The Code

$catid = 4;
$_category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($catid);

if($_category->getUrlPath() !== NULL) {

// Your code here

}

This particular script utilises custom fields created by Advanced Custom Fields. As such it isn’t a plug-and-play function, it will require some customisation, but it’s a good place to get started.

The data is saved to a post where you see the update_field function in use, for example:

update_field('field_63', $eventid, $existingid);

We’re both very excited by this new prospect and are looking forward to some great new projects, all of which we can proudly say are made by Platførm!

There are two scenarios you may face when setting up Git on Coda 2; you have just started a project, so your project folder is empty, or, you have already slaved away creating your code, and your project folder is packed full of the stuff.

Anyway, let’s get started. I’m going to assume that you already have git installed on your mac, you’re familiar with using Coda 2, and you have a basic knowledge of BitBucket.

Setting up with an Empty Local Project Folder

1. Create an empty local folder. I use Mamp, so mine are within the htdocs folder.
2. Create an empty repository on BitBucket. No point me explaining how to do this, when BitBucket have a great knowledge base.
3. Set up a Site in Coda 2.
   • Enter a Name for you site.
   • Choose the Local Root.
4. Click the Source tab.
5. Click Clone Git Repository…
6. In your new repository on BitBucket, click the Clone button at the top of the page. We need the URL part of that, which should look something like https://username@bitbucket.org/username/your-repo.git
7. Paste the URL into the Repositiory URL field.
8. Enter your BitBucket password into the Password field.
9. Click Clone.
10. Click Save.
11. Double click your new site to open it in Coda 2.
12. To get started we just need to commit 1 file to BitBucket. Open the File Browser in Coda 2 and make sure you are looking at your Local root. Right click and choose New File. Name your file README.md. We can use a blank file for now, unless you want to put anything in it – it can always be deleted later. This file is meant to describe your repository.
13. In the Coda 2 sidebar, click the Home icon. We need to open the SCM tab (I dragged this into the toolbar above for easier access).
14. When the SCM tab is open, you should see your README.md file there, with an Add button beside it. Click Add and when it changes, click Commit.
15. Enter a Commit message, for example: “Initial Commit”.
16. Navigate to File > New Tab > New Terminal Tab.
17. Choose Connect to Localhost and click Connect.
18. Now open the terminal tab again. Type the following:

    git push -u origin master

    and press enter. You may be prompted to enter your BitBucket password again.

19. Once complete, restart Coda 2. Now any changes you make should be “pushable” via the SCM tab, and you can also pull from there as well!

Setting up with a Local Folder Full of Code

1. Create an empty repository on BitBucket. No point me explaining how to do this, when BitBucket have a great knowledge base.
2. In Coda 2, right click on your site and choose Edit.
3. Click the Source tab.
4. Click Initiate Empty Git Repository…
5. Click Save.
6. Open your site in Coda 2.
7. In the Coda 2 sidebar, click the Home icon. We need to open the SCM tab (I dragged this into the toolbar above for easier access).
8. Click Add next to all relevant files until Commit is displayed next to everything.
9. Select all the files, right click and choose Commit All.
10. Enter a Commit message, for example: “Initial Commit”.
11. Navigate to File > New Tab > New Terminal Tab.
12. Choose Connect to Localhost and click Connect.
13. Type the following commands:

    git remote add origin https://username@bitbucket.org/username/your-repo.git
    git push -u origin --all

    Note: you will need to change username to your BitBucket username and your-repo to your repository name/slug.

14. Once complete, restart Coda 2. Now any changes you make should be “pushable” via the SCM tab, and you can also pull from there as well!

Bonus: Tagging the Current Version on BitBucket

Tagging is pretty straight forward:

1. In Coda 2, navigate to File > New Tab > New Terminal Tab.
   
2. Enter the following:

   git tag -a v1.4 -m 'version 1.4'
   git push --tags

   where v1.4 is the tag you’d like to use and ‘version 1.4′ is the message to go along with your tag. This is known as an annotated tag.

Another Bonus: Tag a Specific Commit

1. In Coda 2, navigate to File > New Tab > New Terminal Tab.
2. Enter the following:
   

   git tag -a v1.2 4e2f4dc -m "Tagging version 1.2"
   git push --tags
