It is widely assumed that knowledge is power and that it has to be built upon every day. It takes a lot of time to put a person’s knowledge into a book. For the past few months I was looking for a new book in order to expand on my frontend knowledge.
Due to lack of free time I usually read only particular sections of some book or I surf the Internet if I need a specific piece of information.
Long story short, just at that time Andrea Sacca published his new book which covers one of my favorite topics – Creating responsive Magento theme. As one of the frontend developers at Inchoo, I had the opportunity to receive one of first copies of that book (and a copy for entire Inchoo). To return the favor to the author, we were asked to write a review of the book.

Huh, this is a long title. To bad I could not fit extra more into it :). Extending admin interface in Magento can be a tedious task. Unlike WordPress where you have a thing or two to setup then the rest of it comes to good old HTML forms and stuff, Magento requires completely different approach. Magento uses xml configuration files to build parts of admin interface needed for your custom module.
In this article I will show you how to “understand and read” existing config.xml files in order to build interface and at the end, how to read the values stored in admin backend. After all, that’s the point of admin interface, you setup some stuff, write some values, then you use those values across your site where certain functionality is needed.
