To insincere sales it is important that your store must be user friendly where user easily find his/ her needed product and easily navigate in store.

one of important page in magento is to display subcategory of main category. i.e let\’s assume we have store with category Women and we are selling all products which was related to women so it is preferable if we bifurcate all products so customer can easily find product.

Below is the code for display all sub-category of parent category.

$layerobject = Mage::getSingleton('catalog/layer');
$_category = $layerobject->getCurrentCategory();
$currentCategoryId= $_category->getId();
$childrencategory = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->getCategories($currentCategoryId);
foreach ($childrencategory as $category)
{
echo $category->getName();
echo $category->getRequestPath();
}

Magento is an ecommerce platform built on open source technology and which use MVC system. It is managing all request response using Model, View and Controller. So, all view file call base on controller mapping as per there configuration in layout/*.xml file.

Layout file is use to define phtml file on specific module request. Let’s say if we want to add top link in magento at that time we need to use below code.

Add custom link to top link in magento


<block type="page/template_links" name="top.links" as="topLinks">
<action method="addLink" translate="label title">
<label>Blog</label>
<url>/blog</url>
<title>Blog</title>
<prepare></prepare>
<urlparams></urlparams>
<position>1</position>
</action>
</block>

<block type="page/template_links" name="top.links" as="topLinks">
<action method="addLink" translate="label title">
<label>Blog</label>
<url>/blog</url>
<title>Blog</title>
