15 Apr 2013If you ever find a need to, as a result of your custom action, display the 404 page to customer, you can do it by using the following code inside your controller class
1 2 3 | $this->getResponse()->setHeader('HTTP/1.1','404 Not Found'); $this->getResponse()->setHeader('Status','404 File not found'); $this->_forward('defaultNoRoute'); |
This way you’ll be calling the default Magento dispatcher and it will set the 404 headers and display the 404 page you set as a default 404 page in your Magento admin.

18 Oct 2012In order to run Rails server in production mode, you need to use following line:
1 | rails s -e production |
However, please notice that Rails assumes that you have your files precompiled for production environment. If you want to change this and have compiling during runtime in production you must change config.assets.compile in config/environments/production.rb to following:
1 | config.assets.compile = true |

11 Oct 2012Suppose you want to display all the attributes of one product. You can easily get the id of the value by call the unversal method
1 | $attributeValueId = $_product->getResource()->getColor(); |
where color is the name of the attribute. If you’ve already loaded the whole product into the variable $_product then you don’t need the getResource() part. Also, attributes should be named with lowcase letters, and their respectful methods are formed with the prefix get and capital first letter, but if you have two-word named attribute (for example my_attribute – remember, no whitespaces in the object names in Magento!) then you could get it with the method getMyAttribute() which follows the standard Zend naming convention.
Now, in order to display je value meaningful to the user, and not just the id, you can fetch all the values into the associative array
1 2 3 | $attribute = Mage::getModel('eav/config')->getAttribute('catalog_product', 'color'); foreach ($attribute->getSource()->getAllOptions(true, true) as $instance) { $myArray[$instance['value']] = $instance['label']; |
and simply use it in your display!
4 5 6 7 8 | $_product->load($idOfTheProduct); $attributeValueId = $_product->getColor(); echo 'This shirt is ' . $myArray[$attributeValueId]; |

First time you can enable it by running
INSERT INTO core_config_data (scope, scope_id, path, value) VALUES ('default', 0, 'dev/debug/template_hints', 1), ('default', 0, 'dev/debug/template_hints_blocks', 1); |
If you want to disable it, just run
UPDATE core_config_data SET value = 0 WHERE scope = 'default' AND scope_id = 0 AND path in ('dev/debug/template_hints','dev/debug/template_hints_blocks') |
And if you want to enable it again, run
UPDATE core_config_data SET value = 1 WHERE scope = 'default' AND scope_id = 0 AND path in ('dev/debug/template_hints','dev/debug/template_hints_blocks') |
