How to Create Custom Magento Module Log

Wrapping it up in a class:

class Nick_Module_Model_Log {
  protected $_adapter;

  public __construct() {
    $this->_adapter = Mage::getModel('core/log_adapter', 'my_module.log');
  }

  // It's public incase we want to use ->debug(), ->info(), and friends
  public function getAdapter() {
    return $this->_adapter;
  }

  public function log($message) {
    $this->getAdapter()->log($message);
  }

}
Set up your own log adapter with:

$my_log = Mage::getModel('core/log_adapter', 'my_module.log');

and log away!

$my_log = Mage::getSingleton('nick/log');
$my_log->log("Logging away!");

How to add custom field/attribute in magento category?

Add custom Field/attribute to category using script in magento
$setup = new Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Setup(‘core_setup’);
// below code will add text attribute
$setup->addAttribute(‘catalog_category’, ‘attribute_code’, array(
‘group’         => ‘General’,
‘input’         => ‘text’,
‘type’          => ‘varchar’,
‘label’         => ‘Attribute label’,
‘backend’       => ”,
‘visible’       => 1,
‘required’      => 0,
‘user_defined’ => 1,
‘global’        => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_GLOBAL,
));

// below code will add yes/no attribute

$setup->addAttribute(‘catalog_category’, ‘attribute_code’,  array(
‘type’     => ‘int’,
‘label’    => ‘Attribute label’,
‘input’    => ‘select’,
‘source’   => ‘eav/entity_attribute_source_boolean’,
‘global’   => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_STORE,
‘required’ => false,
‘default’  => 1,
‘user_defined’  => 1,
‘default’  => 0
));

// below code will use to add image attribute

$setup->addAttribute(‘catalog_category’, ‘attribute_code’,  array(
‘group’         => ‘General’,
‘type’     => ‘varchar’,
‘label’    => ‘Attribute Label’,
‘input’    => ‘image’,
‘source’   => ‘eav/entity_attribute_source_boolean’,
‘global’        => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_GLOBAL,
‘required’ => false,
‘backend’ => ‘catalog/category_attribute_backend_image’,
‘frontend_input’ =>”,
‘default’  => 1,
‘visible’       => 1,
‘user_defined’  => 1,
));

 

‘attribute_code’ will be replace with your own attribute code and same way ‘Attribute Label’ will be replace with attribute label.

Once you execute above script, it will automatically creates attribute.

client denied by server configuration: app/etc/local.xml

client denied by server configuration: PROJECT_DIR/app/etc/local.xml

It seems that magento is testing to see if the file can be accessed each time a page is loaded and alerts 
you to the fact that this file contains your MySQL database password is readable. 

So it is correct but seems odd that every page should check this filling the log with error messages 
instead of just doing it once at the login page.

To resolve the above error not shown in error_log at cpanel

To get rid of this security check, do not attempt to hack the Magento core (as some forum threads have
 suggested in the past). Instead, you can just modify the admin-theme to remove this check. 
Open up the following file or create it if it does not exist:
"app/design/adminhtml/default/default/layout/local.xml"

Add below code in local.xml of adminhtml/layout

<layout>
 <default>
 <remove name="notification_security" />
 <remove name="notification_survey" />
 </default>
</layout> 

This removes the blocks notification_security and notification_survey from the backend-pages entirely, 
skipping therefor the security check. No core hacks involved.

‘Mage not defined’ error in magento

js error Mage.Cookies.path var Mage not defined

To resolve this issues you need to be sure that in head.phtml (app/design/frontend/default/default/template/page/html/head.phtml ) you have
getChildHtml() ?> after getCssJsHtml() ?>.
So it should look like:
getCssJsHtml() ?>
getChildHtml() ?>

To resolve ” Maximum length of attribute code must be less then 30 symbols” error in magento 1.6 above version

Hello,

I found error ” Maximum length of attribute code must be less then 30 symbols” in magento 1.6 above version. To resolve this error, you simply change the constant value from 30 to 60.


your-project/app/code/core/Mage/Eav/Model/Entity/Attribute.php
CONST ATTRIBUTE_CODE_MAX_LENGTH = 30;


I put the CONST ATTRIBUTE_CODE_MAX_LENGTH = 30; to 60, it resolved my problem.

Hope this post is helpful to you all..
