This a simple best seller product viewing code. you can put it in template. this will grab all the sold product according to sold amount, you can simply put a loop break to show number of products you want to show .

<?php /* Best Seller*/

$visibility = array(
Mage_Catalog_Model_Product_Visibility::VISIBILITY_BOTH,
Mage_Catalog_Model_Product_Visibility::VISIBILITY_IN_CATALOG
                     );
$storeId = Mage::app()->getStore()->getId();
$_productCollection = Mage::getResourceModel('reports/product_collection')
                            ->addAttributeToSelect('*')
           ->addOrderedQty()
                             ->addAttributeToFilter('visibility', $visibility)
                            ->setOrder('ordered_qty', 'desc');

           //print_r($_productCollection);
           foreach($_productCollection as $bs_product){
           echo '<li><a href="'.$bs_product->getUrl_path().'">'.$bs_product->Name.'</a></li>';
              }
?>

Shops with a few products can view their product according to category in navigation. It will simplify a for customer to find their product find easily.
There is no such feature in magento default layered navigation. So, I created one, It take me 7 hr to write few line of code you can add this code in cms page, /app/design/frontend/base/default/template/page/2column-right.phtml or any where in your theme. have fun !

<ul><?php
$collection = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->getCollection();
$collection->addAttributeToSelect('url_key')
->addAttributeToSelect('id')
->load();
foreach ($collection AS $_cat)
{
if(($_cat->getId()!=1) && ($_cat->getId()!=2))
{
$cat = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($_cat->getId());
echo '<li>'.$cat->getName().' </li>';
$cur_category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($_cat->getId());
$_productCollection =Mage::getResourceModel('catalog/product_collection')
->addCategoryFilter($cur_category)
->setOrder('position', 'ASC');
echo '<ul>';
foreach ($_productCollection AS $_product)
{
$cur_product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($_product->getId());
echo '<li><a href="'.$cur_product->getUrl_key().'.html">'.$cur_product->getName().'</a></li>';
}
echo '</ul></dd>';
}
} //end menu
?></ul>

Creating a Joomla component that create user, can help you to add user from other forum, script etc… or from a simple mailing list. below function will help you to create a registered user from email address and name. pass the array with your user data.

$qcnewu=array(
'name'=>$gname,
'username'=>$gemail,
'email'=>$gemail,
'password'=>$tmp_pwd,
'password2'=>$tmp_pwd,
'id'=>"0",
'gid'=>"0"
);

function auto_usr($qcnewu)
   {
      $db =& JFactory::getDBO();

      global $mainframe;
      $user       = clone(JFactory::getUser());
      $pathway    =& $mainframe->getPathway();
      $config     =& JFactory::getConfig();
      $authorize  =& JFactory::getACL();
      $document   =& JFactory::getDocument();
      $newUsertype = 'Registered';

      if (!$user->bind( $qcnewu, 'usertype' )) {
         JError::raiseError( 500, $user->getError());
      }

      $user->set('id', 0);
      $user->set('usertype', $newUsertype);
      $user->set('gid', 18);
      $user->set('lastvisitDate', '0000-00-00 00:00:00');
      $user->set('sendEmail', 0);
      $date =& JFactory::getDate();
      $user->set('registerDate', $date->toMySQL());

      jimport('joomla.user.helper');
      //$user->set('activation', JUtility::getHash( JUserHelper::genRandomPassword()) );
      $user->set('block', '0');

      // Show error with registration
      if ( !$user->save() )
      {
         //JError::raiseWarning('', JText::_( $user->getError()));
         return false;
      }else return true;

   }

Why we need a JS file extension verification ! user can easily submit from by writing js code in url or using tools like Greasemonkey. Yap ! user can upload server executable script file !!!  but, we need a js extension verification code coz, Let user uploading a large file which takes time then user got the message ‘file format not supported’ !
So, I used a js file extension verifier and a php extension / file type verifier both. have a look.

<script type="text/javascript">
function ex_chk(){
var str=document.getElementById("user_file").value;
compr = str.split(".");
i=compr.length-1;
if((compr[i]!="php")&&(compr[i]!="asp")
&&(compr[i]!="jsp")&&(compr[i]!="js")
&&(compr[i]!="cgi")&&(compr[i]!="swf")
&&(compr[i]!="exe")&&(compr[i]!="html"))
{ document.getElementById("file_upload").submit(); }
else{ alert("File format not supported"); }
}
</script>

<form name="file_upload" id="file_upload" action="upload.php"  method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" onsubmit="">
Click Browse, select a file, then <br>
click upload<br>

<input type="file"  name="user_file" id="user_file" />
<br />
<input type="button" onclick="ex_chk();" name="btn_upload" value="Upload" />
</form>

php verification code:

function chk_ext(){
$allowedExtensions = array("php","asp","html","jsp","cgi","exe","js","swf");
foreach ($_FILES as $file) {
if ($file['tmp_name'] > '') {
if (in_array(end(explode(".",
strtolower($file['name']))),
$allowedExtensions)) {
$re = "File type not supported";
return 0;
}
}
}
return 1;
}//func end

My joomla component need to redirect in another page of same site but, that menu item not showing active, coz Itemid is not added in redirect url. I can’t just add the the itemid coz it will install in many site where itemid will not be the same. It’s maybe very simple for any joomla developer. I detect the page’s itemid by link attribute.

$menu = & JSite::getMenu();
$item = $menu->getItems('link', 'index.php?option=com_qc&view=qc',1);
echo $item->id;
and redirect to this link
index.php?option=com_qc&view=qc&Itemid='.$item->id
