I'm trying to override
app/design/frontend/base/default/template/contacts/form.phtml.
I followed several guides without success:
I can only post one link since I don't have enough reputation to post more :(
http://www.magento.scommerce-mage.co.uk/override-phtml-or-layout-core-files-in-magento.html
In fact I'm even more confused now since they are all using different approaches. At the moment I'm trying to do it like in the last guide since this is the most up to date one(2014) without success so far.
So here is what I got:
app/code/local/Namespace/MyModule/etc/config.xml
<config>
<frontend>
<layout>
<updates>
<contactredirect>
<file>contactredirect.xml</file>
</contactredirect>
</updates>
</layout>
</frontend>
</config>
app/design/frontend/base/default/layout/contactredirect.xml
<layout version="0.1.0">
<contacts_index_index translate="label">
<reference name="contacts.form">
<action method="setTemplate">
<template>contactredirect/form.phtml</template>
</action>
</reference>
</contacts_index_index>
</layout>
And finally the location of my form.phtml (the content probably doesn't matter):
app/design/frontend/base/default/template/contactredirect/form.phtml.
Any help is appreciated!
use "contactForm" in reference name ie code should be--
<reference name="contactForm">
<action method="setTemplate">
<template>contactredirect/form.phtml</template>
</action>
</reference>

I am trying to add a block to product page by using my custom module.
I do not want to modify any magento default files for this. I know it's possible by modifying the code in view.phtml template. Below is what I tried so far. I have copied the default magento view.phtml file in all module template folder as below. I included layout file inside config.xml of my module and written code for the block.
view.phtml file I placed under each template of module folder.
app/desifn/frontend/default/default/template/mymodule/view.phtml
config.xml file of module -
<frontend>
<routers>
<modulename>
<use>standard</use>
<args>
<module>Module_name</module>
<frontName>modulefrontname</ntNafrome>
</args>
</modulename>
</routers>
<layout>
<updates>
<modulename module="module_name">
<file>module.xml</file>
</modulename>
</updates>
</layout>
</frontend>
This file is under -
app/desifn/frontend/default/default/layout/modulename.xml
<reference name="product.info">
<block type="module_name/product_view" name="product_list">
<action method="setTemplate" ifconfig="module_name/sp_category/status">
<template>modulename/product/view.phtml</template>
</action>
</block>
</reference>
Node modulename is invalid (wrong closing tag)
<updates>
<modulename module="module_name">
<file>module.xml</file>
</module>
</updates>
and also template paths do not match
/mymodule/view.phtml
and
modulename/product/view.phtml
But back to your initial Question:
view.phtml of default template does not contain getChildHtml without any parameters. So the only way to inject custom stuff is to use a block of type core/text_list, which is "product.info.simple.extra". All you need is to make use of before or after attributes in your xml layout.
It is required to totally clear the account dashboard page, to display custom layout which varies according to logged in customer's user group.
I did the following:
<customer_account_index translate="label">
<reference name="root">
<action method="setTemplate"><template>page/1column.phtml</template></action>
</reference>
<reference name="content">
<block type="MyModule/Dashboard" name="block_Dashboard" template="customer/Dashboard.phtml" />
</reference>
</customer_account_index>
I can see the output of 'customer/Dashboard.phtml', but how to remove all of these widgets?
Account Information
Contact Information
...
Can't find any layout handlers, nor the template reference for them in app/core/Mage/Customer/*
Where to dig ? Thanks!!!
It was inside the app/design/frontend/base/default/layout/customer.xml under the customer_account_index node.
I want to create a static block on homepage in right side for user login. Please see the below screen short:-
enter image description here
Try to update a layout XML file app/design/frontend/*DEFAULT*/*DEFAULT*/layout/.
You also may create your own local.xml file and put it in the contents.
<layout version="0.1.0">
<default>
<reference name="right">
<block type="your/type" template="path/to/your/template.phtml" />
</reference>
</default>
</layout>
I am stuck at adding a url link in block programmatically, I need to add a URL to customized page which edited under CMS/page and I want to add it in .xml file by adding something like below.
<action method="addLink"
translate="label title"
module="catalog">
<label>My Account</label>
<url helper="customer/getAccountUrl" />
<title>My Account</title>
</action>
Above sample retrieve url from module, but no idea what are the parameters should be used for static CMS/page url. Please help me out.
Let me take an example of top.links block to explain this.
<block type="page/template_links" name="top.links" as="topLinks"/>
The “addLink” function is defined in Mage_Page_Block_Template_Links. The definition of the function is
public function addLink($label, $url='', $title='', $prepare=false, $urlParams=array(),
$position=null, $liParams=null, $aParams=null, $beforeText='', $afterText='')
Also the phtml file where the html code for this is written is ‘page/template/links.phtml’.
<reference name="top.links">
<block type="wishlist/links" name="wishlist_link">
<action method="addWishlistLink"></action>
</block>
</reference>
Answer to your question is pretty simple.
Suppose we need to add a new link to top links, lets say a link for a CMS page called Terms and Conditions. To do this open a layout file, let say customer.xml and add the below code:
<default>
<reference name="top.links">
<action method="addLink" translate="label title">
<label>Terms and Condition</label>
<url>terms</url>
<title>Terms and Condition</title>
<prepare>true</prepare>
<position>2</position>
</action>
</reference>
</default>
How can I exclude Hibernate objects that are listed as FetchType.LAZY? It causes problems because I get a org.hibernate.LazyInitializationException. I understand that it is trying to serialize the object and it can not because the session is closed. How can I disable it? I have many objects that do this and it would not be feasible to make them eager nor to remove them as there are too many of them. Please help.
I was able to use includeProperties as suggested by nmc, however it would still be nice to not have to define the properties and see if JSONUtil can just ignore lazy loaded objects.
<result name="success" type="json">
<param name="includeProperties"> ^gridModel\[\d+\]\.first, ^gridModel\[\d+\]\.last, rows, page, total, record</param>
</result>
In your struts.xml:
<result name="success" type="json">
<param name="excludeProperties">
<!-- insert comma separated parameters to be excluded here -->
</param>
</result>
Or you can also do an includeProperties. See http://struts.apache.org/2.2.3/docs/json-plugin.html for more details.
