A client wants a Magento site done, and I have never used it before. I thought, "Sure, I'll create a standard site using Bootstrap and just query the database for the products". Now that I've been looking into it, it looks like the only way to use Magento is by creating a Theme which doesn't look to be Bootstrap friendly.
Please someone tell me that creating Themes isn't the only legitimate way of creating a Magento site.
Some starting points:
http://www.bootstrapstart.com/portfolio-type/bootstrap-magento-theme/
http://magenthon.com (info and code) or demo here
https://github.com/cvaldemar/magento-bootstrap (doesn't seem too active though ?)
If this is something you are planning on doing yourself, the second link looks like a promising candidate to download, reverse engineer then cusomise!
Good luck

First of all let me clear what i want to do, here is my problem. I have my magento project running on server. Now my client is asking me to add a module like this, please have a look

Also he want that he can manage images and color codes from the Magento Admin panel. I have not much experience in magento extension development.
Please provide me reference if there is any magento extension already exist so that i can use that other wiase how to do it.
If you want a Magento frontend view which is admin manageable (with your own custom database tables) try this piece I wrote: link. Hope it suits you.
You should add a custom module to add that.

I'm working on a non-magento e-commerce website, created with Symfony because standard e-commerce framework are too much restrictive towards the website specifications.
However i would like to know if it is possible to use Magento checkout solution as standalone because this part of the framework is compliant to the specifications.
I haven't found any attempt of that but since Magento is a quite modular i am wondering if there is any chance of doing this.
yes its possible by using magento soap api
Here's a link for reference.
I have a huge problem with my VirtueMart. I try to develop a new payment module for it. The main problem is that no matter how I do it VirtueMart seems to refuse to let me store the plug-in in the database and also it refuses to let me choose it as a payment method.
I have disabled all other "countries" except the one that the module is written for. I have followed all guides on joomla mastery. I am convinced that my constructor is correct according to the scarce documentation I have found. I have even copy/pasted an existing payment module and changed all names for the database to something different so I can see if it's created and it's a no-go.
I am starting to get desperate. Does anyone have a good virtuemart developer guide? Do I need to turn some flags on (the flag to update/write to database is on in joomla and virtuemart) or off? How can I programatically FORCE VirtueMart to actually listen to what it say should work in all documentations I've found?
I am Joomla Developer.
Is there any easy backend interface for Virtuemart 2?
Whenever I install VM2 for anybody, they are unable to understand it easily. Please guide me if there is any thirdparty extension exists which brings its own backend interface for virtuemart.
Additionally, I like Magento backend, but I don't have developing experience in Magento. So I cannot work in magento. But I like its backend. If there is any extension which brings backend interface similar to that of magento but in Joomla then I really appreciate it.
Thanks
Personally, whilst commercial, I like the backend of k2Mart:

I plan to use Magento next year so I started browsing the Magento website. I noticed the Magento Core API and wonder what it is for? Is it something I can use to integrate parts form a running Magento installation into other applications?
Thanks :-)
Yes. You can use it to push some information in and out of Magento using SOAP XML.
