In my previous post, I had explained a way to add extra controllers to existing route. Here I am going to explain another method which is used for overriding controllers and actions. Like my each post on tips & tricks, I am going to first explain where the trick is applicable! I am considering that readers of this post are aware of MVC architecture in Magento.
Let me explain the difference between the both tricks. The trick explained in previous post is used when we need additional URLs in same route …

When upload images for products, after uploading images a dialog box would popup with HTML source code, then the system goto to login again and none of the pictures were uploaded.
Work around:
add file php.ini with
magic_quotes_gpc = off
short_open_tag = on
extension=pdo.so
extension=pdo_mysql.so
It should work fine now.

Here is the way to get product information for a specific store view in Magento.
<?php $product = Mage::getModel(’catalog/product’)->setStoreId(Mage::app()->getStore()->getId())->load($productId); ?>
And get product description:

<?php echo $this->helper(’catalog/output’)->productAttribute($product, nl2br($product->getDescription()), ‘description’); ?>

Now I’m sure Prototype is wonderful and all that, but I don’t know a lick of it. I’d rather just use the library I’ve known to come and love, jQuery. But Prototype and jQuery notoriously don’t …
