TESTED Magento 1.4.0, 1.3.0

New link at bottom block Magento
Adding new link at bottom block.
The correct way to do this is to open the theme/layout/customer.xml file and then modify the section that shows customer links on all pages, to include a link in the home page and also a link to other customer service pages that you have deemed necessary, e.g. ‘returns’ (if you get a lot of those inquiries…).
But if you are writing in the extension you can also add code in the default section of your layout xml file, example:
<default>
<reference name="top.links">
<action method="addLink" translate="label title"
module="[your_module]"><label>[Your Label]</label><url>
[your_url]</url><title>[Your Title]</title>
<prepare>true</prepare><urlParams/>
<position>[position]</position>
</action>
</reference>
</default>
Instead of url in the xml file you can use the helper function which returns url, but then you should set the prepare to false:
<default>
<reference name="top.links">
<action method="addLink" translate="label title"
module="[your_module]"><label>[Your Label]</label>
<url helper=[your_helper] /><title>[Your Title]</title>
<prepare/><urlParams/>
<position>[position]</position>
</action>
</reference>
</default>
If the new item is first (or last), you can use css to change its style in style.css file .access .links li.first a or .access .links li.last a
Hello World Magento
Create hello world extension for magento.
All process could be diveded on six steps:
1. Create xml file for activate extension:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
<modules>
<Someextension_Helloworld>
<active>true</active>
<codePool>local</codePool>
</Someextension_Helloworld>
</modules>
</config>
Save file at: /app/etc/modules/Someextension_Helloworld.xml
2. Create xml – configuration file for extension:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
<modules>
<Someextension_Helloworld>
<version>0.1.0</version>
</Someextension_Helloworld>
</modules>
<frontend>
<routers>
<someextension_helloworld>
<use>standard</use>
<args>
<module>Someextension_Helloworld</module>
<frontName>someextension-helloworld</frontName>
</args>
</someextension_helloworld>
</routers>
<layout>
<updates>
<someextension_helloworld>
<file>helloworld.xml</file>
</someextension_helloworld>
</updates>
</layout>
</frontend>
<global>
<blocks>
<someextension_helloworld>
<class>Someextension_Helloworld_Block</class>
</someextension_helloworld>
</blocks>
</global>
</config>
Save file at: app/code/local/Someextension/Helloworld/etc/config.xml
In this file we define routers, configuration file for layout updates and class for Block files.
3. Create controller file:
<?php
class Someextension_Helloworld_IndexController
extends Mage_Core_Controller_Front_Action
{
public function indexAction()
{
//here could be code
//show layout
$this->loadLayout();
$this->renderLayout();
}
}
?>
Save file at: app/code/local/Someextension/Helloworld/controllers/IndexController.php
Actually, after this, we could see that extension is working http://www.yourdomain.com/index.php/someextension-helloworld, but its empty page. For complete extension we should create xml-configuration file for layout and template;
4. Create xml-configuration file for layout:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout version="0.1.0">
<someextension_helloworld_index_index>
<reference name="root">
<action method="setTemplate">
<template>page/1column.phtml</template>
</action>
</reference>
<reference name="content">
<block type="someextension_helloworld/hello"
template="helloworld/index.phtml" />
</reference>
</someextension_helloworld_index_index>
</layout>
Save file at: app/design/frontend/default/default/layout/helloworld.xml
In this file we define “Block” file for template (Hello.php) and template which showed.
5. Create template:
As we code in previos file that template for layout is index.phtml, create it:
Save file at:app/design/frontend/default/default/template/helloworld/index.phtml
6. Create Block file to activate viewing template:
class Someextension_Helloworld_Block_Hello
extends Mage_Core_Block_Template
{
protected function _prepareLayout()
{
parent::_prepareLayout();
}
}
Save file at: app/code/local/Someextension/Helloworld/Block/Hello.php
That’s all.
Important: DO NOT FORGET DISABLE CACHE Admin->System->Cache Management
