Writing Magento Modules

All custom modules should have a Namespace and Module Name. These are used below as {Namespace} and {Module}.

Caution: The Magento autoloader is known to have problems with CamelCase namespaces and/or modules between Windows and *nix systems. If your module requires more than one word for either of these, it is best to just concatenate them to avoid any issues (Example: {Namespace}_{Examplemodule}).

Magento Snippets

Set all categories to is_anchor 1

Find attribute_id

SELECT * FROM eav_attribute where attribute_code = 'is_anchor'

Update all of them with anchor_id from above (usually is ID 51)

UPDATE `catalog_category_entity_int` set value = 1 where attribute_id = 51
