I have one main website with one store and 2 store views.
I have added the products to the store and hopefully it will be visible in 2 views.
But here only English pages have the products displayed and no products are displayed on German pages.
I would like to have the products and English pages to be on the German pages too with translation in the name and description.
Please let me know whether it is possible in Magento.
Looking forward for your replies as soon as possible as I am stuck upon my project.
This is out-the-box.
From the sounds of it you may want to consider putting together a test build of Magento and installing the demo products. The instructions for this are on the Magento site. The demo products will provide you with a reference on how multi view works.

In Umbraco 7.5, I want to develop a custom 'module' (or whatever it is called in Umbraco) to maintain a product catalog. Products can have images, categories and attributes. Of course, I could make some document types and templates but I don't want to add products as content items. I need to be able to maintain a list of products in the back-end, and then use those products on content pages.
The umbraco documentation for developers is seriously lacking, and the most important pages are throwing 404 errors. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
There is not single place to get all those knowledge. Following articles will be helpful to you to getting started.

I think Ucommerce is the best to use in your situation and it works great with Umbraco.

I would like to develop TWO Magento websites under different domain names domainONE.com and domainTWO.com
I would like to have SOME (not all) products (Approximately 200 out of 5000) on both websites to be the same, but the Titles, Pictures and Descriptions must be different. The products must be mapped/linked somehow, most importantly the stock MUST be the same on both websites for these particular products and the stock must change on both websites when the product sells on either one of the websites
Example:
domainONE.COM (has 5000 products)
domainTWO.com (200 same products as on domainONE.COM, but the Title, Description and Pictures must be different. However when the product sells on EITHER domains the stock must be synchronized between both domains.
Any solutions?
Thank you in advance!
The Magento is made to solve problem like yours.
It is noy just two, you can share products between hundreds of sites. In fact many store owner configure Magento like you wanted to do. You just got the thr terminology wrong. They called it Multi-store management. In Magento, you can run multiple websites in single installation and have different product name, description or any property for each website - imagine scenario of multi-linguel websites.
You have to read and understand Magento's multi-store management at Wiki page http://www.magentocommerce.com/knowledge-base/entry/overview-how-multiple-websites-stores-work/
Magento already provide this type of feature.
All you need to do is, set up a multisite magento website.
And yes stock(Inventory) is managed globally by Magento, so I think in short this is all you need.

This might be a basic question, I'm still relatively new to Magento. I have 2 store views in a magento project. 1 for English (default) and 1 for Japanese. While working with both store views, I noticed how if for example I switch to the Japanese store view, if I redirected to a different page or content on the store, the language goes back to English. How do I prevent the website from going back to the default language every time I change categories/catalogs?
That is all about Magento Admin setting. While creating Content Pages/Categories/products, there is a option that ask to choose Store View.
You can add content for Cateogries/Product/CMS Pages for each locale. If it is done then you'll be able to see your site content on the basis of current locale. Hence you need to go through Magento Admin first.
Hope it will work for you. Please let me know if any issue.
Managing contents in multilingual stores in Magento is easy.
Edit/Create Product/Category/Page/Static blocks according to need storeview and put content according to languages in that.
Now access pages by store code, if we are using that.
In some case we don't find the heading names according to languages so just enable inline translater from admin and do translation specific to store/website.
To run Magento store using urls we have both options index.php modifiction and using .htaccess using website and store codes.
On running Magento multisite , multistore. We generally face the common urls for media, js and other resources we should use symlink to increase SEO ranking and score.
Please feel free to contact.
Install your language package.
Create products, categories, pages, and static blocks on the basis of your selected language.
Sometimes translation does not work for few words. In those cases, Inline translation from admin will help you.
Managing content according to store view is very easy.
follow up below steps for managing content according to Store view.
Edit your product or category or your page and static block etc.
after that you can see store select left side in product and category and on page you can see feild below url in static block also. select your store view.
whater ever you want to change or edit please do according to you.
After that save it will apear only on your selected store.
Note: if you not edit any fild by store then it will show default store contents.
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
System > Configuration > Advanced > Advanced
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!
This is what I’m trying to achieve on our dedicated server (Direct Admin):
1 Magento (1.6.2.0)
1 catalog
3 domains
domain.nl (is main and has the magento files)
domain.de (is domain alias, not Virtual Host, has no files at all)
domain.se (is domain alias, not Virtual Host, has no files at all)
3 languages
Dutch
German
Swedish
Shared Shopping Cart
SSL on Chekout
Let’s say a Dutch visitor is typing “product X” in Google and finds his product on our German site (domain.de). He adds it to the cart and likes to continue in Dutch. So he clicks the Dutch flag and should be able to checkout on domain.nl.
I tried a couple of things with the language. One way I had 3 websites, 1 for each domain and all with 3 stores, one for each language. So 9 stores and views in total. This was the only way I could get the flags showing. But most of the time the flag image was not showing because the code of the view had to be the 2 letter country code, which can only used once. And when I changed language (thus domain), the cart was not shared.
The other way I had 1 Website with 3 stores, one store and view for each language/domain. But in this case the language selector (flags) where not showing at all.
I’ve been reading allot about this. But all the (mostly old) topics or article I found are about a single subject and so different from each other that I cannot combine them into one.
Thanks for any help!!
Cheers,
Robert
I have played with this concept a bit and I believe this is how you would do it. Under Magento Admin->System->Manage Stores you would set up the following.
One Website (most likely Main Website)
One Store
Three Store Views (One for each language)
Then you will swing into System->Configuration. Select each specific language in the "Current Configuration Scope" then change General->Web->Unsecure->Base URL and General->Web->Secure->Base URL to the URL you want to use for each store. i.e. Your German configuration should not use the Website Setting and should be set to domain.de instead.
For each of your virtual hosts, configure them to all point to your single Magento install. When they come in with the specific URL Magento should route them to the proper language version and, if they select a flag, it should change to the other URL for that language.
Give this a try and let me know what your results are. I have only lightly played with this and have referenced these topics. I agree with you that this is an area that sometimes has too many ways it can be configured and not enough recommended ways.
