Magento webservice

Magento provides webservice with the ability to manage your eCommerce stores by providing calls for working with resources such as customers, categories, products, and sales orders. It also allows you to manage shopping carts and inventory.

A SOAP v2 API version has been available since Magento 1.3, and a WS-I compliant version has been available since Magento 1.6.

The Magento API supports SOAP and XML-RPC, where SOAP is the default protocol.

With SOAP api,
To connect to Magento SOAP web services, load the WSDL into your SOAP client from either of these URLs:
http://hostname/api/soap/?wsdl
where hostname  is the domain for your Magento host

As of v1.3, you may also use the following URL to access the Magento API v2, which has been added to improve compatibility with Java and .NET:
http://magentohost/api/v2_soap?wsdl=1

The following PHP example shows how to make SOAP calls to the Magento API v1:

require_once('app/Mage.php');
Mage::app();

 
try {

 $client = new SoapClient('http://hostname/api/soap/?wsdl', array('cache_wsdl' => WSDL_CACHE_NONE)); 

 $token = $client->login('APIUSERNAME',"APIKEY");

        $result = $client->call($token, 'customer.info', 'CUSTOMERID');

        $result = $client->call($session, 'sales_order.info', 'orderIncrementId');



        $result = $client->call($session, 'order.list');

 var_dump($result);

}

catch (Exception $e) { //while an error has occured

 echo "==> Error: ".$e->getMessage()." - code: ".$e->getCode(); //we print this

}

Here, we need to login to soap client with api username and api key. 
The APIUSERNAME' and APIKEY can be managed from the magento backend. For that, go to magento admin panel and to System - Webservices menu as shown below:



And add new user with api username and password and assign roles to it.

Finally, for the soap api to work, we need to enable soap extension on our server.

Prestashop Add canonical and hreflang for multi-language website

The cannonical and hreflang tags are useful if our store is multi-language. It avoids duplication of url for each store and helps the site SEO by mentioning the url of different languages. This will indicate to the google crawlers which is the alternative link for each languages and / or geographical areas where the online store and the canonical url of the product are available, category, manufacturer list, which in many cases will be very useful. We can add the cannonical and hreflang tags on prestashop at the header.tpl template file. The template files are under theme/yourthemename folder.

Special Character (Zero-width joiner)

The zero-width joiner (ZWJ) is a non-printing character used in the computerized typesetting of some complex scripts such as the Arabic script or any Indic script. When placed between two characters that would otherwise not be connected, a ZWJ causes them to be printed in their connected forms. It means it doesnot take additional space. It is   &zwj; Useful when we need to output some html that don't need space. In some editors like tinymce, when we put the html that don't contain space then it will not save that html and will remove it from editor. For eg: <a href=".."></a> When we try to save the above html on tinymce editor, it will remove it from the content because it doen't have any character inside it. So, to overcome that problem we can use this special zero-width joiner character in between. It is a character that don't output extra space.  <a href="..">&zwj;</a> Happy coding!!!
