<reference name="left">
<block type="wordpress/post_list_recent" name="wp.recent-posts" template="wordpress/post/recent.phtml">
<action method="setTitle"><title>Recent Posts</title></action>
<action method="setPostCount"><post_count>3</post_count></action>
</block>
</reference>

per semplicità aggiungere solo il codice seguente dentro ai reference già presenti nel template XML (es: page.xml)

<block type="wordpress/post_list_recent" name="wp.recent-posts" template="wordpress/post/recent.phtml">
<action method="setTitle"><title>Recent Posts</title></action>
<action method="setPostCount"><post_count>3</post_count></action>
</block>

è necessario customizzare il relativo file phtml in relazione al proprio design.

Per aggiungere i prodotti random in una pagina cms di Magento:

{{block type="catalog/product_list_random" category_id="12" template="catalog/product/list.phtml"}}

ERROR:
Fatal error: Call to undefined method Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Widget::getrowurl() in …..app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/Block/Widget/Grid.php on line 1607

SOLUZIONE:

nel file app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/Block/Widget/Grid.php

sostituire alla riga 1620 questo

public function getRowUrl($item)
{
$res = parent::getRowUrl($item);
return ($res ? $res : ‘#’);
}

con questo:

public function getRowUrl($item)
{
$res = parent::getUrl($item);
return ($res ? $res : ‘#’);
}

Mi si è presentato questo report:
a:5:{i:0;s:79:"Invalid backend model specified: onsale/entity_attribute_backend_boolean_config";i:1;s:2060:"#0 /var/www/vhosts/ecobaby.it/httpdocs/new/app/code/core/Mage/Eav/Model/Entity/Attribute/Abstract.php(338): Mage::exception('Mage_Eav', 'Invalid backend...')

che dipende dal vecchio modulo di AheadWorks “OnSale” l’ho risolto postano nel database questa query:

SELECT *
FROM `ecobaby_new`.`eav_attribute`
WHERE (
`attribute_id` LIKE '%onsale%'
OR `entity_type_id` LIKE '%onsale%'
OR `attribute_code` LIKE '%onsale%'
OR `attribute_model` LIKE '%onsale%'
OR `backend_model` LIKE '%onsale%'
OR `backend_type` LIKE '%onsale%'
OR `backend_table` LIKE '%onsale%'
OR `frontend_model` LIKE '%onsale%'
OR `frontend_input` LIKE '%onsale%'
OR `frontend_label` LIKE '%onsale%'
OR `frontend_class` LIKE '%onsale%'
OR `source_model` LIKE '%onsale%'
OR `is_required` LIKE '%onsale%'
OR `is_user_defined` LIKE '%onsale%'
OR `default_value` LIKE '%onsale%'
OR `is_unique` LIKE '%onsale%'
OR `note` LIKE '%onsale%'
)
LIMIT 0 , 30

change split with explode

on php 5.3 split is

deprecated

Unable to access to admin area.
Login is correct and no error shows:

This solution finally helped me out of this problem. The solution was to modify the core Magento code. Open app/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/Session/Abstract/Varien.php. Comment out the lines 80 to 83. The line number may vary according to the Magento version. But these lines are present somewhere near line 80. You have to comment the comma (,) in line: $this->getCookie()->getPath()//,
// set session cookie params
session_set_cookie_params(
$this->getCookie()->getLifetime(),
$this->getCookie()->getPath()//,
//$this->getCookie()->getDomain(),
//$this->getCookie()->isSecure(),
//$this->getCookie()->getHttponly()
);

Well, I am out of this problem. Hope, this solution you also help you.

Update (For Magento 1.4.*)

In Magento 1.4, you have to comment code from line 86 to 98 in app/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/Session/Abstract/Varien.php. Like this:-
/* if (!$cookieParams['httponly']) {
unset($cookieParams['httponly']);
if (!$cookieParams['secure']) {
unset($cookieParams['secure']);
if (!$cookieParams['domain']) {
unset($cookieParams['domain']);
}
}
}

if (isset($cookieParams['domain'])) {
$cookieParams['domain'] = $cookie->getDomain();
} */
