This might be a really simple question and I apologise if it has been asked before.
I I'm creating a website for a school with Joomla 2.5 and I want the homepage to be a blog list of the latest news. Just above the news blog I am trying to insert a featured article to introduce the school
My problem is that I can insert the featured article by setting the homepage as featured article list and I can make the news feed by setting the homepage as a blog list. I however do not know how to set both at once
Thank you in advance
Set the homepage as a blog list (configure your menu item as you probably already did according to your question) and insert the featured article creating an Articles Category module, in the settings of the module:
Go to filtering options (right side) and choose in Featured articles Only.
Still there, type 1 in the Count box.
Select the category that the article belongs to.
Assign the module to be shown only in the homepage.
Assign a position to the module above the main content (the blog list).
From what I understand you are trying to display a specific piece of content belonging to that category on top of the rest of the articles ...
You should do this simply by inserting this article as a description for this category.
Open the category, on the description insert the content as if it's an article then on the menu link make sure you are showing the category description ... this way the article will always be on top doesn't matter if any article is inserted. If that's not what you meant to do please update your question.

I’m new to Magento and I need a suggestion about configurable products. I made many test with configurable products and their attributes..surely it’s really interesting and help to keep clean categories. By the way, before create many configurable products, I’m asking myself if, for a customer that is searching for a product on google (for example), it will be more easy to find a configurable product or a simple product. For example take an E27 lamp bulb. I made a configurable product with warm white and cold white light colors attribute. The potential customer will search on google "e27 lamp bulb warm white".
The question is: The configurable product has more or less probability to be shown between search results instead of simple products? (naturally the simple product name will be: "e27 lamp bulb warm white" while the configurable product name will be: "e27 lamp bulb").
Do you suggest to make many simple products or simplify with configurable ones??
Many thanks to all who will reply, have a nice day.
As far as SEO is concerned Simple products are better option.
But just to remind that we donot choose simple or configurable based on SEO but on our needs.
If we need to manage the inventories separately we create differnet simple products and assign to Configurable but if didnot need that the simple product with options is ok.

I have two types of dresses as products in my Magento site. The first one is dresses with fixed sizes (S, M, L, XL) and the other type is a custom size where the customer will provide me with their sizes for tailor-made.
So I need to set the "Size" options for the customer to choose. The first one is where the customer can choose from the drop-down menu (which I already have) and the second "custom size" option for tailor-made service. The customer checks the box and the options size (field for filling in) appears.
I found some sample which is:
http://www.littlethingsfavors.com/mofmepesufat.html
and to be more accurate something that works like this (but this one is not a Magento)
http://www.tbdress.com/product/Fancy-Trumpet-Mermaid-Sleeveless-Matte-Satin-Ruched-Sweetheart-Court-Train-Wedding-Dress-10792914.html
I have tried with the custom options in Magento but that doesn't seem to do the trick.
I've also stumbled on this thread with the same issue but it seems there is no solution that works:
www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/74999/
You can set any number of Custom Options for Products as you wish. Locate it in your Admin,
Catalog->Manage Products->Product(any)->Custom Options.
Also for setting different Size and Color for you Products, better prefer configurable product with custom attribute.
Create an attribute set(Catalog->Attributes->Manage Attribute Sets)
with attributes of your choice (Add Color and Size attribute, Catalog->Attributes->Manage Attributes).
Create Product by preferring the configurable attribute set and customize the options as you wish.
In Magento, we have a small tricky thing, the custom options will be more accessible once you saved the product and reopen for edit. Hope this helps.

I've searched a keyword e.g "smartwash" there supposed to be 2 items but it's showing 1 items only but the count on the toolbar is right. My magento version is 1.4.2
Thanks
Several things to check:
Does the product's visibility allow it to be visible in search?
Is the product enabled?
Is the product in stock (Or are out of stock items set to be viewable)?
Does the product have a price and tax options?
If it's configurable or bundle, does it have child products/options that are in stock/enabled?
Have you reindex the Catalog Search Index?
Have you cleared the Page and Block caches?
Fixed it! I added this code on the start of my result.phtml :
$_productCollection=$this->_getProductCollection()

I would like the user to be sent to the category landing page when the user clicks the category in layered navigation.
So instead of the user getting /category.html?cat=11, they would get /category/RedWidget.html?cat=11 when they click the RedWidget category.
I found this link, but his code doesn't work.
Thanks ahead of time!
If I understand you correctly, I came across a similar problem.
My eventual fix was to display both the left.phtml and layered navigation at the same time, then hide the category in layered navigation.
(if($showBlock && $this->__($_filter->getName()) != "Category"):)
Then in left.phtml I parsed the $_GET variable and appended it to the end of the URL string for each category, ensuring that the layered navigation search terms persisted between categories.
Slightly dirty but it does the job.
Category landing pages are usually defined in the same place where you created the category. Set the display mode to CMS block or CMS block + products and you should see your content displayed for the user.
If this isn't what you are expecting, please elaborate on what you are using as a "category landing page".
