To add multiple store: create one root category name it as "magento2" and add subcategory into it. now go to system  manage stores create a new website example "magento" and add store name and store view name to the website create a sub-directory folder magento2. Copy the index.php file as well as the htaccess file from the magento folder over to the magento2 folder Open your index.php file and look for the following line "$mageFilename = ‘app/Mage.php’;" Change it to $mageFilename = ‘../app/Mage.php’; and in the last you will get this line,comment it //Mage::run($mageRunCode, $mageRunType); Mage::run("magento2", $mageRunType); //magento 2 is the name of the store make sure the name of $mageRunCode (here we using magento2) will be same as  the Code in store view (Code * :  "magento2" )

This is what I did to remove the “Category” section from my layered navigation so I wouldnt have any repeat information with the attributes I wanted in the layered navigation. go to app/design/frontend/default/default/template/catalog/layer and open up view.phtml for edit. This is the code I have within the “dl” tags: <dl id="narrow-by-list"> <?php $_filters = $this->getFilters() ?> <?php foreach ($_filters as $_filter): ?>  <?php if($_filter->getItemsCount()): ?> <?php if($_filter->getName() != "Category"){ ?> <dt><?php echo $this->__($_filter->getName()) ?></dt> <dd> <?php echo $_filter->getHtml() ?> </dd> <?php } endif; ?> <?php endforeach; ?> </dl>

echo $this->getRequest()->getControllerName();

In app/design/adminhtml/default/default/template/catalog/product/tab/inventory.phtml I have changed this: <?php foreach ($this->getStockOption() as $option): ?>         <?php $_selected = ($option['value'] == $this->getFieldValue('is_in_stock')) ? 'selected="selected"' : '' ?>         <option value="<?php echo $option['value'] ?>" <?php echo $_selected ?>><?php echo $option['label'] ?></option> <?php endforeach; ?> To this: <?php if( ($this->getFieldValue('qty')*1) > 0): ?>         <option selected="selected" value="1">In Stock</option> <?php else: ?>     <option selected="selected" value="0">Out of Stock</option> <?php endif; ?>

Magento has a built-in contact form that does the job, but isn't easy to edit. You may for example want to add your company address, contact details or even a Google Map. This can quite easily be done by creating a CMS page and including the contact form portion of the standard Magento contact form as a static block.     To achieve this, do the following:     1. Create your CMS page (Admin > Manage Pages)     2. Paste the following HTML where you would like the contact form to be  positioned in your CMS page:     {{block type="core/template" name="contactForm"     form_action="/contacts/index/post" template="contacts/form.phtml"}}
