Adding related products problem

Today I had a problem when I want to add related product to Magento Professional 1.9.0.0., it did not work. After some tracing thrown errors and comparing files with other Magento versions I found missing part. Magento Professional has missing lines of code in Related.php. So, if someone stuck on the same problem, here is the solution!

To correct this issue, do it in Magento way. So create your new module and rewrite that block. Here is the file where you can find these lines of code:
\app\code\core\Mage\Adminhtml\Block\Catalog\Product\Edit\Tab\Related.php

Adding Magento products to Google Base

Magento made adding products to Google Base (Google Product Search) a pretty simple process that can be done using Magento’s admin interface. This guide will tell you how to do it and how to fix known issues.

First of all, I wanna show you this really nice screencast I found on Vimeo that guides you through the process of adding your Magento products to Google Base, however you will probably have some issues after you follow the screencast since it doesn’t really tell you everything there is to know.

UPDATE (November 2010): “product_type”

Google Base recently started to require a product type attribute. You need to create a new attribute called “Product Type” and map it with Google’s “product_type” attribute. For instructions, have a look further in this blog post how we created the Condition attribute. The process is the same. For the list of supported values for the “Product type” attribute, refer to the table here.

Adding a new tab under one page checkout – full working module

Adding a new tab under onepage checkout in Magento might seem as incredibly easy task. right?! Well, it’s not. If you want to do it properly, you gonna have to do some work. Took me few hours to get this one running. Attached are screenshots for you to see final result.

Frontend

Backend1

Here is the module itself Inchoo_Heared4us.

Few words about module. It uses built in Admin theme module from a coworker Ivan Weiler. If you have this Admin theme module installer already please disable it, since its built into this Heared4us module. There is only one thing you NEED TO DO in order for module to work: Once you added it to Magento, go to System > COnfiguration > Design and write down “custom” under Admin theme section. This admin theme section will appear as soon as you refresh Admin page once you copy-pasted module. If you get “Access denie” error, please logout and login into the admin.

As anything in Magento adding a new language is something that requires a certain procedure which we will explain right now and for future reference.

Follow these easy steps and enjoy your multilingual site:

  • 1. Download the desired translation thru magento connect via admin.
  • 2. Once installed Go to: System -> Manage Stores -> Create store view. Enter the data and save.
  • 3. Now go to: Configuration -> Current Configuration Scope (Select your language from the dropdown) and on the right side under “Locale options” choose the desired language.

Note: Be sure to clear the cache before trying to use your new language.

That’s it, now when you go to the frontend of the site, you’ll notice a dropdown menu allowing the language switching.

Did you clear the cache?
