I have this one attribute which is saved by the Magento API. I want to make this attribute read only in administrator view. In another words I want to prohibit manual changes of this attribute.
How do I do that?

I guess this would help.

One of my client want to have this kind of custom attributes in magneto, i tried making attributes and all, but can't get succeed, can anyone here guide me on making these ? do i have make attribute sets or attributes or i have to code custom ?
magento
In default Magento you can have some thing like pic attached.. please view if this solve your problem ?
I have a script that bulk creates attributes and sets in Magento. The attributes and their sets look fine, and the settings are correct. When these attributes are created, I use AMartinez's customimpertexport script to bulk import products. These products do have the attributes correctly filled in.
If I look at a product in the back-end, they are there, with the correct values. When I take a look at the front-end however, the values are not displayed. Also, the layered navigation does not work (probably because of forementioned bug).
This makes me think there is something going wrong with linking attributes to products.
Since I'm pretty new at Magento, I don't know very much of it yet, so any explanations on how or why would be apreciated.
Check out your attributes' settings. "Use In Layered Navigation" and "Used in Product Listing" options should be enabled.
Also you should use default Magento import/export functionality. Just keep in mind that the script has a really strange and sillent way to handle exceptions in code formating and missing fields, only hard exceptions like missing SKU fields are displayed.
Here is a tutorial fromt he magento knowledge base

Also, you should check of the attribute is visible on the frontend.
I installed an extension to add custom fields to customer registration form.I want to add some option value in dropdown menu box of input validation in backend admin page..could you plz tell me the path of the folder where can I find the phtml file which is responsible for that part ?
-Thanks.
The files you are looking for are in:
app/design/adminhtml/default/default/template
But just changing the .phtml file won't do the job. The customer model itself should be extended to provide for your extra field. Therefore i highly recommend you to write a module for this instead of altering Magento core code. This to make sure that you can still use updates in the future.
Writing such an module requires more in depth knowledge of Magento. For more information on custom adminhtml see here.
For information on extending the core functionality look here.
If you don't feel like programming this all yourself take a look at customer attribute modules on Magento Connect.
I have magento demo shop and for example i want registered user to be available to post a product from frontend? Can anyone hook me up with some code showing how to make it? Is it even possible in magento?
It's certainly possible. It actually shouldn't be all that difficult. You're going to create a module, programmatically create an order, and link this page from somewhere. You should be able to hack one together with the following resources:
Programmatically Creating Orders - Inchoo
Creating a Custom Module part 1-8
yes dear it is possible, you have to create a module for that and i think you give to link/tab in customer account page in front side.in account page you provide form of add new product.you have also provide all option like in magento back end. but some customization are required
When you add customer attributes, Magento's admin dashboard for customer's automatically generates the relative form element for that new attribute.
Is there a way to do the same thing on the front end via a controller in a module?
nope, the frontend customer fields are hard coded, check out the phtml inside customer/form to see it.
What are you trying to achieve? Customer attributes are displayed on the form if "Show on frontend" is enabled. However those fields aren't saved from frontend by default. You need to extend fieldsets in your module for that, see config.xml in core Mage/Customer module
EDIT: actually that is true for enterprise edition, on CE you have to edit register.phtml (preferably by making a copy in your theme)
