I've managed to get to the point where I understand how to move blocks from column to column in my Magento layouts: via specifying a "left" or "right" attribute in the <reference> tag. However, I don't understand how to change the order in which blocks appear. I've noticed that the "before" and "after" attributes of the <block> tag have something to do it with, but I'm not sure how they work. If I want to move a block from the top of its area to anywhere else in our page, what's the proper use and syntax for those attributes? For example, I have a Category page and I have these blocks in it:

I am trying to create a one step checkout, but in the checkout page I have problem with order review part . When I select a payment method for example "cash on deliver" has 5$ extra, or "checkorder" has %4 discount or "credit card payment" adds extra to the order total. I need a way to calculate the discounts before saving the payment method. Any suggestion? Because we are talking about Magento, there are several ways you could do this. The best way to implement that functionality would be to create your own total models for the discounts or additional charges. How to create custom Magento

I'm trying to create an ajax 'quick view' or 'quick cart' type feature on my Magento store. The kind of one where you hover over a product and have the option to 'quick view' it in a lightbox instead of going to the product page. I'm using a very simple jQuery Ajax call like this: $j('#ajaxquickviewcontent').load("http://websiteaddress/category/productname.html .product-view").ajaxComplete(function(){alert ('Done');}); With this method I get all of the content I'm after (i.e. product image, description, the configurable attribute options (size) dropdown, qty selector and add to cart buttons) -

i followed steps on this link to add a date field to my custom module : http://magentomechanic.blogspot.com/2010/01/to-add-custom-date-field-in-custom.html Everything went fine, except for the that when i select a date and save configurations, it returns me date one day before the selected one :( For Example : When i select 25 Feb , 2012 and save , it will save and return 24 Feb , 2012. Notice it saved one day before :( i get this when i print_r($model) in admin controller before save: [start_date] => 2012-01-24 16:00:00 // i set it to 25 but its saving 24 [end_date] => 2012-01-26 16:00:00 //
