HI i have to extend the core controller in my own module for this i am referencing the below link
http://inchoo.net/tools-frameworks/how-to-extend-magento-core-controller/
below is my module structure
/var/www/magento1.9/app/etc/modules
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!--we need to enable this module as any other if-->
<!--you wish to do it as standalone module extension-->

<?php
require_once Mage::getModuleDir('controllers', 'Mage_Customer').DS.'AccountController.php';
//we need to add this one since Magento wont recognize it automatically
class Inchoo_Coreextended_Frontend_Customer_AccountController extends Mage_Customer_AccountController
{//here, you extended the core controller with our
public function indexAction()
{
parent::indexAction();
//you can always use default functionality
}
public function myactionAction()
{
//my code
//you can write your own methods / actions
}
public function mymethod()
{
//my code
//you can write your own methods
}
public function loginAction()
{
echo "hello";
//finally you can write your code that will rewrite the whole core method
//and you can call for your own methods, as you have full control over core controller
}
}

</config>
but when i am accessing the http://localhost/magento1.9/index.php/customer/account/login/ it shows core login action and it is not switching from my module Can you please suggest where i am doing mistake .
I have fixed this by making changes in following file:
app/etc/modules/Inchoo_Coreextended.xml .
Before:
<config>
<modules>
<Inchoo_Coreextended>
<active>true</active>
<codepool>local</codepool>
</Inchoo_Coreextended>
</modules>
</config>
After:
<config>
<modules>
<Inchoo_Coreextended>
<active>true</active>
<codePool>local</codePool>
</Inchoo_Coreextended>
</modules>
</config>
codepool should be codePool

Hi i am developing a little magento module.

now what i need to install a product attribute through my module
.But i cant understand understand where should i put my installer
script and how to modify config file.
please suggest.
I saw your config.xml i am not able to find xml vesrion.
So you need to give xml version like below example:
<config>
<modules>
<Xyz_Total>
<version>0.1.0</version> <!-- Version of module -->
</Xyz_Total>
</modules>
</config>
Now create the file app/code/local/Xyz/Total/sql/total_setup/mysql4-install-0.1.0.php
After that reinstall the module And check it.
You also have to add below code in config.xml under config tag.
<global>
<resources> <!-- These are resource setting giving access to module, read/write permission on database -->
<total_setup>
<setup>
<module>Xyz_Total</module>
</setup>
<connection>
<use>core_setup</use>
</connection>
</total_setup>
<total_write>
<connection>
<use>core_write</use>
</connection>
</total_write>
<total_read>
<connection>
<use>core_read</use>
</connection>
</total_read>
</resources>
</global>
After that reinstall module.
Take a look # Adding custom product attributes in Magento using setup script
<modules>
<Xyz_Total>
<version>0.1.0</version>
</Xyz_Total>
</modules>
<global>
....
<models>
<xyztotal>
<class>Xyz_Total_Model</class>
<resourceModel>total_setup</resourceModel>
</xyztotal>
</models>
<resources>
<catalog_setup>
<setup>
<module>Mage_Catalog</module>
<class>Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Setup</class><!-- that line !-->
</setup>
</catalog_setup>
</resources>
...
In
app/code/local/Xyz/Total/sql/total_setup/mysql4-install-0.1.0.php
$installer->addAttribute('catalog_product', 'offer_type', array(
'backend' => '',
...
));
I tried creating one new module. For that i created indexController, config.xml, block, layout and other required files, even though i am unable to view the message that i wrote in my block file. Whenever the url is fired (http://mydomain.com/foobar/) the output "it is from foo bar" should be displayed, but at the moment it is not working.
My indexController.php code :
class Foo_Bar_IndexController extends Mage_Core_Controller_Front_Action
{
public function indexAction()
{
$this->loadLayout();
$this->renderLayout();
}
}
Code related to block :
class Foo_Bar_Block_News extends Mage_Core_Block_Template
{
public function _prepareLayout()
{
return parent::_prepareLayout();
}
public function fetchRow()
{
echo "it is from foo bar";
}
}
code related to config.xml :
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
<modules>
<Foo_Bar>
<version>1.0.0</version>
</Foo_Bar>
</modules>
<frontend>
<routers>
<foobar>
<use>standard</use>
<args>
<module>Foo_Bar</module>
<frontName>foobar</frontName>
</args>
</foobar>
</routers>
<layout>
<updates>
<bar>
<file>foobar.xml</file>
</bar>
</updates>
</layout>
<!--<events>
<catalog_product_load_after>
<observers>
<foo_bar>
<type>model</type>
<class>foo_bar/observer</class>
<method>catalogProductLoadAfter</method>
</foo_bar>
</observers>
</catalog_product_load_after>
</events>-->
</frontend>
<global>
<blocks>
<foobar>
<class>Foo_Bar_Block</class>
</foobar>
</blocks>
</global>
</config>
code related to layout.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<layout version="0.1.0">
<default>
<reference name="content">
</reference>
</default>
<foobar_index_index>
<reference name="content">
<block type="foobar/news" name="news_test" template="bar/check.phtml"/>
</reference>
</foobar_index_index>
</layout>
Code related to template file
<?php
echo $this->fetchRow()
?>
Any help realted to this will be appreciated.
The solution to this issue in my case is to Disable the compilation from admin. Everything else is fine. The desired output is obtained after disabling the compilation from admin.
To disable compilation login to admin side of your magento project and then go to system>>Tools>>Compilation and then click on disable button to disable the compilation.
I need to add an attributegroup called Videos in the database using an install script.
these are my files:
app/code/local/Company/ProductVideo/etc/config.xml
<resources>
<attributegroup_setup>
<setup>
<module>Company_ProductVideo</module>
<class>Company_ProductVideo_Model_Entity_Setup</class>
</setup>
</attributegroup_setup>
</resources>
</global>
app/code/local/Company/ProductVideo/Model/Entity/Setup.php
<?php
class Company_ProductVideo_Model_Entity_Setup extends Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Setup{
}
?>
app/code/local/Company/sql/attributegroup_setup/msql4-install-1.7.0.php
<?php
$installer = $this;
$installer->startSetup();
$installer->addAttributeGroup('catalog_product', 'Default','Videos', 40);
$installer->endSetup();
?>
My module is also registered in app/code/etc/modules/Company_ProductVideo.xml
<config>
<modules>
<Company_ProductVideo>
<active>true</active>
<codePool>local</codePool>
</Company_ProductVideo>
</modules>
</config>
But this is not working, any help is welcome!!
I have already solved it, the problem was the name of the folder under the sql folder.
the convention is to name it like this: mysql4-install-'version'.
i am trying to implement an simple observer in my module (app/code/local/Foo/Bar).
My objective is to set the product names to '[product name] is cool' when a product is loaded in the frontend.
These are my files:
app/code/local/Foo/Bar/etc/config.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config>
<global>
<models>
<foo_bar>
<class>Foo_Bar_Model</class>
</foo_bar>
</models>
</global>
<frontend>
<events>
<catalog_product_load_after>
<observers>
<foo_bar>
<type>model</type>
<class>foo_bar/observer</class>
<method>catalogProductLoadAfter</method>
</foo_bar>
</observers>
</catalog_product_load_after>
</events>
</frontend>
</config>
app/code/local/Foo/Bar/Model/Observer.php
<?php
class Foo_Bar_Model_Observer{
public function catalogProductLoadAfter(Varien_Event_Observer $observer)
{
$product = $observer ->getProduct();
$product ->setName($product.getName().' '.'is cool');
}
}
?>
And i have also configured the module in app/etc/modules/Foo_Bar.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config>
<modules>
<Foo_Bar>
<active>true</active>
<codePool>local</codePool>
</Foo_Bar>
</modules>
</config>
But it doenst work, does anyone have any suggestion?
You only need to module name for the model:
<foo_bar>
<type>model</type>
<class>bar/observer</class>
<method>catalogProductLoadAfter</method>
</foo_bar>
you don't need to specify Foo_Bar
also have you an error in your PHP
$product ->setName($product.getName().' '.'is cool');
should be
$product->setName($product->getName().' '.'is cool');
