want to make sure your site will look the part, with Magento this is possible through
a highly evolved template system through which it is possible to brand a website

c) Flexible product page design to complement the variation in products.
• Layered Navigation: Usually with large inventories where a category has got
more than 50 products, it really is cumbersome to have all the products in the
scope of view, and Magento use several filtering tools to provide faster navigation
to products.
10. Benefits of MagentoBenefits of Magento
Product comparisons and product tagging features.
Convenience for your customers should be a paramount priority for any
ecommerce retailer. that’s why Magento includes multiple ship-to functionality right
out of the box, helping avoid the frustration that can occur when a customer is
shopping for multiple people at one time. Instead of forcing them to place multiple
transactions, they can quickly and easily ship to multiple addresses with one order.
This can be especially useful around the holidays, when more and more people
are doing their primary holiday shopping online.

Magento Architecture - BackgroundMagento Architecture - Background
17. 1. Flexibility: We believe each solution should be as unique as the business
behind it. Magento‘s code allows for seamless customizations.
2. Upgradeable: By separating the core code from community and local
customizations, Magento can be easily customized without losing the ability to
upgrade.
3. Speed and Security: The coding standards used by the developers follow best
practices to maximize the efficiency of the software and provide a secure
online storefront.
4. Portability: Magento was developed with portability in mind, that’s why there’s
extra logic built in. Path, Directory separators, they’re all designed to work
cross platform.
Using Zend framework, Magento was built
with below points in mind.
18. Magento uses an exceedingly modular architecture, answering a single request
will likely involve a multitude of files and modules.
The majority of code you’re looking for is rather nested, /app/code/core/Mage/
has a listing of all the modules included in the Magento core.
The CMS subdirectory is a good example of each module, it has seven
subdirectories: Block, Controller, controllers, etc, Helper, model, and sql.
The password is stored using salt, meaning that it isn’t simply the password
being hashed, a random string is being appended to the end.
Magento is based on the MVC design pattern.

20. What are Design Patterns?
Design Pattern - The design patterns are language-
independent strategies for solving common object-
oriented design problems
Why Design Patterns?
Enable us to design efficient, scalable and maintainable
systems.
Magento Architecture – Design PatternMagento Architecture – Design Pattern
21. Magento components can be categorized into Model, View and
Controller.
Model: Manages the data, business and application logic.
Components like business logic / business processes and data
are the part of Model=> Application Object.
View: Renders the Model into a representation suitable for the end user.=>User
Interface
Controller: The process that responds to user events.
Controller components which handle all the requests. (Decouple
data representation, application behavior, and
presentation)=>Defines the way the UI reacts to user inputs
Magento Architecture – MVC Design PatternMagento Architecture – MVC Design Pattern
22. The main purpose of using MVC pattern is to decouple the GUI from the Data. It also
gives the ability to provide multiple views for the same Data. MVC pattern separates
objects into three important sections:-
Model: - This section is specially for maintaining data. It is actually where your
business logic, querying database, database connection etc. is actually implemented.
Views: - Displaying all or some portion of data, or probably different view of data. View
is responsible for look and feel, Sorting, formatting etc.
Controller: - They are event handling section which affects either the model or the
view. Controller responds to the mouse or keyboard input to command model and
view to change. Controllers are associated with views. User interaction triggers the
events to change the model, which in turn calls some methods of model to update its
state to notify other registered views to refresh their display.
Magento Architecture – MVC Design PatternMagento Architecture – MVC Design Pattern
25. Database Structure – EAV ModelDatabase Structure – EAV Model
Entity-Attribute-Value model.
Magento’s databases are heavily normalized (Primary Key and Foreign Key
Relationship), a basic install will consist of 193 different tables.
Products - EAV
The EAV method for storing data is generally associated with storing clinical
findings, it is appropriate there because an arbitrary number of
attributes will be associated with each record.
This same flexibility is critical to Magento’s ability to handle an arbitrary number of
attributes with any product, or product type.
Example:
Product attributes you add will be added to eav_attribute.

78. How to import data in Magento for Projects?
Have to copy image files by creating the folder in
C:wampwwwmagentomediacatalog by name ‘product’ and name 'category'.
In catalog we will be having two folders one for product(folder name - 'product') and
one for category(folder name - 'category') and it will contain the images.
Also have to give RWX (read, write, execute permission to the folder media on
website hosting machine if it is LINUX, for WINDOWS it do automatically)
Products
Products are assigned both an Attribute Set, and a Product Type.
The Attribute Set defines which attributes a product has, examples might be:
manufacturer, colour, weight, mega pixels, diameter, etc.
The Product Type defines how the product works, clothing available in different
sizes would be an example of a product type (since it’s Configurable).
Attributes
Magento ships with a number of attributes like: price, weight, sku, description,
colour, manufacturer.
You will likely need to add more attributes to reflect the products you are selling
(Digital Cameras will require MP, Hard drives need size, interface and rpms, etc.)
Once you’ve create the appropriate attributes, attribute sets are created to describe
your products.
79. How to import data in Magento for Projects?
Attribute Sets
You will likely need a unique attribute set to describe each type or class of product
within your inventory.
Attribute sets are created by assigning attributes to the group.
Some attributes (e.g. Price) must always be associated with a new product.
For Product Data Import you have to create Attribute Set followed by attributes in it.
After that you have to create categories.
In categories, have to create products with attributes and define pricing.
How to do it?
Have to database / product data in excel to a CSV file format
Copy these CSV file to C:wampwwwmagentovarimport
Goto Admin panel of Magento and Select System -> Import / Export -> Profiles ->
Import All Products -> Run Profile -> Select file -> Run Profile in Popup
Don’t close the screen till completion
After success full import, check in frontend
Check in front-end whether the categories, product, image, pricing are displayed or
not, by executing URL http://localhost/magento/index.php/mohan.html,
where mohan is an SKU.
80. How to set the Home Page Layout for Category Listing?
For these goto Catalog -> Manage Categories -> Select
Default Category -> Custom Design -> Page Layout -> 2
Columns with Left Bar and click on Save Category.
