How to activate "Maintenance Mode" in #Magento
Problem:
You need to hide or block the access to your Magento web site, but that block need to be conditional for only some IP address.
Solution:
Since the version 1.4 is possible to activate a Maintenance Mode just creating a file called maintenance.flag in your root directory but that is not really useful at all.
You need a workaround, to allow the access to some IP adress:
1. Open index.php in the root .
2. Look for that line:
if (file_exists($maintenanceFile)) {
3. Replace it with that one:
if (file_exists($maintenanceFile) && !in_array($ip, $allowed)) {
4. Paste next code just above the line before:
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$allowed = array('0.0.0.0','9.9.9.9');
5. In the $allowed array you have to included the IP allowed to access to your website.

Create an Alphabetical Index on Prestashop CustomCode
Problem:
We need to add a filter in a prestashop view (.tpl file), to allow visitors to filter displayed data; i found that solution while trying to update "manufacturer" view as a customer need.
Solution:
Without buy any module we can get that functionality with a little and easy custom php code only updating 2 files:
/themes/<template>/manufacturer-list.tpl
/controllers/front/ManufacturerController.php
Lets go to see the process:
1.- Create filter criteria.
Open manufacturer-list.tpl and add HTML code for display the filter options, like that:
A-B-C-D-E-F....
each letter need to load the view layout adding a filter parameter, like that
http://yoursite/index.php?controller=manufacturer&filter=M
2.- Filter Prestashop Controller Data displayed in layout
Open Controller and add that piece of code in "assignAll() function":
SearchString:
...
...
protected function assignAll()
{
if (Configuration::get('PS_DISPLAY_SUPPLIERS'))
{
$data = Manufacturer::getManufacturers(true, $this->context->language->id, true, false, false, false);
$nbProducts = count($data);
$this->pagination($nbProducts);
>>>>> HERE <<<<
foreach ($data as &$item)
$item['image'] = (!file_exists(_PS_MANU_IMG_DIR_.'/'.$item['id_manufacturer'].'-'.ImageType::getFormatedName('medium').'.jpg')) ? $this->context->language->iso_code.'-default' : $item['id_manufacturer'];
$this->context->smarty->assign(array(
...
...
Code:
$filtro = $_GET["filtro"]; //get url parameter
$indic = 0;
if ($filtro<>""){
foreach ($data as &$item){
if ( (substr($item['name'],0,1))<>$filtro){ //compare initial with filter option
unset($data[$indic]); //delete item
}
$indic = $indic + 1;
}
}
$data = array_values($data); //reindex array
3.- Finish
That's all, now when something click on a "letter Char" (with that example), the manufactures list will be filtered as you own need.
Hope that can help someone ;)

How-to hide joomla plugin conditional on some pages
Problem: We need to hide joomla plugin like sharethis social buttons only on some pages, we don't need to show that plugin on simple layout article only on blog types
Solution:
1. Download plugin file from folder: plugins/content/sharethis.php
2. Add a function to read the base url where the plugin is loaded on the start of the file, just after ?php line.
----------
...
function curPageURL() {
$pageURL = 'http';
if ($_SERVER["HTTPS"] == "on") {$pageURL .= "s";}
$pageURL .= "://";
if ($_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] != "80") {
$pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].":".$_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
} else {
$pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
}
return $pageURL;
}
...
----------
3.- Now we need to create a condition for only display the plugin where the url contain string "layout=blog", see url sample:
index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=19&Itemid=12
4.- We end our piece of code adding the condition if we found a substring "layout-blog" inside the base url, see the code in green with our modiifcation on sharethis.php plugin.
----------
...
$url = curPageURL();
if (strpos($url,'layout=blog')) {
/* Return whole button style code with article title and article url values. */
$url = JURI::root().ContentHelperRoute::getArticleRoute($article->id, $article->catid);
return "<DIV style='text-align:".$this->_alignment.";padding-bottom:30px;padding-top:10px'>".$this->showWidget().$this->getWidgetStyle($url,$article->title)."</DIV>";
}
else
{
/* that the code to return to function when the condition is tru on lyout=blog
return "<DIV id='hidden'></DIV>";
}
...
----------
That's all folks ;-)

Add custom field on joomla user registration
Problem:
you need to add a new field on joomla user registration process, like a flag to confirm newsletter subscription
Solution:
This is actually really simple.
open your joomla database in your db manager. I generally do this in "PHPMYADMIN".
From there open the table "jos_users" and then add your additional fields that you require.
Then you go into libraries/joomla/database/table/user.php and declare you variables. So if you added a country field then you declair the varible like so:
var $Country = null;
The next step in the process is editing the actual registration form. This is done by going to components/com_user/views/register/tmpl/default.php.
On some joomla reales there is important to edit diferent files, here is a list of the folder where you can find layouts to edits.
- administrator/components/com_user/views/user/tmpl/
- component/com_user/views/user/tmpl
- components/com_user/views/register/tmpl/ libraries/joomla/database/table/
- template/xxx/html/com_user/register/
- template/xxx/html/com_user/user
