
</ul>
<?php } // while $nav_pages
} // if($nav_subject['id'] == $subject_id)
} // while $nav_subjects ?>
</li>
<?php
mysqli_free_result($nav_subjects);
mysqli_free_result($nav_pages);
?>
I am pulling in the SQL from another page which is loaded correctly as the categories load and display correctly.
I will be grateful for any ideas.
I have also tried to echo back the sql result but nothing is shown.
I have now got it working with the following code:-
<li>
<?php $nav_subjects = find_all_subjects(['visible' => $visible]);
while($nav_subject = mysqli_fetch_assoc($nav_subjects)) {?>
<span class="opener"><?php echo h($nav_subject['menu_name']); ?></span>
<ul>
<?php if($nav_subject['id'] == $subject_id);
$nav_pages = find_pages_by_subject_id($nav_subject['id'], ['visible' => $visible]);
while($nav_page = mysqli_fetch_assoc($nav_pages)) { ?>
<li><?php echo h($nav_page['menu_name']); ?></li>
<?php } ?>
<?php } ?>
</ul>
But now it is listing the secondary subjects as a child of the first instead of individual subjects of their own.
*********Resolved**********
please advise if you think the code could be better i've currently used :-
<li>
<?php $nav_subjects = find_all_subjects(['visible' => $visible]);?>
<?php while($nav_subject = mysqli_fetch_assoc($nav_subjects)){?>
<span class="opener"><?php echo h($nav_subject['menu_name']);?></span>
<ul>
<?php if($nav_subject['id'] == $subject_id);
$nav_pages = find_pages_by_subject_id($nav_subject['id'], ['visible' => $visible]);
while($nav_page = mysqli_fetch_assoc($nav_pages)) { ?>
<a href="<?php echo url_for('index.php?id=' . h(u($nav_page['id']))); ?>">
<?php echo h($nav_page['menu_name']); ?></a>
<?php } ?>
<?php mysqli_free_result($nav_pages); ?>
</ul>
<?php } ?>
<?php mysqli_free_result($nav_subjects); ?>
</li>
So I'm building a custom breadcrumb nav to list all fundraising options. The pages are using a unique layout called "fundraising_page." Is there a way to grab the pages only if they have the "fundraising_page" layout? So far I have this, which is grabbing every page regardless of the template it is using.
So what I need is only to list the pages that are using the "fundraising_page" template.
<?php $collection = Mage::getModel('cms/page')->getCollection()->addStoreFilter(Mage::app()->getStore()->getId());?>
<?php $collection->getSelect()->where('is_active = 1'); ?>
<ul>
<?php foreach ($collection as $page): ?>
<?php $PageData = $page->getData(); ?>
<?php if($PageData['identifier']!='no-route'){ ?>
<li>
<?php echo $PageData['title'] ?>
</li>
<?php } ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
Here's some well formatted code and using proper methods.
<?php
$collection = Mage::getModel('cms/page')->getCollection()
->addStoreFilter(Mage::app()->getStore()->getId())
->addFieldToFilter('is_active', 1)
->addFieldToFilter('root_template', 'fundraising_page');
?>
<?php foreach ($collection as $page): ?>
<?php if ($page->getIdentifier() != 'no-route'): ?>
<li>
<?php echo $page->getTitle() ?>
</li>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
Instead of if($PageData['identifier']!='no-route') try
if($PageData['root_template']=='fundraising_page')
I need help. I use this code to get the category link under products info on a few pages in Magento:
<?php $categories = $_product->getCategoryIds(); ?>
<span>In </span>
<?php $i=1; foreach($categories as $k => $_category_id): ?>
<?php if($i>1) {break;} ?>
<?php $_category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($_category_id) ?>
<a class="in-category" href="<?php echo $_category->getUrl() ?>"><?php echo $_category->getName() ?></a>
<?php $i++; endforeach; ?>
You can see it here: http://192.241.178.130/new_arrivals
Problem I'm having is that I want the script to display the category closest to the product but it's instead displaying the root category (Default category of the site)
M
Thanks.
Try something like this:
<?php
$categoryIds = $_product->getCategoryIds();
$categories = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')
->addAttributeToSelect('url_key')//add url key to select
->addAttributeToSelect('name')//add name to select
->getCollection() //get categories as collection
->addAttributeToFilter('entity_id', $categoryIds)//filter only by selected ids
->addAttributeToFilter('is_active', 1)//get only active categories
->addAttributeToFilter('level', array('gte'=>2))//ignore root category and 'root of roots'
->setOrder('level', 'desc');//sort by level descending
$mainCategory = $categories->getFirstItem();//get only the category lowest in the tree
if ($mainCategory->getId()) : ?>
<a class="in-category" href="<?php echo $mainCategory->getUrl() ?>"><?php echo $mainCategory->getName() ?></a>
<?php endif;?>
Instead of using a foreach to walk one time through the array you can use array_pop.
Anyhow the function getCategoryIds() will return an array of all categories the product is in. This also include parent categories and are in logical order. The category with the lowest id will show up first.
Perhaps something like this will work for you:
<?php $_category_id = array_pop($_product->getCategoryIds()); ?>
<span>In </span>
<?php $_category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($_category_id) ?>
<a class="in-category" href="<?php echo $_category->getUrl() ?>">
<?php echo $_category->getName() ?>
</a>
Just to give you an idea. I hae 3 levels of categories.
Top Level > Sub Categories > Children of Sub Categories
What I don't want to display is the children of the sub categories.
The below code shows every category. (Sorry the paste didn't format very well.)
<?php
// ---- PRODUCT NAVIGATION ---- \\
$nav_obj = new Mage_Catalog_Block_Navigation();
$store_cats = $nav_obj->getStoreCategories();
$current_cat = $nav_obj->getCurrentCategory();
?>
<ul>
<?php foreach ($store_cats as $cat):?>
<?php
$ids = strtolower(str_replace(" ", "_", $cat->getName()));
$ids = str_replace("&", "", $ids);
?>
<li class="parent" id="<?php echo $ids; ?>"><?php echo $cat->getName()?>
<ul>
<?php foreach (Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($cat->getId())->getChildrenCategories() as $childCategory): ?>
<li><a href="<?php echo $childCategory->getUrl(); ?>">
<?php echo $childCategory->getName()?></a></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
I've got a similar thing I'm working on. I'm basically passing over each category and rendering the stuff I want to render:
<?php # get category list ?>
<?php $_helper = Mage::helper('catalog/category') ?>
<?php $_categories = $_helper->getStoreCategories() ?>
<?php foreach($_categories as $_category) : ?>
<?php # turn it into the proper model object ?>
<?php $_category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($_category->getId()) ?>
<?php echo $_category->getName() ?>
<?php foreach($_category->getChildrenCategories() as $_subCategory) : ?>
<?php echo $_subCategory->getName() ?>
<?php endforeach ?>
<?php endforeach ?>
I'm building a Magento store and want to be able to display a list of categories and have each category link to its own page.
I have a 'Brands' category with an ID of 42 and I want to display a list of the sub-categories and ensure that each one links to the designated URL key in the CMS.
Has anyone had experience of doing this with Magento?
If you're comfortable editing your theme, this code snippet will bring you a list of all sub-categories of the current category (from the session, so this should work anywhere in your theme). I typically use this in app/design/frontend/default/theme_name/template/catalog/category/view.phtml
<?php
$_category = $this->getCurrentCategory();
$collection = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->getCategories($_category->entity_id);
$helper = Mage::helper('catalog/category');
?>
<ul>
<?php foreach ($collection as $cat):?>
<?php if($_category->getIsActive()):?>
<?php
$cur_category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($cat->getId());
$_img = $cur_category->getImageUrl();
?>
<li>
<a href="<?php echo $helper->getCategoryUrl($cat);?>">
<img src="<?php echo $_img?>" title="<?php echo $cat->getName();?>"/>
<cite><?php echo $cat->getName();?></cite>
</a>
</li>
<?php endif?>
<?php endforeach;?>
</ul>
If You want to Display top level categories and subcategories U can do Like This..
<?php $_helper = Mage::helper('catalog/category') ?>
<?php $_categories = $_helper->getStoreCategories() ?>
<?php $currentCategory = Mage::registry('current_category') ?>
<?php if (count($_categories) > 0): ?>
<ul>
<?php foreach($_categories as $_category): ?>
<li>
<a href="<?php echo $_helper->getCategoryUrl($_category) ?>">
<?php echo $_category->getName() ?>
</a>
<?php $_category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($_category->getId()) ?>
<?php $_subcategories = $_category->getChildrenCategories() ?>
<?php if (count($_subcategories) > 0): ?>
<ul>
<?php foreach($_subcategories as $_subcategory): ?>
<li>
<a href="<?php echo $_helper->getCategoryUrl($_subcategory) ?>">
<?php echo $_subcategory->getName() ?>
</a>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
For Displaying Top Level Categories and Current Categories SubCategories you can Do like ....
<?php $_helper = Mage::helper('catalog/category') ?>
<?php $_categories = $_helper->getStoreCategories() ?>
<?php $currentCategory = Mage::registry('current_category') ?>
<?php if (count($_categories) > 0): ?>
<ul>
<?php foreach($_categories as $_category): ?>
<li>
<a href="<?php echo $_helper->getCategoryUrl($_category) ?>">
<?php echo $_category->getName() ?>
</a>
<?php if ($currentCategory && $currentCategory->getId() == $_category->getId()): ?>
<?php $_category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($_category->getId()) ?>
<?php $_subcategories = $_category->getChildrenCategories() ?>
<?php if (count($_subcategories) > 0): ?>
<ul>
<?php foreach($_subcategories as $_subcategory): ?>
<li>
<a href="<?php echo $_helper->getCategoryUrl($_subcategory) ?>">
<?php echo $_subcategory->getName() ?>
</a>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
This question requires a long answer. I will point you to the right places.
1) Best solution is to use the free extension. I haven't tried it, but it will suit the purpose. You will have to do some CSS to achieve the right look and feel.
http://www.magentocommerce.com/extension/1562/magento-easy-catalog-images
Demo: http://extension01.templates-master.com/gb/electronics.html
2) I do not trust in modules as it might become difficult to upgrade if the vendor decided to stop supporting it. I have used the information from the following forum thread to create a vew sites. Have a look... Might not be straight forward. You might have to make some copies of core files to the local directory.

Hopefully this will be of help to you :)
I made this little video on how I create custom category listing blocks with Magento.
I am sure there are better ways of achieving this or even something I could have done better, but it’s just my method. I only created this it in hopes that it helps explain somethings to some people out there.
Magento Custom Category Listing Block
Thanks!
after looking at all the solutions on the magento site, i found that wookiehangover's solution above worked and took about 8 seconds to implement.
creates a UL that you can style. thanks.
After creating static block you can get any list of the subcategories by this script:
$_helper = Mage::helper('catalog/category');
$_category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load(5);
$_subcategories = $_category->getChildrenCategories();
if (count($_subcategories) <= 0) { return; }
$count = 0;
foreach($_subcategories as $_category) {
$category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($_category->getId());
$ret->{"object_".$count} ->url = $_helper->getCategoryUrl($_category);
$ret->{"object_".$count} ->name = $_category->getName();
$ret->{"object_".$count} ->id = $_category->getId();
$ret->{"object_".$count} ->image = $category->getImageUrl();
$count++;
}
return $ret;
}
$list = list_subcategories(5);
echo "<pre>"; print_r($list); echo "</pre>";
?>
How about listing only the categories belonging to the current item. Not all the categories on the page.
But in a tree like view.
CATEGORIE - sub cat 1
CATEGORIE 2 - sub cat 1 - sub sub cat 1
