Lastname

<?php echo $this->__('Hello Mr %s', Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->getCustomer()->getLastname()); ?>

Changing the Currency Select Menu in Magento to a List with Flags
Because a regular select menu can’t have images or background images applied to it (except in newer versions of Firefox) you need to use another method by changing a phtml file, css and a touch of JS to make it a touch better.

Step 1: Open /app/design/frontend/default/{YOUR THEME}/template/directory/currency.phtml and change the <select> and everything in between for this:

<ul>
<?php foreach ($this->getCurrencies() as $_code => $_name):
if($_code==$this->getCurrentCurrencyCode()){
$topoption = ‘<li style=”background-image: url(\’/skin/frontend/default/{YOUR SKIN}/images/flags/’.$_code.’.png\’)”><a href=”‘.$this->getSwitchCurrencyUrl($_code).’”>’.$_name.’ – ‘.$_code.’</a></li>’.”\n”;
}

In this tutorial we will be discussing how to set up multiple Magento stores on the same dedicated server. In this example I will be setting up 2 stores, one main store (TV Mania) and one sub-store (Macs R Us), both of these have been completely made up!

Create Root Category

Firstly we will need to create hosting accounts for each of the stores on the server and install Magento onto the main/parent account (TV Mania). Once we have installed Magento and have full access to the admin area we’ll need to create a new root category for our sub store (Macs R Us) to use.

We can do this by going to Catalog > Manage Categories and clicking Add New Root Category on the left. This will load the normal Magento category fields, in this example we will input the following and save the root category:

If you go to pretty much any e-commerce site you will see in the header your quick cart details, these will consist of how many items are in your basket and how much your current total is. By default Magento only shows you how many items are currently in your basket and no total. As a store owner you want to give your customers as much detail as possible and knowing how much they are spending on your site is something the customer may want to know without having to go to their basket to see their current total.

The solution below shows you how to add the price total of the basket to your basket details; this is a really easy and quick solution. Firstly navigate toyourtemplatename/page/html/header.phtml and copy the code below to where you want it displayed.
