How to get list page mode using cookies in magento?

I want to know that which listing mode is running i.e. grid or list using cookie in magento. I hope magento already setting up cookies for list mode :)

Any Idea?

Solution

  • This line of code taken from app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Block/Product/List/Toolbar.php:523 should get you something like this:

    Mage::getSingleton('catalog/session')->getDisplayMode()

    And in the exact same file, above line 517:

    if ($mode == $defaultMode) {
    Mage::getSingleton('catalog/session')->unsDisplayMode();
}

    So, that means that, if you have nothing from the code Mage::getSingleton('catalog/session')->getDisplayMode(), you are in the default mode (the one configured as the default in your admin or in your template.)

    To understand the full logic please have a look at Mage::getSingleton('catalog/session')->getDisplayMode()

    And depending on where you are trying to do that you can also try

    $this->getChild('toolbar')->getCurrentMode();

    As in app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Block/Product/List.php:130
