I want to build a shop using magento, but I will only have 5 products with all the options (size, quantity, colour and so on) on the home page, maybe some on has done something similar and could point me to the right direction?
P.S
I googled :)
Perhaps the easiest way to achieve this is to create a category with those 5 products and set is as the homepage of your webshop. You can find this option under System > Configuration > Web > Default Web URL.
So instead of using the default cms value, use the following value:
catalog/category/view/id/<your_category_id>
The category ID is visible on the category edit page in the admin.
Managing this page is just like you would normally treat your product list / category pages.
try to download the magento and install the demo store....
And u can use http://www.magentocommerce.com/knowledge-base this to aswer the basic.

I'm willing to move currency switcher in Magento 2.2 to become last item of navigation, any ideas?
There are multiple way you can do this, another way is to use multistore or International Module
but i prefer Multistore route if you would like my options then got to the following link http://www.dckap.com/blog/how-to-setup-multiple-stores-in-magento2/
Thank you for reading..
I have created a multistore site based on 4 diferents subdomains domain1.site.com domain2.site.com and so on, everything works, i have diferent logo and design for each site, but i need to enable and disable categories already created for each site, is this possible?, i dont mean root category, i need to show a category for one site, and other category for other site, is this possible via admin panel or at least via code?
I have tried to create root category and disable category by category for each store view.
Yes. Its possible but quite complicated. let me explain you how you reach that.
You need to create one custom category attribute and just set the value in which you want to display that category.
In category page (coding side) you just need to check this attribute value and write your condition according to that.
Create a new Root category into magento admin
Admin >> Catalog >> Manage Categories
Now Go to Manage Store in
Admin >> System >> Manage Stores
Click on your new Store for which you need to set different category.
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.
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

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!
I have a script that is creating a lot of configurable products and their associated simple products.
Everything goes ok and when inspecting the products in the admin section, everything is linked up and looks great.
The problem is that the products are not visible until I manually go to the admin section and save the configurable product - without changing any options - and then each simple product that is associated with it. After each simple product is saved, its option becomes available on the from end for the configurable product.
Does anyone have any ideas on this?
Solved this by going through the saveAction in the Mage_Adminhtml_Catalog_ProductController.
I wasn't setting the websiteIds correctly so the new products were never getting added to the site correctly.
Magento uses this piece of code to get the correct website:
$product->setWebsiteIds(array(Mage::app()->getStore(true)->getWebsite()->getId()));
Drew's answer above worked for me. For those using the REST API, this option is under extension_attributes like so:
"extension_attributes": {
"website_ids": [1]
}
Where 1 (for me) was the id of the website where I wanted the product to appear.
