Background: Added some new columns in oc_product_description (I added some key product features and alternative name for ebay listing, so I can generate the product data into a template to use on ebay listings, whilst keeping and using the code on the opencart website..)
Problem: that when I save the product in opencart it deletes the data I just entered into the table, because it uses a Delete and then Insert function (by the looks of it?) in admin/model/catalog/product.php approx line 140. Which uses the $data['product_descriptions'] array which comes about in admin/controller/catalog/product.php approx line 765.. but here there are 3 possibilities.. either from the post or from a get function, or a new array..
I added hidden fields to the admin/view/catalog/product_form.php but what's going on here doesn't make it through to the table in the end..
I also added the new fields to the getProductDescriptions() function and directly to the $data array just as the other fields were already..
Please don't send me off to look up MVC models..Please help!!!
The problem was: that I had used the wrong name and value in the hidden fields..I obviously wasn't giving it much thought when I merely wrote:
<input type="hidden" name="name_ebay" value="<?php echo $entry_name_ebay; ?>">
In actual fact what was required was:
<input type="hidden" name="product_description[<?php echo $language['language_id']; ?>][name_ebay]" value="<?php echo isset($product_description[$language['language_id']]) ? $product_description[$language['language_id']]['name_ebay'] : ''; ?>">
I hope this post has offered some reminders or hints concerning Adding Your Own Fields to Opencart's Product Description Table, and using them in the admin
Take note mostly of:
i) use of language id in the view
ii) the delete, insert (instead of update) in model
iii) the change from post to $data array in controller
Furthermore, I did notice that the delete line,
$this->db->query("DELETE FROM " . DB_PREFIX . "product_description WHERE product_id = '" . (int)$product_id . "'");
Seems to delete the record with this product id?? but without regard to language id?.. I'll have to look into whether this deletes the translated versions on a multi-lingual site of the products in the product_description table..?

I am looping some specific products on the home page but unable to generate the ADD TO CART URL in magento 2
How to generate ADD TO CART URL when displaying products in loop.
I know it's been a year since this has been touched on, but as I've just done what has been requested, I thought that I may post my solution to help others.
The other answers will work, but only for simple products, where no further input is required (e.g. selecting options). When using getAddToCartUrl(), Magento first checks if the products requires any options to be selected; if it does, then it will simply supply the URL to the product page instead.
To skip all of these checks and directly obtain the add to cart URL, then make use of the Magento\Checkout\Helper\Cart helper instead. If you are within a .phtml file, then this can be utilised simply by calling $this->helper:
$cartHelper = $this->helper('Magento\Checkout\Helper\Cart');
From there, you can generate the add to cart URL via getAddUrl(), ensuring you pass the product object as the parameter:
echo $cartHelper->getAddUrl($product)
For it to fully work, you must have a hidden field for the form key as described in the other answers, and if the product in question has compulsory options to choose from (e.g. a configurable product), then make sure you include those fields as well, otherwise you will get redirected to the product page itself, with a message informing the user that options are required.
The excellent solution is to use
$cartHelper = $this->helper('Magento\Checkout\Helper\Cart');
and after that
echo $cartHelper->getAddUrl($product);
this give add to cart URL every time
(for a simple product, for a simple product with custom options etc)
use following to generate add to cart URL in magento2:
$objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();
$listBlock = $objectManager->get('\Magento\Catalog\Block\Product\ListProduct');
$addToCartUrl = $listBlock->getAddToCartUrl($product);
Add your button code into form with form key.. It will work
$objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();
$listBlock = $objectManager->get('\Magento\Catalog\Block\Product\ListProduct');
$addToCartUrl = $listBlock->getAddToCartUrl($product);
<form data-role="tocart-form" action="<?php echo $addToCartUrl; ?>" method="post">
<?php echo $block->getBlockHtml('formkey')?>
<button type="submit"
title="Add to Cart"
class="action tocart primary">
<span>Add to Cart</span>
</button>
</form>
You can generate "add to cart" url by following code:
$objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();
$listBlock = $objectManager->get('\Magento\Catalog\Block\Product\ListProduct');
$addToCartUrl = $listBlock->getAddToCartUrl($_product);
I am trying to create a form element text with value in moodle.
I trying the below :
$mform->addElement('text','test', get_string('test'));
This is used to create a text box . i want to add value also like
<input type='text' value='<?php .... ?>' />
How to do that in moodle
When you instantiate the form, you can pass the relevant data into it, e.g.
$form = new my_form();
$formdata = (object)array('test' => 'The value to display in the textbox');
$form->set_data($formdata);
(Usually the data passed into the form is some existing data retrieved from the database).
I'm not sure what kind of data did you mean here.
If you want to set user data (for example, you are developing a form that edits existing record), then use $form->set_data() after creating a form instance as Davo suggested.
If you want to pre-fill the form with default value, then use this inside the form definition:
$mform->addElement('text','test', get_string('test'));
$mform->setDefault('test', 'your default value');
You can use both methods, in which case the data from set_data() will have priority.
What I have is a form website page that will automatically fill out the required form with the information entered from the form website page. What I am trying to figure out is if #session.checkout.info.firstname_2# does not exist how do you skip it and not make the form worry about it?
So there are two fields one for owner and the other for co-owner, if there is only one owner the page is not opening the form because its looking for something to be entered as firstname_2 but if both owner and co-owner are entered it works fine because all fields are then entered. Does anyone know how I can make it only worry about the fields that have been submitted from the first form and ignore the sessions that have not yet been entered?
<cfif len(#session.checkout.info.firstname_2#)>
<cfpdfformparam
name="co-owner name"
value="#session.checkout.info.firstname_2# #session.checkout.info.middlename_2# #session.checkout.info.lastname_2#">
</cfif>
You can use isDefined to check that the variable does not exist.
<cfif isDefined("session.checkout.info.firstname_2")>
<cfpdfformparam
name="co-owner name"
value="#session.checkout.info.firstname_2# #session.checkout.info.middlename_2# #session.checkout.info.lastname_2#">
</cfif>
If you also need to check length you can combine the above if with what you've written.
Generally it's a better practice to use structKeyExists() but when there are multiple item that may not exist it can be cumbersome, i.e. structKeyExists(session, 'checkout') && structKeyExists(session.checkout, 'info') && structKeyExists(session.checkout.info, 'firstname_2')
I've been developing this application for use in my biology lab where I require the following:
User adds in data into a text field.
When the user wants to update the text field, s/he cannot update the existing text, and can only append new text to the field.
Therefore, the form must contain a blank text field that the user can input text to append to the existing entry.
Ideally, I'd also like to append the timestamp for when each entry is recorded.
As you can see, it's sort of like a lab notebook, where the integrity of previously-entered data is important.
I'm having trouble with 2nd point, in that I don't know how to create a blank text field that saves the data to the corresponding field in the model.
Here is the code I currently have for the "view":
(I've tried to hide the existing data - "results_summary" - in a "hidden" element.)
<!-- File: /app/View/Experiments/update.ctp -->
<h1>Update Experiment</h1>
<h2>Objective:</h2>
<p><?php echo $experiment['Experiment']['objective']?></p>
<p>Notebook <?php echo $experiment['Experiment']['notebook_number'] ?>, Page <?php echo $experiment['Experiment']['notebook_page'] ?> </p>
<p>Date Started: <?php echo $experiment['Experiment']['date_started']?></p>
<p>Date Ended: <?php echo $experiment['Experiment']['date_ended']?></p>
<p>Project: <?php echo $experiment['Project']['title']?>
<p>Status: <?php echo $experiment['ExperimentStatus']['title']?>
<p>Results Summary:</p>
<p><?php echo $this->Form->create('Experiment', array('action' => 'update'));
echo $this->Form->hidden('results_summary');
echo $this->Form->text('results_summary');
echo $this->Form->end('Update');
//$experiment['Experiment']['results_summary']?></p>
Does anybody have clues as to how I could go about solving this problem? I'm quite lost right now, as I haven't had the experience coding this before.
Based on requirements 3 and 4, I would model the database in a way that each summary entry is stored in a separate row. You'll need a separate table for that, something like this:
id | experiment_id | summary_entry | summary_entry_timestamp
Column experiment_id is a foreign key to the related id on experiments table. Tables/models are related so that Experiment hasMany ExperimentSummaryEntry.
Then, logging to the experiment results summary will be a matter of inserting a new row on that table.
I would have to agree with #bfavaretto
Without seeing your database structure it is hard to be sure.
I suspect that you are doing
Project hasMany Experiment
Experiment hasOne ExperimentStatus
You need an additional
Experiment hasMany ExperimentEntry
the entries table need to have
id int(11), experiment_id int (11), content TEXT, created DATETIME
if you are okay using DATETIME field for timestamp then I suggest using **created because cakephp will auto fill in for you.
instead of update experiment, you do a add experimententry.
in the afterSave method of ExperimentEntry you do a
$this->Experiment->id = $this->data['ExperimentEntry']['experiment_id'];
$latestSummary = $this->Experiment->field('result_summary');
$latestSummary .= $this->data['ExperimentEntry']['content']; // you may need to add a newline before you append. up to you
$this->Experiment->save(array(
'Experiment' => array(
'result_summary' => $latestSummary
)));
Code is not tested so use at own risk.
** no corresponding page in cakephp 2.0 docs for created and modified but definitely this works. I have tried it before.
I have a category structure like this:
cat1
cat2
-catA
-catB
cat3
For a list of entries Im showing the category names for each one with this:
{categories show_group=“1”}{category_name}{/categories}
How can I limit the category names to only show the last in the tree when there is more than one? EG if an entry is part of ‘cat2’ and also ‘catA’, I only want ‘catA’ to display.
Thanks
Update - Ive tried the following but total_results returns the number of entries, not the number of categories for each entry.
{exp:channel:entries channel="news|blog" category="<?php echo $cat_id ?>" orderby="date" sort="desc" disable="member_data|pagination" dynamic="no"}
{categories show_group="1"}{if count == total_results}{category_name}{/if}{/categories}
{/exp:channel:entries}
The efficient way would be to write a SQL query to get exactly the value you want. The inefficient but easy way would be to hide all results except the last one.
{!-- requires PHP parsed on output --}
<?php $lastCat = ""; ?>
{categories}
<?php $lastCat = "{category_name}"; ?>
{/categories}
<?php echo $lastCat; ?>
It turns out {count} and {total_results} aren't supported within the {categories} tag pair. You can use PHP to substitute.
Whether inefficient is good enough depends on how many categories you have and how effective caching the page will be.
