I have one collection in a method where I want to perform two different operations on this collection. So, I want two separate copies of same collection, and then assign one of the two collections to original collection again and return it.

To make this simple, suppose I have an object collection called $collection.

Now, I am trying it with PHP cloning as I don’t know if there is any Magento collection cloning inbuilt or not.

$coll1 = clone $collection;
$coll2 = clone $collection;

Paul Simon listed 50 ways to leave your lover. I am about to list at least 50 ways for Magento to give you a heart attack. The most recent one resulted in an urgent text message from my client: He added a new category – and – magic! Next thing he knows: the home page is empty.

I have already written about troubleshooting products not displayed in Magento’s front. However this case is a bit different: while there – the products where never displayed on the site – neither on new products page nor on category’s page, here – right at creation, they were displayed as expected. However, for some mysterious reason, they suddenly disapeared!

Out of the box, the Magento checkout process is a bit overbearing. Perhaps the most common complaint is that the telephone field is required on both billing and shipping address forms. If your business doesn’t have this requirement, you may want to remove this validation from one or both address forms at checkout.

The below method will removed the telephone requirement on the shipping address form on the one page checkout form. This has been tested with Magento Community Edition 1.7.0.1.

STEP 1

The first step is to modify the one page checkout templates for the address form(s) in which you want to remove the telephone validation. The shipping address form is located here:
/app/design/frontend/base/default/template/checkout/onepage/shipping.phtml
