    Default Magento 2 Layout, Block & Template Ultimate Guides

    Carrying on from our previous overviews of the main changes for front-end developers in Magento 2, we’ll now look specifically at the revisions to the templating system. While the changes aren’t too drastic, developers will want to become familiar with the new system - particularly those upgrading sites from Magento 1.x to Magento 2. This guide will take developers through the changes to layout XML and the new overall project structure of Magento 2Here are exmaple of layout file/view/frontend/page_layout/2columns-left.xml
    <layout xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framewo rk:View/Layout/etc/page_layout.xsd"> <update handle="1column"/> <referenceContainer name="columns"> <container name="div.sidebar.main" htmlTag="div" htmlClass="sidebar sidebar-main" after="main"> <container name="sidebar.main" as="sidebar_main" label="Sidebar Main"/> </container> <container name="div.sidebar.additional" htmlTag="div" htmlClass="sidebar sidebar-additional" after="div.sidebar.main"> <container name="sidebar.additional" as="sidebar_additional" label="Sidebar Additional"/> </container> </referenceContainer></layout>
    One of the biggest differences between the two versions of Magento is the way the whole project is structured. Unlike Magento 1.x where templates were defined inapp/design/frontend/<package>/<your_theme> and your theme assets defined in skin/frontend/<package>/<your_theme>, in Magento 2 everything is consolidated into one base folder location. In this case, there is no longer a separate skin folder for theme assets. All of your templates and assets are now stored in: app/design/frontend/<package>/<your_theme> (in other words, the old location for your templates).You will soon see that unlike Magento 1.x where all the templates were stored in app/ design/frontend/<package>/<theme>/template, there are a number of folders, as demonstrated in the screenshot below.Each one of these folders represents a module in Magento 2 where templates or assets are overridden in this theme. The location of the default versions of each module can be found inapp/code/Magento Let’s take a look at the structure of a typical module.Here is an example of the checkout module in a custom theme. As you can see, it contains a folder for layout updates (more on that later) one for templates and a “web” folder, which replaces the old skin/frontend/<package>/<theme> folder. However, instead of having all your sitewide assets and JS in this folder, such items are now organised per module - in this case, the Magento Checkout module.Those of you with a keen eye may also have noticed that there is a template folder in the web folder of this module. This is unique to a few Magento 2 modules (including Checkout) where Magento 2 employs KnockoutJS for templating. We’ll look at KnockoutJS in more detail in a later tutorial. These templates use .html files and internal logic (i.e. no PHP is involved).As explained earlier, if you want to override / amend the core modules’ templates and JS, you will need to create an equivalent module folder in your theme that matches the path(s) of the file(s) you wish to override / extend.Taking another example, if you take a look in app/code/Magento you will see all of the default modules used by Magento 2 core. If you want to override something in the Catalog module, for example, you would then need to create a folder in your theme called Magento_Catalog. This references the <package_name>, in this case the “Magento” portion of app/code/Magento i.e. app/code/<package>, and then the portion after the underscore refers to the module name. In this case, this is Catalog: app/code/<package>/<module>In other words, to override the contents of a module in app/code/<package>/< module> app/code/<package>/<module>, you will need to create a folder named <package>_<module> in your theme.Also note that you can only override the contents of the view/frontend portion of the module within your theme (so app/code/Magento/Catalog/view/frontend maps toapp/design/frontend/<your_package>/<your_theme>/Magento_Catalog ). If you need to override Controllers and Blocks, this is done in a different location and normally by a backend developer, which is not covered in this guide.

    Default How To Create Magento 2 Theme Ultimate Guide

    There are number of improvements to the way themes are managed and set up in Magento 2. The use of the theme.xml definition file, introduced in Magento 1.9, and a new fallback system, are two of the most significant improvements. The fallback system in Magento 2 works in a similar way to Magento 1.x, but has the added advantage that you can select unlimited parent themes to inherit from / fallback to - all via the theme.xml file in your theme.Let’s say you want to create a brand new theme based on the new Magento “Blank” theme. First, you would create a new folder in app/design/frontend called, for example Session/default. You would then create a theme.xml file in this directory (it is probably best to copy it from app/design/frontend/Magento/blank/theme.xml), name your theme, and choose any parent. In this case, we want Magento 2’s Blank theme.To Creat Magento 2 Theme Ultimate:

    • Creating a Magento theme folder
    • Declare your theme
    • Composer package
    • registration.php file
    • Creating static files, folders
    • Configure catalog product images
    • Declare Theme Logo
    • Basic layout elements
    • Layout files types and conventions.

    So your theme.xml file should look something like this:
    <theme xmlns:xsi=”http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance”xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation=”../../../../lib/internal/Magento/Framework/Config/etc/theme.xsd”> <title>Session Default</title> <parent>Magento/blank</parent></theme>
    Theme structure

    Folder structure

    app/design/frontend/mageplaza/├── ultimate/│ ├── etc/│ │ ├── view.xml│ ├── web/│ │ ├── images│ │ │ ├── logo.svg│ ├── registration.php│ ├── theme.xml│ ├── composer.json
    <Vendor> is theme vendor. e.g: mageplaza<theme> is theme name. e.g: ultimateOk, let’s goCreating a Magento theme folder

    Creating a folder for the theme:
    • Go to app/design/frontend
    • Creating a vendor folder app/design/frontend/<vendor> e.g: app/design/frontend/mageplaza
    • Create a theme folder app/design/frontend/<vendor>/<theme> e.g: app/design/frontend/mageplaza/ultimate


    app/design/frontend/├── mageplaza/│ │ ├──...ultimate/│ │ │ ├── ...│ │ │ ├── ...
    Declare your theme

    Now we have folder app/design/frontend/mageplaza/ultimate , now create a file named theme.xml that define basic information about theme such as: Name, parent theme (in case your theme inherits from an existing theme), preview image
    <theme xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framewo rk:Config/etc/theme.xsd"> <title>Mageplaza Ultimate</title> <!-- your theme's name --> <parent>Magento/blank</parent> <!-- the parent theme, in case your theme inherits from an existing theme --> <media> <preview_image>media/preview.jpg</preview_image> <!-- the path to your theme's preview image --> </media> </theme>
    Composer package

    Composer is a tool for dependency management in PHP. It allows you to declare the libraries your project depends on and it will manage (install/update) them for you.To distribute your theme as a package, add a composer.json file to the theme directory and register the package on a packaging server.composer.json example:
    "name": "mageplaza/ultimate", "description": "N/A", "require": "php": "~5.5.0, "type": "magento2-theme", "version": "100.0.1", "license": [ "OSL-3.0", "AFL-3.0" ], "autoload": "files": [ "registration.php" ]
    registration.php file

    You can add the following content to register the theme to Magento 2
    <?php/** * Copyright © 2015 Magento. All rights reserved. * See COPYING.txt for license details. */\Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::r egister( \Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::T HEME, 'frontend/mageplaza/ultimate', __DIR__);
    You should change mageplaza, ultimate to your vendor, theme name.Creating static files, folders

    In a design, there are many static files such as javascript, css, images and fonts. They are stored in separate folders in web of theme package.Here are the structure
    app/design/<area>/mageplaza/ultimate/├── web/│ ├── css/│ │ ├── source/ │ ├── fonts/│ ├── images/│ ├── js/
    Tips

    In Magento 2, theme or extension development, when you update any files in app/design/<area>/mageplaza/ultimate/web folder, you have to static folders which located at pub/staticand var/view_preprocessed Otherwise, you still there is no change in frontend.Configure catalog product images

    As you can see in the theme strucure I mentioned above, there is a file called etc/view.xml. This is configuration file. This file is required for Magento theme but it is optional if exists in parent theme.Go to app/design/<area>/mageplaza/ultimate/ and create a folder etc and file view.xml You can copy the view.xml file in parent theme such as Blank themeapp/design/frontend/Magento/blank/etc/view.xmlOk, let update the image configuration for catalog product grid page.
    <image id="category_page_grid" type="small_image"> <width>250</width> <height>250</height></image>
    In view.xml, image properties are configured in the scope of element:
    <images module="Magento_Catalog">...<images/>
    Image properties are configured for each image type defined by the id and type attributes of the <image> element:

    Declare Theme Logo

    In Magento 2 default, it uses <theme_dir>/web/images/logo.svg, in your theme, you can change to different file format such as png, jpg but you have to declare it.Logo size should be sized 300x300px and you open file <theme_dir>/Magento_Theme/layout/default.xml
    <page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framewo rk:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd"> <body> <referenceBlock name="logo"> <arguments> <argument name="logo_file" xsi:type="string">images/custom_logo.png</argument> <argument name="logo_img_width" xsi:type="number">300</argument> <argument name="logo_img_height" xsi:type="number">300</argument> </arguments> </referenceBlock> </body></page>
    Basic layout elements

    The basic components of Magento page design are blocks and containers.A container exists for the sole purpose of assigning content structure to a page. A container has no additional content except the content of included elements. Examples of containers include the header, left column, main column, and footer.Layout files types and conventions

    Module and theme layout files

    The following terms are used to distinguish layouts provided by different application components:
    • Base layouts: Layout files provided by modules. Conventional location:
      • Page configuration and generic layout files: <module_dir>/view/frontend/layout
      • Page layout files: <module_dir>/view/frontend/page_layout

    • Theme layouts: Layout files provided by themes. Conventional location:
      • Page configuration and generic layout files: <theme_dir>/<Namespace>_<Module>/layout
      • Page layout files: <theme_dir>/<Namespace>_<Module>/page_layout

    Create a theme extending file

    Rather than copy extensive page layout or page configuration code and then modify what you want to change, in the Magento system, you only need to create an extending layout file that contains the changes you want.To add an extending page configuration or generic layout file:
    <theme_dir> |__/<Namespace>_<Module> |__/layout |--<layout1>.xml |--<layout2>.xml
    For example, to customize the layout defined in <Magento_Catalog_module_dir>/view/frontend/layout/catalog_product_view.xml, you need to add a layout files with the same name in your custom theme, like following:<theme_dir>/Magento_Catalog/layout/catalog_product_view.xml
    <theme_dir> |__/<Namespace>_<Module> |__/page_layout |--<layout1>.xml |--<layout2>.xml
    Override base layouts

    Overriding is not necessary if a block has a method that cancels the effect of the originally invoked method. In this case, you can customize the layout by adding a layout file where the canceling method is invoked.To add an overriding base layout file (to override a base layout provided by the module): Put a layout file with the same name in the following location:
    <theme_dir> |__/<Namespace_Module> |__/layout |__/override |__/base |--<layout1>.xml |--<layout2>.xml
    These files override the following layouts:
    • <module_dir>/view/frontend/layout/<layout1>.xml
    • <module_dir>/view/frontend/layout/<layout2>.xml

    Override theme layouts

    To add an overriding theme file (to override a parent theme layout):
    <theme_dir> |__/<Namespace_Module> |__/layout |__/override |__/theme |__/<Parent_Vendor> |__/<parent_theme> |--<layout1>.xml |--<layout2>.xml
    These files override the following layouts:
    • <parent_theme_dir>/<Namespace>_<Module>/layout/<layout1>.xml
    • <parent_theme_dir>/<Namespace>_<Module>/layout/<layout1>.xml

    Tips!

    - Changing block name or alias. The name of a block should not be changed, and neither should the alias of a block remaining in the same parent element.- Changing handle inheritance. For example, you should not change the page type parent handle.
    Congrats! Now you have your first simple Magento 2 theme. You can try to create a complexible theme later.Ref: Devdocs.magento.com, Stackoverflow.com It comes to the end of tutorial: How To Create Magento 2 Theme Ultimate Guide . How To Create Magento 2 Theme Ultimate Guide

    Brute-force attacks are becoming very common these days. Most websites are by default vulnerable to such attacks. If you use Magento, there are by default located at /admin and /downloader and can be abused in several ways. Hackers can easily find them and launch a brute-force attack. In such an attack, random passwords are tried automatically, until one succeeds.A brute-force attack is one of the simplest methods to gain access to a website because other than patience it does not require any additional skill or resources. Brute-force attacks are simply trial and error. During such an attack, certain permutations and combinations of usernames and passwords are used by hackers to attempt to break into an account.What should I do?We are recommend the following best practicesTo Stop Brute Force Attacks in Magento 1, 2:

    • Custom admin path.
    • Secure your Magento admin account.
    • Protect /downloader folder.
    • Secure .git folder.
    • Up to date your store.
    • Enable HTTPS for admin panel.

    Custom admin path

    The default Magento 1 backend url is your-domain.com/admin Because the default Magento backend URL is common knowledge in brute-force suites, you can easily get some advantage by cutting the low-hanging fruit.Custom your current admin path as the following:Edit file /app/etc/local.xml XML Path: admin -> routers -> adminhml -> args -> frontNameYou can see <![CDATA[admin]]>, now change it to your own admin url, e.g: secret or mybackendNow flush Magento cache to take effect: System -> Cache Management -> Flush Magento CacheMagento 2: Not required.Secure your Magento admin account

    Don’t use admin account

    People usally use admin as first admin account. This is security issue for your Magento store. Because hackers can guest it easily. We recommend you should change admin account name to your own account name, nickname or your email address.Keep strong password

    The best way to protect your Magento store against a brute-force attack is to – and advise other administrators to – use a strong password. The rule:
    • Password length: > 8
    • Includes number
    • Includes chracters (Lowercase and Uppercase Characters)
    • Include Symbols: optional

    Protect /downloader folder

    In Magento 1, it use /downloader called Magento Connect Manager folder to install extension from Magento Connect. This is default path, it is easy for hacker to attack your Magento website. You can rename it but there is a effect way to protect the downloader folder, it is IP whitelistApache

    Edit file downloader/.htaccess and add the folowing lines to the end:
    order deny,allowdeny from allallow from x.x.x.x
    x.x.x.x is your whitelist IP v4 address.Nginx

    Open configuration file of your Magento website. E.g: /etc/nginx/conf/mywebsite.confAdd the following block of lines:
    location /downloader/ allow x.x.x.x; deny all; location ~ \.php$ echo_exec @phpfpm;
    Cpanel or DA hosting

    You can ask for support from your hosting providers.Protect local.xml file

    local.xml file is very sensitive data that contain database information, admin path or crypt key. If this information is leak to public you will get problem.Check it now, navigate your browser to http://your-domain.com/app/etc/local.xml If it cannot access to the data, your website is safe. Otherwhile, you can follow the Protect /downloader folder in previously to disable that.Secure .git folder

    Git is now popular nowsday, every store using Git as version control of its store. Git folder contain many important information such as repo url, code files …You can follow the Protect /downloader folder in previously to disable that.Is your store up-to-date?

    • Apply security paches. There are some security patches that Magento released recently, you can download it at (here)[https://www.magentocommerce.com/download]
    • Install Magento latest version. Updating to latest version that keep your store always healthy.

    Enable HTTPS for admin panel
