Magento – Set debugging phpStorm for magento application

magento-1.6php-5.4phpstorm

I'm new to Magento. I'm used to working in dot net, where you can place the debugger where you need, so that you can identify bugs and other issues.

So, now I am learning Magento with phpStorm. Please let me know how to set line by line debugging from my custom module?

thanks in advance.

Nothing specific to setup, in your server install xdebug debugger, make sure that you see it listed in phpinfo output in a file in your Magento root. Then turn on "Start listen for php debug connections" from Run menu or toolbar icon. Place your break points wherever you want. Use php storm bookmarklet to initiate debug session with cookie. If all is successful PhpStorm will popup on your break point whenever the code reaches it.

Magento – how to set a custom block in all pages

All you need to do is add this to only one of your layout files.

<default>
    <reference name="left">
        <block name="mtb.template.left" type="core/template" template="page/mtb/mytemplate.phtml" />
    </reference>
    <reference name="right">
        <block name="mtb.template.right" type="core/template" template="page/mtb/mytemplate.phtml" />
    </reference>
</default>

~~But in case you have a page with the layout 3columns the block will appear bot on the left and right column. For that you need to remove one of them. You can do it like this.~~

~~<page_three_columns translate="label"> <remove name="mtb.template.right" /> </page_three_columns>~~

To remove it from a page do this:

<catalog_category_view>
    <remove name="mtb.template.right" /><!-- or "mtb.template.left"-->
</catalog_category_view>

Magento – Where is onclick event function

this is something you can find around Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Widget_Grid class, check it's _prepareMassaction method. This is where that button comes from.

Specifically, for products grid page check out file app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/Block/Catalog/Product/Grid.php for better understanding.

This is specific part of code in that file that reflects as "Delete" item in dropdown on your screen:

    $this->getMassactionBlock()->addItem('delete', array(
         'label'=> Mage::helper('catalog')->__('Delete'),
         'url'  => $this->getUrl('*/*/massDelete'),
         'confirm' => Mage::helper('catalog')->__('Are you sure?')
    ));
