Create a observer for that location: app/code/local/MyPackage/MyModule/Model/Observer.php

class MyPackage_MyModule_Model_Observer
{
    public function checkContacts($observer){
        $formId = 'contacts';

            $word = $this->_getCaptchaString($controller->getRequest(), $formId);
            if (!$captchaModel->isCorrect($word)) {
                Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->addError(Mage::helper('captcha')->__('Incorrect CAPTCHA.'));
                $controller->setFlag('', Mage_Core_Controller_Varien_Action::FLAG_NO_DISPATCH, true);
                $url =  Mage::getUrl('contacts');
                $controller->getResponse()->setRedirect($url);
            }
        }
        return $this;
    }
    /**

     *

     * @param string $formId

    protected function _getCaptchaString($request, $formId)
    {
        $captchaParams = $request->getPost(Mage_Captcha_Helper_Data::INPUT_NAME_FIELD_VALUE);
        return $captchaParams[$formId];
    }
}

class MyPackage_MyModule_Model_Observer

{

public function checkContacts($observer){

$formId = 'contacts';

$captchaModel = Mage::helper('captcha')->getCaptcha($formId);

if ($captchaModel->isRequired()) {

$controller = $observer->getControllerAction();

$word = $this->_getCaptchaString($controller->getRequest(), $formId);

if (!$captchaModel->isCorrect($word)) {

Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->addError(Mage::helper('captcha')->__('Incorrect CAPTCHA.'));

$controller->setFlag('', Mage_Core_Controller_Varien_Action::FLAG_NO_DISPATCH, true);

$url = Mage::getUrl('contacts');

$controller->getResponse()->setRedirect($url);

}

return $this;

}

Create a local.xml to your active theme inside layout folder.

<layout version="0.1.0">
<contacts_index_index>
    <reference name="contactForm">
        <action method="setTemplate"><template>mymodule/contacts/form.phtml</template></action>
        <block type="core/text_list" name="form.additional.info">
            <block type="captcha/captcha" name="captcha">
                <reference name="head">
                    <action method="addJs"><file>mage/captcha.js</file></action>
                </reference>
                <action method="setFormId"><formId>contacts</formId></action>
                <action method="setImgWidth"><width>230</width></action>
                <action method="setImgHeight"><width>50</width></action>
            </block>
        </block>
    </reference>
</contacts_index_index>

<contacts_index_index>

<action method="setTemplate"><template>mymodule/contacts/form.phtml</template></action>

<action method="addJs"><file>mage/captcha.js</file></action>

</reference>

<action method="setFormId"><formId>contacts</formId></action>

</block>

</reference>

</contacts_index_index>

Now copy contacts/form.phtml to mymodule/contacts/form.phtml, add

How to enable or disable modules in magento2

Posted: February 21, 2018
/ By: Kien Wiliam
/ In: Knowledgebase

You can always use CLI command for managing modules. Disable module:

$ bin/magento module:disable Vendor_ModuleName

1	$ bin/magento module:disable Vendor_ModuleName

Enable module:

$ bin/magento module:enable Vendor_ModuleName

1	$ bin/magento module:enable Vendor_ModuleName

And you can check status of all modules:

$ bin/magento module:status

1	$ bin/magento module:status

It is useful to build a habit of controlling your installation via bin/magento. Also it will help to avoid any new features introduced for module commands. Hope it helps !

How to get selected shipping method in magento

Posted: February 6, 2018

/ In: Knowledgebase

Magento 1 :

//get shipping method
Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session')->getQuote()->getShippingAddress()->getShippingMethod()
//get shipping descriptions
Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session')->getQuote()->getShippingAddress()->getShippingDescription();
//get shipping data
Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session')->getQuote()->getShippingAddress()->getData();

//get shipping method

Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session')->getQuote()->getShippingAddress()->getShippingMethod()

//get shipping descriptions

Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session')->getQuote()->getShippingAddress()->getShippingDescription();

//get shipping data

Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session')->getQuote()->getShippingAddress()->getData();

Magento 2 : You can do this by calling the \Magento\Checkout\Model\Session. Add it to your constructor and get it by using this code :

protected $_checkoutSession;

public function __construct(
    \Magento\Checkout\Model\Session $checkoutSession
){
    $this->_checkoutSession = $checkoutSession;
}

//call you code in the methos somewehre like this :
//get shipping method
$this->_checkoutSession->getQuote()->getShippingAddress()->getShippingMethod();
//get shipping descriptions
$this->_checkoutSession->getQuote()->getShippingAddress()->getShippingDescription();
//get shipping data
$this->_checkoutSession->getQuote()->getShippingAddress()->getData();

protected $_checkoutSession;

public function __construct(

\Magento\Checkout\Model\Session $checkoutSession

){

$this->_checkoutSession = $checkoutSession;

}

//call you code in the methos somewehre like this :

//get shipping method

$this->_checkoutSession->getQuote()->getShippingAddress()->getShippingMethod();

//get shipping descriptions

$this->_checkoutSession->getQuote()->getShippingAddress()->getShippingDescription();

//get shipping data

$this->_checkoutSession->getQuote()->getShippingAddress()->getData();

Or you can get by Object Manager Instance by using this code :

//Get Object Manager Instance
$objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();
//Get checkout Session by Object Manager Instance
$checkoutSession = $objectManager->create('\Magento\Checkout\Model\Session');
//get shipping method
$checkoutSession->getQuote()->getShippingAddress()->getShippingMethod();
//get shipping descriptions
$checkoutSession->getQuote()->getShippingAddress()->getShippingDescription();
//get shipping data
$checkoutSession->getQuote()->getShippingAddress()->getData();

//Get Object Manager Instance

$objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();

//Get checkout Session by Object Manager Instance

$checkoutSession = $objectManager->create('\Magento\Checkout\Model\Session');

//get shipping method

$checkoutSession->getQuote()->getShippingAddress()->getShippingMethod();

//get shipping descriptions

$checkoutSession->getQuote()->getShippingAddress()->getShippingDescription();

//get shipping data

$checkoutSession->getQuote()->getShippingAddress()->getData();
