I'm not a web designer/coder but a friend had a designer quit on him and is needing some help getting his website up and running.
Website is www.wilfrednewman.com
They are using magento 1.7, blanco theme.
I'm wondering a couple things:
1) How to edit the first item of the menu (Clothing that leads to coming-soon.html). In the CMS Static Blocks he has page-menu defined which is where the other links are generated(bespoke,wedding,about,press,store), but Clothing is not there. I just don't know where to edit Clothing.
I can go through the tutorial and see how to make nav_block1 for blanco ( http://www.techturn.com/TT/Blanco_Magento_Theme.pdf ), and I have successfully done that. It just adds a link to the end of the menu he already established. I think I could likely follow that to add all my links, but I just don't know how to edit the first link so it doesn't matter
2) How do I get a "storefront" view. Just some basic store-front that has the newest products listed? That's what I would want Clothing to link to.
Googling these problems generally brings me the wrong solutions, such as editing the Home button in the Magento Navigation, so I can't find the solution for what I need, so I'm sorry if this is common but I'm just not googling the right thing!
To Edit Clothing link,
app/design/frontend/default/blanco/template/catalog/navigation/top.phtml. I think he had added page-menu here. Kindly check.
If you want to display products in clothing link, Add the below line in CMS Page (coming-soon).
Please change the category_id as you want.
{{block type="catalog/product_list" category_id="xx" template="catalog/product/list.phtml"}}

Sorry in advance I'm not very familiar with Magento.
I am working on a Magento Web Shop and one day the top navigation, where you can open the categories, just disappeared. I tried searching in the vendor folder for the Block or templates for it but no success there. Didn't find a solution in the Admin panel as well. Searched in Google, but the only thing I found was about Varnish, which I'm not using.
I'm open to any suggestions and questions.
Look in Vendor/magento/module_theme/view/frontend/layout/default.xml
remove ttl="3600" from
This happens on sites without ssl (local?)
Preferably you make a child theme first and put the catalog.topnav section in the default.xml of your theme otherwise you have to repeat this with every update..
I'm a brand-new Magento developer, coming from more general web-dev.
What I'm trying to do is create a "Kiosk Mode" of a website to be displayed within an app. Kiosk mode is a stripped-down version of my existing Magento site for BROWSING only; no customer login, no cart. Don't show "Add to Cart" stuff on product pages, etc. I want the site to draw from my existing product catalogue. My site currently has three store-views, representing three different physical locations with different inventory (business is mainly local pickup).
From what I'm reading it seems like a Theme is the way to go here, but I've got a couple of questions:
1) Can I drive theme from referral URL? I've looked at this page, but the answer seems shaky and I don't want to dive in to the codebase on spec if I can help it:
Change magento theme/storeview based on referring URL?
2) Does everything I'm describing above seem possible using Magento themes? Can I hide cart, change product page layout to remove "Add to Cart", etc?
Many thanks in advance!

I have decided to sit down and build my first custom theme in Magento and I'm using this tutorial: http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/php/magento-for-designers-part-4/
However I cant for the life of me find a way to include horizontal navigation (Home | Shop | Contact etc.) along the top of my website!
I tried all the suggestions I could find including placing everything in the root category and enabling all cats in the navigation.. refreshing the cache etc.
I've been working at this for hours now and been searching everywhere for an answer. I've pretty much followed the tutorial step by step but I can't see any way to enable the Nav - can someone please point me in the right direction with this?
(I'm kind of assuming Magento have a way to do this to add categories automatically - I'm aware I could hard code the navigation bar but I'm trying to avoid this.)
Looking at the screenshot on the tutorial, it doesn't actually have the menu anyway.
I'd recommend you check out leveluptuts magento theming tutorials, who actually take the base theme and manipulates it into the desired theme. I think you'll have much more luck that way as most of the templates and layout files are already built.
http://leveluptuts.com/tutorials/magento-community-tutorials/25-theming-magento-1-intro-theming
For the top menu, the default theme pages call the "header.phtml" template for the header block (app/design/frontend/base/default/template/page/html/header.phtml), which in turns calls the "topmenu.phtml" template (app/design/frontend/base/default/template/page/html/topmenu.phtml) where the menu code is.
The layout files is page.xml
Hope this helps!
I am currently using magento 1.7 for my website http://tuicoach.vn
This is my first post after searching all posts for this issue. I have modified the frontend including style.css in my skin (display:none for Vertical nav in sidebar) & product List style to remove Compare & Wishlist.
Other than this, I didn't touch anything on admin folder. Is there any reason why I got like the attached when I select a product to edit?
The main editing area now got inside the sidebar navigation for admin.
Much appreciate. I am fraid I have to completely reinstall.

I cannot post images so I put the link here to help explain the situation.
I am using Joomla 1.5x and have installed Virtuemart. I've got an intro page to the main site which is a child of "Home" in the main menu. In order to make the intro page the first thing you see, you have to make it the default in the main menu... You can see my setup at dirtygertie.samwinans.com.
If you click Purchase Soaps! and then the Dirty Gertie Goat Milk Soaps Category in the content then you get to a list of products (right now there is just one). Clicking "Add to Cart" takes me back to the Intro page again and I think it's because that is the default in the main menu. The default template, however, is my regular template... not my intro-page template.
Can anyone help me make it so adding to cart goes to the actual cart (I believe it's the flypage...)
Thank you,
Found the answer: Reply #53 fixes the URL issue. Not a whole lot of testing completed, but appears to be fixed. Hope this helps someone.
