I have a file (js.phtml) where my code executes. I need to access some user data. When I error_log($this) in js.phtml, it displays, "Mage_Core_Block_Template" - which is confusing to me. I would expect that to be the parent class, not the value of the class getting passed to my .phtml file.
So, how do I supply the .phtml file with custom objects or methods? I'm super new to Magento and I've just been dropped into a task, so I apologize for possibly using incorrect terminology.
Edit:
My full file path is:
/app/design/frontend//default/template/customer/welcome/js.phtml
There is also a full module dir here:
/app/code/local//Customer/
Edit:
I need access to the users country and userid. It's ok if country is null.
Edit:
I've been doing additional research, it looks like I can do something like this:
Current user in Magento?
But I haven't tried it in code yet ....
Edit: Figured it out:
error_log(print_r(Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->getCustomer()->getEntityId(), true));
error_log(print_r(Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->getCustomer()->getCountry(), true));
To get customer ID:
echo Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->getCustomer()->getId();
To get country - depends from which address. Here's an example of getting the country code from the default billing address:
echo Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->getCustomer()->getDefaultBillingAddress()->getCountry();
I am somewhat new to Magento, but I think this should work.
$customer = Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->getCustomer();
That gets the customer object. Then...
echo $customer->getAddresses();
That should get the country somewhere in the address. As for userid...I don't see it on the documentation page..You could try
echo $customer->getAttributes();
And see what is in there. The documentation page is at:
http://docs.magentocommerce.com/Mage_Customer/Mage_Customer_Model_Customer.html

I'm making a plugin that will access a resource on different accounts.
I have made entries in wp-config.php as folow:
define('account_key_1','3452345dfg')
define('secret_1','123123')
define('account_key_2','3452345dfg')
define('secret_2','123123')
I would like to get the account detail into a variable based on a plugin shortcode settings
like
[myplugin account="1"]
would make the code use account 1
I have setup the code to get the value of the shortcode tag and it works and echo $account print whatever i put in the shortcode under account.
I have tryed to use
$key= accout_key_.$account
Put that sent it to "account_key_1"
if i do
$ket= account_key_1;
it works, but i would like to change the ket number dynamically based on the shortcode.
Any Ideas?
Your question wasn't that clear for me but based on your example, the below will print 3452345dfg
$account = 2;
$key = constant('account_key_'.$account);
echo $key;

I have spent hours searching to find where magento stores full county name.
We can get a full list of countries using this code:
$_countries = Mage::getResourceModel('directory/country_collection')
->loadData()
->toOptionArray(false);
This will return an array with country code and name, I investigated the directory module, and found out this call gets data from the table
directory_county
But this table don't have full county name! So where is it stored?
and how is it retrieved using that call?
Thanks in advance.
Ok so to compensate for my wrong answer. Here is how this works:
/lib/Zend/Locale/Data/en.xml - if your store is in english, else another xml in the same directoery is read. Every country is there and its code under the xml tag <territory>
The xml is cached using the Zend_Cache_Core class.
/lib/Zend/Locale.php - function getTranslation invokes the lib/Zend/Cache/Core.php class
to load from the cache.
Example: If you change the name of some country in en.xml and clear the magento cache. You will see the change when u invoke your code again.
Full country names are not stored in database. Magento uses inbuilt Zend functionality.
Check file: lib/Zend/Locale/Data/Translation.php for full list.
Use the Zend_Local translation.
<?php
$code = 'EN';
echo Mage::app()->getLocale()->getTranslation($code, 'Territory', null, 2);
?>
Use the column 'iso2_code' from the table 'directory_country' for your $code.
Magneto only stores country codes in DB, and relies for names on Zend's Locale module to provide translated names, for different locale.
By the toOptionArray method it invokes the Zend_Locale class to get the translated value.
Refer $name = Mage::app()->getLocale()->getCountryTranslation($data['value']);, which gets to Mage_Core_Model_Locale and then to Zend_Locale.
It decides which of the node from the data to read, by the switch case statement in Zend_Locale_Data::getContent() line# 962, 963
Magento caches the names, so if you make any change to XML files, make sure to clean your cache folder to get what you seek.
I am trying to add a custom link to a custom page using the vtiger_link table, with 2 parameters; 1 is the trouble ticket id which works fine:
This is in the URL field in the database:
modules/Helpdesk%20Info/index.php?ticketid=$RECORD$"target='helpdeskinfo'
and 2 is the id of the logged in user ($current_user) but it doesn't work:
modules/Helpdesk%20Info/index.php?ticketid=$RECORD$&$user=$current_user"target='helpdeskinfo'
It shows the page just as it should, but the variable $user gets the value '$current_user':
http://localhost:8888/modules/Helpdesk%20Info/index.php?ticketid=135409&$user=$current_user
I wanted to post a picture of the table, but I don't have enough reputation for that.
I have tried many things, but I am clearly doing something wrong.
Any help would be much appreciated.
I did not need to put the variable in the URL,
the reason I could not use the $current_user variable is because it didn't exist in "detailview.php" which is where the link ends up.
I used:
echo "<pre>";
print_r($GLOBALS);
echo "</pre>";
to view all globals, there I found the authenticated_user_id
Knowing I could use this I was able to access the global from my file without the URL:
$current_user = $_SESSION["authenticated_user_id"];
I would like to thank STT LCU for his advice, as he was the only one who helped me through this problem, which took me a full week in total.
I have some questions concering routing with Codeigniter. What I´m doing now is the following:
$route['articles/(:num)'] = 'articles/view/$1'; // $1 will contain an ID
This means that example.com/articles/123 will work perfectly and load an article with an ID of 123. But I also want to have the possiblilty to add the aticle´s title to the URL (for SEO). Example: example.com/articles/123/article-title
What I want is pretty much the same thing as Stack Overflow: stackoverflow.com/questions/123/the-title
How can I do that?
I´m also wondering how Stack Overflow works. If I go to stackoverflow/questions/111 the title will automatically be added to the url. Is that done with php redirect()?
I have done something similar in the past; I can't find it know but IIRC (it was months ago) You can use a route like you did, and also add a more specific one, like
$route['articles/(:num)/(:any)'] = 'articles/view/$1/$2';
$route['articles/(:num)'] = 'articles/view/$1';
As you can see, both map to the same method, which is kind of "overloaded"; you can make up for a missing parameter by using a default value:
function articles($id,$slug = FALSE)
{ }
and simply ignore the second parameter in your article retrieval.
As for adding the title you can:
have a "slug" field in your database, created when the article is saved. You can use the comfortable url_title($title,'dash',TRUE) function (in the url helper), which takes the $title, uses the dash as separator, and make it all lowercase;
use the above function and convert the title of the article (after you retrieved it from the database) "on-the-fly"; just check on the article() method if the 2nd parameter isn't false and you'll know if you need to create the slug or not;
As for how to show the slug even when using an url without it you can make, as you guessed, a redirect, but since both routes point to the same method it won't change anything for you.
Oh, uhm, beware of loops while calling the redirect, check carefully ;)
I suggest you to create a slug field into your table and complete it with the url you want to use as id.
Let me explain.
You have this table
id
title
slug
when you save an article into your db you can dinamically create a slug, for example:
id: 1
title: My first post
slug: 1-my-first-post
then you can use the slug (in this case 1-my-first-post) ad id for the page, you can call it:
www.example.com/articles/1-my-first-post
obviusly you need to handle it in your db slect
As we discussed on the comments.
You can create a route several times and with different parameters each, like:
$route['articles/(:num)/(:any)']
$route['articles/(:num)']
I would create a function with a redirect, adding or not the title to it.
Hope it helps.
Going a bit mad here... :)
I'm just trying to add CCK fields from a Content Profile content type into page-user.tpl.php (I'm creating a highly-themed user profile page).
There seem to be two methods, both of which have a unique disadvantage that I can't seem to overcome:
'$content profile' method.
$var = $content_profile->get_variables('profile');
print $var['field_last_name'][0]['safe'];
This is great, except I can't seem to pass the currently viewed user into $content_profile, and it therefore always shows the logged in user.
'$content profile load' method.
$account_id = arg(1);
$account = user_load($account_id);
$user_id = $account->uid;
$var = content_profile_load('profile', $user_id);
print $var->field_first_name[0]['value'];
Fine, but now I can't access the full rendered fields, only the plain values (i.e. if the field has paragraphs they won't show up).
How can I have both things at once? In other words how can I show fields relating to the currently viewed user that are also rendered (the 'safe' format in 1)?
I've Googled and Googled and I just end up going round in circles. :(
Cheers,
James
Your content profile load method seems to be the closest to what you want.
In your example:
$account_id = arg(1);
$account = user_load($account_id);
$user_id = $account->uid;
$var = content_profile_load('profile', $user_id);
print $var->field_first_name[0]['value'];
The $var is just a node object. You can get the "full rendered fields" in a number of ways (assuming you mean your field with a filter applied).
The most important thing to check is that you're field is actually configured properly.
Go to:
admin/content/node-type/[node-type]/fields/field_[field-name] to configure your field and make sure that under text processing that you've got "Filtered text" selected.
If that doesn't fix it,try applying this:
content_view_field(content_fields("field_last_name"), $var, FALSE, FALSE)
(more info on this here: http://www.trevorsimonton.com/blog/cck-field-render-node-formatter-format-output-print-echo )
in place of this:
print $var->field_first_name[0]['value'];
if none of that helps... try out some of the things i've got on my blog about this very problem:
http://www.trevorsimonton.com/blog/print-filtered-text-body-input-format-text-processing-node-template-field-php-drupal
When you're creating a user profile page there is a built in mechanism for it. just create a user template file, user_profile.tpl.php.
When you use the built in mechanism you automatically get access to the $account object of the user you are browsing, including all user profile cck fields. You have the fields you are looking for without having to programmatically load the user.
I have a field called profile_bio and am able to spit out any mark up that is in without ever having to ask for the $account.
<?php if ($account->content[Profile][profile_bio]['#value']) print "<h3>Bio</h3>".$account->content[Profile][profile_bio]['#value']; ?>
I've tried themeing content profiles by displaying profile node fields through the userpage before and it always seems a little "hacky" to me. What I've grown quite fond of is simply going to the content profile settings page for that node type and setting the display to "Display the full content". This is fine and dandy except for the stupid markup like the node type name that content profile injects.
a solution for that is to add a preprocess function for the content profile template. one that will unset the $title and remove the node-type name that appears on the profile normally.
function mymodule_preprocess_content_profile_display_view(&$variables) {
if ($variables['type'] == 'nodetypename') {
unset($variables['title']);
}
}
A function similar to this should do the trick. Now to theme user profiles you can simply theme your profile nodes as normal.
