Magento eCommerce 1.3.2.4 :: Hover Rollover Mouse Effect on the Add-to-cat button and info buttons

bryansammon — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 16:43:30 +0000

This was kinda easy, but I didnt know what to do for the longest time. I could not find any info on how to do this.

Here is what I did.

Just add this to your boxes.css file in your skin/frontend/default/[theme]/css folder

/*The background color is the effect I had for mine when I rolled my mouse over the button*/

.form-button:hover, .form-button-alt:hover { background:#cc9900; }

If you want a different background color, change the background: to what ever you want, if you want to add border or whatever, this is where it is done.

Just add that to your css page, if you dont know which one to add it to, then add it to skin/frontend/default/[your theme]/css/boxes.css

–Hope this helps someone else too

Magento eCommerce 1.3.2.4:: Or statement based on variable input on attribute.phtml page – using static block as includes

bryansammon — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 17:25:19 +0000

I used this statement below to get either static block for a variable input on the attributes.phtml page

getData(‘upac_features’)): ?>

getResource()->getAttribute(‘upac_features’)->getFrontend()->getValue($_product); ?>

echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock(‘cms/block’)->setBlockId(‘upac-ipod-no-sirius’)->toHtml()

; }

else {

echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock(‘cms/block’)->setBlockId(‘upac-ipod-sirius’)->toHtml()

; } ?>

Magento eCommerce:: Change the size of the Price (font-size) on various pages like catalog, related, view.phtml

bryansammon — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 02:20:18 +0000

Like I said before I am really a novice at web dev. But I could not find this info anywhere, so here it is. It took me a a little while to figure this out.

Too change the price size on the catalog page:

/* Catalog pricing */

.product-info-box .price { font-weight:bold; font-size:20px; }

Too change the price size, and make text color black on the related products block (on the category page):

/* Related products */

.product-details .price { font-weight:bold; font-size:14px; color:#000000; }

If you want a different font size, change the font-size: to what ever you want, if you want to add color or whever, this is where it is done.

Just add that to your css page, if you dont know which one to add it to, then add it to skin/frontend/default/[your theme]/css/boxes.css

Magento 1.3.2.4 — Add a shipping map to your checkout page (one page checkout)

bryansammon — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 01:09:22 +0000

I wanted to add a UPS shipping map to my checkout page in magento 1.3.2.4.

The file that needs to be edited is: app/frontend/design/default (or other theme) /[Choose your template]/checkout/onepage/shipping_method/available.phtml

This statement below will add whatever html you want to add to the UPS ground line on the checkout page.

getMethodTitle()==’UPS Ground’):?>INSERT YOUR HTML HERE

I wanted this to go on the same line as the UPS Ground and price.

Here is what my code ending up looking like:

From line 35:

getErrorMessage()): ?>

- getErrorMessage() ?>

getCode() ?>” id=”s_method_getCode() ?>”getCode()===$this->getAddressShippingMethod()) echo ‘ checked=”checked”‘ ?> />

getCode() ?>”>getMethodTitle() ?>

getShippingPrice($_rate->getPrice(), $this->helper(‘tax’)->displayShippingPriceIncludingTax()); ?>

getShippingPrice($_rate->getPrice(), true); ?>

helper(‘tax’)->displayShippingBothPrices() && $_incl != $_excl): ?>

(__(‘Incl. Tax’); ?> )

getMethodTitle()==’UPS Ground’):?>DOES this work

I used UPS ground, for my example. But you can put in any method you want from your checkout page. For example, Priority Mail or USPS Next Day Air work too etc..

You will need one of these statements for each method you want to put text by. Add style or class to your span tag to add a custom design to it.

You may need to change out the ” quotes for ones that actually work in html, depending on how this copies.

Hope this helps.

If and else statement on Attributes.phtml

bryansammon — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 03:11:14 +0000

getData(‘title_info’)): ?>

getResource()->getAttribute(‘title_info’)->getFrontend()->getValue($_product); ?>

Videos shown below also may also show operation with the optional HD Radio or Sirius Radio Tuner. If you do not want the HD/Sirius Tuner, you can use the included aux input instead.

getVideoTitleText() ?>

Attribute include based on custom Design – useful tip on attribute.phtml

bryansammon — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 20:12:15 +0000

This will do a include based on the custom design.


getData('custom_design')): ?>
getResource()->getAttribute('custom_design')->getFrontend()->getValue($_product); ?>


echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('cms/block')->setBlockId('static block id1')->toHtml()
; }
else {
echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('cms/block')->setBlockId('static block id2')->toHtml()
; } ?>

Magento eCommerce:: Best advice I could ever give anyone with alot of products

bryansammon — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 04:13:07 +0000

Edit the attributes.phtml file. Set the description separate from the (foreach) statement. This will help a ton.

Magento eCommerce::If and else statement when using static block includes

bryansammon — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 03:54:31 +0000

I did this on the attributes.phtml file:

CompatibleIpods2 ==1){

echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock(‘cms/block’)->setBlockId(‘upac-compatible-ipods-3g’)->toHtml()

; }

else {

echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock(‘cms/block’)->setBlockId(‘upac-compatible-ipods-without-3g’)->toHtml()

; } ?>

Worked nicely. This way I can use one statement if the attribute: CompatibleIpods2 (type: yes/no) was set to yes (1) or no (2)
