I am making a site for a car company. Whenever I add an article there are two options: Blog and Category. I would like something like a category with a image preview and instead of the date created to show something like price, or brand.
Is there any simple way to do it? Or any extension already made?
Thanks in advance
Try something like this extension. http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/authoring-a-content/content-construction/8061. With k2 you can add custom fields for articles. After, you can adjust template for displaying additional fields.
If you want something specific for cars, then I would recommend RD Autos. They have a free version that does most everything you would need as well as a pro version that had additional features.

Having a little trouble here hoping someone can help. I've been reading around and can't seem to find what I'm looking for. What I have done so far is create a custom post type in Wordpress for a product which has two non-hierarchical taxonomies (colour and style).
I can display them fine but I want to be able to do is filter them via links in the sidebar. So you can just select products in certain colour AND certain style and it will display them. E.g if it was cars display all red cars in a saloon style.
Any ideas? Thanks.
The OTW Portfolio Light plugin can achieve what you're looking for. Kindly note that this plugin works only with the default custom post type that comes built-in with the plugin. (It is otw-portfolio, if I'm not wrong). You'll have to customize it suit your need.
I am not a beginner with Drupal, but I am a beginner with Drupal Commerce. I have used Ubercart since this project.
Actually, If I create a product display, and then a few variations under this product, Drupal Commerce automatically creates select box with titles of the other variations. This is quite useful for almost all the e-shops, but not for this one. I need to replace select box with titles with just images, on which customer will be able to click on, and select variation type just by image.
I think that there is almost all the functionality in drupal commerce kickstart which I am using right now. But I do not know how to achieve the result. I have already tried editing product view, but was not able to make it working. I have also searched through core modules of drupal commerce in code, because I think that there should be just an array function with result of titles, but did not found something like this yet. I have searched whole internet to search for solution but did not found anything useful.
In some threads peoples use to solve similar problems with for example colors, to give the ability for customers to see the color squares instead of color select box, this is achieved by module, which some of devs written. Maybe I can edit this module?
Also, I have never ever created a module, I am a bit lost in drupal codes, but tried it before.
Here are the attachments for better vision:

Any advice will be greatly appreciated; I just need to be pointed to the right direction,
You can achieve this feature, the same way than Commerce Kickstart v2 does: http://demo.commerceguys.com/ck/tops/drupal-commerce-hoodie - note the color selector at the right middle.
This is done using Commerce fancy attributes module which allows you to render color or image selectors that come from a taxonomy:
This module provides a "Rendered term" attribute mode, that shows the rendered term instead of a radio button (degrades to a normal radio button when JS is off) on the add to cart form.
You've got a video demo of this module with a step by step to configure in http://vimeo.com/44308580
Thank you for an advice, but I still had not been able to make it working with fancy attributes module. I used another way using taxonomy and a few views, which done almost the same.
But I still think, It is achievable by Fancy Attributes.
Thank you again
I have created a module for this case: https://www.drupal.org/project/commerce_options_as_images
I use it on my projects.
I am using Magento 1.7 for a webshop and I want to display some specific static blocks above the catalog. So when customers go to the menu and click on for example category A and after that clicking on manufacturer B, there should be a text-block above the catalog product listing with manufacturer specific information. Also when they click on manufacturer C, there should be other text then manufacturer B.
I think the easiest way to do this is making static blocks for all manufacturers, and making a PHP script. Is that possible? Or can I do this on another way?
Thank you in advance!
Kind regards,

here is the list of free extensions. just download them and you can change/upgrade edit it to your needs.

i hope you get the idea, i think it`s easy to understand when you have something to start.
If you want to do it by yourself, you can implement an observer, check which filters are applied in the layered navigation and add your block to the content block.
Your block then implements whatever logic you want to show the different informations for the manufacturer.
I would try controller_action_layout_generate_blocks_after, controller_action_layout_render_before or controller_action_layout_render_before_'.$this->getFullActionName() whatever the FullActionName for the layered category is :-)
About Observers you can find things at inchoos: http://inchoo.net/category/ecommerce/magento/events-observers/
To get the information wether a manufactuerer is choosen, I think there are two ways:
get the information from the get Mage::app()->getRequest()->getParam() should work
get the layout, then $layout->getBlock('catalog.leftnav') and pull the information somehow out of the block
afterwards you can add your block.
After reading this: Magento: Add content block at the end of the structual block "content"
I would suggest to introduce your own update handle (because I don't know, how to prepend blocks to the beginning of content). with your own handle, you can use before="-"
And as described here:
http://www.classyllama.com/magento/add-custom-layout-handles-e-g-parent-categories
you can add your handle via $layout->getUpdate()->addHandle('manufacturer_informations');
I would try something like this in the observer:
if($category = Mage::registry('current_category')) {
if($category->getName() == 'MyBrand') { // ot maybe $category->getId() == ...
//instantiate some $block
}
$layout->getBlock('content')->insert($block, 'brand-information');
}
I would like to create a menu item with dynamic links to the latest article published in a given category.
I don't want to use the default category blog link because I want the link to leed straight to the article page and avoid duplicate content.
hope this is comprehensible, thx for helping me with this issue.
There are 2 ways to accomplish this, one with code, one without.
The no code method involves replacing the standard Joomla com_content with a CCK extension that has a latest item functionality built in - I know K2 has it for sure, there are likely others.
The other method would require you to create a new model/view/menu item that only pulls the latest published article. This would actually not be terribly difficult since you could basically copy most of the category model and use most of the article view to come up with what you need. The changes are a little too involved to post here however.
I need to build a custom tv in modx that will all a user to select a image, a title and a date.
Can't seem to find any help other than the docs with although detailed don't answer my problem.
Anyone done this before and are able to advise me further
Cheers
I'm not 100% sure, if this is what you're trying to archieve, but I think multiItemsGridTv (MIGX) for modX revolution is what you want.
From the docs:
MIGX (multiItemsGridTv for modx) is a custom-tv-input-type for adding
multiple items into one TV-value and a snippet for listing this items
on your frontend.
It has a configurable grid and a configurable tabbed
editor-window to add and edit items. Each item can have multiple
fields.
For each field you can use another tv-input-type.
Essentially, you can make up a set of multiple different template variables (including images), that always belong together. If you then assign your MIGX tv to a template, you can enter as much of these sets as needed per resource.
You can download it via package management or from the modX Extras Repository.
