Magento 1.9 – Same Product Different Store Views

The following approach might be not very SEO friendly but with different URL keys I don't see any SEO friendly one.

You can setup a proxy page like this:

<?php

require_once 'app/Mage.php';
umask(0);

Mage::run();

$_product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load((int)$_REQUEST['id']);
if ($_product->getId()) {
    header('Location: ' . $_product->getProductUrl());
}

Then in your WP you can just link to this file specifying product ID as _GET parameter.

The problem is that the second save uses the last setData called so basically you have the following situation.

1. on first call to save the data is:
   • name: English name,
2. on the second call to save the data is:
   • name: Polish name,
3. on the third call to save the data is:
   • name: Polish name,
   • description: English,
4. on the forth call to save the data is:
   • name: Polish name,
   • description: Polish,

You could either set the data at the same time:

$product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product');
$product->setStoreId(1)->setData('name', 'English name')->setData('description', 'English')->save();
$product->setStoreId(2)->setData('name', 'Polish name')->setData('description', 'Polish')->save();

Or you could do this by using an array of data:

$product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product');
$product->setStoreId(1)->setData(array('name' => 'English name', 'description'=> 'English'))->save();
$product->setStoreId(2)->setData(array('name' => 'Polish name', 'description' => 'Polish'))->save();

Summary

Basically because there is no load/reset of the object in between the saves the data is always the same as the last save but with only the store id and what ever has been specifically changed by calling set data. The setStoreId does not load the store specific values is simply sets an id.
