Following on from our first part here, we look at how to integrate the Google Shopping API with Magento Go.
In the first part we set up a Google Merchants account and linked it up with Magento Go. In this part we’ll look at adding the necessary attributes required by Google Shopping and adding them to products.
Recently a client of ours asked if we could add a Facebook Like button to all of the products on their Magento Go site, the idea being that when the button was pressed it would then add the link to that particular product to their Facebook page.
In Magento Community this wouldn’t be too much of a problem, however this particular site is a Magento Go store which doesn’t have the same amount of customisability or extensions. A quick search of the Magento Go documentation brought up a page showing how to add social networking links to Magento Go through a static block, but no reference to what code would be needed to actually connect to Facebook.

The last couple of months has been a great time for us with the introduction of a couple of new team members and our official partnership with Magento Go due in no small part to our fantastic and increasingly successful clients, for which we are very grateful.
As a follow-up to our Magento column navigation extension post from last week, we’ve just pushed the latest version to GitHub.
(more…)
Recently we had need to create a mega menu style navigation element on a client site. The child categories from the primary navigation menu needed to be output in columns, rather than one long list. Now, Magento by default simply outputs a single <ul> in the parent element’s <li>, meaning a pure CSS solution would have ordered children to read left to right, rather than top to bottom.
