drupal menu item which is not a link - php

I am trying to use special menu items to make certain menu item(s) not a link. There are some issues with this module, and I am unable to do so. Currently, I am testing it with the garland theme. Although this seems like a basic feature, I am finding it difficult to accomplish this task. Do you have any suggestions. Thank you.

Drupal Commerce - Load drupal variations images instead of a select box

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.

edit magento navigation without coding

I just recently started working with a Magento site, and so far I'm really not liking it. I need to remove a couple links from the main navigation, but I can't seem to find the option for it. I've googled it numerous times, and all I see are examples for coding the navigation. My question is, can you edit the site navigation like you can with say wordpress? Seeing how it's a cms I'd imagine the user should be able to make changes to the navigation using some type of interface, and without having to pull the files from the server and edit them.
Also just out of curiosity, for anyone experienced with Magento would you say it's a good choice for a cms? I've heard of it before, but haven't seen many sites that use it.
No!, so you have three options here.
Learn how to extend the navigation with the 100's of tutorials out there, it is really not that hard, assuming you have a theme you just have to edit app/design/frontend/[theme]/default/template/page/html/topmenu.phtml
Get an extension to do it for you.
Hire a developer to do it for you, we create a static block with installer for the html which make it slightly more user friendly to update in the future.
Stackoverflow is a bad place to ask questions like this, it is aimed at programmers and doing such a procedure is rudimentary stuff, I really hope you are a client trying to be cheap rather than someone who claims they can run this site.
Edit: The cms features are ok but you need to be able to code to set them all up so the end user can make the changes with WYSIWYG.
If you don't want to code for navigation then you can do below things
1) Create category and then Display Settings=>Display Mode=>static block only and Display Settings=>CMS Block=>static block name. In static block u can include in page url or custom page
2)You need to hire developer
If you're using Magento and have an integrated WordPress blog, it's possible to design a completely custom menu in the WordPress Admin using the menu builder. You have complete control over what menu items you want and the hierarchy of each item.
To get this to work, you need to integrate your WordPress blog using WordPress Integration in full integration mode. Your Magento template also has to be using the default Topmenu block.

best approaches in designing for wordpress a theme, need some advice

I'll be building a Wordpress theme and would be needing some advice in implementing it. here's the outline of my design. I will using 960.gs for the css layout.
Now my worries is what approach will i be using to the services(1,2,3...)? Will I use widget fort hat? Those boxes should be easy to maintain and update. (I've been a Joomla user so, So if I had code it in joomla I had used module for that approach. Is there a similar approach to Wordpress? that you can easily turn on/off the boxes? )
How can I change the look for each page? Some services will not be render in some pages (example, service 1-4 will not be avialabe for 'about page')
Thanks! :)
Download Free ‘Starkers’ Wordpress theme at Here
and following the instructions from Chris Coyer of CSS Tricks at Here
This really did help me. The screen cast from Chris is a three part series and you would love it.
Update One:
After you do this. I would advice you to get free themes online and see how things are done in different templates. I will help you improve a great deal.
Update Two:
To prevent some widgets from showing on different pages, you would to remove the function that creates that widget from that particular template. Every widget is like a plugin and a function is used to render it on screen.
Hope this helps.

Drupal - Breadcrumb and 'In this section'

I have looked all over the Drupal site to find out how to view the breadcrumbs that the menu breadcrumb module installs, but no one else seems to be having the same problem as me, has any one come across the menu breadcrumb module in Drupal and knows how to use it? Also is there a solution in Drupal again couldn't find an answer, in that you get a list of all the pages in a section of the site and list them on the page, in See Also kind of style?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks Sico
Those are two different questions. I am not familiar with the Menu Breadcrumbs module, but when in doubt, clear the cache.
If you want to list a lot of pages in the site, check out Views (Glossary comes prepackaged), Site Map, or a number of other modules. For recommendations of related content, check out this comparison chart, the Recommender API, and more. It will be worth your while to check out Drupalmodules.org to investigate what modules are available. I have only touched on a few off the top of my mind.
From a quick read through the module, it seems like the module uses the drupal_set_breadcrumb() function, to alter the breadcrumb. That means that the reason you are not seeing the breadcrumbs shouldn't have anything to do with the module. If you deactivate it you should still have the problem. Many themes have the option to disable breadcrumbs altogether and some doesn't even implement them. My guess would be that your problem is located in your theme.

php product browser

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?
--- edit ---
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.
