How to add own class to library in ZF1

You have to add to your application.ini:

autoloadernamespaces.broker = "Broker_"

where Broker is your directory into library folder. As a result you can create class Broker_Object in /library/Broker/Object.php and it will be loaded by autoloader.

How to add compare link to top links

First of all you have to create helper in your own module with two methods:

/**
 * Return label for comparing products list
 *
 * @return int
 */
public function getCompareLabel()
{
    $count = Mage::helper('catalog/product_compare')->getItemCollection()->getSize();
    return $this->__('Compare (%s)', $count);
}

/**
 * Return whether visible compare link
 *
 * @return bool
 */
public function getCompareLinkIsVisibleClass()
{
    $count = Mage::helper('catalog/product_compare')->getItemCollection()->getSize();

    if ($count > 0) {
        return '';
    }

    return 'class="no-display"';
}

Then add to layout xml (in block where you want to add link):

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 class="compare"

Where helper="slirx_ajaxpanel - your helper, module="slirx_ajaxpanel" - your module.

And in app.js (for rwd theme, for another you have to add this code to any js file that will be loaded on pages with your compare link)

$j('body').delegate('#header-account .compare', 'click', function(event) {
 var _url = $j(this).attr('href');
 popWin(_url, 'compare', 'top:0,left:0,width=820,height=600,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes');

 event.preventDefault();
});

Filter categories by store

Getting categories from specific store:

$storeId = 5;
$categoryId = Mage::app()->getStore($storeId)->getRootCategoryId();
$categories = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->getCollection()
->addFieldToFilter('path', array('like'=> "1/$categoryId/%"))
