How to Remove SID (SESSION_ID) from URL in Magento 2

/in /by

First of all we have know about SID (SESSION_ID) in magento2:

The SID is a “session ID”. Magento uses this to track a user’s activity within the same Magento installation. Normally, Magento powers one website and one store from one installation (database).

Magento could power multiple websites with multiple stores from one installation though. The SID allows users to stay logged in while navigating across these websites/stores.

I think if you have the function enabled, the SID is sent when accessing catalog URLs so Magento can update the session with the user’s location/state for the current website/store.

If you’re not running a multi-website or multi-store environment, it’s safe to disable the SID on the frontend.

 

Below is the settings you need to change

Go to the Store > Configuration > General > Web > Session Validation Settings > Use SID on Storefront and set its value to No

How to remove compare link on Magento2 header

To remove the compare link from the header in Magento 2, you can follow these steps: First, create a custom module if you haven’t already. Inside your module, create a di.xml file under app/code/[Vendor]/[Module]/etc/frontend/ and use the Magento\Catalog\Block\Product\Compare\Link block class to remove the compare link. You can achieve this by adding the following code to your di.xml file:

<type name="Magento\Catalog\Block\Product\Compare\Link">
<arguments>
<argument name="template" xsi:type="string">Magento_Catalog::empty.phtml</argument>
</arguments>
</type>
This code will effectively remove the compare link from the header by overriding its template with an empty file. After that, clear the Magento cache using the command php bin/magento cache:clean. This will ensure that the changes take effect, removing the compare link from your store’s header.

How to Export Magento Product Database

/in , /by

In this tutorial I will show you how you can export entire Magento product database.
Most people can find their way to the standard Export options under System -> Import/Export, but that often doesn’t produce the results they’re expecting. A better approach is to use the Dataflow – Profiles that Magento provides. These out-of-the-box export “profiles” take care of a lot of the configurations you will need to make if you use the standard Magento Export option. Depending on the data you wish to export there are options for customers, products and stock.
In this post, we are going to look specifically at the Export All Products option.

We are going to use Magento Data-Profiles to Export your entire product database:

1-Navigate to System -> Import/Export -> Data-Profiles

2- Select Export All Products:

3- Review your options in the Profile Wizard. You may wish to change the name of your export file under File Information -> File Name.

4. To define which product attributes you wish to export for each product, under Profile Wizard -> Data Format -> Export you can choose to export All Fields, or select specific product attributes you wish to export by selecting Only Mapped Fields and selecting your required attributes.

5. To define a specific range of products you wish to export under Profile Wizard -> Export Filters -> you can filter your products by name, sku, product type, attribute set, price, stock quantity, visibility or status. Save and Continue Edit, and we’re ready to export.

6. Now that the parameters for your export are set, choose the Run Profile tab and click the Run Profile in Popup button. Your export will start automatically in a pop up window.

7. Once your export is complete, you now need to retrieve it from your server via SFTP. If you are unsure of how to connect to your server, please contact your hosting provider or web support. We recommend Filezilla as a good FTP program you could use.

8. Once logged into ftp, you will find you exported csv file waiting for you inside the var/export folder. Download the file, and there you have it!

 

How to put Magento in Maintenance Mode only for Front end

/in , /by

In this tutorial we will show you how to put your Magento online store in maintenance mode only for front end site. The admin can access the site without any issue

To put a Magento site in maintenance mode, you need to create an empty maintenance.flag file and upload it to the root folder of your site.

When you will upload maintenance.flag file then your website will be down and will show the error message

Service temporarily unavailable.

So for this message will show for all types of users. Now we will come to point and restrict the above message only for front users. For this follow the below instructions :

You need to replace the below code in index.php file (keep in mind when you will upgrade the site site then you must revert this process).

if (file_exists($maintenanceFile)) {
include_once dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/errors/503.php’;
exit;
}

To this

if (file_exists($maintenanceFile) && strpos($_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’], ‘/admin/’) === false) {
include_once dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/errors/503.php’;
exit;
}

Please note the the code above is quick and dirty hack and I just check if /admin/ exists in url. If you have another url then you should replace with that.
