Simple configurable product conflict with ajax add to cart (Magento) - magento

I have a problem with my site being once you click on add to cart and select a custom option this sets the price to 0.00 it will add the product with the options but uses the lowest priced product instead of the one selected i have browsed for the last few days and think I’ve narrowed it down to another plugin AJAX Excellence i think conflicting with SCP i got my info from this link but have no idea what I’m looking for.
This problem doesnt happen if you go through the product description page only on the product listing pages which brings up a pop up of options to add to cart
Your help will be appreciated.
Magento ver. 1.7.0.2

Magento, In Admin page, prices attribute missing

I am very new to Magento. And My Magento version is 1.9.0.0. CE.
As I registered third product I realized I didn't set price for the product.
So I have been searching internet to know how to set the price.
It was not easy to find what I wanted but soon I found out that I don't have
others normaly have.
The price button!!!
The prices button was supposed to be below General Button.
(Admin page : Catalog->Manage Products->Edit Link: 1. General Button 2.Prices 3.Meta Information ....)
Am I right?
What should I do now?
I got it.
I set the product to belong to one of attribute set
that some of plug-in made.
It was a mistake.

Magento Add to cart button redirects back to product page, but only for certain products

I have 3 products on my site. Two of them can be added to cart just fine. The third one, when clicking add to cart, redirects back to the product page without adding the product to the cart. The other two, when clicked, directs to the cart page, showing the item in the cart. I'm baffled. Where should I look to fix this?
Found my solution. In the product configuration, in the tab dealing with downloadable things, I had to set the drop down for "allow to be bought separately" to No instead of Yes

Can not view products in admin of magento

I am new to magento and i need little help....
Actually I added simple products in magento and was trying to add some configurable products,The simple products were working fine.
While working on configurable products something happened and I can not see any products in manage products area.
I have checked the database and products exists there.
What should I do to fix this issue.....Kindly help
you can see associated product
just click on that
then you can see yoursimple product list ,,if not then click on reset filter
Go to catalog manage products and check if the fields are blank and click search
The simple products will not show if you do not have the attribute set that links the simples to the configurable. What is the attribute you are using? Check in the simples if this is set to be a value. Then go back to the Configurable, go to the associated products and click on 'Reset'. They should now show.

Dynamic SKU change with "Simple Configurable Products" Magento

I have the free extension "Simple Configurable Products" installed but unfortunately, any updates/responses to it over on github are slow or nonexistant.
What I need the cart to do is to dynamically update the SKU when simple products are selected within the configurable product page.
I am able to get the cart to show the configurable product SKU, but it does not dynamically update when I select any of the simple products via the dropdown menu.
How can I get around this? Thanks!
I ended up figuring this out using the steps at this URL:
http://ashpointlane.com/2011/03/magento-dynamic-sku-display-on-configurable-products/
However it wasn't totally accurate, so I also made the changes afterwards suggested here after placing in that code: Display Dynamic SKU on configurable product view Magento
It's a little more tricky also if you have a custom theme, you'll have to do some more work getting the dynamic SKU to show on the frontend, and place where you want it to display.

Can Magento be used as a CMS to build a product catalog(not a store currently but maybe in the future)

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
System > Configuration > Advanced > Advanced
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!
