August 10, 2010August 19, 2017Arvind Bhardwaj 76

If you are creating an admin module for Magento (learn creating admin module in Magento) then you would surely be asked to create grids (eg. for order listing). Creating grids can be somewhat difficult for the novice Magento programmers, but in this tutorial we will create a grid in the admin module in the simplest possible way. It is assumed that you are familiar with creating admin module in Magento.

Namespace : Company
Module name : Web

Note: Please create necessary xmls for our module (this step has been skipped for simplicity).

Step 1:

Create Web/Block/Adminhtml/Web.php

<?php
class Company_Web_Block_Adminhtml_Web extends Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Widget_Grid_Container
{
  public function __construct()
  {
    $this->_controller = 'adminhtml_web';
    $this->_blockGroup = 'web';
    $this->_headerText = Mage::helper('web')->__('Item Manager');
    $this->_addButtonLabel = Mage::helper('web')->__('Add Item');
    parent::__construct();
  }
}

Step 2:

Create Web/Block/Adminhtml/Web/Grid.php

<?php

class Company_Web_Block_Adminhtml_Web_Grid extends Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Widget_Grid
{
  public function __construct()
  {
      parent::__construct();
      $this->setId('webGrid');
      $this->setDefaultSort('web_id');
      $this->setDefaultDir('ASC');
      $this->setSaveParametersInSession(true);
  }

  protected function _prepareCollection()
  {
      $collection = Mage::getModel('web/web')->getCollection();
      $this->setCollection($collection);
      return parent::_prepareCollection();
  }

  protected function _prepareColumns()
  {
      $this->addColumn('web_id', array(
          'header'    => Mage::helper('web')->__('ID'),
          'align'     =>'right',
          'width'     => '50px',
          'index'     => 'web_id',
      ));

      $this->addColumn('title', array(
          'header'    => Mage::helper('web')->__('Title'),
          'align'     =>'left',
          'index'     => 'title',
      ));

   /*
      $this->addColumn('content', array(
   'header'    => Mage::helper('web')->__('Item Content'),
   'width'     => '150px',
   'index'     => 'content',
      ));
   */

      $this->addColumn('status', array(
          'header'    => Mage::helper('web')->__('Status'),
          'align'     => 'left',
          'width'     => '80px',
          'index'     => 'status',
          'type'      => 'options',
          'options'   => array(
              1 => 'Enabled',
              2 => 'Disabled',
          ),
      ));
   
        $this->addColumn('action',
            array(
                'header'    =>  Mage::helper('web')->__('Action'),
                'width'     => '100',
                'type'      => 'action',
                'getter'    => 'getId',
                'actions'   => array(
                    array(
                        'caption'   => Mage::helper('web')->__('Edit'),
                        'url'       => array('base'=> '*/*/edit'),
                        'field'     => 'id'
                    )
                ),
                'filter'    => false,
                'sortable'  => false,
                'index'     => 'stores',
                'is_system' => true,
        ));
  
  $this->addExportType('*/*/exportCsv', Mage::helper('web')->__('CSV'));
  $this->addExportType('*/*/exportXml', Mage::helper('web')->__('XML'));
   
      return parent::_prepareColumns();
  }

    protected function _prepareMassaction()
    {
        $this->setMassactionIdField('web_id');
        $this->getMassactionBlock()->setFormFieldName('web');

        $this->getMassactionBlock()->addItem('delete', array(
             'label'    => Mage::helper('web')->__('Delete'),
             'url'      => $this->getUrl('*/*/massDelete'),
             'confirm'  => Mage::helper('web')->__('Are you sure?')
        ));

        $statuses = Mage::getSingleton('web/status')->getOptionArray();

        array_unshift($statuses, array('label'=>'', 'value'=>''));
        $this->getMassactionBlock()->addItem('status', array(
             'label'=> Mage::helper('web')->__('Change status'),
             'url'  => $this->getUrl('*/*/massStatus', array('_current'=>true)),
             'additional' => array(
                    'visibility' => array(
                         'name' => 'status',
                         'type' => 'select',
                         'class' => 'required-entry',
                         'label' => Mage::helper('web')->__('Status'),
                         'values' => $statuses
                     )
             )
        ));
        return $this;
    }

  public function getRowUrl($row)
  {
      return $this->getUrl('*/*/edit', array('id' => $row->getId()));
  }

}

Step 3:

Create Web/controllers/Adminhtml/WebController.php

<?php

class Company_Web_Adminhtml_WebController extends Mage_Adminhtml_Controller_action
{

 protected function _initAction() {
  $this->loadLayout()
   ->_setActiveMenu('web/items')

  $model  = Mage::getModel('web/web')->load($id);

  if ($model->getId() || $id == 0) {
   $data = Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/session')->getFormData(true);
   if (!empty($data)) {
    $model->setData($data);
   }

   Mage::register('web_data', $model);

   $this->loadLayout();
   $this->_setActiveMenu('web/items');

   $this->_addBreadcrumb(Mage::helper('adminhtml')->__('Item Manager'), Mage::helper('adminhtml')->__('Item Manager'));
   $this->_addBreadcrumb(Mage::helper('adminhtml')->__('Item News'), Mage::helper('adminhtml')->__('Item News'));

   $this->getLayout()->getBlock('head')->setCanLoadExtJs(true);

   $this->_addContent($this->getLayout()->createBlock('web/adminhtml_web_edit'))
    ->_addLeft($this->getLayout()->createBlock('web/adminhtml_web_edit_tabs'));

   $this->renderLayout();
  } else {
   Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/session')->addError(Mage::helper('web')->__('Item does not exist'));
   $this->_redirect('*/*/');
  }
 }
 
 public function newAction() {
  $this->_forward('edit');
 }
 
 public function saveAction() {
  if ($data = $this->getRequest()->getPost()) {
   
   if(isset($_FILES['filename']['name']) && $_FILES['filename']['name'] != '') {
    try { 
     /* Starting upload */ 
     $uploader = new Varien_File_Uploader('filename');
     
     // Any extention would work
              $uploader->setAllowedExtensions(array('jpg','jpeg','gif','png'));
     $uploader->setAllowRenameFiles(false);
     
     // Set the file upload mode 
     // false -> get the file directly in the specified folder
     // true -> get the file in the product like folders 
     // (file.jpg will go in something like /media/f/i/file.jpg)
     $uploader->setFilesDispersion(false);
       
     // We set media as the upload dir
     $path = Mage::getBaseDir('media') . DS ;
     $uploader->save($path, $_FILES['filename']['name'] );
     
    } catch (Exception $e) {
        
          }
         
          //this way the name is saved in DB
      $data['filename'] = $_FILES['filename']['name'];
   }
      
      
   $model = Mage::getModel('web/web');  
   $model->setData($data)
    ->setId($this->getRequest()->getParam('id'));
   
   try {
    if ($model->getCreatedTime == NULL || $model->getUpdateTime() == NULL) {
     $model->setCreatedTime(now())
      ->setUpdateTime(now());
    } else {

    } 
    
    $model->save();
    Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/session')->addSuccess(Mage::helper('web')->__('Item was successfully saved'));
    Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/session')->setFormData(false);

     return;
    }
    $this->_redirect('*/*/');

        $this->_redirect('*/*/');
 }
 
 public function deleteAction() {
  if( $this->getRequest()->getParam('id') > 0 ) {
   try {
    $model = Mage::getModel('web/web');
     
    $model->setId($this->getRequest()->getParam('id'))
     ->delete();
      
    Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/session')->addSuccess(Mage::helper('adminhtml')->__('Item was successfully deleted'));
    $this->_redirect('*/*/');

 }

    public function massDeleteAction() {
        $webIds = $this->getRequest()->getParam('web');
        if(!is_array($webIds)) {
   Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/session')->addError(Mage::helper('adminhtml')->__('Please select item(s)'));
        } else {
            try {
                foreach ($webIds as $webId) {
                    $web = Mage::getModel('web/web')->load($webId);
                    $web->delete();
                }
                Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/session')->addSuccess(
                    Mage::helper('adminhtml')->__(
                        'Total of %d record(s) were successfully deleted', count($webIds)
                    )
                );
            } catch (Exception $e) {
                Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/session')->addError($e->getMessage());
            }
        }
        $this->_redirect('*/*/index');
    }
 
    public function massStatusAction()
    {
        $webIds = $this->getRequest()->getParam('web');
        if(!is_array($webIds)) {
            Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/session')->addError($this->__('Please select item(s)'));
        } else {
            try {
                foreach ($webIds as $webId) {
                    $web = Mage::getSingleton('web/web')
                        ->load($webId)
                        ->setStatus($this->getRequest()->getParam('status'))
                        ->setIsMassupdate(true)
                        ->save();
                }
                $this->_getSession()->addSuccess(
                    $this->__('Total of %d record(s) were successfully updated', count($webIds))
                );
            } catch (Exception $e) {
                $this->_getSession()->addError($e->getMessage());
            }
        }
        $this->_redirect('*/*/index');
    }
  
}

Step 4:

Create Web/Model/Web.php

<?php
class Company_Web_Model_Web extends Mage_Core_Model_Abstract
{
    public function _construct()
    {
        parent::_construct();
        $this->_init('web/web');
    }
}

Step 5:

Create Web/Model/Mysql4/Web.php

<?php

class Company_Web_Model_Mysql4_Web extends Mage_Core_Model_Mysql4_Abstract
{
    public function _construct()
    {    
        $this->_init('web/web', 'web_id');
    }
}

Step 6:

Create Web/Model/Mysql4/Web/Collection.php

<?php

class Company_Web_Model_Mysql4_Web_Collection extends Mage_Core_Model_Mysql4_Collection_Abstract
{
    public function _construct()
    {
        parent::_construct();
        $this->_init('web/web');
    }
}

But your grid will not appear in the backend until you create the following xml file.

Step 7:

Create app/design/adminhtml/default/default/layout/web.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout version="0.1.0">
    <web_adminhtml_web_index>
        <reference name="content">
            <block type="web/adminhtml_web" name="web" />
        </reference>
    </web_adminhtml_web_index>
</layout>

Thanks for the code.

following anonymous’ bugfix (a file seems missing) in the other article, it works:

“To solve the blank page problem, I add a file web.xml in appdesignADMINHTMLdefaultdefaultlayout with the content:”

< ?xml version=”1.0″? >
< layout version=”0.1.0″ >
< default >
< /default >
< web_adminhtml_web_index >
< reference name=”content” >
< block type=”web/adminhtml_web” name=”web” / >
< /reference >
< /web_adminhtml_web_index >
< /layout >

I would like to add a couple of fields to the database, e.g. for an editable ‘status’ field and another text field. How can I do this and have them save into the db??
arvind07 says:

June 8, 2011 at 4:11 am

Hi Mathew,
For adding new fields to database table you need to create a new updater file in /app/code/local///sql/_setup/ as mysql4-upgrade-x.x.x-y.y.y.php
where x.x.x is the old version of module and y.y.y is the new version number of your module. In this file you can write the update query for the table.
Don’t forget to update your module version number in the appcodelocalCompanyWebetcconfig.xml.

Hello,

This is grid we can get creating module using module creator. Can you tell us how we can call the grid used in our own extension in custom tab or product catalog.

Like if we make custom tab in product catalog page(edit section).Hope you will get my question.

Thanks

Considering Magento has very complicated, multiple and impossible to debug xml files, I don’t see how skipping XMLs makes “simplicity”.

After some hours wasted on Magento XMLs (as usual), it works.

When you get a blank page most of the time you will need to empty your cache + logout + close browser.

Hi, first of all thank you very much for your tutorial which pointed me to the right direction. But unfortunately I have an error I cannot fix:

The PHP error is:
Fatal error: Call to a member function setSaveParametersInSession() on a non-object in app/code/local/MyCompany/MyModule/Block/Adminhtml/MyModule.php on line 21

The Magento exception in the error.log is:
‘Mage_Core_Exception’ with message ‘Invalid block type: Mage_MyModule_Block_Adminhtml_Index_Grid’ in app/Mage.php:550

Has anybody faced a similar problem?

It looks like Magento is trying to load the Block class from the wrong namespace (Mage instead of MyModule). What do you think? Please help me out. I’m totally stuck here.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

  Add this in ModulenameController.php
  
  public function exportCsvAction()
  {
  $fileName = ‘export.csv’;
  $content = $this->getLayout()->createBlock(‘modulename/adminhtml_modulename_grid’)->getCsv();
  $this->_sendUploadResponse($fileName, $content);
  }
  
  public function exportXmlAction()
  {
  
  $fileName = ‘export.xml’;
  $content = $this->getLayout()->createBlock(‘modulename/adminhtml_modulename_grid’)->getXml();
  $this->_sendUploadResponse($fileName, $content);
  
  }
  
  protected function _sendUploadResponse($fileName, $content, $contentType=’application/octet-stream’) {
  $response = $this->getResponse();
  $response->setHeader(‘HTTP/1.1 200 OK’, ”);
  $response->setHeader(‘Pragma’, ‘public’, true);
  $response->setHeader(‘Cache-Control’, ‘must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0’, true);
  $response->setHeader(‘Content-Disposition’, ‘attachment; filename=’ . $fileName);
  $response->setHeader(‘Last-Modified’, date(‘r’));
  $response->setHeader(‘Accept-Ranges’, ‘bytes’);
  $response->setHeader(‘Content-Length’, strlen($content));
  $response->setHeader(‘Content-type’, $contentType);
  $response->setBody($content);
  $response->sendResponse();
  die;

Hi Arvind,

I installed the module and Its working fine. But when I create a new user and wanted to give him limited permission, in that case this module is not coming in the list so that I could check it for the user to allow access of this module.
Please let me know If Its possible or not?

Thanks
Vipin
