I’m trying to set the sort order in the category view for magento.

For the record, this doesn’t work. ->addAttributeToSort(‘updated_at’,'asc’)->setOrder(‘updated_at’, ‘asc’) Thanks in advance, Maarten Magento – Sort on date updated in category [...]

When using Magentos log facility Mage::log() it sometimes causes a white screen. No error messages are outputted either to the screen or any of the log files (var/log/system.log, var/log/exception.log ) This seems to happen only when I’m trying to log a very large object. for example when I’m trying this Mage::log(Mage::helper(‘catalog/category’)->getStoreCategories()); inside a block controller [...]

I’m working on a Magento 1.6 site, which has the following xml inside the home page’s CMS “Layout Update XML” field: <reference name=”content”> <block type=”catalog/navigation” name=”catalog.category.home” as=”homecategory” template=”catalog/category/homecategory.phtml” /> </reference> As the template shows randomized categories, I would like to disable caching for this block.

I presume that duplicating some of existing would be a start e.g. \template\catalog\product\widget\link\link_custom.phtml What next? Custom Catalog Product link widget [...]
