How to remove sign in popup from Magento 2 checkout page?

Magento2 has this authentication pop up on checkout page, which many store owners wont like to see on their checkout page.

Background of this pop up area and Related files

The pop up itself is generated by Magento_Customer::account/authentication-popup.phtml

But this pop up works very differently on checkout page. In fact this is a separate pop up than the one you see in header area. It is embedded in a series of js files which are governed by knockout-js

Other file responsible is: vendor/magento/module-checkout/view/frontend/web/js/proceed-to-checkout.js

Here is how to remove it finally

Edit file or overload the file

app/design/frontend/YourVendor/YourTheme/Magento_Checkout/web/template/onepage.html

delete the following lines and save the file

<!-- ko foreach: getRegion('authentication') -->
<!-- ko template: getTemplate() --><!-- /ko -->
<!--/ko-->

How to show correct item count in Magento 2 Checkout Order summary?

By default, app/design/Magento/Checkout/view/frontend/web/template/summary/cart-items.html file is being used
Or vendor/magento/module-checkout/view/frontend/web/template/summary/cart-items.html

To overload this file, create file cart-items.html in your theme folder. Make sure you place the file in Magento_Checkout/web/template/summary/

Edit the line 

<span data-bind="text: getCartLineItemsCount()"></span>

And replace it with

<span data-bind="text: getItemsQty()"></span>

How to dump all options for any attribute in Magento 2 programmatically?

The following code does not adhere to Magento’s developer recommendations. Using object manager in such a way externally is a TERRIBLE idea.

<?php
header("Location: /");exit;
use \Magento\Framework\App\Bootstrap;
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set("display_errors", 1);
include('./app/bootstrap.php');
$bootstrap     = Bootstrap::create(BP, $_SERVER);
$objectManager = $bootstrap->getObjectManager();

$eavConfig = $objectManager->get('\Magento\Eav\Model\Config');
$attribute = $eavConfig->getAttribute('catalog_product', 'manufacturer');
$options   = $attribute->getSource()->getAllOptions();
$options   = array_slice($options, 1);
usort($options, function($a, $b)
{
    return strcasecmp($a['label'], $b['label']);
});
if (count($options))
    $v = "<table>";
foreach ($options as $option) {
    $v .= "<tr><td>" . $option['value'] . '</td><td>' . $option['label'] . '</td></tr>';
}
if (count($options))
    $v .= "</table>";
echo $v;
?>
   <style>
    table tr:nth-child(odd){background:#444;color:#fff}
   </style>

Top CMS out there in 2018.

CMS:

A content management system is a software that helps us to manage our content and site.

You can literally manage everything from a blog to an e-commerce site, using CMS. You can manage an article if you have a blog, or manage your product if it is an e-commerce business.

It has made our life so easier that we just can’t imagine having a site without CMS. You can operate most CMS out there even if you have no prior technical knowledge.

Today we are going to talk about the top CMS in 2018, there features, flexibility and specifications because that’s what they are known for.

So, without any further delay let’s begin.

Top CMS:

It can make anything under the sun. WordPress is the framework behind many of the websites and blogs you visit every day, including this one. .org Few of the key features are responsive design, social sharing features, multiple page styles, auto upgrade, and standard compliant coding. The one thing that makes it a CMS beast is plugins.
  2. Joomla: Joomla is a popular Content Management System. It is much more than just a powerful content management system. Besides, hundreds of extensions to enhance the functionality of any Joomla website, Joomla itself includes some powerful built-in features (or core features). Many times ranked as the 2nd best CMS after WP. zoomla Few key features are Rss, media manager, web links, search, banner management and, user management.
  3. Drupal: Drupal 8 takes an already terrific content management framework to ever greater heights for users, administrators, and developers. There’s a seriously sharp focus on user-friendliness, but the content presentation, new ways to create data structures, build APIs, multilingual capabilities, and the delivery of mobile accessibility out of the box? Drupal 8 brings those to the table too.  Few of the features are mobile first, multilingual ready, loading speed, javascript automated testing.
  4. Magento: Specific to make an e-commerce site. The large array of features is one of the main benefits of Magento. Through them, you can easily develop and manage a successful online store. Magento features like different payment engines and shipping options along with the international support and high security using an  SSL certificate will make your shop an attractive place for e-commerce.  The core features are checkout payment and shipping, analytics and reporting, marketing and promotional tools, and order management.
  5. OpenCart: OpenCart is an open-source shopping cart built on PHP/MySQL code. Distributed as a free eCommerce solution, OpenCart is a very user-friendly and effective platform that comes with a very intuitive and well-designed user-interface as well as a higher selection of extensions. Perfect for small businesses and medium-sized e-commerce stores, OpenCart is loaded with all the basic functions a user would need from an e-commerce solution.  Main features are, Product Reviews, Product Ratings, open source, multi-currency, automated image resize, 20+ payment gateways, and 8+ shipping methods.

Fix Magento 2 – php cli error on cpanel or other hostings

The problem:

On a fresh install of Magento2 on cpanel based hosting, you receive the following error while running any command on SSH

[[email protected] www]$ php bin/magento cache:clean
X-Powered-By: PHP/7.0.31
Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

bin/magento must be run as a CLI application
[[email protected] www]$ php bin/magento setup:upgrade
X-Powered-By: PHP/7.0.31
Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

bin/magento must be run as a CLI application

The Solution:

You have to point php to correct binary;
Use the following code in order:
First, open the file which can alter the runtime variables like .bash_profile or .bashrc

cd ~ ; nano .bash_profile
OR
cd ~ ;nano .bashrc

Go to last line and paste this (depending upon php version change ea-php71 or ea-php70): 

alias php='/opt/cpanel/ea-php71/root/usr/bin/php'

Save the file and exit the editor.
Log out and login again OR use the following command 

$ source ~/.bashrc

If you are not sure about current php version, use which php or php -v command. If you think the cpanel configuration is the issue, fix EasyApache 4 PHP cli issue. With this way you can fix the setting and enable the new php version

How to get all attributes with all available labels/options in Magento2?

I did a lot of research but could not find a solution for that. so gathered some info and created this code: (it is not the best way to do it, but it works – you can use it at least one time for quick results)
the values need to be transformed if you want to see them properly in csv

Here is how to print all available attributes in backend and along with their all available options aka labels

<?php
        use \Magento\Framework\App\Bootstrap;
        error_reporting(E_ALL);
        ini_set("display_errors",1);
        include('./app/bootstrap.php');
        $bootstrap = Bootstrap::create(BP, $_SERVER);
        $objectManager = $bootstrap->getObjectManager();
        //use Magento\Catalog\Model\ResourceModel\Product\Attribute\CollectionFactory;
        $collection= $objectManager->get('\Magento\Catalog\Model\ResourceModel\Product\Attribute\CollectionFactory')->create();
//$attr_groups = array();
$fta=array();
$ft=array();
        foreach ($collection as $items) {
                        $attr_groups = $items->getData();
                                                if($attr_groups['frontend_input']=="select" or $attr_groups['frontend_input']=="multiselect"){
$eav=$objectManager->get('\Magento\Eav\Model\Config')->getAttribute('catalog_product',$attr_groups['attribute_code'])->getSource()->getAllOptions();
$ft[]=$attr_groups['frontend_label'];
$ft[]=$attr_groups['attribute_code'];
//echo $attr_groups['attribute_code'].'<br>'.$attr_groups['frontend_input'].'<br>'.$attr_groups['frontend_label'].'<br>'.$attr_groups['attribute_id'].'<br>';
foreach($eav as $getlabel) {
        if(is_object($getlabel['label'])){
        $r = new ReflectionObject($getlabel['label']);
$p = $r->getProperty('text');
//echo $p;
$p->setAccessible(true);
        $ft[]= $p->getValue($getlabel['label']);
        }
        else
        $ft[]= $getlabel['label'];
}
$fta[]=$ft;
$ft=array();
}
