Magento get current url with and without parameters

You can get the current page URL and it’s parameters (if any) by using getCurrentUrl() method in Magento. Below code will show you how to use it. Consider for example you have this url:

http://loca.lho.st/review/product/list/id/27/name/sony

To get this (current) URL in your module:

$currentUrl = $this->helper('core/url')->getCurrentUrl();
//Gives: http://loca.lho.st/review/product/list/id/27/name/sony

To get current URL parameters:

$params = $this->getRequest()->getParams(); //all the parameters
//Gives: Array ( [id] => 27 [name] => sony )
$param = $this->getRequest()->getParam('name'); //parameter "name"
//Gives: sony

To get only URL without parameters:

$request = $this->getRequest();
$urlWithoutParameters = $this->getBaseUrl() . $request->getRouteName() .DS. $request->getControllerName() .DS. $request->getActionName();
//Gives: http://loca.lho.st/review/product/list

First way,

$catCollection = $_product->getCategoryCollection();
foreach($catCollection as $cat){
  print_r($cat->getData());
  //echo $cat->getName();
  //echo $cat->getUrl();
}

Magento redirect from observer

Redirection in observer doesn’t work normally as it do in Blocks, templates and controllers. Also there is no standard code to redirect from observer that works in every situation.

You will need an argument to achieve redirect when using below code:

public function observingMethod(Varien_Event_Observer $observer)
{
    $observer->getRequest()->setParam('return_url',$urlToRedirect);
}

Note that $observer object should have getRequest() method to make above code work. You may need to use $observer->getEvent()->getFront()->getRequest() otherwise, or simply var_dump/Mage::log $observer to get better idea what methods the object have.

Or you can use below code which is not recommended: Continue reading »

Magento products not showing in categories

If your Magento products are not showing up in frontend category pages, that can be because one or more of the below points are not done correctly.

The products must have following set correctly to appear in the category pages in frontend. You can check all the below things in Manage Products screen of any individual product.
– Status must be Enabled (under General tab)
– Visiblility should be Catalog OR Catalog, Search (under General tab)
– Stock Qty (quantity) should be greater than Qty for Item’s Status to Become Out of Stock (under Inventory tab)
– Stock Availability must be IN STOCK
– Category should be assigned (under Categories tab)
– Website must be assigned (under Websites tab)

Clear the cache, re-index the indexes related to product (Product prices, Product flat data and Category products) and everything should work as expected.

This post is written to address the following issue:
magento products not displaying in categories
magento products not showing in categories
magento items not showing in categories
magento products not showing up in categories
magento products not showing under categories
magento products not displaying on category page
magento product images not showing in category
magento configurable product not showing in category
magento new product not showing in category

If you are unable to see Product Images in frontend category pages, check this blog post to resolve it: http://ka.lpe.sh/2013/02/26/magento-cant-see-product-images-in-category-page/
