So I have an odd question. In different various spots around my store (about us page, customer emails, etc.) my online store is referred to as “Magento Demo Store”. Where do I change this?

is it possible to change a product’s attribute set after i have already assigned it to a particular attribute set? It seems as though I have to delete the item and re-create it with a new attribute set. thanks!

Is there a reference that explains what blocks are available in the core and how to call them?

My template does not have a tag cloud turned on, but I know this is part of the core. How do I find out how to turn it on?

And what about popular extensions? Is there a way to show what block functionality is included with an extension?

I’m using the AW Blog extension, and it seems there is little to no documentation for it. I’d like a block for ‘Latest Posts’. I emailed AW but only got the response, ‘All docs are included in the package’. However, I installed the extension using the Connect Manager. There are no doc files that I can find.

On this note, Magento sure seems to have a loooong way to go as a CMS app. It definitely excels at ecommerce, but as a content system, it is severely lacking. There really should be a graphical way to manage blocks that does not require editing files manually. Maybe this will come in a future version.

How do we know which blocks are available?

I would like to show the “Cross-Sells” not only on the checkout process, but on the product page itself.

What’s neat about the Cross-Sells block is that it includes the “Add To Cart” button. Combine that with the “do not redirect customer to shopping cart” option, and you have a way to inobtrusively add accessories/add-ons/extended warranty to the shopping process.

The question is, how do I migrate the Cross-Sells block to the Product Page?

I would like to display the optional accessories that can be “up-sold” with the items right on the product page – but also let the customer add them to cart without having to go to the accessory’s page.

Unfortunately, Magento doesn’t show the “Add To Cart” button for the items in the “Up-Sells” block, forcing the user to click away from the product page into the up-sell product page.

Is there any way to enable the “Add To Cart” button on the “Up-Sells”?

I’m experiencing a problem I cannot solve, no matter how hard i try First, I’m unable to issue a refund or create a credit memo, as the credit memo button is never visible. I have placed a test order, invoiced and shipped it, and still, no credit memo button. I absolutely cannot issue a refund.

When an order is first placed, status is set to “pending”. As soon as I invoice the order, status changes to “processing”. and then after shipping the order, status remains at “processing”. I can’t get it go to go “Completed”. Perhaps this is related to the credit memo problem I have.

The major online retailers (Target.com, OldNavy) charge tax on shipping for the percentage of the cart that is taxable, Magento taxes the entire shipping charge if a single taxable good is found in the cart. An example would work nice here….

In the cart.

1 x Knife @ $10 = $10
10 x Shirts @ $8 = $80

Subtotal = $90

Shipping $10

Before Tax $100

Tax Rate 10%

Tax $2 = This is what Magento would charge. $10 taxable goods ($1) + $10 total shipping ($1)

Tax $1.11 = This is what it should be. $10 taxable goods ($1) + $1.10 percentage of total shipping ($.11)

I know it’s small change, but there should be a way to take the percentage of the subtotal that is taxable goods and use that percentage to figure out how much of the shipping should be charged.

I just need some direction, please… I feel lost.

Basically I’m working on a module that gives a customer an option to add gift wrapping during the onepage checkout process. I’m up to the point where I need to change the checkout total to reflect the change in price (and of course I would like to do this the right way.)

Looking at the frontend, I want to change this (under Order Review):
Subtotal $54.00
Shipping & Handling (Flat Rate – Fixed) $20.00
Grand Total $74.00

To this:
Subtotal $54.00
Gift Wrap $5.00
Shipping & Handling (Flat Rate – Fixed) $20.00
Grand Total $79.00

I’m sifting through files at this point…

Checkout\Block\Onepage\Review\Info.php
lead me to look at
Sales\Model\Quote.php
And at this point my stomach starts turning just looking at the Sales module. What does the Sales module do? Am I on the right track? Will I need to make changes to modules other than the Checkout module to accomplish what I’m trying to do?

I set up a catalog price rule for testing as follows
Name: Complete Discount
Status: Active
Customer Groups: All selected
Conditions: None
Apply: By percentage
Amount: 50%
Stop further rules: No

I then clicked save and apply but the front end shows no price difference. I tried clearing the cache, nothing. I tried clicking apply again, nothing.

Is there something I am missing?

I’m trying to create a configurable product and I can’t get it to work. Here’s what i’ve done:

1. created new attributes
2. created new attribute set, added new attributes to this set
3. created a bunch of simple products, set their visibility to “nowhere”, and then ensured that they’re enabled.
4. begun the creation process for a new configurable product based on the new attribute set

I go thru the new configurable product creation steps, but when i get to the last tab, “Associated Products”, I can’t get ANY products to show up in the list when i click “search”. no filter option works, nothing is visible. It works fine when i try to create a simple product (all the other products show up in the “related” and “add-on” lists), but doesn’t work with a configurable.
