Hi rishcool_2007,
You can configure step of price ranges via admin panel. Log in into admin panel and go to System->Configuration->Catalog->Catalog->Layered Navigation. There select "Manual" in dropdown Price Navigation Step Calculation and enter prefered value into next input field.

Hi dfavors,
There is tier price functionality in native Magento. You can found it on edit product page on Prices tab. Unfortunately tier cost isn't implemented in Magento yet.

Hi bc2801,
You can use Magento API for this. It allows to get information about customers, create new ones, update existing, delete.
You can found more about Magento API in our wiki

Hi!

This limit is caused by database and currently maximum length of text field in MySQL is 65535 characters.

Hello,

Could you describe deeply your question? (what payment method is used, what information do you mean?)
 
Payment information block is depends from Payment method that was used. For example for "Credit Card (saved)" payment method Payment information in New Order e-mail doesn't contain Credit card expiration and CC Number is masked, this is done for security reasons. But you always can customise the e-mail using "Transactional Emails" functionality and output this information.

Hello,

Products can be linked into a group product using _associated_sku column in CSV file.

Hi,

You had to specify path for Administrative Panel during Magento installation. By default it is set to 'admin'. In this case, if you did not change this option during installation or maybe in admin panel after installation, the full URL looks something like this: http://example.com/admin

<DN>

Hi,







From there you can manage and set the required Inventory options for associated products by clicking on 'Edit' button.

<DN>

Hi,








Go to 'Display Settings' tab and be sure that the option for 'Default Product Listing Sort By' is set to 'Best Value' 

<DN>

Hi!

To add a custom option you should open the Edit page of a product and go to Custom Options tab
1. Click Add New Option button on the top right of this page
2. In the Title field, specify a name for this new property, such as the name Size.
2. In the Input Type field, select the type of input that can be given in this field, such as text or dropdown menu.
3. In the Is Required field, select Yes to indicate that this is a mandatory field, meaning that a customer must select an option in this field.
4. If there is more than one option, then specify the order in which this option appears in the Sort Order field. 1 indicates that it appears first.
5. If in Input Type field you selected a type from 'Select' group then
click the Add New Row button to display the following row in which you can define the new variation of this product. For example, the product in a certain size and its corresponding price
6. In the Title field, specify the name of this variation of the product, such as Size XL.
7. In the Price Type field, select one of the following options:
- Fixed: To specify that the price of this variation of the product differs from the price of the base product by a fixed monetary amount, such as $1.
- Percentage: To specify that the price of this variation of the product differs from the price of the base product by a percentage, such as 10%.
8. In the Price field, specify the difference between the price of this variation of the product and the price of the base product. Specify a fixed amount or a percentage according to the value that you entered in the Price Type field. You can also enter negative values.
9. In the SKU field, specify the SKU for this variation of the product.

Hi dikob,

Your code looks correctly, so probably problem isn't in it. Maybe your attributes are dropdowns with back-end type "int", but you are trying to specify string value. In this case Magento won't recognize this value as correct and will set default value.

Thanks,
<YP>

Hi jsamonie,

You are lucky if you haven't any customizations or any customizations are version compatible and upgradable. Otherwise, it's comlicated work, because the upgrade process with incompatible customizations is a very difficult process.
It's not recommended to start upgrade process without upgrade code review - this will help to found out which modules are compatible with new version and which should be re-factored or skipped during upgrade.
It's recommended to do upgrade process on development server and then just push code live.

Upgrade process:

• create new branch of existing project svn to store there upgraded project
• dump database, create copy for existing database, magento_bk
• copy your working development site directory html/ to backup directory: html_bk
• remove all files and directories from development site root directory
• checkout the desired branch of magento to development server document root directory
• copy community modules from backup to latest version
• copy local modules from backup directory to latest version
• copy frontend themes
• copy admin theme:
• copy skins:
• copy media directory data
• copy customization module config
• configure your local xml file to work with database backup, you can copy it from development server code backup
• setup file permissions
• resolve all problems
• commit new code to upgrade branch

Thanks,
<YP>

Hi alletec,

You can create different users roles with different permissions -
<role1> will have permissions to create order and process it
<role2> will have permissions only to process orders, but not create
So first user with <role1> will be able to create order and process it, but second user with <role2> will have permissions only to process orders, but not create.
All this features are in admin panel System->Permissions.

Thanks,

Hi yashjaipuria,

You can configure this in "Conditions" section of shopping cart price rules. Select there "Product attribute combination" then select in attributes dropdown "Sku" set "is not one of" and specify list of SKUs. If you don't see SKU in attribute dropdown, you should allow to use this attribute for Promo Rule Conditions. You can do this in admin panel Catalog->Attributes->Manage Attributes -> select your attribute from grid -> set "Use for Promo Rule Conditions" into "Yes".

Thanks,
<YP>

Hi,

You can receive this information using Magento Shopping Cart API

<OM>

Hi,

If I correctly understand, you have the same rule conditions and would like to provide several discounts? In this case you can create several rules with the same conditions and set different discounts. Also "Stop Further Rules Processing" action should be set to "No", to have multiple promotions active on the same products at once.

<OM>

Hi,

No, because mcrypt is a base encryption tool for magento, so this extension is required.

Hi!

Maybe Fixed Product Tax will help you. You can enable it in "System" > "Configuration" > "Tax" > "Fixed Product Taxes". Also your Product Attribute Sets should have attribute with "Catalog Input Type" = "Fixed Product Tax". After this you will be able to specify fixed tax for each product.

<SR>

Hi!

You should create new tax class under "Sales" > "Tax" > "Product Tax Classes" menu item and name it for example "One State 4.167". Then you need to create corresponding tax rate under "Sales" > "Tax" > "Manage Tax Zones & Rates", where you can select needed state. After this you should create tax rule under "Sales" > "Tax" > "Manage Tax Rules", where you will select newly created tax class and tax rate. That's all, now you can create new products(or edit old ones) that will have new tax class. Also you can ommit first step(creating new tax class) if you don't want products to have specific tax class and won creating new tax rule select all existing tax classes available, then this tax rule will be applied to all taxable products.

Hi!

Hello,

You can subtract discount amount from subtotal

$amount = number_format($order->getSubtotal() - $order->getDiscountAmount(),2);

Is it the value that you need?

Thanks

Hello,

The structure of PDF view is hardcoded in the classes Mage_Sales_Model_Order_Pdf_... but you can change some of these models (using <rewrite> tag in the config of your module) to add your logic, or you can substitute the button "Print" (on invoice/shipment view page) and set for it a new URL.

Thanks

<AK>

Hello,

However the error should be logged somewhere. Did you try to check server's log (for example, apache or nginx)?

Thanks

<AK>

Hello,

Do you mean you want to add new payment method which will allow the customers to pay order using a special payment service provider?

You should create a new Magento module for this payment method, you can read about it here: http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/5_-_modules_and_development/payment/create-payment-method-module

Thanks.

Hi!
I think simple product custom options are what you're looking for. In admin area on edit product page there is tab called "Custom Oprions" - here you can specify Size option with type "Drop-down" and add as many sizes as you want, at frontend customer will be able to choose corresponding size.

<SR>

When you running the Export Profile there was "Profile Wizard" tab, this tab contains  "File Information" section where you can choose Local or Remote server, file path on server and file name.
I presumed that you run "Export All Products" profile, by default it saves information about products into {your-magento-install-root}/var/export/export_all_products.csv file.

<OM>

In admin panel you can follow to Cms->Pages to create a new page. Make sure to use proper URL Key which you have for link.

Hi!
There is "Free Shipping" method in admin under "System" > "Configuration" > "Sales" > "Shipping Methods". And there is "Minimum Order Amount" option which you can set to $50 to achive your goal.

<SR>

Hi!
The possible reason is your server settings, maybe you should increase php memory_limit or max_execution_time values.
However please provide more information about your problem - for example web-server error logs or Magento exception log...

<SR>

Hi wwessie,

You should change your configuration of price attribute from global to website. In this case you'll be able to change prices for each website. To do this go in admin panel System->Configuration->Catalog->Price and change scope to "Website".

Thanks,
<YP>

Hi kgoldstein,

You can use import of images and there specify one image for all products.

Thanks,
<YP>

Hi ljohnson,

Yes, disabling products prevents them from showing on front-end, so you'll got 404.

Thanks,
<YP>

Hi ljohnson,

You can just configure your products as 'Out of stock' (you can do it Inventory tab of product edit page). In this case, products will be still visible on front-end but no one can buy them.

Thanks,
<YP>

Hi midast,

It's possible to create order from admin panel and then place it from front-end. Go to sales orders grid. There is button "Create new order". Select customer and fill needed information, then add selected products to customers shopping cart. After this customer can go through checkout process from front-end.

Thanks,
<YP>

Hi dolphex,

You should configure sales notifications at first. You can do it in admin panel System->Configuration->Sales->Sales Emails

Thanks,
<YP>

Hi!
Admin menu items can be added through module configuration xml file called adminhtml.xml. You can look at Magento core and find some example - one of them located at "app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/etc/adminhtml.xml"

<SR>

Hi!
I think it`s better to cancel wrong order through admin and create new one.

<SR>

Hi
In Magento's index.php file you can see the code:

/* Store or website code */
$mageRunCode = isset($_SERVER['MAGE_RUN_CODE']) ? $_SERVER['MAGE_RUN_CODE'] : '';

/* Run store or run website */
$mageRunType = isset($_SERVER['MAGE_RUN_TYPE']) ? $_SERVER['MAGE_RUN_TYPE'] : 'store';

Mage::run($mageRunCode, $mageRunType);

So, in the nginx virtual hosts configuration you should set variables MAGE_RUN_CODE and MAGE_RUN_TYPE for each host. Where MAGE_RUN_TYPE should be = 'website', and MAGE_RUN_CODE should be code of website (these codes are set in admin System -> Manage Stores -> Сreate Website).

Also, there is the second way  - create different index.php files for each website, and in these files run Magento with different options. For instance:

Mage::run('first_site', 'wibsite');

and

Mage::run('second_site', 'wibsite');

Hi,
If you want to add new total to quote, first of all you need to create new total collector model, which will be responsible for collecting and fetching your total. In Magento Mage_Sales_Model_Quote_Address_Total_Abstract class is used as parent for new total collector models. Then you need to register your total, for this you need to describe your total in configuration.
For example, if you open app/code/core/Mage/Sales/etc/config.xml, node //global/sales/quote/totals, you will see several registered totals, so if you have namespace - MyNamespace and module - MyModule, and you will create MyNamespace_MyModule_Model_Total total collector model, then you description in xml will look like:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
    <!-- ... -->
    <global>
        <!-- ... -->
        <sales>
            <quote>
                <totals>
                    <custom_total>
                        <class>mynamespace_mymodule/total</class>
                    </custom_total>
                </totals>
                <!-- ... -->
            </quote>
            <!-- ... -->
        </sales>
        <!-- ... -->
    </global>
    <!-- ... -->
</config>    

Also you are able to set after or before which totals you total should be calculated, this can be done via <before></before>, <after></after> tags.

Hi sampal,
There are no one table that contains all needed information. Magento products are stored in EAV tables. So table what will contain your data depends on type of your attribute. For example, if you attribute has type varchar is named 'user_id' and you would like to select product ids of products, that have value of this attribute '2' query will look like

SELECT cpe.entity_id
  FROM catalog_product_entity AS cpe
       INNER JOIN catalog_product_entity_varchar AS cpev
          ON cpev.entity_id = cpe.entity_id
       INNER JOIN eav_attribute AS ea
          ON cpev.attribute_id = ea.attribute_id
 WHERE ea.attribute_code = 'user_id' AND cpev.value = '2'

<YP>

Hi madaboutu,
Just re-index them all. Go by link that you specify, select all indexes, action "Reindex Data" and click "Submit" button,
<YP>

Hello.
Product data in magento stored un EAV (Entity Attribute Value) system.
To understand where and how it stored, look first at eav_entity_type table:
Entity which corresponds to products is - catalog_product. So to get basic information you may do following:

 select * from eav_entity_type where entity_type_code = 'catalog_product'

You will probably find, that entity_type_id=4 for catalog_product.
Next step is to figure out which attributes are available for product. For doing this you should explore eav_attribute table. It consists basic properties of attributes (like their names and types), while for some entities there is also additional attribute table - in our case catalog_eav_attribute.

So to figure out which attributes are available for product you may do following query:

select * from eav_attribute where entity_type_id=4;

Most important for you at this moment will be backend_type attribute. It states in which table value of certain attribute will be located.
Thus the following correspondence holds true:
static => catalog_product_entity
int     => catalog_product_entity_int
decimal => catalog_product_entity_decimal
text => catalog_product_entity_text
varchar => catalog_product_entity_varchar
datetime => catalog_product_entity_datetime.

So, that tables where values of your attributes are stored. Note, that same attribute may have different values on different stores (store_id field in each 'value' table).

Hope it helps.

Hi.
First of all you should to create User Role where you can set limit on resources, and then create customer with this role.

In the admin menu:
1. Go to System -> Permissions -> Roles
2. Create new role, click button "Add New Role"
3. Enter "Role Name"
4. Click on tab "Role Resources"
5. Select in the drop-down "Resource Access" option "Custom" and you can see tree with all available resources
6. Select resources you want to share for new user (for instance, mark only Catalog > Manage Products checkboxes)
7. Save role (click on button "Save Role")

Create new admin user:
8. Go to System -> Permissions -> Users
9. Create new user, click button "Add New User"
10. Fill form with user info
11. Open tab "User Role"
12. Choose your new created role (click on this role in the grid)
13. Save user (click on button "Save User")

So, new user was created and when you login him, you can see that only menu "Catalog -> Manage Product" is available.
