I was wondering, is it possible to set default values for the Design tab of a product in the dashboard in Magento admin. By default, this is how the design tab looks:
Given this, I find it quite tedious to have to repeatedly select the design and page layout every time I add a new product. So, is there any way I can set this to the option I use most for products? Also, I'd like to hide Active From, Active To and Custom Layout Update if it's possible.
If you want to one design to all product, then you can set it from app\design\frontend\YOUR_TEMPLATE_PATH\default\layout\catalog.xml.
From this xml you can set template. Search for <catalog_product_view translate="label"> and under this node you will find template settings.
Hope this will help
So, you want default image for most of the product? Otherwise, you want to add new image, you can add image on based on each product?
If you want based on upper description, Go to
System->Configuration
Under Catalog tab and Click on Catalog Menu link and Go to Product Image Place Holders. You can set there for default image. If you add new product image on each product, new image override to this default image.See picture
!
Hope help :)

I am working on Magento 1.8.1 site and have a problem, for which I hope to find the solution here - after googling for several days.
I want to set different/custom page layout for category and its child categories, but I am stuck.
So, I have a 2-level category:
First category (for example CLOTHES) has a default 2-column page layout (because I want to have an additional navigation).
I would like that second category (for example LEVIS) would have 1-column page layout, but it's impossible to set it. It overrides all subcategory specific settings, it just accepts parent category settings.
I tried will all various possible settings, even with another theme. I also disabled inheritance of page layout from parent category.
Is this a known bug or did I do something wrong?
Thanks for your help,

you can easily set different layout for each category
just go to manage category and select category and go to custom design tab
and set use Use Parent Category Settings to no and set page layout according to your design just see image
If you do not specify values of "Use Parent Category Settings" and "Page Layout" under "Custom Design" tab of category, then Magento uses default page layout from layout xml file (under layout folder of theme).
If you want to specify custom layout for particular category, then you need to specify it for that category.
For example "CLOTHES" is your parent category and "LEVIS" is child category (for which you want to set different layout).
Then you need to specify values of "Use Parent Category Settings" to "No" and "Page Layout" to whatever layout you want to set for specific category.
Just save it and you can see reflection on front-end.
please refer screen-shots if you have any problem.
Let me know if you have any query.
Not sure if this is a Magento thing, or Argento, as I'm unable to revert to the default theme. Anyway, what ended up working was a Custom Layout Update for the category:
<reference name="root">
<action method="setTemplate"><template>page/1column.phtml</template></action>
</reference>
I have a solution in 1.7.0.2 as I had the same problem and this fixed it.
For each Category that is inheriting that should not be
Set "Use Parent Category Settings" to "Yes", save, then set it back to "No" and save.
You might also want to check that Store view settings are not overriding global view settings
Hope that helps someone.
Im wanting to add the Brand name (or designer name in this case which i have made a new attribute for) just above the product description in the Category view (grid) but cant figure it out.
As its Magento Go i have no access to the code, other than XML updates for the category itself.
Ive looked everywhere and would value any help.
Thanks
If you are cant get to the template phtml codes, you can put it on by admin.
Open catalog / attributes / manage attributes, find your attribute and in the properties set to
Visible on Product View Page on Front-end
Used in Product Listing
But it will not be on position you want.
You can edit CSS for the template and set an absolute position for your attribute.
Next way is to add in the admin in category XML layout, but this you need to do for each category. (Custom Layout Update)
This is my product description page.
In the dropdown of color there is a list.i want this list (red,green,blue) in my product listing page.
thats here:-
How to get the value of configurable products in product listing page?
Thanks in advance,
Go to Magento admin panel. Then, go to Manage Product under Catalog Menu.
Click on you product. Then, it will show product detail.
You will see Custom Option on Left Menu. Click on this
Click on Add New Option
After that, type display name on Title eg. Color
Choose Drop-Down on Input Type
New Box appear. So, you can add Red on Title. Then, click to Add New Row. You should add 3 row based on your requirement. Then, save.
If you don't see any thing on front-end UI, Clear Cache and ReIndex Manage again.
Hope this help
I am using Magento for my online store. Now i need to add a extra feature, throught which, customer can choose a custom text that needs to be engraved on the product. This feature must be available for only few products, so i have added a yes/no dropdown custom attribute in the "manage product" section. If yes is chosen for a product, i need to show a text box in that product details page in the store frontend.
The customer can enter the custom text in the text box, which needs to be saved and shown in the order invoice. And a extra fixed charge needs to be added to the product price, when this feature is used by the customer.
Does any community module available for this feature in magento or Do i need to create a custom module to do this, if so please guide me in carrying this out.
Thanks in Advance.
This feature is already available.
Create a new product!
Open the Custom Options Tab
Add a custom option
Give your new option a title and select field as input type
Now the attributes for this new options get displayed
Add a fixed or percent price to it
Also you need a SKU for every new option so that the options are displayed in the order process (invoice etc)
Done
So if a customer fill in this field the additional price is added automatically.
I hope this helps further.
No need to add a yes/no box, just add an text field option to those specific products. Did i miss something obvious here?
I have multi website, multi stored Magento shop, and I have a need to make some products available in one store_view, but not available in the other, where both store_views are part of the same store and website.
All my products are configurable with simple products attached to them. Only way I could think of solving this is registering a new product attribute through which I control where each product goes. That works great for the catalog and lists of products, but I have huge problems with single product view and choosing the configurable product options.
I can't seem to find where in Magento core those option are generated, so I could override that and strict some options for each store view. Basically, I need to know where is this
generated. My last resort would be managing this through AJAX, but there is already a lot of AJAX code and calls in that page that it would be confusing.
Any help or tip would be very appreciated.
I am pretty sure that the way above is not working because the attribute enable/disable product has impact at website level and not store or store view!
So if you do like tomakun says the product will be disabled at the whole website and not just for the store view you choose first!
I have the same problem that I want to assign different products all to one website but to different stores.
So far I just found the solution above to change the visibility at store view level.
But I think this not the optimal solution. It should be possible to disable a product on store level!
This feature is already available by default in Magento.
For bulk enabling/disabling products for a particular store view, do the following:
Go to your Catalog > Products
Select a store view above the product list.
You are now viewing all products included in THIS store view.
Once you have the correct store view selected, select the products you want to Enable or Disable using the checkbox on the left.
Now, using the Actions dropdown menu on top right of the product list, choose 'Change Status', select 'Disabled' or 'Enabled' and hit the Submit button.
Doing this will Enable or Disable the selected products from the selected store view (step 2). This is good for bulk actions but you can also do the same for all products one by one:
Open your product, select the relevant store view on top left of the page. Then in the General Tab, you have status: Enabled or Disabled. Choose the option that you want to apply for the current store view and hit Save.
That's it!
