Magento

I have multiple stores and I am trying to create a general footer that can be used across all of them.

What I need to do is get the current store name.

In the footer there will be “About StoreNameHere” and “Copyright 2008 StoreNameHere”

What function would I call to get this to work?

Thanks for any help.

Have you tried CMS Static Block ?

If you installed the data sample, there’s “footer link” block there…

Have you tried CMS Static Block ?

If you installed the data sample, there’s “footer link” block there…

I can use that, but that still does not solve the problem of one general footer.

If I have Website A and Website B, I would still need to create a static block for each website. That is what I am trying to avoid.

I just need to find a function call that will return the current store name to dynamically change the footer per website.

I have tried putting this in the footer: $this-getName();

This does not return anything though.

Is that not supposed to return the store name?

Hi,

block of page head /app/code/core/Mage/Page/Block/Html/Head.php is using this function to load title of store:

So you can create on Module with a special Block for printing your footer information.

Hi Stefan,

I tried your code, and it prints “Magento Commerce”, while my Store name is “Main Store”
How could this be?

I’m lost.

Hi,

please try this query in your DB

Hi,

go to configuration->design->html head and change standard title. This string is taken by this method
Not the store name is taken instead page title of website configuration. Sorry, i was wrong in my prior thread

cheers

Returns empty result set a.k.a. zero rows
what does this suppose to mean?

About the HTML Head… ==> it’s not the store name isn’t it ? it’s just the title in HTML head…

Thank you very much for helping me.

Hi,

yes right, its the standard html head. you can configure that for multible stores in configuration->design->html

Cheers

Thanks,

but what i need is the store name.
which is “Main Store”.

Wonder if you can help me.

Hi,

you can load store with this code. But you have to set the stroeid in load(). At the moment i dont know how else you can load name of current used store in frontend.

Cheers

I see. I’ll give it a try on Monday.
I’m faraway from my working computer now.
I’ll tell you the results soon.
Thank you !

I found that the CMS pages were not displaying the store title as set in System -> Manage Stores -> Store View Name -> Name.  Instead they would display only the page title, i.e., ’Home page‘, instead of ’Home page - Store Name‘.

I fixed this in ’app\code\core\Mage\Cms\Block\Page.php‘ by first copying it to ’app\code\local\Mage\Cms\Block\Page.php‘. 

Then I changed line 65 from
