adding authorship markup to products - microdata

Hi I am looking to put authorship markup to my flowers products as all are made in house by designer florist. Any ideas how I would implement that to a product. I would also like to mention that the site is using the BigCommerce engine.
Flower Delivery Store

You could manually add a link to the author within the product description.

You can add the markup into your Bigcommerce product template. You will want to mark up more data than just the author - the item & other details - as well.

How to create different URLs for items in a drop down list on a product page?

I am not a coder, and I am working for a company involved in e-commerce activities, so please help me!
Currently we are looking to merge two different aspects of the business, where we will have the other company arms website detailing the product variations (i.e. Product A in sizes 1, 2, 3 and 4) on their page as separate enteries as part of their mission driven section, which link directly to our product page.
The issue we have is, on our website we have a drop down menu, and what we want to achieve is for the when the visitor selects the buy on the product page for Product A in Size 2 it links directly to our ecommerce page with a pre filled in drop down menu for that exact product selection.
Does anyone know how we could achieve this in Magento? Could this be done in custom URLs?
Thanks in advance!!
To preselect a simple product in a configurable product, the address of a simple product should look like this for example:
/mona-pullover-hoodlie.html#143=167&93=53
where /mona-pullover-hoodlie.html - configurable product URL,
143, 93 - attributes IDs,
167, 53 - option IDs.
In order to change the URL of simple products, you can create a Plugin (Interceptor) for Magento\Catalog\Model\Product::getProductUrl(), where to generate the URL as in the example above.
I made VCT Simple Product URL module on Magento Marketplace that solves this problem.

Mailchimp cart content block

I am creating a website with mailchimp integration using their API. I am using their drag and drop cart block content feature, it seems that the price that is reflected in that block is not the price of the cart but the price of the product.
My first solution is to get the price using a cart merge tag, I have been searching for merge tags but cant find any website that provides me this merge tags.
I would like to use the cart price instead, does anyone knows how can I put the cart price? I've been looking for solution for this problem all day. I hope one of you can help me.
Thank you.

You can use the merge tag ABANDONED_CART to create custom html for abandoned cart emails.
Example:
<table>
*|ABANDONED_CART:[$total=3]|*
<tr>
<td><img src="*|PRODUCT:IMAGE_URL|*"/></td>
<td>*|PRODUCT:TITLE|*</td>
<td>*|PRODUCT:PRICE|*</td>
</tr>
*|END:ABANDONED_CART|*
</table>
Go to Cart
The $total=3 in the ABANDONED_CART tag changes the number of products that will be shown.
*|CART:URL|* - Generates the url for your cart.
This doesn't seem possible. Here's a very recent list of available tags from mailchimp . There's no CART block or CART_PRICE tag.
I contacted mailchimp support with a similar query.
ME:
I'd like to customize the contents of the cart
block. The test emails/ abandoned carts I have created use the
checkout_url as the product image link within the template. Is it
possible to have the cart block product image link url set to that of
the product or the product link variant?
If that is not possible is there an equivalent PRODUCT_CART tag to
PRODUCT_RECOMMENDATIONS as documented here
http://kb.mailchimp.com/merge-tags/all-the-merge-tags-cheat-sheet#Merge-Tags-for-Product-Recommendations
that I could use to construct my own abandoned cart email, not using the
predefined cart block drag and drop content block.
In summary:
1) Within the cart block is it possible to have the product images link
to the products and not the checkout_url?
2) Is there a tag not listed in
http://kb.mailchimp.com/merge-tags/all-the-merge-tags-cheat-sheet to
iterate over cart products?
SUPPORT:
There is not a way to change the URL linked to the product image. Additionally, those products must be pulled in using the abandoned cart content blocks, and cannot be populated using a merge tag.
That being said, I do agree these would be great options to have, and I would be happy to pass that feedback along for you. Our developers monitor these suggestions and often use that feedback for future versions of the application. So thank you for giving us your idea, as it may be very useful for a lot of our users in the future.
Let us know if you have any other questions on this, and have a great rest of your day.

how can we show associated simple product information of configurable product in product view page in magento

how can we show associated simple product information of configurable product in product view page in magento.like sku number of simple product should be shown when we select an option from the drop down of configurable product in product view page.
I would also suggest the Simple Configurable Products extension http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/simple-configurable-products.html. There are some tweaks you need to make for recent versions of Magento but it works perfectly for me in 1.8.1.
Update with pointer to tweaks
I've pasted in below a review comment by tzvimoshe from the magentocommerce.com entry for SCP.
To get this to work in 1.7 you need to 1) apply fix from Github AND 2)
apply the fix to that as well. See 1)
https://github.com/magdev/magento-configurable-simple/blob/6d88e5e1846713f579f79905dc3ed35112772ebc/app/code/community/OrganicInternet/SimpleConfigurableProducts/Catalog/Model/Resource/Eav/Mysql4/Product/Indexer/Price/Configurable.php
2)
https://github.com/organicinternet/magento-configurable-simple/pull/85
For everyone's convenience I have posted the complete fix on pastebin.
See http://pastebin.com/spVj88T4 just paste into app / code /
community / OrganicInternet / SimpleConfigurableProducts / Catalog /
Model / Resource / Eav / Mysql4 / Product / Indexer / Price /
Configurable.php
This is a pretty big thing you are asking here.
I don't have a complete solution, but I can give you a nudge in the right direction.
I recommend you this extension.
It does not do what you need, but instead it changes the product dropdowns to clickable labels. This feature can be disabled if your don't need it.
But here is what you might be able to use from it.
When changing a product configuration, it changes the configurable product image if you configure it to do so.
You can take it and modify it so when it changes the image it changes also the name and/or sku.
This is the line that changes the product image: https://github.com/tzyganu/Switcher/blob/master/js/easylife_switcher/product.js#L274.
You can inject your logic there to change the sku or name also.
This is the line that collects the simple product images: https://github.com/tzyganu/Switcher/blob/master/app/code/community/Easylife/Switcher/Block/Catalog/Product/View/Type/Configurable/Config.php#L136.
You can add a similar one that would collect all your skus and/or names.
After that you will need to add some markup around the name or sku so you can easily identify it in the DOM with js.
I hope this helps you at least a little.

How to create a second frontpage in Joomla?

How to create a second (or more) front page in Joomla? (Joomla 3.1.5 here)?!
My dream website would be a website with several Homepages, but I haven't figured yet how to make it....
What I mean: for example if you have website on sports - you want a Homepage for: Hockey, Football and Basketball
- each with all 18 (or so) template positions, full page of Modules, etc....Exactly like it is on actual Front Page, but each on different topic....
How to do this?!
and how to get over 'question quality standarts' - everything is described above;
You need to create menu items, assign them to different templates, assign the modules et voilĂ .
Create the new featured menu items and filter them by category, assuming one is Hockey, Golf etc.
Then in the template manager, install your new template or create a new style for one of the templates based on your requirements, and assign the newly created menu item.
If you're looking for a howto, you might want to start from Joomla.org or google.
It's not a matter of quality, but of context. This is a developers site, not a Joomla usage forum.
Unless you have a total different requirements that what you have described, one way to achieve what you are after for in Joomla 3, is to create several featured articles menu-items with the category settings you want, and also configure your template to work the way you want, with the module positions and the module assignments.
There are also other custom content components, you may want to try, like k2, that offers a variety of options when creating blog layout pages.
And to add to Daniel Bottner's comment that under conditions, this was also possible even with J1.5.
similar simple example in J1.5:
example-page1
example-page2
'Riccardo Zorn' did answer this question pretty well.
What you basically wan't to do is to create a website with kind of a following structure.
site:
1: category 1 (sport x)
2: category 2 (sport y)
2.1: subcategory to 2(sport y ~ men)
2.2: subcategory to 2(sport y ~ women)
...
While each category would be a seperate menu as well as very likely a different template.
It is up to you to filter for the templates and menues which modules are shown there.
But you will have one basic entry point for the website.
No offense but what you want to do is basically default in joomla since at least version 1.6
