I've created a custom extension and I'm trying to render a custom block. However, I see nothing.
My code is as follows;
app/code/local/Gdaze/Megamenu/etc/config.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
<modules>
<Gdaze_Megamenu>
<version>0.1.0</version>
</Gdaze_Megamenu>
</modules>
<global>
<blocks>
<megamenu>
<class>Gdaze_Megamenu_Block</class>
</megamenu>
</blocks>
</global>
</config>
app/code/local/Gdaze/Megamenu/Block/Customblock.php
<?php
class Gdaze_Megamenu_Block_Customblock extends Mage_Core_Block_Template
{
}
?>
app/design/frontend/rwd/site/gdaze/megamenu.phtml
<?php echo "Works"; ?>
My method of calling the block.
<?php $this->getLayout()->createBlock('megamenu/customblock')->setTemplate('gdaze/megamenu.phtml')->toHtml(); ?>
I don't really understand what's happening here. I've tried whitelisting the block (a new problem since 1.9.2.2) by adding megamenu/customblock. I've googled the cr*p out of this, but everything suggested just doesn't seem to work. Am I missing something really obvious? Any ideas?
Turns out, I was a bit of an idiot. In my calling statement, I neglected to echo the results.
<?php ***echo*** $this->getLayout()->createBlock('megamenu/customblock')->setTemplate('gdaze/megamenu.phtml')->toHtml(); ?>

public function getVatNumber()
{
$storeVAT = Mage::getStoreConfig("general/store_information/merchant_vat_number");
return $storeVAT;

I manged to fix this. I misplaced the etc directory. I placed in inside Block, instead of making it to be on the same level.

Using magento for my shopping cart system. I have mini cart on top menu, when I added product it will show product title with price in mini cart. Currently have product quantity edit link but I need quantity box in mini cart to update quantity with ajax. I have followed this link http://ceckoslab.com/magento/magento-check-if-product-is-in-cart/, but getting following error
Fatal error: Class 'Mage_Smartview_Helper_Data' not found in /app/Mage.php on line 547
can anyone help me to resolve above error ?
When Magento is trying to look to Mage_Somemodule_ instead of your own module, it does means that it did not found your own file or your own module.
Three possible reasons :
Your module is not recognized at all, maybe something is wrong in your module definition
Something is wrong/mistyped in your config.xml
Something is wrong/mistyped in your class name
Be sure you have everything right from the tutorial and/or copy paste your code here so we can help further
In this case the two xml are wrong in the way that it should not ignore case sensitivity
CeckosLab_SmartView.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
<modules>
<CeckosLab_SmartView>
<active>true</active>
<codePool>local</codePool>
</CeckosLab_SmartView >
</modules>
</config>
config.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
<modules>
<CeckosLab_SmartView>
<version>1.0.0</version>
</CeckosLab_SmartView>
</modules>
<global>
<helpers>
<smartview>
<class>CeckosLab_SmartView_Helper</class>
</smartview>
</helpers>
</global>
</config>

If your helper error contains Mage_ before your module, it means your helper is either not defined or defined incorrectly in your module's xml or you are calling it incorrectly.
If it is defined correctly this should work:
Mage::helper('smartview')->doSomething();
or try:
Mage::helper('ceckoslab_smartview')->doSomething();
Also, make sure you clear the cache as xml is cached heavily.
Hope this helps
Make enrty in config.xml
<global>
......
<helpers>
<test>
<class>Module_Test_Helper</class>
</test>
</helpers>
......
</global>
Create a Data.php file inside Helper folder and write following code
<?php
class Module_Test_Helper_Data extends Mage_Core_Helper_Abstract
{
}
Thats it you need to do now if you call this code it will not throw any error:
<?php Mage::helper("test")->actionname(); ?>
I created a new package/theme/skin from scratch in Magento 1.9.1.
The theme and skin load fine. I tried adding translations and cannot get them to load. All cache settings are disabled.
I've added the CSV file here:
/app/design/frontend/{my_package}/{my_theme}/locale/en_US/translate.csv
translate.csv:
"testing123","Translation Worked"
header.phtml
<?= $this->__('testing123') ?>
I added {my_theme}, which for me is named "responsive" to the admin at the :
The result is the header displaying 'testing123' instead of the translated 'Translation Worked'. What have I missed? How do I troubleshoot this?
Update:
I've also added translate.csv to config.xml (and it still does not work). However, It DOES work if I move the translate.csv to app/locale/en_US but it DOES NOT work in app/design/frontend/{my_package}/{my_theme}/locale/en_US/translate.csv where I want it. How can I tell it to load from the theme folder?
config.xml:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
<modules>
<MyModule_Templates>
<version>0.1.0</version>
</MyModule_Templates>
</modules>
<frontend>
<translate>
<modules>
<MyModule_Templates>
<files>
<default>translate.csv</default>
</files>
</MyModule_Templates>
</modules>
</translate>
</frontend>
<global>
<page>
<layouts>
<mymodule_default translate="label">
<label>MyModule Default Layout</label>
<template>page/default.phtml</template>
<layout_handle>mymodule_default</layout_handle>
</mymodule_default>
</layouts>
</page>
</global>
</config>
Seems, You forgot to add translate.csv to your module's config.xml.
Please take a look.
http://inchoo.net/magento/how-to-add-your-own-translations-to-custom-modules/
i struggled with the same problem. Solution for me was to change the translation Source in the Admin Area.
Go to : Configuration -> select your Store view ( new Translation ) -> General -> under "options for localisation" uncheck the box and choose which translation you want to use. Afterwards, the translate.csv gets loaded and the translation works.

Following the instructions from this page:
http://www.magento.cc/how-to-use-php-on-a-cms-page.html
1) i declared the module in the app/etc/modules :
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
<modules>
<Stock_status>
<active>true</active>
<codePool>local</codePool>
</Stock_status>
</modules>
</config>
2) Then i created the config.xml in app\code\local\Stock\status\Custom\etc with these contents in it:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
<global>
<blocks>
<Stock_status>
<class>Stock_status_Block</class>
</Stock_status>
</blocks>
</global>
</config>
3) afterwards i created a test.php in app/code/local/Stock/status/Custom/Block file with these contents in it:
<?php
class Stock_status_Block_Test extends Mage_Core_Block_Abstract
{
protected function _toHtml()
{
.Mage::helper('customstockstatus')->getListStatus($_product->getId()).
return $html;
}
}
and finally
4) i went in a cms page to see if it works by putting this value in:
{{block type="Stock_status_Custom/test" ListStatus="02"}}
This line of code should return me the stock status of a specific product (in this example, the product with the ID 02)
BUT it doesn't work. What have i done incorrectly? Can someone please help me?
These are an unnecessary works, you can simply call the php file by adding the following line into that cms page content
{{block type="core/template" template="page/urfile.phtml"}}
Then create file under the page directory
go to Magento Admin->CMS->Pages
Click Add New Page
Input Page Title
Input URL Key
Right Content inside (body)
paste your code.
Hope this help
I am building a second add to cart button with a different redirect on a magento platform.
The tutorial I've used is self explainatory. See here
It works okey as the redirect is in place.
The thing is: The cart itself doesnt show its page (cart.phtml) anymore.
Any idea how to fix this? Or where the problem exists?
If I remove the code underneath the cart is back again, as the redirect isn't working anymore.
File : config.xml
<global>
<routers>
<checkout>
<rewrite>
<cart>
<to>mycheckout/cart</to>
<override_actions>true</override_actions>
<actions>
<add>
<to>mycheckout/cart/add</to>
</add>
</actions>
</cart>
</rewrite>
</checkout>
</routers>
</global>
Seems like your extension does not extend the cart controller that you are overwriting making it impossible to display the methods from original controller
