This post is the third part of a series covering the feature set of the Magento PHP-based e-commerce package. In particular, it will review the catalog browsing features. Some of the features in this area are restricted to the Enterprise Edition of Magento. As such, reviewing them required accessing the demo for that edition on the Magento web site.

There's a long list of features that make up this section including things like:

• Layered / Faceted Navigation for Product Filtering in Categories
• Static Block Tool to Create Category Landing Pages
• Unique Design Per Product/Category
• Configurable Search with Auto-Suggested Terms
• Cross-sells, Up-sells, and Related Items
• Product Listing in Grid or List Format
• Breadcrumbs

Take a look at the rest of the post for more features and a summary of three larger issues he found when working with them.

In my post that I wrote that I would be back for good this time, I mentioned that I was going to be working on a gallery script. My good friend Chris let me know that he also wrote a simple script viewer that works quite while. His script is SimpleView Gallery and it requires to modification for it, just upload the script to a directory that contains images and that's it.

He also mentions a small change he made to make it work with WordPress and it's automatic thumbnailing system (to hide those thumbnails).
