I’m new to Magento and I’ve been looking for some useful tutorials or webinars on the web. I’ve founds some fairly useful ones but the only problem is that none of them seem to adress the newest 1.4. version of Magento.

When the different tutorials (like the great ecommercedeveloper.com magento theme tutorial) discuss moving header elements (like searchbar and toplinks) I get confused. The older header.phtml and the 2-column files differ dramatically from the newest 1.4. files. I cant figure out what changed, where to locate the different elements and I do not know which files to edit. Now my question is: How do I move around the different elements in the header when using Magento 1.4. so it will look like this ?

My store is selling free themes and free Magento extensions but whenever someone purchases the product they should be able to download the theme or extension automatically without me going into the admin panel and generate the invoice. I don’t want to generate the invoice simply because i am selling products for free ($0.00). all i want is to set the store to handle the payment which is Nil and generate the theme download link for the members.

I want to have a table or something displayed on my main configurable product page that shows all the available colors a product comes in. I need them to identify themselves in some way as well. A simple alternate text tag with a mouse hover over works, but I’m not sure how to do this with magneto. I tried to add a table in the description box using the WYSIWYG editor, but it really screws up the page formatting. I see in the “Customer Showcase” that a custom Tee shirt shop (we are one too) is using this feature or something similar. Could anyone perhaps help me to get this enabled on our site? Thank you in advance.

Have a bug here, cost me a day of work.

I am running 1.3.2.4 of Magento, and have a lot of custom modules extensions built in. I had decided to test them on 1.4 later, and roll them out with 1.324.

Getting towards the end of my development, I wanted to add a new theme. I wanted to add the Modern (plain) Theme from the Magento Core group. When I went to Magento Connect, I figured I’d use this key-based updater, It had worked fine months ago when I had added items.

This theme key, installed all of Magento 1.4 without an “Are you sure?”. It also included several bugs that wouldn’t let me into Magento. One bug wouldn’t let me in to the admin, after fixing that by deleting a Cache directory, half of the admin menus are gone.

I give up.

I have to build a new Magento 1.324 and install all of my additions.

If someone could pass this along to the Magento folks configuring MagentoConnect, that’d be great. Seems like a nice tool.

A theme should stop you if its the wrong version, not overwrite your environment.

Very happy with Magento, I understand the thoughts, but it cost me a day of my life.

I am currently testing the checkout process thru my magento store and paypal sandbox with dummy orders.

After a guest or logged in customer makes a purchase from the store, it seems magento does not send an email (order confirmation) to the purchaser… only when i log into the admin and “invoice” or “ship” the order does magento sent an email advising the customer of the same… i know once the store is live, paypal will confirm the purchase with an email from their side…

Also i know there is a function on the order page to “notify” the customer of the order status eg: Paypal Pending but again seems to be a manual “switch” to send an email…

Is the any option in the admin to have the store send an “auto-email” the the customer after checkout is complete…
