Sorry if this has previously been answered but after an extensive search I can’t find it.

I currently use the following settings:

In Admin – Prices are input excluding VAT (to make it easier to change if the Govt choose to change VAT again) – with the box checked to advise that the goods are taxable.

On the Web – Prices are shown including VAT

I want to export my products to Google Base including VAT – at the moment it is sending the price excluding VAT and as such is giving the customer a false impression of the price…

I read somewhere that someone had to ‘hack’ the core files – but I’m not sure how to do this or even if this is required.

You can add Categories so that they are not under the Default Category. They will be at the same level as Default. However, only Categories under Default will automatically appear in the Navigation Menu. If a Category is not under Default, you will need to create some other way for your customers to get to that Category.

Do you know how to get to that Category?

Is there a way to let every store use the same increment number for orders/invoices/packing slips etc. Magento now creates per store a new increment but I just want to have a global increment which will be used for every store inside my magento installation.

I couldn’t find anything about this on the web so far.

I have run magento now for 1 year, I have had a very bad problem with it which I do not seem to fix. I sell watches and lets say I have a bulova brand watch which its sub category is bangle, now I make the product, make the bulova category anchor and make a sub category named bangle, when I add a product I add it on the bangle sub category or even both bulova and bangle. The thing is if that the product is displayed in my front page or even from the search in the upper left corner where it should say
If I go to bulova category and display all products and then I click on the product it will only display the following:

Start > Bulova > Item

Still there is the subcategory missing the only way I have seen it can display the whole path is by going on the menu or selectin the layered filter Bangle then it will display correctly:

I want to know how to use external hosted product images. I have about 2000 items to import. The perfect solutions would allow me to import the category, product, and use external images. Im thinking that it might be possible to add a field to the import process that stores the image url in the database. Then I would go change all the codes that referenced the old image-file structure. I would try to make it similar to the way that the product name or category is stored and referenced.

I cant do this myself but it sounds like it would work. I hope someone smarts finds this post.

i want to create multiple website (domain1.com , domain2.com etc) to use the same magento installation and same product and category structure?

all the other should be different and the two stores should not be sharing sales or customers

i also want for different admin to manage these stores. but that the admin would have limited access to customers, sales, CMS and manage the categories names etc.

is it possible to set the order status for paypal payment from “processing” to “pending”? It would help us if every order could starts with the status “pending”, wheter the customer has already paid via paypal.

And we have a problem with the cancelling of already completed orders, for example if the customer returns the product. In this case we are not able to switch the status from “complete” to “cancelled”. After cancelling the status is still “complete”…

Is there a solution for this?

We are using Magento Version 1.3.2.3

Best Regards,

The site uses onepage for checkout. I want to be able to retrieve a few aspects of an order by the time I reach success – particularly, the total cost of the order just completed and the method used for payment.

I know I can get to the Order number
with $this->getOrderId()
but I am not strong on the whole magento model. I would like to be able to do something similar: $this->getOrderTotal()

Please advise how to go about the steps that would allow this.

Also, I have read much but do not have not managed a strong understanding of the whole model. Any pointers to good beginner-developer tutorials in magento would be appreciated.
