I want to start using Shopify but I still need to know if it is possible to create custom post type, a bit like wordpress : a new button on the admin panel where there is product, orders, customers, etc, where I could put a whole new kind of posts, for blogging or image gallery.
Thanks,
Will
You can't customise the administration panel of Shopify, with adding new buttons, for example. The only way is creating a browser extension as Shopify FD. This extension add new buttons on the interface and other improvements.
You can add new "custom post type" as wordpress but it works different, looks at the "building themes" shopify section.
You are free to create blogs, and add articles to them, and you can create as many image galleries as you want. No limits to Shopify in that respect. Have fun!

I am currently speccing out a custom auction plugin for WordPress. One thing I would like to do for each item is to generate a dynamic Buy Now link that will redirect to a PayPal screen with the item name and final price.
From what I can see, the only way to generate one of these buttons is to go to the form that generates the buttons for you. Is there a js file that I can use to generate these buttons from a Wordpress admin area? If so, can someone please provide a link so that I can begin reading up on the documentation?
Thank you
There are several examples of how to create a "pay now" button on stackoverflow (with simple HTML form). I would rather not use the "insecure" forms.
For including it in Wordpress you need to create a PHP Script (Plugin) that creates you the button, either with a library or "by hand".
The second thing I would recommend is to give PayPal an URL they should call after a payment status change (IPN). Some libraries (as the one above) can help you with that.
I am new to zencart and want to create custom page for categories, can anyone help me for that to create custom categories page?
If you want to create a new page in Zen Cart, you have a couple of options:
Use EZ Pages - go to Admin->Tools->EZ Pages and add your page.
Start with a new page template such as the About Us page, which is available in the Plugins area for Zen Cart here: http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=86
I have an app with blog records per each user. I have add share button to my app, to give ability to post interesting blog records to users time line or to send to other user. But in default it takes image and text for share as it wants and not always correctly. So I find out that it can be dirven by meta tags (using for example "image" property to set image for share dialog). That's work ok on main page (where I'd like to make ability share with whole application), but on pages of blog records I cann`t customize it. meta tag should be in , but all info (short text and image of blog post) I get later in body, so I can insert it. How can I manage with this? Or may be there is another way to share content with?
What blog engine are you using? If it is a wordpress - try this plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/facebook-share-new/ from offician facebook docs http://developers.facebook.com/docs/. Otherwise I'd suggest to find a facebook plugin for your blog engine using google and install it.
I am not so familiar with Zen Cart, I want to add a relatively small contact form box that can be added to/taken from pages via the red and green buttons in the Tools -> EZ-Pages section of the admin panel.
Thanks
If it's simple HTML that you want to put in your custom page, then you can just create a new page an put your HTML into it.
If it's conditional PHP code that you want to run, that's not supported in EZ-Pages.
But, to Robert's point, how is your "custom page" different from the built-in Contact Us page?
I'm adding social media buttons to my website. Facebook like, Twitter tweet etc buttons were very easy.
However I also need an email the page (or rather a link to the page) button. I have trawled the internet but cannot find a simple and good implementation.
Ideally I'd like to be able to copy some reliable code, and have the button look in the same style as the ones on this page: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6920023/testbuttons.html
If anyone has done this before I would be very glad to hear from you :)
Thanks in advance.
Why not just use the AddThis service? You simply register, provide them with your website url and then select the social media / link mechanisms you would like to use on your site. At the end they provide you with a block of HTML code to drop into your site and low and behold, the buttons and appearance you selected will be present. You can also select mechanism such as pain old email when setting it up.
An example of it in place;
Here's the link: http://www.addthis.com/
As far as i know, you will have to use Mailto: apart from doing some deep Gmail, Yahoo and Hotmail API integration. That's about as good as your going to get.
You can dynamically fill out subject, body, cc fields etc using javascript/php (or whatever you are using)
