Product Image Re-size with out frame or removing white space

Hi,
Need to remove the white border around your images?

when we re-size product image we will get white space in border, so we can remove that white space when product image is re-sized

use this code to re-size the product image with out white space

<?php echo $this->helper('catalog/image')->init($product, 'small_image')->resize(135)->keepFrame(FALSE); ?>

->constrainOnly(true) This will not resize an image that is smaller than the dimensions inside the resize() part.

->keepAspectRatio(true) This will not distort the height/width of the image.

->keepFrame(false) This will not put a white frame around your image.


<?php echo $this->helper('catalog/image')->init($_product, 'image')->constrainOnly(true)->keepAspectRatio(true)->keepFrame(false)->resize(350, null) ?>

This would resize your images to a max 350 width and constrain the height. If your image is taller than it is wide, you will end up with a nicely resized vertical image.

Category Image Re-size

Hi,

We don't have any function to re-size the category image, i saw one post where it clearly mention how to do it

call this code where you need to display

$_category=Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($categoryId());
$_imgUrl = $_category->getResizedImage(70,70);
and extend category model to your local system or your custom module
XML

<global>
<models>
<catalog>
<rewrite>
<category>NameSpace_Modulename_Model_Category</category>
</rewrite>
</catalog>
</models>
</global>

in side model folder add this file Category.php and paste this code


<?php

class NameSpace_Modulename_Model_Category extends Mage_Catalog_Model_Category
{

public function getResizedImage($width, $height = null, $quality = 100) {

if (! $this->getImage ())
return false;

$imageUrl = Mage::getBaseDir ( 'media' ) . DS . "catalog" . DS . "category" . DS . $this->getImage ();
if (! is_file ( $imageUrl ))
return false;

$imageResized = Mage::getBaseDir ( 'media' ) . DS . "catalog" . DS . "product" . DS . "cache" . DS . "cat_resized" . DS . $this->getImage ();// Because clean Image cache function works in this folder only
if (! file_exists ( $imageResized ) && file_exists ( $imageUrl ) || file_exists($imageUrl) && filemtime($imageUrl) > filemtime($imageResized)) :
$imageObj = new Varien_Image ( $imageUrl );
$imageObj->constrainOnly ( true );
$imageObj->keepAspectRatio ( true );
$imageObj->keepFrame ( false );
$imageObj->quality ( $quality );
$imageObj->resize ( $width, $height );
$imageObj->save ( $imageResized );
endif;

if(file_exists($imageResized)){
return Mage::getBaseUrl ( 'media' ) ."/catalog/product/cache/cat_resized/" . $this->getImage ();
}else{
return $this->getImageUrl();
}

}

}

Apply coupon discount on Original Price not on special price in magento programmatically

Hi,

In Magento Default coupon code will apply to special price if special price is there else it will apply to original price ,
but in some case we need to apply coupon code discount to original price and then apply to special price
EX:- Special price 1000
Original Price :- 2000
Coupon discount is 10%

Then in cart page it will show special price- discountamount( acc to special price) i't 1000-100 = 900

but we need special price- discountamount( acc to Original price) i'e 1000- 200 =800

for that we need to create a event

add this xml code in config.xml in side events tag i'e <events></events>




<!-- event for default coupon but discount will apply for MRP-->
            <salesrule_validator_process>
                <observers>
                    <new_dicount_coupon>
                        <type>singleton</type>
                        <class>Namespcae_Modulename_Model_Observer</class>
                        <method>newcoupondiscountcal</method>
                    </new_dicount_coupon>
                </observers>
            </salesrule_validator_process>




And created Observer.php inside your module/model if not exists else add only this function newcoupondiscountcal($observer) in side Observer class



class Namespcae_Modulename_Model_Observer
{


//event for default coupon but discount will apply for MRP
public function newcoupondiscountcal($observer)
{

$item=$observer['item'];
$rule=$observer['rule'];
$rulePercent = max(0, 100-$rule->getDiscountAmount());
//print_r($rule->getData()); exit;

if($rule->getSimpleAction()=='by_percent') {
$disPer=$rule->getDiscountAmount();
$product=Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($item->getProductId());
$ratdisc=($product->getPrice()*$disPer)/100;
$DiscountAmount=$ratdisc+$item->getDiscountAmount();
$BaseDiscountAmount=$ratdisc+$item->setBaseDiscountAmount();

$result = $observer['result'];
$result->setDiscountAmount($DiscountAmount);
$result->setBaseDiscountAmount($BaseDiscountAmount);

}
}


clear cache and apply the code
