How to create custom page layout in magento

To create a new custom column layout, you need to place a new file in the Magento theme. With the Magento default theme, you could use the folder app/design/frontend/default/default/template/page, but of course - when building your own site - it is recommended to have your own theme-directory.

In the tutorial, the file 1column.phtml is copied to the file 1columnfp.phtml (where "fp" stands for the front page). To make this new page reckognizable you wll need to add a new XML-definition. In the tutorial the following code is added to the file app/code/core/Mage/Page/etc/config.xml. copy this module in local exp app/code/local/Mage/Page/etc/config.xml

    1 column wide
    
    page_one_column_fp

However, with a Magento upgrade this change could be gone. The same XML could also be added to your app/etc/local.xml file instead:

Customizing Magento email templates

Don't edit them directly, because any Magento upgrade will override your changes. Instead, the purpose of these files is to override them. You can override these email templates either using the Magento Admin Panel, or by copying them to your Magento theme. The first approach allows for easy editing using the Magento Admin Panel, but this interface lacks nice editing features like syntax highlighting or code completion. Ofcourse, you can copy the textarea contents ofcourse to your local editor modify things there and copy the code back into the textarea once you're done.

Change order status in WooCommerce for specific payment method

Copy this code in your theme's function.php file

<?php
/* Reset status of new orders from "pending" to "completed" */
add_action( 'woocommerce_thankyou', 'changeOrderStatus' );
function changeOrderStatus($order_id) {
    global $woocommerce;
     if (!$order_id )

 $billing_paymethod = get_post_meta($order_id,'_payment_method',true);
  $order = new WC_Order( $order_id );
  /* put here your specific payment method */
 if($billing_paymethod == 'paypal')
 {
   /* put here your specific  order status */
       $order->update_status( 'completed' );
    }
    else
    {
     /* put here your specfic default order status for all payment method */
  $order->update_status( 'processing' );   
    }
}
?>
