Some Important Linux command for Newbies

By:Zakir Hayder Date: January 20th, 2012

My first experience with Linux started when i setup a server for one my client. It was monumental task for me at that time. I was a happy mouse driven windows user. When I came to the world of putty I was lost. So I had to search for certain commands. I recently Setup LAMP With Ubuntu In 10 Minutes. One of my colleague tried to setup LAMP following that post. He was also a happy mouse driven windows user So he was having problem with commands. In this post I am showing all the commands I needed and used to use Linux server. I will post all the problems i faced using LAMP in next post.

Get sub categories and product count in magento

By:Md. Benzir Hasan Date: January 17th, 2012

Happy Tuesday Folks !

By the following code you will be getting subcategories and all products (product count) form the parent category.

First you have got to insert the Parent ID and then the code below will display you subcategories in it and all products (product count) from the sub categories.

<?php
  /* How will get sub categories and products from parent category in magento?*/

    $parentId = 2; // Put parent category Id here
    $cat = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($parentId);
    $subcatcollection = $cat->getChildren(); // Sub categories id with string
    $subcatcollection = explode(",",$subcatcollection);// Will return all sub categories

    foreach($subcatcollection as $singlecat): // Find sigle subcategory form loop
        $fcat = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($singlecat); //Single category information

        if($fcat->getIsActive()): // Check Category is Active
            $_proCollection = Mage::getResourceModel('catalog/product_collection')
                             ->addCategoryFilter($fcat)
                             ->setOrder('name', 'ASC'); //Sort by Product Name

            $_collectionSize = count($_proCollection); //Will return number of products category.
    ?>
    	    <a href="<?php echo $this->getUrl().$fcat->getUrl_path(); ?>" title="<?php echo $fcat->getName(); ?>">
               <?php echo $fcat->getName(); ?>
            </a><!-- Show Categoy Name & Url. -->

            <?php
            foreach ($_proCollection AS $ffproduct):
               $cur_fproduct = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($ffproduct->getId());
               //product all information.
               if($cur_fproduct->getVisibility()!=1):
            ?>
                <a href="<?php echo $this->getUrl().$cur_fproduct->getUrl_path(); ?>">
                  <?php echo $cur_fproduct->getName(); ?>
                 </a> <!-- Show Product Name & Url. -->
          <?php
               endif;
             endforeach;
          ?>

      <?php endif; ?>
    <?php endforeach; ?>
