An insider list of the best places to visit, eat, and play
This Stack Overflow post about some weird differences between direct instantionation of an Array vs. using the new Array constructor function is a great example of why coding standards can be more than just window dressing. It’s not that one of the methods is better than the other, but by chosing one over the other you avoid the mental overhead of accounting for inconsistant behavior in whatever language you’re using.
In this blog post, I would like to share a pretty interesting and not obvious solution on how to join some additional details to cart item block on checkout cart page.
Let’s say we need to add the “Brand” custom product attribute and show its value within a specific block on the product view page and checkout cart page. It’s very simple in the scope of the product page, but how to deal with number cart items on checkout cart page. There are a couple of issues which you may face with. We will cover them further.
Product View PageIf the default product information tab containing the list of visible product attributes is not enough, and you need to use some custom block with its own structure, in some specific place – you can simply retrieve the product from the registry and get the needed attribute value:
/** @var \Magento\Catalog\Model\Product $product */ $product = $this->registry->registry('product'); $brand = $product->…
Given the date on the Stack Overflow post that saved me this is probably old hat for most of you, but it looks like the MySQL configuration provided by Ubuntu 18’s default apt-get repositories defaults to using “the auth_socket plugin”, which links your MySQL logins with your actual system login. Gave me a bit of the get off my lawn once I figured out what was going on.

Magento 2 implements the service contracts design pattern – a set of PHP interfaces that are defined for a module. A service contract includes service and data interfaces, which hide business logic details from service requestors such as controllers, web services, and other modules.
Web APIs in Magento 2 are bound to service contracts via configuration files. The API Data interfaces strictly define the data set available for data object for the entity, return types etc. Basically, the data interface represents the data to be included in the response, when it comes to WebAPI. Third-party developers cannot change API Data interface in the Magento core. So, the only way to affect interfaces using configuration is to add extension attributes. However, there is one requirement – data object to be extended must also implement the Magento\Framework\Api\ExtensibleDataInterface interface.
Let’s imagine we need to add a new “Customer Feedback…

Thanks to DSGVO some customers want to have a cookie notice:
Magento has this feature already built in. You can turn it on in the backend:
System > Configuration > General > Web > Session Cookie Management > Cookie Restriction Mode: YESBeside this you can define what the customer sees in the CMS block: cookie_restriction_notice_block.
Magento can have the same cms block identifier for different stores. Unfortunately this doesn't work for this feature.
The reason is:
class Mage_Page_Block_Html_CookieNotice extends Mage_Core_Block_Template { public function getCookieRestrictionBlockContent() { $blockIdentifier = Mage::helper('core/cookie')->getCookieRestrictionNoticeCmsBlockIdentifier(); $block = Mage::getModel('cms/block')->load($…I imagine it’s a narrow sliver of folks who follow this site and don’t follow the trades, but just in case: Adobe is going to buy Magento Inc. Right now there’s the usual sound and fury you’d expect from the usual places — Magento’s relentlessly on-message machine isn’t slacking off just because their goal is in sight. The sale doesn’t feel like much of a surprise although the buyer’s thrown folks for a loop. Sit with it a moment though, and you realize Adobe 2018 is a lot like the game company Steam — they’re innovating less in what the […]
This one came across my desk last week. Dangers of using a kitchen sink language I suppose.

Symfony 4, (further in the text – Symfony) for templating provides twig bundle, which is a very useful templating engine. It is built by SensioLabs – the company behind Symfony. Besides Symfony, there are more platforms supporting Twig such as Drupal8, eZPublish, phpBB, Piwik, OroCRM, etc. In this article we will cover the basics and show how to extend them. Twig is by default not installed with Symfony, you need to include symfony/twig-bundle with the composer (composer require symfony/twig-bundle).
FeaturesTwig has a lot of built-in features separated into groups, which can be divided into operators, functions, tags, filters, and tests. A lot of things can be done with built-in features, however, it is also possible to extend twig’s functionality. Templates should have “.html.twig” extension and they can be reused.
TemplatesTemplates are located inside templates folder, bundles are located inside [Bundle root]/Resources/views. Every template…
