Explore Magento

Sorry for the comments in the code - The theme being used might have some conflicting CSS with the Code viewer which is resulting in comments being floated to the right and having a background image

You’ll need to scroll to see them.

A more standard way to get block html:

// get layout object
$layout = Mage::getSingleton(’core/layout’);

// create block object
$block = $layout->createBlock(’catalog/product_ajax’);

/* choose whatever category ID you want */
$block->setCategoryId(3);
$block->setTemplate(’catalog/product/ajaxevents.phtml’);

// output block html
echo $block->toHtml();

Thanks unirgy. I’ve incorporated that into my code snippet.

I tried to use the session integration examples with the latest Magento, so far no success.

Still, I have a project that really needs to integrate with the user sessions of a shopping cart and Magento is the most powerful option around.

My testing code:
———————————————————-
loadByEmail(’some@email.address’); /* need a users email address */
//$session = Mage::getSingleton(’customer/session’);
//$session->start();
$session = Mage::getSingleton(’customer/session’, array(’name’=>’frontend’));

echo(”");
print_r($session);
Reflection::export(new ReflectionClass(’Mage_Customer_Model_Session’));
echo(”");

echo($session->getCustomerId());

if ($session->isLoggedIn()) {
/* do something if logged in */
echo(”do something if logged in”);
} else {
/* do something else if not logged in */
echo(”do something else if not logged in”);
}
?>
———————————————————-

Check out these files:
app\code\core\Mage\Customer\Model\session.php
and
app\code\core\Mage\Customer\Model\customer.php

$customer = Mage::getModel(’customer/customer’)->loadByEmail(’email@address.com’);

$session = Mage::getModel(’customer/session’)->setCustomer($customer);
//can also try
//->login
//->setCustomerAsLoggedIn

Check out the files (and the ones they extend!) to check out starting a session and all that!

\app\code\core\Mage\Core\Model\Session\Abstract\Varien.php
This one contains the “start” function

\app\code\core\Mage\Core\Model\Session\session.php
This seems to mostly deal with session messaging

Found it.

Th secret to reinitializing the logged-in user’s session is to first instantiate ‘core/session’ and THEN ‘customer/session’.

So the magic lines to make the lest example work is:
. . .

Mage::getSingleton(’core/session’, array(’name’=>’frontend’));

$session = Mage::getSingleton(’customer/session’, array(’name’=>’frontend’));

. . .

do you have the sample code for ajaxevents.phtml?

Pejie, just check out “list.phtml” found here:

app\code\core\Mage\Catalog\Block\Product\list.phtml

This is the file I start with to do any product list output from my modules (it’s equipped to handle any product collection)

Thanks Fido, i thought the ajaxevents.phtml is another separate file….

Your magento code works outside magento but when I tried to run magento code in my CMS i got the “Fatal error: Cannot redeclare __autoload() in W:\www\magento\app\code\core\Mage\Core\functions.php on line 62″ because there is __autoload function declared in my CMS….. how can i solve this error?

Anyone know how to load an object where I can fetch the price, discount and other Product related data?

Never tried this but I can see how useful it will be - will let you know my progress!

pejie did you ever get an answer to your fatal error cannot redeclare autoload? I am getting the same with trying to run code from Joomla my cms here is what I get any help would be much appreciated.

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare __autoload() (previously declared in /home/emaginei/public_html/libraries/loader.php:159) in /home/emaginei/public_html/shop/app/code/core/Mage/Core/functions.php on line 77

Parky - without knowing for sure, I’d guess that there is a conflict between Magento and Joomla both implementing the __autoload “magic method” within the same scope.

For those who don’t know, __autoload is called automatically by PHP when a class is called that is not available yet. This magic method allows you to create an implementation to include/require(_once) a php file based on the name of the class being called.

I’m not sure for a solution on this off the top of my head - it depends on if there is a way to combine the autoload implementations between the two correctly of if there is a way to move the scope of one of the autoload functions so they are not interfering.

Hope this helps! (php.net will tell more on how __autoload functions!)

Hi Fido,

I am newbie in magneto commerce. I wanted to know how i can make ajax call in magento commerce actually i did it through method which simply call .php file by xmlhttp request and it’s worked but real problem is i need to place them outside means on root which is not correct. I want to use standard way calling them through contoller which i tried without success. I guess real problem is with url rewriting process because of which it’s not able to locate URL or php file if i use controller method.

Hi

I’m also trying to use the session intergration exemple with no success, the reply of my script is always “not connected”…

I need to test if the current user of magento is connected and in this case to collect some informations about it…

Someone can help me

here is my script :

/* inclusion du fichier Mage.php */
require_once ‘magento_store/app/Mage.php’;
//umask(0);

$app = Mage::app(’default’);
Mage::getSingleton(’core/session’, array(’name’=>’frontend’));
$session = Mage::getSingleton(’customer/session’, array(’name’=>’frontend’));

/* test l’utilisateur est loggé ou pas */
if ($session->isLoggedIn()) {
echo “connected”;
} else {
echo “not connected”;

}
