<?php
 
$objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();
// simulate frontend  
$state = $objectManager->get('Magento\Framework\App\State');
$state->setAreaCode('frontend');
// Create customer on specific website scope
$storeManager = $objectManager->get('Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface');
$websiteId = $storeManager->getWebsite()->getWebsiteId()
// Create new customer and Save
$customer = $objectManager->get('Magento\Customer\Model\Customer');
$customer->setWebsiteId($websiteId);
$customer->setEmail("[email protected]");
$customer->setFirstname("John");
$customer->setLastname("Doe");
$customer->setPassword(‘152452652’);

$addresss = $objectManager->get('\Magento\Customer\Model\Address');
$address->setCustomerId($customer->getId())
->setFirstname("Demo")
->setLastname("Metagento")
->setCountryId('US')
->setPostcode("85000")
->setCity("City")
->setTelephone('0123456789')
->setFax('01234567')
->setCompany('Company')
->setStreet('Street')
->setIsDefaultBilling('1')
->setIsDefaultShipping('1')
->setSaveInAddressBook('1')
$address->save();

Hope above code can help you save a little time on coding. In case you want to add many customers, you can apply the part of the code in a loop

Magento 2 Manage Indexer using command line

Metagento 18 Apr , 2017 1 Comment Magento 2 indexer, indexing, magento, magento2, reindex magento, reindex magento 2

Indexing is how Magento transforms data ( products, categories … ), to improve the performance of your storefront.
Magento stores lots of data (including catalog data, prices, users, stores … ) in many database tables. To optimize storefront performance, Magento accumulates data into special tables using indexers.

For example, you change the price of an item from $4.99 to $3.99. Magento must reindex the price change to display it on your storefront.

Let’s see how to manage, refresh indexers in Magento 2 using command line via SSH

1. Magento 2 indexers

In default, there are 10 indexers:

  • Design Config Grid ( name: design_config_grid )
  • Customer Grid ( name : customer_grid )
  • Category products ( name: catalog_category_product )
  • Product categories ( name: catalog_product_category)
  • Product price ( name: catalog_product_price)
  • Product entity attribute value ( name: catalog_product_attribute)
  • Catalog search ( name: catalogsearch_fulltext)
  • Stock ( name: cataloginventory_stock)
  • Catalog rule product ( name: catalogrule_rule)
  • Catalog product rule ( name: catalogrule_product)

We can get indexer info using command:

1
php bin/magento indexer:info

2. Indexer status

An indexer status can be one of following:

  • valid: data is synchronized, no reindex required
  • invalid: the original data was changed, the index should be updated
  • working: indexing is in progress

We can get indexer status using command:

1
php bin/magento indexer:status

3. Indexing modes

Re-indexing can be performed in two modes:

  • Update on Save: index tables are updated immediately after the dictionary data ( product, category, store…) is changed.
  • Update by Schedule: index tables are updated by cron job according to the configured schedule.

We can check indexer’s mode using command:

1
php bin/magento indexer:show-mode

To change indexer mode, we use command

1
php bin/magento indexer:set-mode {realtime|schedule} [indexer-name]

“realtime” is equal to  “Update on Save” and “schedule” is equal to “Update by Schedule”.

4. Re-index

Besides using “System -> Index Management” in Magento backend, we also can re-index using command:

1
php bin/magento indexer:reindex [indexer-name]

We will get the result like:

1

3

Customer Grid index has been rebuilt successfully in <time>
Category Products index has been rebuilt successfully in <time>
Product Categories index has been rebuilt successfully in <time>
Product Price index has been rebuilt successfully in <time>
Product EAV index has been rebuilt successfully in <time>
Stock index has been rebuilt successfully in <time>
Catalog Rule Product index has been rebuilt successfully in <time>
Catalog Product Rule index has been rebuilt successfully in <time>
Catalog Search index has been rebuilt successfully in <time>

5. Reset indexer when it’s locked.

During re-index process, you may get the message like:

1
Stock index is locked by another reindex process. Skipping.

So we need to reset that indexer status to be able to re-index ( in this case, it’s “cataloginventory_stock” )

We can reset indexer using command:

1
php bin/magento indexer:reset [indexer-name]

That’s how we can manage Magento 2 indexers. Please leave a comment or contact us if you have any question.

Thank you!

Magento 2 Compile error: “No tokens were provided”

Metagento 20 Sep , 2016 0 comments Magento 2 compile, compile error, magento 2, magento2

Magento 2 Compile error: “No tokens were provided”

In Magento 2, when you run “setup:di:compile” you may get error message:

“No tokens were provided”

That error message is caused by an empty file. You can find it using command:

1
find . -type f -name '*.php' -empty

It usually comes from an additional extension, just delete the empty file and run compilation again using:

1
php bin/magento setup:di:compile

I hope this will help. If you have any question, leave a comment or contact us.

Thanks.

$helper = Mage::helper('cms');
$processor = $helper->getBlockTemplateProcessor();
$html = $processor->filter($content);
return $html;

However, in Magento 2, there is no BlockTemplateProcessor. We need to use this method instead:

/**

*/
protected $_storeManager;
    
/**
* @var \Magento\Cms\Model\Template\FilterProvider
*/
protected $_filterProvider;
 
 
$content = $model->getData('content');
return $this->_filterProvider->getBlockFilter()
            ->setStoreId($this->_storeManager->getStore()->getId())
            ->filter($content);

Hope this could help.

Magento 2 Send Email Programmatically

Metagento 18 Aug , 2016 3 Comments Magento 2 magento 2, Magento 2 send email programmatically, magento2, send email in magento 2, send email programmatically

Magento 2 send email programmatically – In this post, let’s find out how to send email programmatically in Magento 2. It will be useful for you in your custom module or new feature. What we need to do:

  • Create your email template in a html file.
  • Declare your email template.
  • Create a function to send your email.

We’re doing step by step:

Create new html file

/app/code/VendorName/ModuleName/view/frontend/email/modulename/test.html

with simple content:

1
2
3
4
5
<div>
 
Hello, this is a test email.
 
</div>

Declare your email template, create xml file

/app/code/VendorName/ModuleName/etc/email_templates.xml

with content:

1
2
3
4
5
<?xml version="1.0"?>
 
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:Magento:module:Magento_Email:etc/email_templates.xsd">
    <template id="modulename_test_template" label="Test email" file="modulename/test.html" type="html" module="VendorName_ModuleName" area="frontend"/>
</config>

Finally, create a function to send your email.

In this tutorial, we’re using a controller action. Create file:

/app/code/VendorName/ModuleName/Controller/Index/Sendemail.php

with content:

<?php
 
namespace VendorName\ModuleName\Controller;
 
use Magento\Framework\App\RequestInterface;
 
class Sendemail extends \Magento\Framework\App\Action\Action
{
    /**
     * @var \Magento\Framework\App\Request\Http
     */
    protected $_request;
    /**
     * @var \Magento\Framework\Mail\Template\TransportBuilder
     */
    protected $_transportBuilder;
    /**
     * @var \Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface
     */
    protected $_storeManager;
 
    public function __construct(
        \Magento\Framework\App\Action\Context $context
        , \Magento\Framework\App\Request\Http $request
        , \Magento\Framework\Mail\Template\TransportBuilder $transportBuilder
        , \Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface $storeManager
    )
    {
        $this->_request = $request;
        $this->_transportBuilder = $transportBuilder;
        $this->_storeManager = $storeManager;
        parent::__construct($context);
    }
 
    public function execute()
    {
        $store = $this->_storeManager->getStore()->getId();
        $transport = $this->_transportBuilder->setTemplateIdentifier('modulename_test_template')
            ->setTemplateOptions(['area' => 'frontend', 'store' => $store])
            ->setTemplateVars(
                [
                    'store' => $this->_storeManager->getStore(),
                ]
            )
            ->setFrom('general')
            // you can config general email address in Store -> Configuration -> General -> Store Email Addresses
            ->addTo('[email protected]', 'Customer Name')
            ->getTransport();
        $transport->sendMessage();
        return $this;
    }
}

You also can create this function in helper, model …
