Cookie Restriction Mode Translation

Question

With latest release, CE 1.8.1 cookie_restriction_notice_block went to before_body_end in layout (/app/design/frontend/base/default/layout/page.xml). But users don’t realize about that notice nor that they are expected to allow cookies.

I used this code to easily unset global_cookie_notice block from before_body_end and set it in after_body_start in layout file local.xml in my theme:

    <reference name="before_body_end">
        <action method="unsetChild"><name>global_cookie_notice</name></action>    
    </reference>

    <reference name="after_body_start">
        <block type="page/html_cookieNotice" name="global_cookie_notice" as ="global_cookie_notice" template="page/html/cookienotice.phtml" before="-" />
    </reference>`

However, I can’t figure out how to translate for different store views. Changing text as usual in CMS block in the admin (cookie_restriction_notice_block) for different store views didn't work for me.

How can I translate cookie_restriction_notice_block for different store views?

Answer 1

in app/code/core/Mage/Page/Block/Html/CookieNotice.php:

$block = Mage::getModel('cms/block')->load($blockIdentifier, 'identifier');

Before loading the block, you should set Store ID:

$block = Mage::getModel('cms/block')->setStoreId(Mage::app()->getStore()->getId())->load($blockIdentifier, 'identifier');

You can use your local app/code/local/Mage/Page/Block/Html/CookieNotice.php

This block is installed by the CMS module to the default store scope in app/code/core/Mage/Cms/data/cms_setup/data-upgrade-1.6.0.0.1-1.6.0.0.2.php:

$content = "<p>This website requires cookies to provide all of its features. For more " .
    "information on what data is contained in the cookies, please see our " .
    "<a href=\"{{store direct_url=\"privacy-policy-cookie-restriction-mode\"}}\">Privacy Policy page</a>. " .
    "To accept cookies from this site, please click the Allow button below.</p>";

$cmsBlock = array(
    'title'         => 'Cookie restriction notice',
    'identifier'    => 'cookie_restriction_notice_block',
    'content'       => $content,
    'is_active'     => 1,
    'stores'        => 0
);

Mage::getModel('cms/block')->setData($cmsBlock)->save();

The translated versions you are trying to create in the admin will work as long as they are limited to the appropriate store scope.

NB: The parameters of the data load can be debugged in Mage_Cms_Model_Resource_Block::_getLoadSelect().

Something else is going on, because the CMS blocks are explicitly loaded based on store scope. Can you check in the cms_block_store table for the store_id value of the English version? – benmarks♦ Feb 19 '14 at 13:12

No, CMS blocks are not loaded explicitly on store scope. The load() methods ends in a fetchRow($select) call, that just returns the first row (see Mage_Core_Model_Resource_Db_Abstract::load()). In this case the block added from install script.

The Mage_Cms_Model_Resource_Block::_getLoadSelect() method needs a store ID set to join cms_block_store table. Without setting store ID $object->getStoreId() is NULL ...

/**
 * Retrieve select object for load object data
 *
 * @param string $field
 * @param mixed $value
 * @param Mage_Cms_Model_Block $object
 * @return Zend_Db_Select
 */
protected function _getLoadSelect($field, $value, $object)
{
    $select = parent::_getLoadSelect($field, $value, $object);

    if ($object->getStoreId()) {
        $stores = array(
            (int) $object->getStoreId(),
            Mage_Core_Model_App::ADMIN_STORE_ID,
        );

        $select->join(
            array('cbs' => $this->getTable('cms/block_store')),
            $this->getMainTable().'.block_id = cbs.block_id',
            array('store_id')
        )->where('is_active = ?', 1)
        ->where('cbs.store_id in (?) ', $stores)
        ->order('store_id DESC')
        ->limit(1);
    }

    return $select;
}

... a bug, that still exists :( Think https://magento.stackexchange.com/a/18380/46249 is correct ...
