Get all products from a particular category id in magento

My category id is

<?php $catid=10 ;?> 

I got all product by writing the below code

<?php 

$category = new Mage_Catalog_Model_Category();

$category->load($catid); //My cat id is 10

$prodCollection = $category->getProductCollection();

foreach ($prodCollection as $product) {

$prdIds[] = $product->getId(); ///Store all th eproduct id in $prdIds array

}?>

Now you have all the product ids in $prdIds variable. Just click here to get all details of the product from a particular product id.You can get individual product id by the following loop.

<?php 

foreach($prdIds as $_prdIds){

$product_id = $_prdIds;

$obj = Mage::getModel('catalog/product');

$_product = $obj->load($product_id); // Enter your Product Id in $product_id

// get Product's name

echo $_product->getName();

//get product's short description

echo $_product->getShortDescription();

//get Product's Long Description

echo $_product->getDescription();

//get Product's Regular Price

echo $_product->getPrice();

//get Product's Special price

echo $_product->getSpecialPrice();

//get Product's Url

echo $_product->getProductUrl();

//get Product's image Url

echo $_product->getImageUrl();

}

?>

Get controller, module, action and router name in Magento

/**
 * get Controller name
 */
$this->getRequest()->getControllerName();

/**
 * get Action name, i.e. the function inside the controller
 */
$this->getRequest()->getActionName();

/**
 * get Router name
 */
$this->getRequest()->getRouteName();

/**
 * get module name
 */
$this->getRequest()->getModuleName();

IN CLASS FILES
$this might not work in class (php) files. In this case, you need to use Mage::app().

Here is the code:

/**
 * get Controller name
 */
Mage::app()->getRequest()->getControllerName();

/**
 * get Action name, i.e. the function inside the controller
 */
Mage::app()->getRequest()->getActionName();

/**
 * get Router name
 */
Mage::app()->getRequest()->getRouteName();


/**
 * get module name
 */
Mage::app()->getRequest()->getModuleName();
The above functions (getControllerName, getActionName, getRouteName, getModuleName) are present in the class Mage_Core_Model_Url.

You can explore all requests with print_r.

echo "<pre>";
    print_r(Mage::app()->getRequest());
echo "</pre>";

in your local directory as

'app\code\local\Mage\Adminhtml\Block\Newsletter\Queue\Grid\Renderer \Action.php'

just copy and paste that file in this directory.

Now add the following code in line number 77 before this code $this->getColumn()->setActions($actions);

$actions[] = array(

Add "New" product filter option in Product listing Magento

For this open the file Mage_Catalog_Model_Config and we need to make changes to the function getAttributeUsedForSortByArray().


public function getAttributeUsedForSortByArray()
   {
       $options = array(
           'position'  => Mage::helper('catalog')->__('Position'),
           'created_at'  => Mage::helper('catalog')->__('New')
       );
       foreach ($this->getAttributesUsedForSortBy() as $attribute) {
           /* @var $attribute Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Attribute_Abstract */
           $options[$attribute->getAttributeCode()] = $attribute->getStoreLabel();
       }

       return $options;
   }

This will sort the product by it's created date.

You need to override this class to make the changes. For that you need to do following.
In your Module etc/config.xml you need to add following code.


<models>
            <catalog>
                <rewrite>
                    <config>Company_Test_Model_Config</config>
                </rewrite>
            </catalog>
</models>

and in your Model/Config.php


<?php
class Company_Test_Model_Config extends Mage_Catalog_Model_Config
{
   public function getAttributeUsedForSortByArray()
    {
        $options = array(
           'position'  => Mage::helper('catalog')->__('Position'),
           'created_at'  => Mage::helper('catalog')->__('New')
       );
       foreach ($this->getAttributesUsedForSortBy() as $attribute) {
           /* @var $attribute Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Attribute_Abstract */
           $options[$attribute->getAttributeCode()] = $attribute->getStoreLabel();
       }

       return $options;
    }
}
