In case someone will need this, it’s quite simple:
$order = Mage::getModel('sales/order')->load( 1234 );
$shipment = Mage::getModel('sales/service_order', $order)->prepareShipment(array());
$shipment->register();
$shipment->getOrder()->setCustomerNoteNotify(false);
$shipment->getOrder()->setIsInProcess(true);
$transactionSave = Mage::getModel('core/resource_transaction')->addObject($shipment)->addObject($shipment->getOrder())->save();
Preparing such export is quite easy, so let’s begin with adding new button in products listing:
in app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/Block/Catalog/Product.php in _prepareLayout() function add such code:
$this->_addButton('export_fact', array(
'label' => Mage::helper('catalog')->__('FACT-Finder'),
'onclick' => "setLocation('{$this->getUrl('*/*/exportfact')}')",
'class' => 'add'
));
then in app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/controllers/Catalog/ProductController.php add new function:
public function exportfactAction()
{
$productCollection = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->getCollection();
$csv = '"ProductID";"ProductName";"Description";"Price"'."\n";
foreach ($productCollection as $item)
{
$data = $item->getData();
$product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($data['entity_id']);
$csv.= '"'.sprintf("%09d", $product->getId()).'";"'.$product->getName().'";"'. strip_tags($product->getShortDescription() ).'";"'.sprintf("%.2f", $product->getPrice()).'"'."\n";
}
$this->_prepareDownloadResponse('fact.csv', $csv);
}
and thats all. You will get new button with export ability.
Today I had to change Magento default products list sorting to sort by product’s date. In fact we don’t need to sort by date, just by entity_id which is product ID in Magento world. To accomplish this, we need to edit /app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Block/Product/List.php
You have to find _beforeToHtml() function and change some things inside. First we need to define all available sorting options:
$orders = array('entity_id' => $this->__('Newest'), 'name' => $this->__('Name'), 'price' => $this->__('Price') );
then remove all getters of default sorting and order, and put those:
$toolbar->setAvailableOrders($orders);
$toolbar->setDefaultOrder('entity_id');
$toolbar->setDefaultDirection('desc');
so finally your _beforeToHtml() should looks like this one:
protected function _beforeToHtml()
{
$toolbar = $this->getToolbarBlock();
// called prepare sortable parameters
$collection = $this->_getProductCollection();
// use sortable parameters
$orders = array('entity_id' => $this->__('Newest'), 'name' => $this->__('Name'), 'price' => $this->__('Price') );
$toolbar->setAvailableOrders($orders);
$toolbar->setDefaultOrder('entity_id');
$toolbar->setDefaultDirection('desc');
if ($modes = $this->getModes()) {
$toolbar->setModes($modes);
}
// set collection to tollbar and apply sort
$toolbar->setCollection($collection);
$this->setChild('toolbar', $toolbar);
Mage::dispatchEvent('catalog_block_product_list_collection', array(
'collection'=>$this->_getProductCollection(),
));
$this->_getProductCollection()->load();
Mage::getModel('review/review')->appendSummary($this->_getProductCollection());
return parent::_beforeToHtml();
}
Maybe someone will need it, so here we go with code:
echo "<pre>";
$category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category');
$tree = $category->getTreeModel();
$tree->load();
$ids = $tree->getCollection()->getAllIds();
$categories = array();
if ($ids)
{
foreach ($ids as $id)
{
$category->load($id);
$categories[$id]['name'] = $category->getName();
$categories[$id]['path'] = $category->getPath();
}
foreach ($ids as $id)
{
$path = explode('/', $categories[$id]['path']);
$string = '';
foreach ($path as $pathId)
{
$string.= $categories[$pathId]['name'] . ' > ';
$cnt++;
}
$string.= ';' . $id . "\n";
echo $string;
}
}
the snippet above will give you such output:
root category 1 ; 1
root category 1 > subcategory 1 ; 2
root category 1 > subcategory 1 > subsubcategory 1 ; 3
root category 1 > subcategory 1 > subsubcategory 2 ; 4
root category 1 > subcategory 2 ; 5
root category 1 > subcategory 2 > subsubcategory 1 ; 6
