Magento - Crack the Code

Hey Guys, It has been issued about duplicate content as well as has Google Canonical problem when your site accessible both under  your_domain.com and www.your_domain.com. For ex.: www.example.com example.com www.example.com/index.html   The socking fact is that,  these all are different URLs. From the search engine perspective, this can cause bit of an issue. To avoid such problems you can use the following lines in your .htaccess file, For www version of your web:   RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.your_domain.com$ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.your_domain.com/$1 [R=301] For Non-www version of your web: RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.your_domain\.com$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://your_domain.com/$1 [R=301,L] Another Way is : By Canonical Tag: The Canonical Tag look like this: <link rel=”canonical” href=”http://www.example.com”/> You have to simply add this tag inside (HEAD) section and also specify your preferred ...

Hi Buddies, If we make module which perform some action on order place time in magento 1.3.2.4. and now same thing want to upgrade on 1.4. . But what we see, no payment amount, currency are shown. . (this was happening only when we take order amount from the checkout session which work on 1.3 but not on 1.4). It is just because, In magento 1.3.2.4, checkout session was flushed after placing order, but in magento 1.4 version it is flushed on order place time. Don’t be panic, just take amount, currency, or whatever data you need. . take it from the order object. $orderId = Mage::getSingleton(‘checkout/session’)->getLastOrderId(); $order = Mage::getSingleton(‘sales/order’)->load($orderId); //for amount $order->getBaseGrandTotal() Cheers :)

Hi,guys Here i explain how you can prevent the cart from the old session from merging into the cart of the current session at the point when the customer login. Problem is, that a customer could basically be done shopping, logs in to their account and their cart gets filled with their old “last logged in” cart items as well as the ones they just recently picked. To prevent this from happening, here’s what I did The function loadCustomerQuote() in the observer observes the event customer_login and merges the current session quote with the last login quote object. you can see  loadCustomerQuote() in : Mage_Checkout_Model_Observer. Mage_Checkout_Model_Session. public function loadCustomerQuote() { $customerQuote = Mage::getModel('sales/quote') ->setStoreId(Mage::app()->getStore()->getId()) ->loadByCustomer(Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->getCustomerId());   if ($this->getQuoteId() != $customerQuote->getId()) { $this->...

in magento there is no available methods for attach file. once we do it in magento by adding a following code in  mage/core/model/email/template.php at the end of file. public function addAttachment(Zend_Pdf $pdf){         $file = $pdf->render();         $attachment = $this->getMail()->createAttachment($file);         $attachment->type = 'application/pdf';     $attachment->filename = 'yourfile.pdf';     }     but i prefer to use Zend_Mail to send mail with attached file. for this u need to do following. try{             $mail = new Zend_Mail();             $mail->setFrom("fromemail","fromname");             $mail->addTo("toemail","toname");     ...
