I use VirtueMart. I need to add some content to product details page to specific DIV. I cant only change template. I need to do this by php because it will be Joomla plugin.
Look at the override system for customizing Joomla, it also applies to Virtuemart. You can add code or simple html to the product details page and place it in the templates HTML folder (where overrides go).
If you only wish to have this on some products, you can have that product details file named something other than default.php and then it will be available to select as the layout to use in the Virtuemart product edit screen.
Hi I created a new theme and created a .phtml for category view.
/myTheme/template/catalog/category/view.phtml
I also set the category on Magento Back-end Manage Products to use this theme.
However on my category page. It is still blank.
I would appreciate any help on what I'm doing wrong. Thanks in advance.
You will set your theme for your category in Manage Category not Manage Product
To change Product View design you need to modify catalog/product/view.phtml
I'm new to magento. I need to add suppliers along with our products and the supplier information should also be editable. Please suggest me how can i do this. I'm using Magento 1.7
Thanks in advance.
You will need to install an extension for that. I search for some and I just found this: Suppliers on Magento
You will have to send him a private message to know it ^^
By default magento not provide this functionality, but still you can do this using magento attribute.
Create one attribute "supplier or something" and assigned this newly created attribute to Attribute Set of magento, now this newly created attribute is display in your product edit page.
If you are neu to magento this link might be useful to you How to create attribute?
I'm new to magento. I need to give an option to upload the pdf in the add product page.
Just need to give the file upload option with extra field.
I'm using magento 1.7.
Thanks in advance.
There are two ways you can achieve this:
1. Easy one
Create a new product attribute, let's say product_pdf text field, and assign it to some group and attribute set. This field should now reflect in your admin's product page and allow you to save PDF name.
Then make a directory on your Magento (may be in media/pdf) and save all your PDFs if you have. If not, then each time you save the value in Product's custom attribute that we created (product_pdf), also upload the PDF manually at the location you created (media/pdf).
So whenever in frontend you want to show the PDF of product, you will always get the file name from product_pdf attribute and the location should be media/pdf.
2. Difficult/Lengthy one:
Create a file uploader in your Magento Admin's Manage Product screen. Here everything should be in your custom module, from creating a new field to uploading it.
I will not go far, but give you some place where you can exactly know how to go with it: http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/11667/P0/
I have to build a website for a mobile store. They want to list their products but don't want to start selling yet. I have done a lot of website with Joomla and Virtuemart.
This time I want to use Magento as they use Lightspeed a POS that offers integration with Magento community edition.
My question is can I simply use Magento as a CMS to only display products and a few static pages like about us etc. I went through stackoverflow and found that some members have recommended some good blog integrations for magento so that part is solved(Thanks :-) ).
I know I can use wordpress as a blog with magento.
I rephrase....Can I use it to simply display products!
If Yes then please let me know if I am doing it for the right reason.
the reason are:
Adding products and product information becomes very easy in a
shopping cart(But in a CMS like Joomla each page has to be literally "designed" or I will have to use CCK editor. It still
becomes difficult for the client to update products IMO)
It comes with built in plugins to show related/featured products
etc. with a click on a button or options in the backend while client
simply puts the appropriate tags(With a CMS have to use a plugin or
module in Joomla that has to be set to show in the particular pages)
Automatic display of images etc is easier in Magento in comparison
to a CMS like Joomla where I will have to use a plugin or a gallery
that is set to show inside an article
The buy/add to cart button can easily be disabled and a "more info"
button can be added that will send an email to the client. They get
the exact product code the customer is asking for(Doing that in
Joomla would require a lot of extra stuff like adding codes or use
an advanced contact form with a tag to be entered for each page)
Last but not the least when client is ready to go online it can
easily be converted
Does Magento have two display? One is simply a catalog and the other a store. I have seen that in some stores online(not necessarily using magento) I am assuming either they created a website with the products pages first and then added a store later.
But in many cases it looks like a part of the Shopping application.(i just can't seem to remember which one they were using now).
If Magento allows that then I think my problem is solved. I simply use the "catalog option" and when the client is ready for the store I simply pull the products using a extension from their POS software.
Thank you for taking the time to read/answer.
Using Magento as a catalog only without selling the items is pretty straightforward. The easiest thing to do is just to use the catalog category lists to list the products and just make sure the "order" button is not visible.
You can do this simply by removing it from the product detail template (and the list/grid template in case they have it).
Or you could (I think) set all products to 'out of stock' this will automatically remove the 'order' button.
If you want to be thorough you should edit the cartControllers's addAction to disable adding products to the cart.
If you are going to combine Magento with Wordpress, Fishpig has developed a plugin with which you can use shortcode within Wordpress blogposts or/and pages to display products.
More info about that can be found here: http://fishpig.co.uk/wordpress-integration/docs/shortcodes.html

Disable the modules you don't want to use.
For example, if you wanted to use Magento as catalog only then disable sales module.
Hope this works for you!
