Magento – Add a tab on product page based on attribute set

attribute-setproducttabs

I would like to add a static block on the frontend product page conditionally, based on the attribute set of the product. (e.g. Helmets -> display helmet size chart, which does not apply to other products.)

I have added:

<reference name='product.info.tabs'>
    <block type="cms/block" name="helmets_size_chart">
        <action method="setBlockId"><block_id>helmets_size_chart</block_id></action>
    </block>
</reference>

to the tabs block in local.xml, but that shows the static block on the tabs section on all product pages.
Secondly, I've added:

protected function _prepareLayout() {
    $product = Mage::registry('current_product');

    if (!($setId = $product->getAttributeSetId())) {
        $setId = $this->getRequest()->getParam('set', null);
    }

    if($setId != 12) { // helmets
        $this->getLayout()->unsetBlock('helmets_size_chart');
    }
}

to app/code/local/Mage/Catalog/Block/Product/View/Tabs.php
When viewing the product page, I can verify indeed the code in the setId != 12 block is parsed, but the unsetBlock() call doesn't do anything.

As you may have guessed, this is my first attempt at something programmatically in Magento, and I have no clue if I'm on the right track. Any thoughts welcome!

Thanks

Create a custom block and extend from Mage_Cms_Block_Block

You can now do something like this:

class Foo_Bar_Block_Producttab extends Mage_Cms_Block_Block
{
    protected function _toHtml()
    {
        $product = Mage::registry('current_product');

        if ($product->getAttributeSetId() == 12) {
            $this->setBlockId('helmets_size_chart');
        }

        return parent::_toHtml();
    }
}

And adjust your layout update file:

<reference name='product.info.tabs'>
    <block type="foo_bar/producttab" name="helmets_size_chart" />
</reference>

Magento – tabs with grids in an admin extension that is not a form

You haven't attached your layout xml file. If you have the correct layout set there, then you are almost there. But until you don't see any error messages in your log files your layout is not correctly set. Why to expect errors in the logs? When you want to show a tab and you implement the Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Widget_Tab_Interface, you have to write the interface's methods: getTabLabel, getTabTitle, canShowTab, isHidden. I don't see these methods in your Mycontrol.php block. Also you must have a container for the tabs' content. Have a look at /app/design/adminhtml/default/default/layout/catalog.xml and see how it is implemented there the layout xml at node adminhtml_catalog_product_new. You will see there something like:

<adminhtml_catalog_product_new>
    <update handle="editor"/>
    <reference name="content">
        <block type="adminhtml/catalog_product_edit" name="product_edit"></block>
    </reference>
    <reference name="left">
        <block type="adminhtml/catalog_product_edit_tabs" name="product_tabs"></block>
    </reference>
    <reference name="js">
        <block type="adminhtml/catalog_product_edit_js" template="catalog/product/js.phtml" name="catalog_product_js"></block>
        <block type="core/template" template="catalog/wysiwyg/js.phtml"/>
    </reference>
</adminhtml_catalog_product_new>

What you are interested in is the left reference and the content. First, look at the adminhtml/catalog_product_edit_tabs block class' constructor. You will see:

public function __construct()
{
    parent::__construct();
    $this->setId('product_info_tabs');
    $this->setDestElementId('product_edit_form');
    $this->setTitle(Mage::helper('catalog')->__('Product Information'));
}

with the setDestElementId you set the id of the element which will contain the contents while clicking on a tab. Also in this class you can define a _prepareLayout method and add the tab to the layout:

            $this->addTab('some_name', array(
                'label'     => Mage::helper('your_helper')->__('tab label'),
                'content'   => $this->_translateHtml($this->getLayout()
                    ->createBlock('mycomp/myext_mycontrol')->toHtml()),
            ));

You can add a tab also from the layout xml by using the <action method="addTab">. You can see a couple of examples in catalog.xml. Now that your tab is added, you have to make sure that the container id (what you have specified in the setDestElementId method) does exist. So, go back to the adminhtml_catalog_product_new layout example, see the reference to the content; the block inside should produce the needed id. When these are all set, your tabs will work.

Magento – Map attribute set based on Default attribute set programatically in magento 2

You can try this code to apply default attribute set to custom attribute. It's working fine for me.

class UpgradeData implements UpgradeDataInterface
{

/**
 * @var \Magento\Catalog\Model\Product\Attribute\Management
 */
private $attributeManagement;

/**
 * @var AttributeSetFactory
 */
protected $attributeSetFactory;

/**
 * @var CategorySetupFactory
 */
protected $categorySetupFactory;

/**
 * EAV setup factory
 *
 * @var EavSetupFactory
 */
private $eavSetupFactory;

/**
 * Init
 *
 * @param EavSetupFactory $eavSetupFactory
 */
public function __construct(
    \Magento\Eav\Setup\EavSetupFactory $eavSetupFactory,
    \Magento\Eav\Model\Entity\Attribute\SetFactory $attributeSetFactory,
    \Magento\Catalog\Setup\CategorySetupFactory $categorySetupFactory,
    \Magento\Catalog\Model\Product\Attribute\Management $attributeManagement
) {
    $this->eavSetupFactory = $eavSetupFactory;
    $this->categorySetupFactory = $categorySetupFactory;
    $this->attributeSetFactory = $attributeSetFactory;
    $this->attributeManagement = $attributeManagement;
}



/**
 * {@inheritdoc}
 * @SuppressWarnings(PHPMD.ExcessiveMethodLength)
 */
public function upgrade(ModuleDataSetupInterface $setup, ModuleContextInterface $context)
{
    if (version_compare($context->getVersion(), '1.0.1') < 0) {
        $eavSetup = $this->eavSetupFactory->create(['setup' => $setup]);


        $categorySetup = $this->categorySetupFactory->create(['setup' => $setup]);
        /**
         *checking the current version of the module 
         *this function is implemented from  ModuleContextInterface
        */

        $attributeSet = $this->attributeSetFactory->create();
        $entityTypeId = $categorySetup->getEntityTypeId(\Magento\Catalog\Model\Product::ENTITY);
        $attributeSetId = $categorySetup->getDefaultAttributeSetId($entityTypeId);
        $data = [
        'attribute_set_name' => 'Attribute set name',
        'entity_type_id' => $entityTypeId,
        'sort_order' => 200,
        ];
        $attributeSet->setData($data);
        $attributeSet->validate();
        $attributeSet->save();
        $attributeSet->initFromSkeleton($attributeSetId);
        $attributeSet->save();        
        $AttributeSetId = $attributeSet->getId();

        $groupName = 'Attribute Group name';
        $attributeSetId = $categorySetup->getDefaultAttributeSetId($entityTypeId);
        $categorySetup->addAttributeGroup($entityTypeId, $attributeSetId, $groupName, 100);
        $attributeGroupId = $categorySetup->getAttributeGroupId($entityTypeId, $AttributeSetId, $groupName);
}
}
