I guess you've already seen and followed http://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/templating/introduction.html For more advanced topics on templating I suggest reading STK book. You can find it at http://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/templating/stk.html or you can get your templating guide printed copy from Amazon. And of course you can take a training. Magnolia and STK offers you lots of possibilities for templates creation and many extension points. But it also takes some time to learn about your options and which approaches are best for which situation. The training takes 5 full days with many exercises showing the power of Magnolia and ways how to tackle different needs. Unfortunately there are no shortcuts or 60seconds summary of type "All you need to know about Magnolia" simply because it would have to be limited to configuring existing templates rather then to writing new ones. > 2- How can I apply the security on individual paragraph of a particular > area Magnolia security sets granularity at page level. The only way you can apply security per paragraphs (or areas) is by coding the security yourself in templates or models for such particular cases. > 3- Is there is any way I can manage the all the user including the > Customer of the site, By the customer of site I mean the end user who use > ecommerce site for shopping and purchasing of product. Yes, you can add arbitrary amount of user realms into Magnolia and you can configure separate user managers for them, allowing such users to be backed by different user data sources. This way you can keep your regular users in Magnolia or AD while having the customers stored again in Magnolia (under different realm) or completely outside in your CRM app or other LDAP tree. You can find public user registration module in the list of CE modules that maintains "public" user realm and supports self registration of users for such realm.
