Add success or error message using magento session

-

Error message


Set error message for front page.

$message = $this->__('Got an error');
Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->addError($message);
Set error message for admin page.

$message = $this->__('Got an error');
Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/session')->addError($message);

Success message


Set success message for front page.

$message = $this->__('Got an error');
Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->addSuccess($message);
Set success message for admin page.

$message = $this->__('Got an error');
Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/session')->addSuccess($message);
If you are unable to view the error/success message, add the function session_write_close() after setting message. I got such problem while using with redirect method. Nitroware solved this problem.Now the new snippet will look like below,

$message = $this->__('Got an error');
Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/session')->addError($message);
session_write_close();

Notice Message


By this way we can show notice message by using addNotice().

$message = $this->__('Please note this modification');
Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->addNotice($message);

    Hello Karthik,

    Thanks for the useful article.

    How can I display an error message when the user enters wrong login info (frontend) - when trying to login to the site? (where do I add the error message code)

    Thanks again

Convert long url to short url using tinyurl api

-
Tinyurl provides us a short and simple service to convert long URL to small(tiny) URL. We can send email without link breakage. Here is the tinyurl api to get shorten url. You can use any of the method. Method 1: Use file_get_contents to fetch tinyurl. echo file_get_contents('http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php?url=http://www.websnippetz.com'); file_get_contents is not working? If your are able to access php.ini file set allow_url_fopen = On or you can use the below method. Method 2: Use cURL (runs faster than file_get_contents) to fetch tinyurl. function get_tiny_url($url) { $url = "http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php?url={$url}"; $ch = curl_init(); $timeout = 5; curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$url); curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1); curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT,$timeout); $data = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); return $data; } echo get_tiny_url('http://www.websnippetz.com');
