I have some custom attributes for my project.
Attribute1 : Use in home page sidebar(yes/no)
if it is yes show the below attribute.
Attribute2 : Browse image
I want to add attribute2 based on the attribute1. Only when the Use in Home Page Sidebar is enabled , my new attribute will be shown below of the current. I.e., it will be a dependent attribute. Does somebody know the script for adding dependent attributes in Magento?
Previously i added custom attributes by
$this->startSetup();
$this->addAttribute(Mage_Catalog_Model_Category::ENTITY, 'use_home_page_side_bar', array(
'group' => 'General',
'input' => 'select',
'type' => 'int',
'label' => 'Use in Home Page Sidebar',
'backend' => '',
'source' => 'eav/entity_attribute_source_boolean',
'visible' => true,
'required' => false,
'visible_on_front' => true,
'global' => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_GLOBAL,
));
$this->endSetup();
Like this script, is there any script for adding dependent attributes?
If you are working on admin forms, then a class exists for automatically hiding elements when the value of fields change.
Below is an example which shows field dependency.
$form = new Varien_Data_Form();
$form->addField('yesno', 'select', array(
'label' => $this->__('Yes or No?'),
'values' => Mage::model('adminhtml/system_config_source_yesnocustom')
->toOptionArray(),
));
$form->addField('custom_value', text, array(
'label' => $this->__('Other'),
));
// Append dependency javascript
$this->setChild('form_after', $this->getLayout()
->createBlock('adminhtml/widget_form_element_dependence')
->addFieldMap('yesno', 'yesno')
->addFieldMap('custom_value', 'custom_value')
->addFieldDependence('custom_value', 'yesno', 2) // 2 = 'Specified'
);
You need to map every field name to an element ID. You can add as many field mappings and field dependencies in this way as you wish.
I have created simple category attribute dependency by adding new input renderer for attribute. It is working this way:
You have several attributes:
– my_attribute
– my_attribute_text
– my_attribute_select
Note that they all start from my_attribute.
First attribute has boolean type. When it is set to true – other attributes that start from my_attribute is visible.

how to add custom attribute in catalog/category in admin general tab which will display only on specific store not for all.
$installer = $this;
$installer->startSetup();
$installer->addAttribute(Mage_Catalog_Model_Category::ENTITY,
'banner_img1',
array(
'group' => 'General',
'type' => 'text',
'label' => 'Door Banner Image1',
'visible' => true,
'required' => false,
'visible_on_front' => false,
'global' => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_STORE,
));
$installer->endSetup();`
but above code create attribute in all store view i want to show only for 1 store
Magento attributes do not work that way. Store scope means that attribute can have different value for each store view, but you can't have it exist for one and not for other.
Even tho there's no way to add an attribute only for one store view, you can upload the image only for particular store view and add the check in your theme which will output the attribute only if it's present.
Is it possible to use the addAttribute function to add an attribute directly to a specific product new & edit tab? For example the price tab?
Sure, just specify the tab by attribute 'group':
$installer->addAttribute('catalog_product', 'my_custom_product_attr',
array(
...
'group' => 'Tab XY',
...
));
You may also want to order your attribute inside the tab. You can do this by specifying the attribute position:
$installer->addAttribute('catalog_product', 'my_custom_product_attr',
array(
...
'group' => 'Tab XY',
'position' => Z
...
));
i want to send manufacturer email when order is made . For that i want to add email address of manufacturer in Manufacturer product attribute ? How to achieve this ?
I'm gonna assume that you are asking how to do it in code? Anyway, just build a small module with an install script (tutorials all over the web), and make the setup script look something like this:
$installer = $this;
$installer->startSetup();
// check if the attribute exists
if (Mage::getModel('catalog/resource_eav_attribute')->loadByCode('catalog_product','calculated_sold')->getId() !== NULL) {
$installer->removeAttribute('catalog_product', 'calculated_sold');
}
// not anymore, that's for sure!
// Note! For product attributes the XML set class needs to be "Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Setup"
// instead of "Mage_Customer_Model_Entity_Setup" as you would usually go with.
$installer->addAttribute('catalog_product','calculated_sold', array (
'type' => 'decimal',
'label' => 'Calculated sold',
'input' => 'price', // for filtering to work only certain input types allowed
'global' => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_STORE,
'searchable' => true,
'filterable' => true,
'visible' => false,
'required' => false,
'visible_in_advanced_search' => true,
'used_in_product_listing' => true,
'used_for_sort_by' => true,
'apply_to' => 'configurable', // yeah!
));
$installer->endSetup();
This example adds an attribute to keep track of how many items are sold, but it will give you an idea of how to change it for your own needs.
I'm using Yiibooster and the TbGridView to show some results. I'm also using the following code to provide smart looking icons to a view, update and delete link.
array(
'htmlOptions' => array('nowrap'=>'nowrap'),
'class'=>'bootstrap.widgets.TbButtonColumn',
'viewButtonUrl'=>'Yii::app()->createUrl("/item/view", array("id"=>$data["id"], "sector" => $data["sector"]["slug"],"title" => $data["slug"]))',
'updateButtonUrl'=>'Yii::app()->createUrl("/item/update", array("id"=>$data["id"]))',
'deleteButtonUrl'=>null,
)
What I'd like to do is basically be able to show another button in there or in replace of the delete button. I'm just unsure how (or where specifically) I need to code the values for the this button.
I'm currently looking at the TbButtonColumn.php file and tried just adding a button just to see if it would work it didn't.
What would be the correct process to to do this?
Thanks in advance
Jonny
There is a buttons parameter for additional buttons, it is in docs od CButtonColumns, here is sample from link:
array(
'class'=>'CButtonColumn',
// Template to set order of buttons
'template' => '{postview} {preview}',
// Buttons config
'buttons' => array(
'postview' => array(
'label' => '...', // text label of the button
'url' => '...', // the PHP expression for generating the URL of the button
'imageUrl' => '...', // image URL of the button. If not set or false, a text link is used
'options' => array(...), // HTML options for the button tag
'click' => '...', // a JS function to be invoked when the button is clicked
),
'preview' => array(
// Another button config
),
),
),
NOTE: This is example for CButtonColumn but TbButtonColumn is a subclass of CButtonColumn, so everything applies to both.
I'm quite new in magento, I work version 1.6.2.0.
I'm trying to add my own Custom Shipping Method module and I have few problems.
My magento has already custom checkout module - Threestep checkout, what I'm trying to do is save additional shipping info which I choose in 3rd step (Payment and Shipping) (something like Store Pickup place) to Quote, and then in Review retrive Quote data and save it to Order.
I'm using Events to do this:
checkout_controller_onepage_save_shipping_method to save data to Quote
checkout_type_onepage_save_order to save data to Order
The problem is that Quote and Order doesn't have any free place where i can save my data, so I created installer for my module:
$installer = $this;
$installer->startSetup();
$packboxName = array(
'type' => 'varchar',
'backend' => '',
'frontend' => '',
'label' => 'packboxname',
'input' => '',
'class' => '',
'source' => '',
'global' => 1,
'visible' => true,
'required' => false,
'user_defined' => false,
'default' => '',
'searchable' => false,
'filterable' => false,
'comparable' => false,
'visible_on_front' => false,
'visible_in_advanced_search' => false,
'unique' => false
);
$installer->addAttribute('order', "packboxname", $packboxName);
$installer->getConnection()->addColumn($installer->getTable('sales/order'), 'packboxname', 'varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL');
$installer->addAttribute('quote', "packboxname", $packboxName);
$installer->getConnection()->addColumn($installer->getTable('sales/quote'), 'packboxname', 'varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL');
$installer->endSetup();
And i got a error saying that
$installer->addAttribute('quote'
has wrong Entity Id.
So I checked DB, table: eav_entity_type and there wasn't any 'quote' type (hopefully there was a 'order') I didn't really know what I should do so, I tried to google something, I found tutorial and modified my installer.
$installer->addEntityType('quote', array(
'entity_model' => 'sales/quote',
'table' =>'sales/quote',
));
Now it's working I have additional place where I can save my info, but my friend told me that I shouldn't use addEntityType, Is there any other way to achive what I need?
I think perhaps what you're looking for can be found in this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/4389786/823549
An important point made in that answer is the event fired, sales_convert_quote_to_order - this will get fired when the quote is being converted to an order, and will happen regardless of what your other checkout module does. This answer is also useful as you can see the details of your custom column in the orders grid page.
