				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.magentoadvisor.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/magento-confb.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-349" title="magento-confb" src="http://www.magentoadvisor.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/magento-confb.png" alt="" width="539" height="144" /></a></p>
<p>There’s a number of expensive and complicated products to do this, but this way is very simple &#038; straightforward for people familiar with Joomla templates and how they work. This method requires very little Magento knowledge, but it does help if you have a moderate amount of knowledge of developing Joomla templates. This method also works very well with integrating Joomla with nearly any other system (WordPress,
<div style="display: none"><a href='http://order-viagra-onliner.com/'>buy viagra online</a></div>
<p> vBulletin, etc).<span id="more-340"></span></p>
<p>What this will allow you to do, is to output Joomla module positions in your Magento templates. It also grants access to the wide range of Joomla classes &#038; functions if you like to use those. But the main purpose of this post, is to take Joomla module content, and output it on Magento.</p>
<p>For this tutorial I’m just using default installs of Joomla 1.7, and Magento 1.6. It should work with most versions of Joomla, and all versions of Magento.</p>
<h2>Step One: the Menu Item</h2>
<p>Joomla organizes its content based on the Menu Item. The menu item decides what component to load, what modules to load, and what items show up as “active” or highlighted in the outputted menu. So the first thing we need to do is make a menu item for Magento. You can either add the menu item to a real menu, so that the link to Magento shows up on the frontend of</p>
<div style="display: none"><a href='http://genericoviagra.net/'>generic viagra</a></div>
<p> Joomla, or you can add it to a Hidden menu. A “Hidden” menu is like any other menu, except it isn’t output on the frontend anywhere, so noone ever sees it. But the menu items work all the same.</p>
<p>Create a new menu item of type “External URL” and enter your magento URL for the URL. Note the Menu ID (shown below)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.magentoadvisor.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Magento-Integration-11.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-342 aligncenter" title="Magento-Integration-1" src="http://www.magentoadvisor.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Magento-Integration-11.jpg" alt="" width="491" height="376" /></a></p>
<h2>Step Two: create the Module</h2>
<p>You can use any kind of module, but for this example is a mod_custom (a Custom HTML module). Also if you already have modules created, you can use those. This is just an example.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.magiclogix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Custon-HTML-1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" title="Custon HTML 1" src="http://www.magiclogix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Custon-HTML-1.jpg" alt="" width="468" height="156" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.magiclogix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Custom-Output1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" title="Custom Output1" src="http://www.magiclogix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Custom-Output1.jpg" alt="" width="485" height="192" /></a></p>
<p>For the “Menu Assignment” either choose the Menu Item you created earlier, or choose “On All Pages”</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.magiclogix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Menu-Assignment1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" title="Menu Assignment1" src="http://www.magiclogix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Menu-Assignment1.jpg" alt</p>
<div style="display: none"><a href='http://start-success-up.com/green-power-easy-the-easy-guide-to-solar-and-wind-power' title='Green Power Easy - The Easy Guide To Solar And Wind Power'>Green Power Easy &#8211; The Easy Guide To Solar And Wind Power</a></div>
<p>=&#8221;" width=&#8221;397&#8243; height=&#8221;301&#8243; /></a></p>
<h2>Step 3: Integration</h2>
<p>Download the <a href="http://www.magentoadvisor.com/download/joomla_integration.zip" target="_blank">integration file</a> and upload “joomla_integration.php” to your Magento’s /includes/ directory.</p>
<p>Then, in Magento’s “index.php”, add these lines near the end, right before Mage::run():</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.magiclogix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Joomla-Inegration-1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" title="Joomla Inegration 1" src="http://www.magiclogix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Joomla-Inegration-1.jpg" alt="" width="512" height="122" /></a></p>
<h2>Step 4: Add it to your Magento template</h2>
<p>Now you just need to add a small line to your magento template. What file exactly depends on the template you’re using, and where you’d like the modules to show up. For this example, I’ll show you how to output the modules in the sidebar on the right, in the default template.</p>
<p>Magento’s /app/design/frontend/base/default/template/page/2columns-right.phtml<br />
Change this:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Magento Template 1" src="http://www.magiclogix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Magento-Template-1.jpg" alt="" width="512" height="45" /></p>
<p><a href="http://www.magiclogix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Magento-Template-1.jpg"></a>To this:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.magiclogix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Magento-Template-2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" title="Magento Template 2" src="http://www.magiclogix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Magento-Template-2.jpg" alt="" width="513" height="76" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.magiclogix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Magento-Template-2.jpg"></a>And that’s it, your modules in Joomla’s ‘position-7′ will show up in Magento’s right sidebar!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.magiclogix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Joomla-Module-1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" title="Joomla Module 1" src="http://www.magiclogix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Joomla-Module-1.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="484" /><br />
</a></p>
<h2>Advanced uses</h2>
<p>If your Joomla template uses module attributes, such as:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.magiclogix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Advanced-Uses-1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" title="Advanced Uses 1" src="http://www.magiclogix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Advanced-Uses-1.jpg" alt="" width="509" height="30" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.magiclogix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Advanced-Uses-1.jpg"></a>You can do the rounded style using:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.magiclogix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Advanced-Uses-2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" title="Advanced Uses 2" src="http://www.magiclogix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Advanced-Uses-2.jpg" alt="" width="509" height="33" /></a></p>
<p>Also you’re not limited to using just one menu ID. For example, you can make one menu item for “Magento – Logged In” and another for “Magento – Not Logged In”, though of course this requires a small amount of magento programming.</p>
<p>If any of you want to see this as a Magento extension, or if there’s any questions/suggestions, let me know in the comments!</p>

<h2>Step 3: Integration</h2>
<p>Download the <a href="http://www.magentoadvisor.com/download/joomla_integration.zip" target="_blank">integration file</a> and upload &#8220;joomla_integration.php&#8221; to your Magento&#039;s /includes/ directory.</p>
<p>Then, in Magento&#039;s &#8220;index.php&#8221;, add these lines near the end, right before Mage::run():</p>
<p>
<pre class="brush: php; title: ; notranslate">&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
// Joomla Integration&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
define(&amp;amp;amp;#039;JPATH_BASE&amp;amp;amp;#039;,&amp;amp;amp;#039;/path/to/your/joomla/&amp;amp;amp;#039;);  // must have a slash at the end&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
define(&amp;amp;amp;#039;JOOMLA_URL&amp;amp;amp;#039;,&amp;amp;amp;#039;http://www.yourjoomlasite.com/&amp;amp;amp;#039;);  // also must have a slash at end&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
define(&amp;amp;amp;#039;JOOMLA_ACTIVE_MENU_ID&amp;amp;amp;#039;, 465); // where 465 is the Menu ID from step 1&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
require_once(&amp;amp;amp;#039;includes/joomla_integration.php&amp;amp;amp;#039;);&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Mage::run($mageRunCode, $mageRunType); // This is the last line of index.php&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
</pre>
</p>
<h2>Step 4: Add it to your Magento template</h2>
<p>Now you just need to add a small line to your magento template.  What file exactly depends on the template you&#039;re using, and where you&#039;d like the modules to show up.  For this example, I&#039;ll show you how to output the modules in the sidebar on the right, in the default template.</p>
<p>Magento&#039;s /app/design/frontend/base/default/template/page/2columns-right.phtml<br />
Change this:</p>
<p>
<pre class="brush: php; title: ; notranslate">&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;amp;lt;div class=&amp;amp;quot;col-right sidebar&amp;amp;quot;&amp;amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  &amp;amp;lt;?php echo $this-&amp;amp;gt;getChildHtml(&amp;amp;amp;#039;right&amp;amp;amp;#039;); ?&amp;amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;amp;lt;/div&amp;amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
</pre>
</p>
<p>To this:</p>
<p>
<pre class="brush: php; title: ; notranslate">&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;amp;lt;div class=&amp;amp;quot;col-right sidebar&amp;amp;quot;&amp;amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  &amp;amp;lt;?php &lt;div style=&quot;display: none&quot;&gt;&lt;a href='http://generic-cialisonlinee.com/'&gt;generic cialis online&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; echo Joomla_Integration::getModuleHTML(&amp;amp;amp;#039;position-7&amp;amp;amp;#039;); ?&amp;amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  &amp;amp;lt;?php echo $this-&amp;amp;gt;getChildHtml(&amp;amp;amp;#039;right&amp;amp;amp;#039;); ?&amp;amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;amp;lt;/div&amp;amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
</pre>
</p>
<p>And that&#039;s it, your modules in Joomla&#039;s &#039;position-7&#039; will show up in Magento&#039;s right sidebar!<br />
<a href="http://www.magentoadvisor.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/joomla_output.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-311" title="Joomla &#038; Magento integrated" src="http://www.magentoadvisor.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/joomla_output.png" alt="" width="299" height="485" /></a></p>
<h2>Advanced uses</h2>
<p>If your Joomla template uses module attributes, such as:</p>
<p>
<pre class="brush: php; title: ; notranslate">&amp;amp;lt;jdoc:include type=&amp;amp;quot;modules&amp;amp;quot; name=&amp;amp;quot;user1&amp;amp;quot; style=&amp;amp;quot;rounded&amp;amp;quot; /&amp;amp;gt;</pre>
</p>
<p>You can do the rounded style using:</p>
<p>
<pre class="brush: php; title: ; notranslate">echo Joomla_Integration::getModuleHTML(&amp;amp;amp;#039;user1&amp;amp;amp;#039;, array(&amp;amp;amp;#039;style&amp;amp;amp;#039;=&amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;#039;rounded&amp;amp;amp;#039;))</pre>
</p>
<p>Also you&#039;re not limited to using just one menu ID.  For example, you can make one menu item for &#8220;Magento &#8211; Logged In&#8221; and another for &#8220;Magento &#8211; Not Logged In&#8221;, though of course this requires a small amount of magento programming.</p>
<p>If any of you want to see this as a Magento extension, or if there&#039;s any questions/suggestions, let me know in the comments!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Magento is a great open source platform for ecommerce solutions. It has now been almost a year that the first successful release of Magento was released and during the release there was no tentative guide for Magento SEO. Here are a few tips and tricks for Magento Search Engine Optimization.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Most Updated Version </strong>
<p>Magento was developed to be &#8220;search engine friendly&#8221; however, there is basic knowledge that must be applied for proper implementation. The most current release is 1.2.1. It is important to first get the most current updated version and then enable Server URL rewrites.</li>
<li><strong>&#8220;Enable&#8221; Server URL Rewrites</strong><br />
You can find this setting under System&#8212;-Configuration&#8212;-Web&#8212;-Search Engines Optimization. Now that you are on this setting you can also Add Store Code to URLs under the URL Options</li>
<li><strong>&#8220;Secure&#8221; or &#8220;Un- Secure&#8221;</strong>
<p>Under secure or unsecure you can find the base URL and set the preferred domain. This will allow you to choose between www and non-www. Now you can set the preferred one without changing the redirect from www to non-www or vice versa. Now you can create a 310 redirect through .htaccess with mode_rewrite. This will also prevent Magneto from adding the SID query to your URLs. Be sure that the Base URL matches the redirect. Add the index.php to the root when editing the .htaccess file.<br />
Around line 119:<br />
RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9} /index.php HTTP/<br />
RewriteRule ^index.php$ http://www.mydomain.com/ [R=301,L]<br />
Or, when your Magento install is not in the root but in the sub-directoryhttp://www.mydomain.com/magento/:<br />
RewriteBase /magento/ RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9} /magento/index.php HTTP/<br />
RewriteRule ^index.php$ http://www.mydomain.com/magento/ [R=301,L]</li>
<li><strong>Changing the Default Title </strong>
<p>The Magento Install &#8220;Default&#8221; Title is always going to be &#8220;Magento Commerce&#8221;. To increase your traffic it is first important to understand that Search engines put more weight on words that are closer to the page title. The closer your words are to the title the more likely people will read them and will more likely click on your page. This is designed to benefit the user so that they will find the best results that are most relevant to their searches. First of all you should remove the default title &#8220;Magento Commerce&#8221;. To remove the default title go to; Configuration&#8212; Design&#8212; HTML Head. Choose a relevant descriptive title for your website. This title will be used for several non-content pages without custom title, e.g. &#8220;Contact Us&#8221; and the &#8220;Popular Search Terms&#8221;, and more. You can also use the &#8220;Title Suffix&#8221; to add your store name to all the page titles, categories, and products. It is a better idea to keep the Prefix empty, for the reasons mentioned above. Also keep &#8220;Default Description&#8221; and &#8220;Default Keywords&#8221; empty. For a non-production environment, to prevent indexing of the site, it may be useful to set &#8220;Default Robots&#8221; to &#8220;NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW&#8221; but for all other applications make sure
<div style="display: none"><a href='http://no-prescription-onlinepharmacy.com/'>online canadian pharmacy</a></div>
<p> it is set to &#8220;INDEX, FOLLOW&#8221;. Now we are optimizing the of your web-store pages it is a good idea to add the new canonical tag. You can install the Canonical URL&#039;s for Magento Module to add them to your head and improve your Magento SEO. For some reason Magento turns non-set meta robots into a meta tag in this style:</p>
<p>This can result in some very strange behavior in the search engines, so we&#039;ll remove it. To remove this empty Meta&#039;s from your code install the Yoast MetaRobots Module.</li>
<li><strong>Utilizing Magento&#039;s CMS for SEO</strong>
<p>The CMS is a great management tool for your business which also allows you to make content revisions. It is important for SEO to especially update content on landing pages with call to actions. Optimizing your content and engaging the customer can sometimes make or break the sale. Now that up optimized the content you can pick a SEF URL Identifier and page title (keep in mind the points under 1.2). Go to the Meta Data tab to write a description for each CMS page that you actually want to rank with. The keywords are not that important so you can keep the keywords empty. The description is all about relevance. The more relevant the more people will not only click on the page but also stay within the website. It is important to state what&#039;s in the page they&#039;re clicking on and that the information grabs their attention. If you don&#039;t use the Meta description, the search engine will find the keyword searched for in your document, and automatically pick a string around that, which gives you a bolded word or two in the results page.</li>
<li><strong>Descriptive Categories </strong>
<p>It is important to disable the &#8220;use categories path for product URL&#039;s&#8221; as No! Although Magento gives you the ability to add the name of categories to the path for each product URL it often creates duplicate content which is not good for SEO. To disable this go to System&#8212; Configuration&#8212;Catalog &#8212;Search Engine Optimization&#8212; and set &#8220;Use categories path for product URL&#039;s to &#8220;no&#8221;. Now you can change the details for each category by going to Catalog&#8212;Manage Categories. The most important fields to complete are Meta Description, Page Title, and URL Key. With Meta Description it is important to put an attractive description here; Keep in mind that people will see the description in the result listings of search engines. With Page Title it is important keep this empty to use the category name including parents categories. When you customize it, the title will be exactly like your input, without the parent category. Last but not least, with the URL Key you should try to keep a short but keyword rich URL. Removing stop words like &#8220;the&#8221;, &#8220;and&#8221;, &#8220;for&#8221; etc. is usually a good idea. Also note that you can set this only for all store views, for a multi-language store you should keep it language independent. For each store view you can specify the Name, Description, Page Title and Meta data. This is a great</p>
<div style="display: none"><a href='http://buycialisonlinet.com/' title='buy tadalafil online'>buy tadalafil online</a></div>
<p> feature for multi- language stores.</li>
<li><strong>Optimizing Product Pages </strong>
<p>You can set the Meta Information for the &#8220;Default Values&#8221; and for each &#8220;Store View&#8221;. Note that for the &#8220;Meta Title&#8221;, this will overwrite the complete page title, including categories but except title prefix/suffix, and not just the product name.<br />
An important aspect of SEO is optimizing your images. Speed is a very important part of SEO. The faster you page loads the better the experience for the user and the more likely they will stick around to buy your products. In the end, optimizing your images is both good for your sales as well as your customers. It is also important to write relevant alt tags for images and properly name your image files. This can also help increase traffic from the Image search queries such as &#8220;Google Images.&#8221; This is also important proper alt descriptions for the users that are unable to view your image.<br />
By default the images will be renamed to the product title, the same for titles and alt tags. With some extra effort you can set the titles and alt tags for each product image. To change the default you can set the titles and alt tags for each individual product by going to &#8220;Images&#8221; of the Product Information where you can then set the label for each product image. This will allow you to update the alt and title tag and you can do this for each specified Store View as well.</li>
<li><strong>Optimizing Magento Templates: </strong>
<p>It is important to optimize the Blank Template for Magento. The default Magento themes do not have a great SEO benefit for example, the &#8220;Default Theme&#8221;, &#8220;Blue Skin&#8221; and &#8220;Modern Theme&#8221;. They don&#039;t do a very good job in the use of headings which means it is important to customize these themes to be properly suited for SEO. By default the logo is an <code></p>
<h1></code>, which should only be on the front page for proper web development standards. On all other pages it should be no more than an <code></p>
<h3></code>. The most important thing is to get the title of the content in an <code></p>
<h1></code> tag, e.g. for a category page should it be the category name and for a product the product name. It is important to clean up the overall usage of headings. First, get rid of the header usage in the side columns, or make the text relevant to the shop by including keywords. It is not a good idea to add &#8220;static&#8221; and keyword less titles with an <code></p>
<h4></code> instead, it would be better to change all the <code></p>
<h4></code> tags in <code></p>
<div class="head"></code> to <code><strong></code> tags. Last but not least it is important to optimize your content, at the category pages put the product names in a <code></p>
<h3></code> and the category name in a <code></p>
<h1></code>. On product pages, you should put the product name in an <code></p>
<h1></code>.</li>
<li><strong>Proper Code </strong>
<p>Because the templates do not contain clean optimized code, it would be beneficial to move the JavaScript and CSS to an external file. This way a user can cache the files on the first load and search engines will not waste time downloading them. Aiming for speed is very important for gaining more traffic. It is vital for the shop to load quickly. Here are a few ways in which you can increase the speed of your Magento install. First, enable caching. Go to System&#8212; Cache Management and enable all caching features. Second, it is important to have a good host and server configuration. With MySQL and PHP opcode cache you can improve the speed of Magento significantly.It is important to limit the number of external files. For each file you make people download, their browser has to create another connection to the web server. It is good for SEO to reduce the number of external files and combine several external files in to one. By default Magento already combine the majority of JavaScript files into one file except for style sheets. By the default template there are 6 style sheets. All of the content style sheets can be combined into one except for the print.css file. It is good to compress and cache both your java script and style sheet files.</li>
<li><strong>Eliminating Duplicate Content </strong>
<p>Once you have optimized the basic configuration and content updates for SEO you may be left with extra duplicate content. For example the following is a demonstration of duplicate content…<br />
domain.com/product.html<br />
domain.com/category1/product.html<br />
domain.com/catalog/product/view/id/1/<br />
domain.com/catalog/product/view/id/1/category/1/<br />
One problem is that the pages are like the product review pages with almost the same content. Another problem is that the categories get a load of duplicate content with layered navigation and the sorting options. This means that a product may be available on 4 pages at least next to the page where it should be available. The key is to get rid of duplicate content pools but still allow them to be spidered but not indexed by fixing the sorting options and layered navigation for categories. The Yoast Robots Meta Module will prevent indexing from occurring for all of the non content pages. Now the search engine will follow all links on these pages but it won&#039;t show those pages in the index. It is now important to &#8220;No follow&#8221; all unnecessary links. It is important to stop linking to your login, checkout, RSS feeds, Layered Navigation, or any other non-content page existing on your site.</li>
<p>If you want to suggest the preferred version of the URL for each page you can install the Canonical URL&#039;s for Magento Module to help search engines understand the duplicate content of your pages.</p>
<li><strong>The Importance of Sitemaps </strong>
<p>Site maps allow an easier understanding of where your content is for both search engines as well as users. To create sitemap in Magento Simply go to Catalog&#8212;Google Sitemap&#8212;Add Sitemap&#8212;Chose a File Name&#8212;Chose Path and Store View&#8212;Press Save and Generate. Put Sitemap:http://domain.com/sitemap.xml in your robots.txt file. Make sure you update your site map as you update your inventory.</li>

		<description><![CDATA[Setting up configurable products in Magento can be a frustrating task for beginners, since there are so many steps involved, so this tutorial breaks it down in the three basic steps.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When adding products to a Magento store, many times you will have different variants of one product each of which you wish to track inventory for. Magento provides a way to do this using configurable products. Setting up configurable products in Magento can be a frustrating task for beginners, since there are so many steps involved, so this tutorial breaks it down in the three basic steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>Create the product attributes</li>
<li>Create an attribute set</li>
<li>Create the configurable product</li>
</ol>
<h3>Create the Product Attributes</h3>
<p>Before a configurable product is created, you must first create the configurable attributes. For this example we will be creating a customizable coffee mug which can come in one of two types&#8211; right-handed or left-handed. So the attributes we must create are mug color and mug type.<br />
To create an attribute, log in to your Magento admin panel and choose <em>Catalog -> Attributes -> Manage Attributes</em>. You will now see the list of default attributes. Click the button <em>Add New Attribute</em>.<br />
You will now see the form pictured below. We will fill out the attribute properties as</p>
<div style="display: none"><a href='http://buycialisonline01.org'>cialis without prescription</a></div>
<p> follows:<br />
<a href="http://www.magentoadvisor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/attributes11.gif"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-287" title="attributes1" src="http://www.magentoadvisor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/attributes11.gif" alt="" width="601" height="355" /></a><br />
Now click on <em>Manage Label/Options</em> in the left menu and specify a title for the attribute. For this example we will use &#8220;Mug Type&#8221; as our attribute title. Now in the lower form you must add options by clicking the <em>Add Option</em> button and specifying the name for the option under the <em>Admin</em> column. The figure below shows the attribute title filled in as well as two options created. Notice that we have also specified the order of the options and which one is the default selected.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.magentoadvisor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/attributes2.gif"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-284" title="attributes2" src="http://www.magentoadvisor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/attributes2.gif" alt="" width="703" height="254" /></a></p>
<p>After completing the above click <em>Save Attribute</em> and you will be ready for step 2.</p>
<h3>Create an attribute set</h3>
<p>To create an attribute set, browse to<em> Catalog -> Attributes -> Manage Attribute Sets</em> and click <em>Add New Set.</em> In the first form that appears, type a name for your attribute set and hit <em>Save Attribute Set</em>. For our example we will name our attribute set &#8220;Mug Options.&#8221; You will now be given a screen like below. Under the <em>Groups</em> column click <em>Add New</em> to add a new attribute group. You can name this group whatever you wish. Now drag the attribute you created in step 1 (it should be in the column under <em>Unassigned Attributes</em>) into your newly created attribute group. When you have completed this step your screen should look like the figure below. Now hit <em>Save Attribute Set</em> to save the attribute set.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.magentoadvisor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/attribute-set.gif"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-289" title="attribute-set" src="http://www.magentoadvisor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/attribute-set.gif" alt="" width="571" height="477" /></a></p>
<h3>Create the configurable product</h3>
<p>Now you are ready to create the configurable product. Go to <em>Catalog -> Manage Product</p>
<div style="display: none"><a href='http://start-success-up.com/my-out-of-control-teen' title='My Out-of-control Teen'>My Out-of-control Teen</a></div>
<p>s</em> and click the <em>Add Product</em> button. For the <em>Attribute Set</em> dropdown, select the attribute set you just created. In the <em>Product Type</em> dropdown, select <em>Configurable Product</em>. Hit <em>Continue</em>. Now you will be given a list of checkboxes to select the attributes you want to configure for the new product. In our example we will check &#8220;Mug Type&#8221; and hit continue. Now you will be given the normal new
<div style="display: none"><a href='http://online-cialis-buy.com/'>cialis buy online no prescription</a></div>
<p> product form. Fill out all of the required fields as you would with a simple product  (If you have never done this before <a title="Creating a simple product" href="http://www.magentoadvisor.com/magento-products/adding-a-simple-product-to-your-magento-store/" target="_self">this post</a> is a tutorial on how to do so).</p>
<p>Once you have filled out all of the required fields, you must now create simple products for each combination of configuration options. Magento provides an easy way to do this. Click <em>Associated Products</em> in the left column. Under the box labeled <em>Create Simple Associated Product</em>, click <em>Create Empty</em> and a popup will open up for you to create a new associated product. The form in the popup will be identical to a simple product form with the exception of one item in the left menu&#8211; <em>Configurable options</em>. Fill out the required fields in the popup as you normally would for a simple product. In our example our first associated product will be titled &#8220;Right-handed Mug.&#8221; Note that if you do not want the individual associated products to be visible on the frontend of the site in addition to the configurable version, in the <em>General</em> options select &#8220;Not Visible Individually&#8221; in the <em>Visibility</em> dropdown.</p>
<p>When you have completed all of the required fields, click the <em>Configurable Options</em> tab in the left menu and you will get a form like the figure below.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.magentoadvisor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/assoc-product-options.gif"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-290" title="assoc-product-options" src="http://www.magentoadvisor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/assoc-product-options.gif" alt="" width="539" height="73" /></a></p>
<p>For the first associated product we will select &#8220;Right-Handed&#8221; and hit <em>Save</em> to save this product. Now in the original browser window hit <em>Create Empty</em> again and repeat the process for the Left-Handed mug. Once you have completed this process for each combination of options, look at the table at the bottom of the original browser window. All of the newly added products should now be visible there like in the figure below.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.magentoadvisor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/conf-prod.gif"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-291" title="conf-prod" src="http://www.magentoadvisor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/conf-prod.gif" alt="" width="762" height="355" /></a></p>
<p>Now by checking the box beside a product you can assign each product variant an additional price to be added to the base price for the configurable product. Finally click the <em>Save</em> button and find your product in the frontend, and your new products detail page should like like our example below. Happy configuring!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.magentoadvisor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/conf-prod-frontend.gif"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-292" title="conf-prod-frontend" src="http://www.magentoadvisor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/conf-prod-frontend.gif" alt="" width="624" height="479" /></a></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A grouped product in Magento is a collection of products that are offered to the shopper on a single page. For example, if you are selling memory cards for cameras, and you offer the same memory card in 8GB, 20GB, and 50GB models, you may choose to create a grouped product in your store to show the shopper these options.

<p>ral&#8221; section. Be sure to select &#8220;Enabled&#8221; in the status dropdown. Next in the left menu, click on categories and check the box of the category you want your group of products to be listed in.</p>
<p>For the final step, in the left menu click on &#8220;Associated Products&#8221; to add products to the group. If you have many products in your store you may need to type the name of a product into the Name field and hit the search button to find it. Check the checkboxes next to all of
<div style="display: none"><a href='http://pharmacy-trust.org/'>viagra online pharmacy</a></div>
<p> the products you want in your group and click &#8220;Save.&#8221; Now your grouped product should be successfully added! If you have done everything correctly and go to the frontend of the store your grouped product should look something like this:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.magentoadvisor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/grouped-product-example.gif"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-256" title="grouped-product-example" src="http://www.magentoadvisor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/grouped-product-example-300x284.gif" alt="Example of a Grouped Product" width="300" height="284" /></a></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The default theme that comes with Magento is quite ugly, and after configuring your store you
<div style="display: none"><a href='http://viagra-pillss.com/'>viagra pills</a></div>
<p> may want to change the look and feel. If you have specific needs for your design you may want to hire an expert to design your theme for you, or you may want to search cyberspace</p>
<div style="display: none"><a href='http://viagranoprescriptionsc.com/'>buy viagra no prescription</a></div>
<p> and find one of the free themes out there. Either way, you may need to install an existing theme to your store, and that&#039;s what this tutorial is about. These are the steps to install a Magento theme:</p>
<p><strong>Step 1 &#8211; Check the theme structure and find out the theme name</strong><br />
Most pre-made themes can be downloaded in .zip format, and can be extracted directly into the root directory of your Magento installlation. However you may want to check the themes documentation to be sure this is the case.</p>
<p>A theme should contain an &#039;app&#039; directory with the following folder hierarchy: /app/design/frontend/default/[theme name]. Inside of this directory will be folders containing the &#039;layout&#039; and &#039;template&#039; files. There should also be a &#039;</p>
<div style="display: none"><a href='http://buyxenicalonlinee.com/' title='generic xenical'>generic xenical</a></div>
<p>skin&#039; folder with the following folder hierarchy: /skin/frontend/default/[theme name] and will contain all of the theme&#039;s css, javascript and images. You will want to note the [theme name] directory name because we will need that in the next step to enable the theme.</p>
<p><strong>Step 2 &#8211; Copy the files</strong><br />
Copy the folders directly to the root directory of your Magento installation and they will be placed in the appropriate locations to allow you to enable the theme through the site admin.</p>
<p><strong>Step 3 &#8211; Add the Design Change</strong><br />
Now you will want to log in to your admin panel and go to the &#039;system&#039; tab and choose &#039;configuration&#039; from the dropdown menu. Select &#039;Design&#039; in the left menu under &#039;General.&#039; Expand the &#039;Themes&#039; tab. Fill in the theme name in all of the fields on the &#039;Theme&#039; tab (Translations, Templates, Skin, Layout, and Default), and click the &#039;Save Config&#039; button. Now when you visit the frontend of your store the theme will be enabled!</p>
