How To Setup Multiple Magento Stores

Adding Another Store In Magento

The first thing we need to do is setup our second store in Magento.
We're going to do a hypothetical here for the naming conventions, and assume we own shirts.com. Adjust the values accordingly for your own store.

Login to the Magento admin.
Go to the Catalog tab, and select Manage Categories.
Click on the Add Root Category button on the left.
On the right, for the Name, we'll enter Shoes.com. Set the dropdown to Yes for both Is Active and Is Anchor.
Click the Save Category button.
Go to the System tab and select Manage Stores.
Click on the Create Website button.
For the Name, we'll enter Shoes.com, and for the Code, we'll enter shoes. We'll use this value later, so don't forget this!
Click the Save Website button.
Click on the Create Store button.
For the Website, select Shoes.com from the dropdown. For the Name, we'll enter Main Store. For the Root Category, select the Shoes.com from the dropdown.
Click on the Save Store button.
Click on the Create Store View button.
For the Store, select Main Store from the dropdown, making sure it's for the Shoes.com website. For the Name, we'll enter English. For the Code, we'll enter shoes_en. For the Status, select Enabled from the dropdown.
Click the Save Store View button.
Go to the System tab and select Configuration.
For the Current Configuration Scope (located on the top left), change the dropdown menu from Default Config to Shoes.com.
Select Web from the sidebar on the left under the General heading.
For both the Unsecure and Secure sections, uncheck the Use default box next to the Base URL item, and enter the URL for your store, e.g. http://www.shoes.com/. Don't forget the trailing slash!
Click the Save Config button.

Now that we have our second store setup, you'll need to choose one of the following methods for actually setting up the store on the server-side so visitors can access it.
If the URL structure you've chosen will have different domains for each store, the parked domain method is the fastest and easiest method.

Parked Domain Method

For this method, we'll pretend we own shirts.com and shoes.com. The shirts.com domain is our primary domain, and Magento is already installed on it. Here's how we would set this up for the shoes.com domain:

Login to cPanel for your domain and click on the Parked Domains icon.
In the input field, enter the domain name that you'll be setting up as a second store, e.g. shoes.com.
Click on the Add Domain button.

Open up the index.php file for Magento and look for this line (it's the last line of the file):

Mage::run($mageRunCode, $mageRunType);

…and right before this, we're going to add the following code:

switch($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']) {
 case 'shoes.com':
 case 'www.shoes.com':
  $mageRunCode = 'shoes';
  $mageRunType = 'website';
 break;
}

If you have more than two stores, you will need to add additional cases to the above code block, e.g.:

switch($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']) {
 case 'shoes.com':
 case 'www.shoes.com':
  $mageRunCode = 'shoes';
  $mageRunType = 'website';
 break;
 case 'hats.com':
 case 'www.hats.com':
  $mageRunCode = 'hats';
  $mageRunType = 'website';
 break;
}

Addon Domain Method

This is the same scenario as above, except it takes a little longer to setup. This method might be more useful to you if, for example, you wanted to have a blog on one domain, but not on the other. You couldn't do that with a parked domain. Here's how we would set this up for the shoes.com domain:

Login to cPanel for your domain, and click on the Addon Domains icon.
For the New Domain Name, we'll enter shoes.com. cPanel will automatically fill in the next two fields, so remove public_html/ from the Document Root field, leaving us with just shoes.com. This step isn't required, but for organizational purposes, it makes more sense.
Set a password for this domain and click on the Add Domain button.
Login to your site via SSH, and go to the directory that we previously set in the Document Root field above when adding our domain. In our case, we would do the following:
```
cd shoes.com/
```
Copy the index.php and .htaccess file from the directory where Magento is installed, which would be in our root web directory:
```
cp ../public_html/index.php ../public_html/.htaccess .
```
Open up the index.php file that we just copied over and replace the following line of code:
```
$mageFilename = 'app/Mage.php';
```
…with the following:
```
$mageFilename = '../public_html/app/Mage.php';
```
With the index.php file still open, look for this line (it's the last line of the file):
```
Mage::run($mageRunCode, $mageRunType);
```
…and right before this, we're going to add the following code:
```
$mageRunCode = 'shoes';
$mageRunType = 'website';
```

Lastly, we need to create symbolic links to point to a few directories:

ln -s ../public_html/app ./app
ln -s ../public_html/errors ./errors
ln -s ../public_html/includes ./includes
ln -s ../public_html/js ./js
ln -s ../public_html/lib ./lib
ln -s ../public_html/media ./media
ln -s ../public_html/skin ./skin
ln -s ../public_html/var ./var

Subdomain Method

For this method, we'll pretend we own mall.com, and it's setup as a portal that links to the various shops within the mall. Magento will be installed on the mall.com domain, and all of the shops will be in subdomains, e.g.:

shoes.mall.com
shirts.mall.com

Here's how we would set this up for the shoes subdomain:

Login to cPanel for your domain, and click on the Subdomains icon.
For the Subdomain, we'll enter shoes. cPanel will automatically fill in the next field, so remove public_html/ from the Document Root field, leaving us with just shoes. This step isn't required, but for organizational purposes, it makes more sense.
Click the Create button.
Login to your site via SSH, and go to the directory that we previously set in the Document Root field above when creating our subdomain. In our case, we would do the following:
```
cd shoes/
```
Copy the index.php and .htaccess file from the directory where Magento is installed, which would be in our root web directory:
```
cp ../public_html/index.php ../public_html/.htaccess .
```
Open up the index.php file that we just copied over and replace the following line of code:
```
$mageFilename = 'app/Mage.php';
```
…with the following:
```
$mageFilename = '../public_html/app/Mage.php';
```
With the index.php file still open, look for this line (it's the last line of the file):
```
Mage::run($mageRunCode, $mageRunType);
```
…and right before this, we're going to add the following code:
```
$mageRunCode = 'shoes';
$mageRunType = 'website';
```

Lastly, we need to create symbolic links to point to a few directories:

ln -s ../public_html/app ./app
ln -s ../public_html/errors ./errors
ln -s ../public_html/includes ./includes
ln -s ../public_html/js ./js
ln -s ../public_html/lib ./lib
ln -s ../public_html/media ./media
ln -s ../public_html/skin ./skin
ln -s ../public_html/var ./var

Subdirectory Method

This is the same scenario as above, except all of the shops will be in subdirectories, e.g.:

mall.com/shoes
mall.com/shirts

Here's how we would set this up for the shoes subdirectory:

Login to your site via SSH, and create a subdirectory where your second store will be:
```
cd public_html
mkdir shoes/
cd shoes/
```
Copy the index.php and .htaccess file from the directory where Magento is installed, which would be in our root web directory:
```
cp ../public_html/index.php ../public_html/.htaccess .
```
Open up the index.php file that we just copied over and replace the following line of code:
```
$mageFilename = 'app/Mage.php';
```
…with the following:
```
$mageFilename = '../public_html/app/Mage.php';
```
With the index.php file still open, look for this line (it's the last line of the file):
```
Mage::run($mageRunCode, $mageRunType);
```
…and right before this, we're going to add the following code:
```
$mageRunCode = 'shoes';
$mageRunType = 'website';
```

Managing Multiple Stores

It's very important to remember that now that you have multiple stores to manage from one admin panel, that you make sure you're changing the configuration for the appropriate store.
In the System → Configuration section, if you leave the dropdown menu for Current Configuration Scope set to Default Config, it will globally change the values for all of your stores, assuming you haven't removed the checkmark next to Use default throughout the configuration sections.
You can change the configuration values globally, for each website, and for individual store views.

Secure Checkout For Each Store

For those of you in dedicated hosting environments, you can follow either the addon or parked domain method from above, and edit the httpd.conf file to give the addon or parked domain a dedicated IP address.
However, this is not advised. Your changes will most likely be overwritten with a control panel upgrade, Apache or PHP rebuild, or even simple maintenance.
Your best bet would be to setup each store as a separate account, which can be done in WHM if you have access to it, or in the case of our Split-Dedicated product, something we will be able to set up for you.
Once you have all of your domains setup as individual accounts, you would follow steps 5, 7 and 8 for the addon domain method, except you're going to use absolute paths instead of relative paths for the symbolic links, e.g.:

ln -s /home/username/public_html/app ./app
ln -s /home/username/public_html/errors ./errors
ln -s /home/username/public_html/includes ./includes
ln -s /home/username/public_html/js ./js
ln -s /home/username/public_html/lib ./lib
ln -s /home/username/public_html/media ./media
ln -s /home/username/public_html/skin ./skin
ln -s /home/username/public_html/var ./var

Lastly, in order for the above to work, you will need suEXEC disabled. This won't be a problem in a dedicated hosting environment, since you don't have to worry about other people being able to access your files.
This is just one of the many advantages of running your online business in a more secure and flexible hosting environment like this. If you're on our Split-Dedicated product, this is something we'll have to disable for you.

How To Creating a Configurable Product in Magento

Creating a Configurable Product

There are a few steps involved:

Create the attributes that will be configurable by the user - for our example they will be Size and Color
Create the attribute set that will be assigned to the variant products - for our example, we’ll call it “T-shirt”
Create the individual variant products
Create the configurable product, and add the “T-shirt” attribute set
Add the individual variants to this configurable product

Creating Attributes

Below are screenshots of how the configurable attribute “Size” is set up.

Attribute Properties

Notice the “Catalog Input Type” is set to dropdown - this is required for the attribute to be compatible with configurable products. The Scope is also set to Global. When both of these settings are configured in this manner, the Use To Create Configurable Product dropdown will appear. This must be set to Yes. Required is also set to “Yes”. In order for a Simple Product to be associated to a Configurable Product, it must have a value for all configurable attributes, so making it required ensures that you will remember to add a value for this attribute for all Simple Products.

Labels/Options

Note how the size options and their sort order have been entered above.
The attribute “Color” will be set up exactly the same, with only the Labels/Options page changed. It will look as follows with these 4 colors:

Creating the attribute set

Now we’re ready to create an attribute set called “T-shirt” to start using for this product. Go to “Catalog -> Attributes -> Manage Attribute Sets” and press “Add New Set”.
In our example, the name is “T-shirt” and we’re basing it on the default set:

Continue to the next page. Drag the two attributes into a new group which I called “Selectable Options”:

If any of that’s confusing, be sure to read the section called ”How do I create an attribute set?”.

Creating the simple products

Now that we created the attribute set, we’re ready to start entering the data for the simple products that will be part of the configurable product.

Navigate to “Catalog -> Manage Products”. Press “New Product”
Create a Simple Product based on the “T-shirt” attribute set

Fill in all the required information, and make sure to fill in options for the “Selectable Options” tab, as shown below:

After you’re done, press “Save Product”

Now, repeat these steps for every combination of options your super product will contain. Since this example had 3 sizes and 4 colors, you would create the 12 options individually. You can create duplicates of the first product you create to vastly speed up this process.
You should have a product list similar to this one when you’re done (of course, titles and SKUs can be whatever you choose, this example just uses the attributes in the title and sku):

After you’re done, you’re ready for the next and final step!

Creating the Configurable Product

After making all the variants, navigate to “Catalog -> Manage Products”
Press “New Product
Select ‘Configurable’ based on the T-shirt attribute set

The next screen lets you pick which attributes you want to associate. It picks attributes from the set that are Input Type: Dropdown, Scope: Global, and Use To Create Configurable Product: Yes

Select both “Size” and “Color” and press “Continue”
The next page is the regular create product page, with the addition of the “Associated Products” tab at the bottom. The general tab used for the sample product looks like this:

Finally, let’s take a look at the “Associated Products” tab: If you push “Reset Filter”, you’ll see all products associated to the T-shirt Attribute Set that have options for the Size and Color attributes. If you check one (or all) you’ll see the “Associated Products Attributes Configuration” above the list. This is where you decide the sort order of the selectable attributes (click and drag an attribute to change) and also any price adjustments that selecting a specific attribute will have on the configurable product. For example: If you wanted the Magento shirt to be $5.00 more, you just have to enter “5” in the text field. Price adjustments can be either percentage based or a fixed amount. For our example, the Large size is 10% more, and the Magento shirt is $5.00 more.

How to get Dropdown Attribute value

In Magento it is possible to access a product’s attributes with a simple getter method. Let’s get the attribute test:

<?php echo $_helper->productAttribute($_product, $_product->getName(), 'name') ?>

This works as long as test is an attribute of type ‘text’. If the attribute is a dropdown, the method will just return the id of the selected option. To get the dropdown text, you need to call another method:--

<?php echo $_product->getAttributeText('yourattributecode')?>

Blank Attribute not show in magento

For some odd reason, the Magento developers decided that an empty attribute should NOT be empty, but rather "No" or "N/A", depending on its type. This is not just annoying, but in some cases can display wrong information which means confused visitors and potentially lost sales.

Open the file /app/design/frontend/default/[theme name]/template/catalog/product/view/attribute.phtml in an editor and find the following lines:

<?php foreach ($_additional as $_data): ?>

    <tr>

        <th class="label"><?php echo $this->htmlEscape($this->__($_data['label'])) ?></th>

        <td class="data"><?php echo $_helper->productAttribute($_product, $_data['value'], $_data['code']) ?></td>

    </tr>

<?php endforeach; ?>

Replace these lines with this:

<?php foreach ($_additional as $_data): ?>

    <?php $_attribute = $_product->getResource()->getAttribute($_data['code']);

    if (!is_null($_product->getData($_attribute->getAttributeCode())) && ((string)$_attribute->getFrontend()->getValue($_product) != '')) { ?>

    <tr>

        <th class="label"><?php echo $this->htmlEscape($this->__($_data['label'])) ?></th>

        <td class="data"><?php echo $_helper->productAttribute($_product, $_data['value'], $_data['code']) ?></td>

    </tr>

    <?php } ?>

<?php endforeach; ?>
