I would appreciate any input here.
I have some php code that I've developed to import a csv file into a custom table in the Magento db and then compare this data with data in the sales_flat_order table and display a simple report.
I now need to add a link to this page in the Magento backend so the guys using the backend can find and use it easily.
I have a bit of experience with adding new Magento modules, but I was wondering if there is any easier way to just add the Magento backend look and feel to my php pages and add a new menu item linking to them?
It seems like a big bloated exercise to have to have to go through the process of adding a Magento module and to have to re-code everything now that its already done.
Any help would be very much appreciated!
Just pop your link in the header links - header.phtml in admin template folders. Job done, not elegant but why spend any longer on it?

I wonder if any of you could help?!
I've recently started a new project which requires an e-commerce system, with that being said I have installed magento and have started to play around with it.... however I am struggling to find any sort of information on using the mage.php file.
What I need really is help on the list below...
I've been looking for the code to display a product from magento on a page that is not situated within magento's platform. Can anyway point me to the code needed for this please
I'd like to incorporate the checkout/login or logout/my account links on every page even when not viewing a page located in magentos system.
I suppose basically I want to use magento to handle the product side of things but want to create my website without having to touch magento except from to call in certain functions.
Any help on this would be appreciated!
You can build the website using an easier content management system such as Wordpress and only use Magento for the Shop section of the website.
There is a plugin for Wordpress that allows you to display products from a Magent website.

There are many tutorials to adding extra tabs to the product page but I am struggling to find information on how I can create tabs on a new form from scratch. I have looked at the following resources but the information presented doesn't seem to be very clear or my magento isn't good enough to understand it yet:

how to create multiple tab in magento custom module?
I am trying to emulate the tab system that runs vertically down the left side of the product section but on a custom form.
Are there any references out there on how this should be done (similar to the official magento one explaining how to create an admin module)?
p.s I haven't posted code as anything I have is directly from the tutorials.
I ended up working through the excellencemagentoblog version and have successfully got tabs working. The examples given aren't exactly straight forward unless you understand the magento structure really well but the information within the article is adequate enough to work through.
I know this is a pretty broad questions but for learning purposes I'm trying to create a site similar to https://knockaround.com/shop/sunglasses/custom/custom-premium. I'm having trouble finding tutorials on how to accomplish this. I'm sure I can create the dropdowns to switch the images for the product, but where would I start when trying to pass the merged image to the cart? Also, I'm pretty sure the website uses Magento and Prototype JS. If someone could get me started in the right direction that would be great.
Thanks
Like this framework (http://fancyproductdesigner.com/), it must be merging the images on the server and created a single image saved with the cart entry.
You wouldn't pass the "merged image" to the cart, but rather the configuration. If you look at the hash on the page, it changes depending on the settings: #custom/3/6/13/259
So what you're passing the cart is "3/6/13/259"
Heyhey,
I made a pretty kickass Magento 1.6 module to select a store and time to come pick stuff up at the shop, and it works fine in the front end. It doesn´t however appear in the backend, and the backend order creation system needs to have the same functionality.
How do I enable my module for backend order creation?
I'll supply any details needed!
Kind regards,
Alex
in the file:
/app/design/adminhtml/default/default/layout/sales.xml
around line 497 (on my version, which is Enterprise 1.10.0.1)
you should find
<adminhmtl_sales_order_create_index>
I strongly believe that has the information on what you want. Your module will need it's own layout xml file that references these areas to insert its own content. Then, you will need to hook into the order create event with an observer to run your own code to deal with the data. This may already be happening, as I'm not sure if the backend code creating the order is any different from the front end.
Hope this helps as a jumping off point.
I was wondering if anyone knows of a good script to manage a catalog of products. Just need basic stuff, like being able to browse by category and or tags and search. Without many extras, as I'd like to have it working inside a CMS.
softpedia has a few scripts, but I'm also considering creating it from scratch. Ideal would be something in between that allows a bit of customization and control of layout, but takes care of the backend. So adding editing and managing items should be simple.
any ideas?

has anyone worked with http://www.oscommerce.com and can shed some light?
CubeCart is quite simplistic and easy to use, there's also osCommerce and Magento if your looking for a more advanced ecommerce system.
ZenCart is a popular solution, and free. Of course any (good) product listing app is going to be a shopping cart.
virtuemart may work out for you as well.. you can add it on top of joomla .. that way you would have a CMS to create and change the custom pages as well.. the other solutions are good too but they are more cart oriented.
