Is it possible to change Magento template via query string?
I am developing a custom template and sometimes I want to check if I broke something, so I want to change via query string the theme for the default one.
I am looing for something like this:
?_theme=default
Does something like this exists?
Programmatically:
You could write an observer that is listening to event <controller_action_predispatch>
The observer method could look like this:
public function changeTheme(){
if (Mage::app()->getRequest()->getParam('layout_switch') == '1'){
Mage::getDesign()->setArea(‘frontend’)
->setPackageName(Mage::app()->getRequest()->getParam('package'))
->setTheme(Mage::app()->getRequest()->getParam('theme'));
}
return;
}
}
Then you would just need to call your page with e.g.
yourdomain.com/index.php/layout_switch/1/package/default/theme/default
The short answer is no you can't (as far as I know)
However if it's your local installation (which you use only as a development enviroment!) you can use a trick:
Create another Store view and assign whatever theme you want to that store view and then access it like yourstore.com/?___store=storecode
as simple as 1-2-3.:) Create a new dev theme and copy all the files from the current live theme to the new one (both app/design and sking). Then observe controller_action_predispatch event and then in the observer function simply:
$controllerAction = $observer->getControllerAction();
if ($controllerAction->getLayout()->getArea() == Mage_Core_Model_App_Area::AREA_FRONTEND) {
$ipAddress = Mage::helper('core/http')->getRemoteAddr();
$ipAddresses = array('xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx');
if (in_array($ipAddress, $ipAddresses)) {
Mage::getDesign()->setTheme('theme-wanted');
}
}
Very helpful for design tweaks indeed. After the work is finished the observer should be disabled or module deactivated until next time

I'm trying to create dynamic pages based on a database that grows by the minute. Therefor it isn't an option to use createPage and build several times a day.
I'm using onCreatePage here to create pages which works fine for my first route, but when I try to make an English route somehow it doesn't work.
gatby-node.js:
exports.onCreatePage = async ({ page, actions: { createPage } }) => {
if (page.path.match(/^\/listing/)) {
page.matchPath = '/listing/:id'
createPage(page)
}
if (page.path.match(/^\/en\/listing/)) {
page.matchPath = '/en/listing/:id'
createPage(page)
}
}
What I'm trying to achieve here is getting 2 dynamic routes like:
localhost:8000/listing/123 (this one works)
localhost:8000/en/listing/123 (this one doesn't work)
My pages folder looks like this:
pages
---listing.tsx
---en/
------listing.tsx
Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong here?

P.S. I want to use SSR (available since Gatsby v4) by using the getServerData() in the templates for these pages. Will that work together with pages created dynamically with onCreatePage or is there a better approach?
According to what we've discussed in the comment section: the fact that the /en/ path is never created, hence is not entering the following condition:
if (page.path.match(/^\/en\/listing/)) {
page.matchPath = '/en/listing/:id'
createPage(page)
}
Points me to think that the issue is on your createPages API rather than onCreatePage, which means that your english page is not even created.
Keep in mind that onCreatePage API is a callback called when a page is created, so it's triggered after createPages.
If you add a console.log(page.path) you shouldn't see the English page in the IDE/text editor console so try debugging how are you creating the /en/ route because it seems that onCreatePage doesn't have any problem.
I try to figure out how to set active links in a navbar or sitebar for an async ufront application.
On the server I can load and parse it dynamically inside the main (top level) controller via an api call like:
#inject public function init(context:HttpContext) {
ufTrace("HomeController::init");
var navStr:String = "";
//getNavbar loads the navbar html snippet and parses the code to set 'active' some tags in relation to the request uri
var navbarSurprise = siteApi.getNavbar(context.request.uri);
navbarSurprise.handle(function (outcome) {
switch (outcome) {
case Success(navbarStr): navStr = navbarStr;
case Failure(err): navStr = "<h1>Could not load navigation: $err</h1>";
}
} );
ViewResult.globalValues["navBar"] = navStr;
}
but that doesn't work on the client for pushstate urls. (navStr would always be empty)
The ViewResult.hx (line:126) doc states:
Helpers (dynamic functions) can be included in your ViewResult also.
Could this be a place to handle that?
But unfortunately I couldn't find any help/examples how to add helper functions to a ViewResult.
I was also thinking about doing it in a custom ViewEngine. But that seems a bit like overcomplicating things.
Any thoughts about that would be appreciated.
Seems your are looking to render the navbar on the server when processing the request.
I did something like that some time ago by using sipple (another templating engine) but you can also use other engine (i think) like haxe template or erazor etc.
This issue sums up how i processed different partials using stipple
Hope it helps.
I have a document library setup to recieve emails. The emails coming in have a single picture and a csv file which I use for some processing.
The override emailrecieved works perfectly but of course as I override I lose the nice SharePoint functionaliy that saves the incomming email as configured in the settings.
It was my understanding that I could call MyBase.EmailRecieved in my event for the underlying functionality to still work. This however is not working and no record of the email coming in is getting retained.
For now I am explicitly creating an audit trail but I would like to rely on SharePoints existing functionality as I believe it will be more robust.
What am I doing wrong with the MyBase.EmailRecieved call? Or what can I do instead if this doesnt work?
Thanks in advance.
When writing your own EmailReceived event receiver you will loose the default functionality.
What you will have to do is to implement this default functionality yourself. Let me give you a simple example. The following example saves all mail attachments to the list if they are *.csv files. You can do the same with the emailMessage and save it to the list as well. As you can see it is as easy as to add Files.Add to add a file to a document library.
public override void EmailReceived(SPList list, SPEmailMessage emailMessage, string receiverData)
{
SPFolder folder = list.RootFolder;
//save attachments to list
foreach (SPEmailAttachment attachment in emailMessage.Attachments)
{
if (attachment.FileName.EndsWith(".csv"))
{
var attachmentFileName = attachment.FileName;
folder.Files.Add(folder.Url + "/" + attachmentFileName, attachment.ContentStream, true);
}
}
list.Update();
}
am a newbie, trying to write some basics extension. For my extension to work i need to initialize some data, so what I did is inside my background.js i declared something like this.
localStorage["frequency"] = 1; //I want one as Default value. This line is not inside any method, its just the first line of the file background.js
Users can goto Options page and change this above variable to any value using the GUI. As soon as the user changes it in UI am updating that value.
Now the problem is to my understanding background.js reloads everytime the machine is restarted. So every time I restart my machine and open Chrome the frequency value is changed back to 1. In order to avoid this where I need to initialize this value?
You could just use a specific default key. So if frequency is not set you would try default-frequency. The default keys are then still set or defined in the background.js.
I like to do that in one step, in a function like this
function storageGet(key,defaultValue){
var item = localstorage.getItem(key);
if(item === null)return defaultValue;
else return item;
}
(According to the specification localstorage must return null if no value has been set.)
So for your case it would look something like
var f = storageGet("frequency",1);
Furthermore you might be interested in checking out the chrome.storage API. It's used similar to localstorage but provides additional functionalities which might be useful for your extension. In particular it supports to synchronize the user data across different chrome browsers.
edit I changed the if statement in regard to apsillers objection. But since the specification says it's ought to be null, I think it makes sense to check for that instead of undefined.
This is another solution:
// background.js
initializeDefaultValues();
function initializeDefaultValues() {
if (localStorage.getItem('default_values_initialized')) {
return;
}
// set default values for your variable here
localStorage.setItem('frequency', 1);
localStorage.setItem('default_values_initialized', true);
}
I think the problem lies with your syntax. To get and set your localStorage values try using this:
// to set
localStorage.setItem("frequency", 1);
// to get
localStorage.getItem("frequency");
Essentially I am looking to have a url query parameter persist throughout the life of the grails application (POST or GET). ex.
http://localhost:8080/demo/controller/action/?myParam=foobar
I have tried a couple routes. Dynamic method overriding redirect and customizing application tags for createLink. However, since I also use grails webflows it doesn't quite get every single URL. I also tried using a groovy servlet (groovlet) to capture every URL and append the query parameter. The last attempt hasn't been very successful. Am I missing an obvious component to grails? Am I on the right track? Is there another avenue I haven't explored yet?
Thanks in advance
Have you tried using a filter? The following filter will add the param to every request
class MyFilters {
def filters = {
addParam(controller:'*', action:'*') {
before = {
params.myParam = 'foobar'
}
} } }
