| - | The first step to combining Magento and RTD is to insert a "Design It Now" button within your magento site. The simplest way to do this is to insert a button image and HTML link for the RTD directly into your Magento product description. Because our site would have a large array of products, we chose a bit more complicated method that involves creating to attributes in magento. One attribute determines whether the product will be a "design online" type of product. The second attribute contains the external link for that product into RTD. This standardized our site so that the Design It Now button always appeared in the same location. Details for our method are here:\\ | + | The first step to combining Magento and RTD is to insert a "Design It Now" button within your magento site.

| + | In Magento backend, create an Attribute Set for the special product type. Name the attribute set “Product Design Required”. Next, create 2 attributes as shown: | ||
| + | **Catalog > Manage Attributes > Add New Attribute** | ||
| + | == Attribute one: == | ||
| + | * Attribute name : Show “Design Online” button | ||
| + | * Attribute code: launchdesign | ||
| + | * Scope: Global | ||
| + | * Catalog Input Type for Store: Yes/No | ||
| + | * Values Required: Yes | ||
| + | * Visible on Product View Page on Front-end: Yes | ||
| + | * Used in Product Listing: Yes | ||
| + | == Attribute two: == | ||
| + | * Attribute name : Design Link | ||
| + | * Attribute code: design_link | ||
| + | * Scope: Global | ||
| + | * Catalog Input Type for Store: Text Field | ||
| + | * Values Required: No | ||
| + | * Visible on Product View Page on Front-end: Yes | ||
| + | * Used in Product Listing: Yes | ||
| + | Assign these attributes to Attribute Set. Now when you create new products, the attributes will be available for all products. | ||
