If there no adequate directory permissions for webserver user (apache/httpd/) to write in to directory, we often receive below error:
fopen(test.txt): failed to open stream: Permission denied
Thie error can be resolved as provided below:
Assuming the provided file locaiton is:/var/www/html/ and webserver running as user:apache. This can be identified by using command:
ps aux | egrep '(apache|httpd)'
Provide recursive directory ownership to the user:
chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/
Provide recursive write permission to the location (777 is not required in all cases):
chmod -R 777 /var/www/html/
If SELinux ACL control enabled, run below command to allow file writing:
chcon -R -h -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t /var/www/html/
Sample code for checking file permissions:
echo 'User ID'.getmyuid().': User group id'.getmygid();
echo "
Webs erver Username";
echo exec('whoami');
echo "
";
$Flocation = '/var/www/html/test.txt';
echo $Flocation, file_exists($Flocation) ? ' File exists' : ' File not exists
', "
\n";
echo $Flocation, is_readable($Flocation) ? ' File is readable' : 'NOT READABLE', "
\n";
echo $Flocation, is_writable($Flocation) ? ' File is writable' : ' NOT WRITABLE
', "
\n";
$myFile = fopen($Flocation, 'w');
if ( !$myFile ) {
echo 'Error Message:';
var_dump(error_get_last());

It is time for next generation transportation facilities. Elom musk had a revolutionary idea in this direction and now few companies are trying to make this dream to reality; see more here:https://www.livescience.com/61847-virgin-hyperloop-dubai-to-abu-dhabi.html
Emails from Magento admin panel uses the admin theme for sending emails. But, we can set it to use front end theme for custom emails by setting ‘setDesignConfig’ method for email model as shown below:
$mail = Mage::getModel('core/email_template');
$translate = Mage::getSingleton('core/translate');
$storeId = 1; // Use front end store ID
$fromName = Mage::getStoreConfig('trans_email/ident_general/name');
$fromEmail = Mage::getStoreConfig('trans_email/ident_general/email');
$senderArr = Array('email' => $fromEmail, 'name' =>$fromName );
$ccEmail = 'CC EMAIL – IF ANY';
$mail->getMail()->addCc($ccEmail);
$toEmail = 'test@test.com';
$toName = 'TO NAME';
$templateId = 'ID OF THE TEMPLATE TO BE USED';
$mail->setDesignConfig(array('area'=>'frontend', 'store'=>$storeId));
$mail->sendTransactional($templateId, $senderArr, $toEmail,$toName,$templateVars,$storeId);
$translate->setTranslateInline(true);
Below script can be used to fetcht the details of associated simples of a configurable product, it’s options and other related data.
$configID = '34'; /* ID of the configurable product */
$product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($configID); /* Load product by id*/
if ($product->type_id == 'configurable') { /* Check product type is configurable*/
$options = array();
// Get any super_attribute settings we need
$productAttributesOptions = $product->getTypeInstance(true)->getConfigurableOptions($product);
foreach ($productAttributesOptions as $productAttributeOption) {
foreach ($productAttributeOption as $optionValues) {
$attrCode = $optionValues['attribute_code'];
$attributeId = Mage::getResourceModel('eav/entity_attribute')->getIdByCode('catalog_product', $attrCode);
$associatedProduct = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->loadByAttribute('sku',$optionValues['sku']);
$stockStatus = Mage::getModel('cataloginventory/stock_item')
->loadByProduct($associatedProduct)
->getIsInStock(); /* Get product stock status for associated product */
$saleable = $associatedProduct->isSaleable();
$attribute_value = $product->getResource()->getAttribute($attrCode)->getValue($associatedProduct);
if(empty($pricingValue)) $pricingValue = 0;
$options[$attrCode][] = array (
'attribute_id' => $attributeId,
'option_id' => $optionValues['option_id'],
'option_title' => $optionValues['option_title'],
'pricing_value' => $optionValues['pricing_value'],
'pricing_is_percent' => $optionValues['pricing_is_percent'],
'simple_id' => $associatedProduct->getId(),
'saleable' => $saleable,
'stock_status' => $stockStatus
);
}
}}
var_dump($options); /* List all associated options along with simple product details */
Magento message or text translation for a custom theme can be easily done by creating a custom CSV file. This is applicable for both Magento core texts as well as custom texts. It can be done as:
1. Create custom locale directory; such as for French language:
[Your theme location]/locale/fr_FR
2.Create custom CSV file with mapping of the translated text whichever you want. Like:
“My Cart”, “My Bag”
“Custom Message”,”Custome Message in French!”
this CSV file should be saved in the above directory as: translate.csv
Please make sure the file is UTF-8 encoded.
3.Set the translation theme location from admin panel:
System > Configuration > Themes > Translations
4. Done! You can call the translated texts just like: echo $this->__(“Custom Message”);
Add ajax parameter along with the page request (http://pageurl?ajax=true).Modify the controller: Mage_Catalog_ProductController by overriding it in to ‘local’ directory. Under ‘public function viewAction()’, add below code which will out put a JSON array with output HTML content along with any other relvent data as JSON content:
public function viewAction(){
$ajax = Mage::app()->getRequest()->getParam('ajax');
if($ajax == 'true'){
$productId = (int) Mage::app()->getRequest()->getParam('id');
$prodModel = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($productId);
$layout = Mage::app()->getLayout();
$output = $layout->getOutput();
$block = Mage::app()->getLayout()->createBlock('catalog/product_view_type_configurable');/*or any other block which is applicable here */
$block->setProduct($prodModel);
$prodConfig = json_decode($block->getJsonConfig());
$result = array( 'outputHtml' => $output, 'produtId'=>$productId,'prodConfig' => $prodConfig );
echo json_encode($result); exit;
}
}
Below is the script for creating an order in Magento programatically. Assuming the whole input provided in JSON format. The parameters included are:
products
1 configurable product with a ‘super attribute’ along with attribute value and two simple products
customer email; there will be a customer account associated with the order if a customer exists with the provided email.
shipping_method
provided Flatrate shipping method.
payment_method
provided as Check/Money order.
billing_addr
Region country IDs should be the same as provided in Magento.
shipping_addr
Region country IDs should be the same as provided in Magento.

By default Magento does not allow to create website/store wise list of email subscribers.Here, is a module to store email subscribers list along with website,store and custom region attribute. This data are stored in a custom database table; this module includes front end form and admin view of the emails list along with CSV export. Please note that this custom list is not linked with Magento default news letter functionality; so, additional coding needs to be done to send emails using this list.
Follow below steps:
1)Create file:
app/etc/Mynamespace_Newssubscription.xml
<config>
<modules>
<Mynamespace_Newssubscription>
<codePool>local</codePool>
<active>true</active>
</Mynamespace_Newssubscription>
