Magento 1.7 Get Config Data from Current Store – Admin Area Guide

magento-1.7shippingshipping-methods

i want to get config data from current store not from default config so for example if i change Table rates title from "Table Rate" to "Something Else" in main webisite config and save it, i can see these changes also in Default store view and that is ok, but if i want to get this title "Something else" i always get title "Table Rates" i am using this code to check it:

$title = Mage::getStoreConfig('carriers/tablerate/title',Mage::app()->getStore()); 
            var_dump($title);
            die();

and it always prints "Table Rate", i have also tried without 'Mage::app()->getStore())' cause i read there that "The getStoreConfig() method looks like return self::app()->getStore($store)->getConfig($path);, so it get the same if you don't pass the second param – 'Mage::app()->getStore()'." so can anyone tell me how to get config from main website not from default config?

p.s. i have my own shipping module with all config and cerrier and etc files, table rates is just a sample that is the same thing happens to the table rates also.

You problem is that your code is always executed from admin area. So it it always getting store ID of admin store. Which is 0.

To change this you have to fetch the store ID from the order and use as a second parameter of Mage::getStoreConfig(). So in your method it should look like this:

public function salesOrderShipmentSaveBefore($observer)
{
    ...
    $order = $observer->getOrder();
    $title = Mage::getStoreConfig('carriers/tablerate/title', $order->getData('store_id'));
    ...
}

Magento 1.7 – Fix Currency ‘USD’ Not Found Error

Ok so I am not sure if this is the bug but if you compare the Magento 1.8 and Magento 1.7 versions of the function currency in Mage_Core_Model_Local you will notice a reference to a bug with Zend_Currency

Magento 1.7: Mage_Core_Model_Local->currency

/**
 * Create Zend_Currency object for current locale
 *
 * @param   string $currency
 * @return  Zend_Currency
 */
public function currency($currency)
{
    Varien_Profiler::start('locale/currency');
    if (!isset(self::$_currencyCache[$this->getLocaleCode()][$currency])) {
        try {
            $currencyObject = new Zend_Currency($currency, $this->getLocale());
        } catch (Exception $e) {
            $currencyObject = new Zend_Currency($this->getCurrency(), $this->getLocale());
            $options = array(
                    'name'      => $currency,
                    'currency'  => $currency,
                    'symbol'    => $currency
            );
            $currencyObject->setFormat($options);
        }

        self::$_currencyCache[$this->getLocaleCode()][$currency] = $currencyObject;
    }
    Varien_Profiler::stop('locale/currency');
    return self::$_currencyCache[$this->getLocaleCode()][$currency];
}

Magento 1.8: Mage_Core_Model_Local->currency

/**
 * Create Zend_Currency object for current locale
 *
 * @param   string $currency
 * @return  Zend_Currency
 */
public function currency($currency)
{
    Varien_Profiler::start('locale/currency');
    if (!isset(self::$_currencyCache[$this->getLocaleCode()][$currency])) {
        $options = array();
        try {
            $currencyObject = new Zend_Currency($currency, $this->getLocale());
        } catch (Exception $e) {
            /**
             * catch specific exceptions like "Currency 'USD' not found"
             * - back end falls with specific locals as Malaysia and etc.
             *
             * as we can see from Zend framework ticket
             * http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-10038
             * zend team is not going to change it behaviour in the near time
             */
            $currencyObject = new Zend_Currency($currency);
            $options['name'] = $currency;
            $options['currency'] = $currency;
            $options['symbol'] = $currency;
        }

        $options = new Varien_Object($options);
        Mage::dispatchEvent('currency_display_options_forming', array(
            'currency_options' => $options,
            'base_code' => $currency
        ));

        $currencyObject->setFormat($options->toArray());
        self::$_currencyCache[$this->getLocaleCode()][$currency] = $currencyObject;
    }
    Varien_Profiler::stop('locale/currency');
    return self::$_currencyCache[$this->getLocaleCode()][$currency];
}

My suggestion would be to try updating the try catch to match that of Magento 1.8 (I know this is not the best solution and obviously I would not suggest editing the core files but adding a rewrite)

Magento – Customize shipping rates based on product types/ categories in Magento 1.8

From what I understand your problem reduces to "If there is a wine type product in the cart, don't show the flat rate and when you order only food type products don't show table rate."
Each shipping method model has a method called proccessAdditionalValidation. You need to rewrite the models Mage_Shipping_Model_Carrier_Flatrate and Mage_Shipping_Model_Carrier_Tablerate and implement this method. The method receives as parameter an object of type Mage_Shipping_Model_Rate_Request from which you can access all products.

so your method can look something like this:

public function proccessAdditionalValidation(Mage_Shipping_Model_Rate_Request $request)
{
    //get all cart items
    $items = $request->getAllItems();
    //loop through the items and check their type
    foreach ($items as $item) {
        $product = $item->getProduct();
        //on the table rate model use this
        if ($product is of type wine) { //replace this with your code that checks if product is of type wine
            //so if there is at least one wine product then show the method
            return $this;
        }
        //on the flat rate model use this
        if ($product is of type wine) { //replace this with your code that checks if product is of type wine
            //so if there is at least one wine product then don't show the method
            return false;
        }

    }

}
