In this Magento 2 tutorial, I explain how to uninstall Magento 2 modules. You have several uninstallation options, such as removing the modules’ code, database data, and database schema. I highly recommend you to create backups before doing any changes, because you will leave a chance to recover the data if something goes wrong.
Maintenance mode is a crucial part of every site launch; besides, there are tons of other situations when you can use it. Being an essential part of Magento 1.x development, maintenance mode is also available in Magento 2. Below, I will tell you how to enable it in a case of new platform.
Have you ever thought about why E-Commerce is more powerful than conventional retail? What makes it so powerful? Let’s recall the most evident reasons .
First, E-Commerce allows retailers to simultaneously reach millions of customers all over the world thanks to significant advances in the sphere of modern technologies. Second, E-Commerce provides the most convenient shopping experience allowing customers to purchase goods anywhere and anytime just in one click.

The process is almost similar to Magento 1, but you only have to rename local.xml.sample to local.xml within your pub/errors directory. Continue Reading
Unfortunately, the process is not as easy as in Magento 1 ($crumbs = Mage::app()->getLayout->getBlock(‘breadcrumbs’);). In Magento 2, it depends on where you are going to instantiate it from. To create an instance from another block, use the following code:
|
1 |
$this->getLayout()->createBlock('Full\Block\Class\Name\Here'); |
from a controller:
|
1 |
$this->_view->getLayout()->createBlock('Full\Block\Class\Name\Here'); |
from a model and a helper:
|
1 |
$this->_blockFactory->createBlock('Full\Block\Class\Name\Here'); |
Please note that in a case of the model you have to create _blockFactory (a protected member), and inject a \Magento\Framework\View\Element\BlockFactory instance in the constructor, assigning it to the member var. For instance:
|
1 |
protected $_blockFactory; public function __construct( ..., \Magento\Framework\View\Element\BlockFactory $blockFactory, .... ){ .... $this->_blockFactory = $blockFactory; .... } |
Since Magento strictly discourages the use of ObjectManager, there are service classes for abstracting it for all scenarios. Thus, you should use factory for all models (non-injectables):
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 |
protected $pageFactory; public function __construct(\Magento\Cms\Model\PageFactory $pageFactory) { $this->pageFactory = $pageFactory; } public function someFunc() { ... $page = $this->pageFactory->create(); ... } |
You only have to ask a desired model’s factory in a constructor. Hence, it will be automatically generated, while you run compiler or Magento. Continue Reading
Take your constructor and inject the model collection factory into it:
|
1 |
protected $mymodulemodelFactory; public function __construct( .... \[Namespace]\[Module]\Model\Resource\[Entity]\CollectionFactory $mymodulemodelFactory, ... ) { ... $this->mymodulemodelFactory = $mymodulemodelFactory; ... } |
It is possible to use it in any class method:
$collection = $this->mymodulemodelFactory->create(); Continue Reading
To enable Developer Mode in Magento 2, use SetEnv MAGE_MODE “developer” in your .htaccess file. Please note that this method works only in case when is situated in a proper <Directory> directive.
