I downloaded and installed magento on xampp by bitnami. Here is a screenshot of what i can see once i open localhost/magento :
I was watching a video on youtube about magento but he had a bit different view:
So what i wanted to know was, is my install incomplete? because it lacks the main content it just has the side bar content and the top bar. (Note: In the video the guy had also said that all that was pre-made and he did not add any of that himself) What is it? and if it comes automatically how do i add it? re-install?
Yes that guy did not enter all that himself but he uses the sample data provided by magento itself.
Magento has a sample data archive available that contains sample products and CMS pages to allow you to explore your new Magento installation without having to create everything from scratch.
Note: You cannot install that sample data now. You need to re-install with some more steps.
Here is the magento page about all this.

In magneto when i create the new products. I cant upload the product image. That page shows error like this
"Image type and information need to be specified for each store view. "
I cleared the Cache Storage but i also face this issue. Please help to solve this issue
I fixed problem below. I found solution from google.
Go chrome settings,
chrome://settings/content
Content settings flash
Choose Allow sites
This solution fixed my problem.
Usually this problem is browser based (corrupted flash player plugin)
Checklist suggested for it:
Check in another browser, if it is working try to reset the browser where it is giving problem.
missing /media directory or if /media directory has no write permission.
prototype js version is also causes this but rarely. (Only when you are doing up gradation or installing incompatible magento extension)
Let me know which one is working for you.
If you can’t upload images for a product in your admin section of magento it may have something to do with your flash plugin in your browser.Please disable Flash in your browser.
Use Magento HTML5 Uploader Extension. Extension link is below: https://marketplace.magento.com/mavenecommerce-html5-uploader.html
Just add those tags in layout file you can find solution here fixed
I have a Joomla 2.5.20 site with VirtueMart 2.6.4. I'm creating a template that among other things uses jQuery and Bootstrap. While the site works well in general, including VM's cart, I'm facing problems with the product detail view: no script from VirtueMart seems to be working: if I click on a thumbnail image, it won't change the main image. If I click on the main image, it will open in a new window instead of opening with Fancybox. The rating control won't allow me to select a star to rate the product.
I've been searching all over and every answer I've come up with say it's a jQuery conflict. While jQuery (v. 1.8.0) is there, I don't see where the conflict could possibly be.
The site is:
http://www.dailymood.com.mx
The URL to a sample where it's not working:
http://www.dailymood.com.mx/catalog/mood/20014moodbarbcrh-detail
Any help will be really appreciated. Thanks in advance!
I want to install a jquery zoom box on my magento website, I have tried almost every thing found on the internet. am I doing something wrong? But I cannot seen to get jquery mouse over zoom to work on my magento site, I have put in jquery noconflict in my jquery files as well. I am using magento 1.5.1 , I have even tried installing magento extensions of magic zoom, cloud zoom , jqzoom but nothing is working.
Any help will be appreciated
thx in advance
First you may please check whether there is any js error.
Sometimes the extension you installed may be in the default directory of the template.So please check view source of the product detail page, whether there exits the content. Otherwise please copy that template and layout from the default folder to your theme folder.
If your browser is Chrome, CTRL+SHIFT+J will open the javascript console.
In my case, it told me that the magento /js/scriptaculous folder was missing, which seems to be a bug in Magento Connect for 1.8.1.0. Copying that folder from an archived earlier version on the Magento website fixed this.
The original question was about a different version of Magento so may not have the same cause.
Have you had a look at this: http://leveluptuts.com/tutorials/magento-community-tutorials/53-theming-magento-23-better-product-zoom.
I've used it and it works like a charm!
I've just installed Joomla and I'm a little confused with the new interface.
I'm actually looking at Joomla after about 2 years.
I've installed it and it has things like default pages about joomla, Australian Parks and Fruits...
Now, are these separate sites or are they just a heap of pages? Thanks!
It looks like you installed the default data during the installation process. This demo data is intended to show you the features of Joomla and how it works. To stop it from showing start the installation and on the last step you will be asked to enter the admin password and the site name... don't click on "Install Sample Data" and your Joomla installation will be plain waiting for you to load the contents!
I am new to joomla and I have a problem:
The challenge is to get Virtuemart to produce a custom downloadable
PDF/certificate with the buyer's details on it.
Virtuemart already have a download after paying ability, but not for
custom created files/pdfs.
Joomla can also already create pdfs from front-end files, so I assume
it is possible to achieve this.
Any suggestions as to how I should go about this will be very much appreciated.
Thank you
I would package this in a custom component, basically you need to:
create a link in Virtuemart that links to the component relating to the order_item
check that order_item is paid
produce the PDF by outputting some page content and putting it through the PDF output of Joomla
I haven't used Joomla's PDF output, it may be just as easy to use FPDF, rosPDF or you could use an existing PDF by installing pdftk (on a VM or dedicated server only)
