		<description><![CDATA[How many people were disappointed to install Magento's test data and find out that the home page "Best sellers" was just pain HTML placed into the CMS home page? I certainly was one of those people. That's why I decided to create a Bestseller Module that was dynamic and harnessed the power of Magento's built in features. This post shows you the code and gives and explanation of what is happening.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many developers are familiar with the MVC (Model View Controller) design pattern that is seemingly ubiquitous throughout web frameworks. Looking through the code in Magento, however, we see many other components besides the M's the V's and the C's.

Each module  (a "module" meaning the separate directories within the "app/code/core/Mage" directory that comprise of Magento's different functional areas) contains the usual Controller and Model. You'll see that within each module, there are no Views (more on this later). You'll also see extra tidbits, such as "helper" , "etc" and "sql". These are (and are not) standard within the Zend Framework context and will not be discussed in this article. In these modules are also the sort of files which we work with very often. The all powerful block! This article will attempt to (hopefully accurately) describe just what a Block is and how it's used.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi All -
Finally time for a new post! (Something I'm surprised I haven't covered yet).
This post will inform you on how to run Magento code outside of Magento. All you need is to have access to Magento's '<strong>app/Mage.php</strong>' file.

This will be handy code for a few things:
<ul>
	<li>Integration with 3rd party items - shared sessions, or just shared themes</li>
	<li>Ajax calls - although not the preferred solutions for Ajax calls, it is a quick and easy one</li>
</ul>]]></description>

The blocks below should all work from List.phtml (<strong>app\design\frontend\default\default\template\catalog\product\list.phtml</strong>).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This tutorial will show you the proper method for overriding a Mage core class. This will work for Block and Model classes. Controllers are a slightly different story and for another tutorial.

Some discussion on breadcrumbs: I will be overriding the Core file: app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Block/Breadcrumbs.php (which I will call [Breadcrumbs-B]). This file is not to be confused with the block: app/code/core/Mage/Page/Block/Html/Breadcrumbs.php (which I will call [Breadcrumbs-A]).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some people have run into a bug (apparently since version 1.1.3) where (not matter the settings in the backend) the users were getting redirected to the home page after they added a product to the cart.

Naturally this won't be what most people want. (There is the option in the backend to set "After adding a product redirect to shopping cart" to 'Yes' or 'No' but this bug is ignoring this).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Part of customizing Magento is, of course, creating custom Modules. These allow you to inject functionality anywhere, whether in a "static" block fashion that's more than static, or a shipping/payment module, or large module to do something as large as integrating a 3rd party system (or multiple systems).

There are many things custom Modules can do, from editing your Database, to handling module upgrades to overriding classes (Blocks, Controllers, Models) ... and more!]]></description>
