Adds a new Global Handle to layouts to override anything as a final layout directive
Magento's default layout loading order is as such:
default
STORE_bare_us
THEME_frontend_default_default
helloworld_index_index
customer_logged_out
The issue is that there is no 'last' global layout handle that allows you to make a change to any previous layout directive.
An example of such a requirement is to have the ability to globally change all the root templates
This module simply injects a new layout handle as the last layout handle called
<GLOBAL_OVERRIDE>
Using this, it is, for example possible to override all page layouts to one base template, as apart from having to refer to eache handle seperately.
<GLOBAL_OVERRIDE>
<reference name="root">
<action method="setTemplate"><template>page/3columns.phtml</template></action>
<action method="setIsHandle"><applied>1</applied></action>
</reference>
</GLOBAL_OVERRIDE>
This then effectively makes the entire site 3columns, and no page is accidentally missed, and display in the wrong column structure.
The following handles are also now injected:
CMS_<PAGE_NAME> : example CMS_about_us<br/>
CATEGORY_<name> : example CATEGORY_best_sellers<br/>
Inject a new handle based on the given GET or POST variable called 'dynamic' An example would be to inject a new handle to display a custom registration page In this example we called it 'slim'
/customer/account/create/dynamic/slim/ is the url used
which will inject a new handle called : slim_dynamic_handle which you can target via layout xml:
<slim_dynamic_handle translate="label">
<update name="customer_account_create"/>
<label>Customer Account Slim Registration Form</label>
<!-- Mage_Customer -->
<remove name="right"/>
<remove name="left"/>
<remove name="header"/>
<remove name="footer"/>
<reference name="head">
<action method="addCss"><stylesheet>css/slim.css</stylesheet></action>
</reference>
<reference name="root">
<action method="setTemplate"><template>page/1column.phtml</template></action>
</reference>
<reference name="customer_form_register">
<action method="setTemplate"><template>customer/form/slim.phtml</template></action>
</reference>
</slim_dynamic_handle>
The end result of the above would be a scaled down version of the account registration, with its own template file, css etc
Another example would be to add a new field (example a coupon field) to the registration form:
/customer/account/create/dynamic/coupon/ is the url used
then in local.xml you can use:
<coupon_dynamic_handle translate="label">
<update name="customer_account_create"/>
<reference name="customer_form_register">
<block type="customer/form_register" name="form.additional.info" template="customer/form/fields/coupon.phtml"/>
<remove name="inchoo_socialconnect_register"/>
</reference>
</coupon_dynamic_handle>
which will inject the template customer/form/fields/coupon.phtml into the registration form
The template itself would simply the the field:
<li class="fields">
<div class="field">
<label for="email_address" class="required"><em>*</em><?php echo $this->__('Enter Coupon') ?>
</label>
<div class="input-box">
<input autocomplete="off" placeholder="<?php echo $this->__('Enter Your Coupon Here') ?>" type="text"
name="coupon" id="coupon"
value="<?php echo $this->escapeHtml($this->getFormData()->getCoupon()) ?>"
title="<?php echo $this->__('Coupon') ?>"
class="input-text required-entry"/>
</div>
</div>
</li>
