Anyway, nice job with this blog,man. I found it very useful. Keep up the good work!

$cSingleton = Mage::getSingleton(’catalog/product’);
echo ”;
echo ‘Product name:’;
echo $cSingleton->getName();
echo ”;

but I still can’t figure out how to retrieve the name of the product on the page from within the breadcrumbs. Anybody?

$idParams = $this->getRequest()->getParam(’id’);
$cModel = Mage::getModel(’catalog/product’);
$cModel->load($idParams);
print_r($cModel->getSku());

but even when I’m not on a product page, it still takes the ID of the page I’m on and runs it agains the product database and returns an SKU for whatever product I have that is matching up to the category page I’m on id-wise.

Is there a different way to find what the current product is that’s being displayed?

Thank You so much for your tutorials. They are straightforward and easy to read, unlike the offical source.

i need a bit explanation on this sentence of your post in sense of custom modules:

” In short getModel(’catalog/product’) says go into the /app/code/core/Mage/ folder, open the folder named product, and create an instance of Product.php file located inside the Model subfolder (to be more precise, create the instance of the class cotained inside the Product.php file).”

you told in above that getModel(’catalog/product’) will tell megento to pick the module from Mage but what if i need to pick data through my custom module, how i’ll explicitly mention if it is Mage module or my custom module. Will it automatically map getModule(’abc/model’) ?

please explain,
thanks
