I am using Magento 1.9.2.1 and I am using the native swatches option. I am trying to only show the associated products on the catalog page and not the configurable product. But I am hoping that by clicking on any of the associated products, it would take the customer to the configurable product.
So lets say that I am selling a cap that has a red and brown option. I want the catalog to show the red simple product and the brown simple product. But when the customer clicks on either of the simple products, it will take them to the configurable product and they can select a color there instead.
Is there a easy way to do this?
I just found an extension that works
https://github.com/Mestrona/Mestrona_ForwardToConfigurable
I'm using JRD Redirect Simple to Parent for exactly this. I tried Mestrona as well, but it sets the URL to that of the simple product, which is a problem for bookmarking and the like when the user then changes up the configuration. JRD sets the URL to that of the parent and my plan is to then add a query string so that if the URL is bookmarked, I can route it to the same configured product.

I exported all the tags required by Facebook from my third-party online store (Lightspeed) and the data stream works as expected in terms of automatic updates, but products on my facebook page shop (Shop tab) are displayed with the brand name first — L'Oratoire Saint-Joseph — followed by the product title.
See it live : https://www.facebook.com/osaintjoseph/
The unfortunate result is that the text under many products is exactly the same. Is there a way to display the Product Title before the Brand Name?
Lightspeed support told me I had to take it up with Facebook. I am awaiting their reply. See my questions in the fb developer forum here : https://developers.facebook.com/settings/developer/community/
There are 3 ways to add products to Facebook Shop:
Manually
Data feed (e.g. CSV import)
Third party plugins (which you’re using).
Manually – the user is only able to enter 4 properties; title, description, image & variant. See facebook.com/business/help/293945421560847. There is no concept of product brand.
Data feed – this allows for additional properties, such as brand name. In the table, see example files and select product (csv, tsv or xml) facebook.com/business/help/120325381656392?id=725943027795860. However it looks like all Facebook does is concatenate string, that's the product title becomes "{brandName} – {productName}". It look like brand name is not used anywhere else. Nor is there an option to change the way it's displayed. If you edit the product, you should be able to see this in the Product Title.
Shop tab (third party plugin) – (May be it's me, but I found their documentation hard to follow) – They send an XML feed to Facebook support.shoptab.net/hc/en-us/articles/200583466-XML-Feed-for-Facebook-Storefront-with-ShopTab. They do not appear to have a concept of brand. Try and examine the data. I would expect the brand name to appear in the product title. Alternatively they allow for CSV, which also doesn't contain brand name support.shoptab.net/hc/en-us/articles/200583906-CCNow-Integration-with-ShopTab-s-Facebook-Store-App
Summary
If possible, examine the data that is sent from Shop tab to Facebook.
Try and find out if you’re able to exclude / alter the string concatenation of brand name from product title in Shop tab. If not raise a support ticket with them.
Alternatively see if you can manually edit the product title in Facebook. It’s not a long-term fix, but helps understand how the system are integrated.
I am using moodle 2.8
I wants to confirm user before edit course.
Basically I have a category name ex. 'Live' category
So when user move course into 'Live' category then want to show confirm box and if he click on yes then course will be update otherwise redirect to course edit page.
This will require changes to the Moodle core code (not usually a great idea, for ongoing maintenance) and would probably be a bit fiddly to implement - you would need to store all the submitted details somewhere in the confirmation form, then re-send them along with the confirmation.
It might be easier to make a small core code change to prevent the user from ever moving the course directly into the 'live' category (adjust the 'validation' function in the form submission), then have a separate admin page (within a local plugin, or maybe a block), that listed all the non-live courses and gave the option of moving them into the 'live' category (with the appropriate warnings / confirm action).
I want to have multiple Facebook Like Buttons on a single page, all pointing to the same URL. My understanding of the Like Button is that you are liking the URL of the page. But, say for example I have a page with several product attributes, maybe a t-shirt in different colors (Red, Blue, Green, etc.). Each of these colors does not have it's own URL.
Is it possible to like the same URL multiple times? Person likes Red Shirt, Person Likes Blue Shirt, etc.
I attempted to do this with hashtags, yet this did not work. Initial thoughts were to dynamically change the Open Graph Meta tags via Javascript, but A) that doesn't combat the issue of the same URL, and B) that would only work assuming the Facebook API pulls the information from the Meta tags immediately after the click, and not on initial page load or with a separate remote call.
Any ideas?
NOTE: I can not append a query string to the url (i.e. mysite.com/t-shirt?color=red )
You should really consider creating a single page for every product.
This will bring you additional benefits:
- images and product links in the news feed;
- much better seo for the single product;
- much better seo for your website.
Are you using a cms?
EDIT:
There are a few examples if you google it. But all of them require you to at least create a very basic html page. It's easy and fast.
You can try being more specific about your situation if you need better help.
The only way to do this is dynamic. It uses php. So the address for every button will be the redirecting to the php... something like this:
For the tShirt red:
http://www.yourDomain.com/tshirt.php?color=red
For the tShirt blue:
http://www.yourDomain.com/tshirt.php?color=blue
Put every address in the like button href-param
This work for me every time that i used for multiples Facebook's like buttons.
I am working on joomla and using joomla VirtueMart component.I created new fields in product detail page like color and size (drop down), Now I want to add that POST value (ex. $_POST["cmbColor"]) in shopping cart process and finally to be saved in database of VirtueMart.Please help me how to add these fields in cart.
Did you use the attribute system to add the optional color and size? Using either child products or attributes will get the options to show in the cart and saved on a sale. The VM documentation is pretty good on this topic, you can find how to use attributes here -

I have a feature that gets installed using a WSP package, when the feature is activated, I would like the following to happen:
The feature will contain a list definition.
When the feature gets activated by an end user (the user physically clicks the feature activation button in site features admin) - I would like a modal dialog to appear then ask the user to provide some additional details.
3.1 The additional details will be supplying a certain number of names. For example Mary, John, Peter. Form logistics I can handle.
Once the form is complete that information needs to somehow get back to the feature reciever, so that I can then take the base list definition, and use it as a template to create list instances for all the names supplied - so if user had supplied Mary and Peter, then 2 list instances will be created when this feature is activated.
Is any of this possible with MOSS 2007? Thank you
There's no way to "hijack" the feature activation process in sharepoint. The (crude) solution would be to create a feature that deploys an application page (aka layouts page) and the list template/definition. On the page there should be a bunch of textboxes and a submit button.
The feature should have a receiver attached to it that after activation redirects the user to your page using HttpContext.Current. After entering all relevant data in the page ( Mary, John, Peter, etc.) just create the lists based on the list template deployed earlier from code using something like:
SPListTemplate listTemplate = web.ListTemplates["YOURLISTTEMPLATENAME"];
web.Lists.Add(listName, description, listTemplate);
There is 1 caveat though, IMHO a dealbreaker even. this won't work when the feature is activated using stsadm, seeing as there is no HttpContext!!!
