I am making an ecommerce website using magento.. I want to know if i can customize the back end as per my requirement.
Example : In the manage products page i want to create a custom page and give the admin users the option to easily add the products (Most of the values will be taken by default) and some will be chosen by user (I want to change the default UI and functionality for the admin users)
Is it possible ?
Yes, it is possible. You can develope a simple module or a simple php one-file-script and add products easily using Magento API. You can set default values to some attributes inline.
I found a blog post, I don't recommend to use that code because it looks messy, but it will give you a hint;

Also, there's a non-free module in magento connect named "Quick Product Add". It looks like what you need but I didn't test it and this is not a recommendation. You can find it here;

We need to change create order button link like: baseurl/sso/checkout/
Like on this screenshot
I have created the bundle extension and when we this bundle extension add-in our app then all create order link change to our custom URL.
How can we possibly need to change programmatically?
And How can we every cart order data get to our custom URL page?
How can we possibly need to change programmatically?
You can remove the original button that comes from workflow and insert the new one with the layout update, but it's highly not recommended.
Checkout in OroCommerce uses a workflow engine, that is highly customizable. We recommend customizing the workflow instead.
How can we every cart order data get to our custom URL page?
To customize the checkout process, it is preferred to use the custom workflow based on one of the built-in checkout workflows.
As an example of customization, there is an alternative checkout workflow available out of the box.
I need your help. Its my first time when I use woocomerce in WP and I don't know how to add custom button. On public product view I must add button with link to selected wikipedia page. On private admin product view I need custom url or text field in (wp-admin->product->add product).
Okey now I create custom field and taxonomiex but I don't know what next.
I tried to find some tutorials but I did not give advice.
I also had a similar situation like this. I purchased a plugin to fix it due to tight deadline. You can do it using below methods:
1) By using ready to use plugins
https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-custom-product-data-fields/screenshots/
(Free one)
https://codecanyon.net/item/woocommerce-custom-fields-product-addons/11332742
(Paid one)
2) You can also create a plugin by yourself
Basically a plugin will allow you to modify the site as you require without modifying the wordpress core. Learn about Hooks and Filters.
I would suggest you to go with 2nd option, learn to develop plugins so that it will be helpful for you in the long run. Read the documentation https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API. It will take some time but it is worth it.
I have been searching but have not found much information on this. Would it be possible to completely override Magento's frontend interface? What I mean with this is completely remove the shopping cart, menu's, product listings, everything, and replace with a completely customized interface, which will not be used for a eCommerce portal.
I just found out that our customer does not in fact want a eCommerce solution, although we have built a lot of functionality on Magento and it would be a shame to have to re-write EVERYTHING on another platform and still build a ordering framework as well.
So my question is this, can you build a theme on Magento that only shows parts of the system completely unrelated to the actual 'shop' and where would I find information to figure out how to do this? I'd like to keep the custom frontend in Magento to easily re-use the product view blocks, etc. but Magento itself is not a system our client wants.
I have thought of an alternative where the Magento shop is merely placed in a sub-directory and used as a sort of 'engine' to run the eCommerce side of the system and building a completely different system which integrates with Magento, the downside of this of course being that we would have to rewrite completed work as well.
What would be the best route to follow?
Here is one way to go about it:
Edit the homepage via the backend and enter the following code in to it:
{{block type="catalog/product" template="page/homepage.phtml"}} this will allow you to display products on the page.
Make sure that when you enter the code you can see html markup (and not just the output)
Make a completely customized webpage showing whatever you want
Here's my predicament. I'm working with a designer who has a very unique layout for his ecommerce site. It's kinda like a table/tier based system where you buy a certain amount of points. I need the ability to have user accounts etc and it will all be in joomla. There's many options such as magento, virtuamart etc. but basically what I'm saying is... will it be possible with any particular platform to transform the products so much so that can still use the platform? here's a screen shot...
http://www.one2designs.com/images/screen.png
Basically It needs to some way integrate into joomla, allow for user profiles etc, and I guess be so customizable that it can be transformed into that look.
Both Joomla and Virtuemart allow for 100% of customisation of the templates used. The process is simply:
Design
Cut and slice into HTML
Build Joomla template, product pages.
Further, the screenshot shows simply a list of 7 products, so either Table with 7 columns or a ul, li construct will work.
Is there anything else product wise you need to manage? It doesn't look like people will actually add more than 1 product to their "shopping cart", so a simple form manager like RSForm may achieve the same purpose. There are E-Commerce plugins for most newer form managers now and it should also not be too hard to link up third party payment gateways as a one off.
From the look of your image, that is simply a product with various options that are user selected. You would need to change the way the product options are displayed to fit the design, but other than the display, there is nothing unusual about a product with many options. Everything below the radio buttons is pretty much irrelevant as it is only option details. Virtuemart could be made to do this fairly easily.
I have a website which is up and running on drupal. Its product based website. I developed by creating my own tables and writing php code using php filters. I never used module concepts. Since the site is running well, so i am thinking to move to module concept. so wanted some help here, like how to do it.. i have gone through module development concepts also.
requirement.
1. Admin should be able to create new products like Mobile, Camera.
2. He should be able to define product properties and properties for which user will rate on.
3. Admin/ second admin should be able to create new sub products under products like mobile - nokia 8850 , nokia 9980 where he enters details of product properties also.
4. A listing page for all the sun products under main product. and from listing page we go to to main sub product page where user rates the product.
My confusion : should i create a new table or drupal takes care of all the requirements. and how do i start with it.
update : clear picture of requirement
ex :
1. 1st i add a product "MOBILES"
2. Then i add properties for this main product.
3. Then i start adding sub products under MOBILES i.e nokia 1100, samsumg 2200 and etc.
while adding sub products, in this page it gives me a text box for all the propeties i defined while creating the main product MOBILES . So is this possible using CCK.
You're right to consider using modules and following the "Drupal way". Use CCK + Views and Drupal will take care of the table maintenance and querying for you.
As already mentioned, you will need to get familiar with the CCK module. This module will allow you to create new "content types", which in your example would be the different product types and their attributes. Here is a good overview video on CCK. With CCK you can define new content types and Drupal will create the basic content creation forms for you and hide spare you from all the database details when you're working with it.
The Views module is essentially a query builder and will allow you to create views of your content. There are all sorts of related modules that can help you render your data as charts, grids, lists, slideshows, tables, etc.
There is a slight learning curve but once you get past it you'll be able to build new things pretty quick.
Update: Just another thought, if you are really needing to create some kind of classification system you should look at Taxonomies.
It sounds like you could do all of this with modules, without needing to do any php coding at all. Check out (if you haven't already) cck, views, and fivestar.
In response to your update, sounds like CCK and Node Hierarchy should do everything you need.
