Magento remove currency selector on sidebar

max li bin — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 15:47:32 +0000

Well i have a client which have no idea how the currency selector pops out on the magento sidebar,
well having a currency selector is pretty good for business, especially as a E-commerce site, however some might felt cheated because of the conversion rate could be wrong, and user pay lesser, that created the confusion to store owner and buyer.
here is a way to remove the selector from sidebar.

go and open app/design/frontend/yourtheme/yourtheme/layout/directory.xml

<catalog_category_default>
<reference name="left">
<block type="directory/currency" name="currency" before="catalog.leftnav" template="directory/currency.phtml"/>
reference>
catalog_category_default>

<catalog_category_layered>
<reference name="left">
<block type="directory/currency" name="currency" before="catalog.leftnav" template="directory/currency.phtml"/>
reference>
catalog_category_layered>

remove these or comment it

css3 3d button

max li bin — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 14:13:14 +0000

Well reading through a few Css3 tutorials these few days, and i came out with a very simple css button that looks like 3d.

well the concept here is very easy, have a div overlay each other, and the bottom layer just need to pull down abit so it can be seen which create the 3d feel.
As as you can see have a main div which is call “css33dbutton” to wrap the whole button. then we will create 2 divs/layers inside. The top layer “top-layer” will be displayed and you can write text inside, which i put “This is a button”.

<div class="css33dbutton">
<div class="css33dbutton-top-layer">This is a button</div>
<div class="css33dbutton-bottom-layer"></div>
</div>

Well now lets get into CSS,

first we give a relative position to the button wrapper “css33dbutton”

.css33dbutton{ position: relative; }

then we need to get the both buttons to show up.

.css33dbutton-top-layer, .css33dbutton-bottom-layer {
display:block;
border-radius: 20px;
-moz-border-radius: 20px;
-webkit-border-radius: 20px;
background: #92163d;/** you can change to your background color **/
text-shadow: 0 -1px 0 #72113d;
width: 200px; height: 25px;
font-size:16px;
color:#fff;
}

once you are done with the first layer, and we need to get on to the bottom layer. the idea is the hide behide and pull it down abit to show a small part that create the 3d feel, and so we need to use absoute position and give a top of 8px, with a darker background and give a z-index of -1 to hide the layer backward.
well if you do not want to use z-index, you can use absolute position of -8px, in this case bottom layer will act as a top layer and you can insert content to bottom layer.

.css33dbutton-bottom-layer {
position:absolute;
top:8px;
background: background:#72113d;
height: 35px;
z-index: -1;
}

below here is a final outcome.

enjoy coding…

Php error Warning: failed to open stream

max li bin — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 14:59:15 +0000

well some time you try to work with some php scripts and we just had this yesterday when we transfer a script from different server to another, and this error pops up. …. failed to open stream…..

well here are some reasons for the errors.

These and similar errors are usually caused by:

A missing or empty config.php file
Missing or empty subdirectories
Missing .php files
An incorrect ‘txpath’ setting in config.php

make sure that you upload the full content / files, if the error still there check where is the error lead you to, and check if is the file in server.
