I need to get the parent configurable product from a simple product, even if the parent product is marked as disabled. I also need to get the status of the configurable product (enabled or disabled). Right now I’m getting the parent product like this: $parentIds = Mage::getResourceSingleton(‘catalog/product_type_configurable’)->getParentIdsByChild($product->getId()); if (isset($parentIds[0])) { $product = Mage::getModel(‘catalog/product’)->load($parentIds[0]); } This [...]

Is there an observer which can be used to observe events when a product is removed from the cart? I haven’t found any.

Is it worked for my case just as the first-time creation? And if the new [...]

We have a poster store. Posters come in varying sizes and have optional frames. Both the size and frame change the price. These are print-on-demand, so no inventory is needed. In the Magento world: This can’t be a simple product with attributes due to the pricing differences (?) Configurable products seem like a maintenance nightmare [...]

I’ve got an issue where only this morning my magento site at www.smartgaragestorage.com.au was working fine. All data could be found on single product pages and actual page data was visible on the front end. Now, after doing some work on a Temando freight extension I get only the page title on CMS pages and [...]
