In order to configure tier pricing please follow the steps below:
1. Log in to the Magento admin panel and open the product configuration page.
2. In the “Prices” tab you can see the “Tier Price” section. Tier
prices are used for those customers who are willing to order multiple
products and you want to reward them by giving a discount. Once you’ve
added the tier price, you can select the customer group that the price
will be valid for.
3. Set the website, the quantity of products and a new price.
Hello Magento lovers!, have you ever wanted to display New products
in your store by just setting the product “Set Product as New from Date”
within the product configuration in your Admin-panel?. It simple,
luckily Magento provides php functions to do almost anything you wish,
in this case we’ll use the
Mage::getResourceModel(‘catalog/product_collection’) features:
We’ll create a template file called: new_products.phtml
The content would be:
It is rather inconvenient to manually add a large number of products
at once to a Magento installation. Inserting products one by one will
take a long time especially when you have hundreds or thousands of
products.In such cases you need an automatic way to add all those
products to your Magento online store. We will address all steps you
need to take in order to achieve a successful import.
First, access your Magento administrator backend and go to Catalog -> Manage Categories.
Create all product categories you will need. You can do so by filling the form displayed below:
When you fill the form with all the information you like click the Save Category button.
Bear in mind that at this point you should make note of the newly
created category ids. It would be best to save them in a simple text
file as you will need them for the import. The category ID will be
displayed upon saving the category. It is recommended to make notes as
shown below
If you plan to have additional attributes for the products you are importing you will need to create those via Catalog ->Attributes ->Manage Attributes -> Add new Attribute.
You can use this functionality to add all custom attributes that are
not present by default in a standard Magento installation. Note also
that you can add additional attributes later at the moment you are
creating a sample product. It is up to you whether to create the
attributes before that or at the point you are creating the first
product.
The next step is to manually add a product to your Magento
installation. You will later export this product and use it as a
template for importing the large batch. Make sure you include all
attributes you will use for the products you are going to import in the
sample product. You might want to delete all default products that might
be present as you will not need them and then create the new product
you will use as a template for the import.
Once you create the new product and save it it will appear in the products list for your Magento store.
You are now ready to make the sample export that you will use as a template. In the Magento administrator area go to System -> Import/Export -> Dataflow – Profiles -> Export All Products. Under Profile Information -> Store
choose the desired store where you will be importing the products. This
should also match the store where you have previously created a sample
product. Under Data Transfer drop down menu choose Local/Remote Server. Under Data Format make sure CSV / Tab Separated is selected for type and click Save Profile. Then click export all products again and click Run Profile in Popup.
This will save a file named “export_all_products.csv” under the
var/export/ directory for your Magento installation. The export success
screen will look like this and will specify the file name where the
products were exported.
Using an FTP client
download this file to your local computer. The file will include
columns for each of the attributes you have defined for your products.
Open it in a spreadsheet program (MS Excel, Open Office Spreadsheet) and
add the products you would like to import. Make sure you are
copy/pasting the corresponding attributes in the correct columns. Also
here is when you will have to add the category IDs. Use the IDs from the
text file you saved earlier and put the corresponding category ID for
the products you are adding.
Once you have accomplished the above go back to the Magento administrator area and choose System -> Import/Export -> Dataflow – Profiles -> Import All Products.
Then choose Upload file and browse for the .csv file that you have
updated with the products that need to be imported. Once you have
uploaded it click Import All Products again, then Run Profile, select
the .csv file you have just uploaded from the drop down menu and click
Run Profile in Popup. A status screen will open and the products will
start importing
When the import completes you will get an export success message.
You can now go to the products section of the Magento administrator
backend and check the imported products. They will be present there and
assigned to the corresponding categories with the attributes you have
added for them.
In order to manage your web site pages you need to navigate to the CMS section in the Magento admin area. Click on the Manage Pages link in order to proceed with the pages modification.
You can edit a page by clicking on it. The Edit Page will open the window below:
You can modify this page to your preference. Static blocks
is another useful option. For example, you can edit the footer block
which contains the links located at the bottom of your main page:
The Polls section allows you to create and edit polls:
Actually, magento has a fully-featured CMS system integrated in it.
Browse through the pages to see the different elements you can add to
your site.
Step1
First goto “app\design\frontend\default\[your theme directory]\template\page”
make a copy of your template page it can be “1column.phtml” or “2columns-right.phtml”…. whatever you are using.
rename it to “restricted.phtml” and paste the below code just after body tag starts.
<?php <code>$login</code> <code>= Mage::getSingleton( </code><code>'customer/session'</code> <code>)->isLoggedIn(); </code><code>//Check if User is Logged In</code>
<div><code> </code><code>$msg</code> <code>= Mage::getSingleton(</code><code>'core/session'</code><code>)->addError(</code><code>$this</code><code>->__(</code><code>'Please Sign in / Register first to access this page.'</code><code>));</code></div>
Now open you “admin” ,” cms” and “add new page”
and you will find new select option under “design” tab in “Layout” option.
just select “Only Restricted/ sign in user”. Rest will be handelled by the code
I feel the “Log In”-link in the header is waste of space as the “My
Account”-link on the left side in the same area does the trick pretty
ok, but I havent figured out how to remove it from the loop in the code
which generated those toplinks.
I would need to add a “Logout”-box in the “My Account” area if this
was to be removed, or place a “Logout”-link somewhere else, but guess
that wont be any problem.
You have to go to app/design/frontend/default/default/layout/customer.xml.
Remove the action method :
Magento includes contact form functionality by default. A link to a
contact form can usually be found in the footer of your Magento
installation.
Of course, you can add a contact form on any page. All you need to do is: Log in to the administrator area.
Go to CMS > Pages.
Select the page you want to edit or create a new page.
Paste the following code using the HTML option of the WYSIWYG editor:
<!– CONTACT FORM CODE BEGIN–>
{{block type='core/template' name='contactForm' template='contacts/form.phtml'}}
<!– CONTACT FORM CODE END–>
Save the changes and the contact form will appear on the desired page.
