Has opencart 2.1 a cache system apart from modification?
I'm trying to restyle an opencart 2.1 site.
I've modified catalog/view/theme/my-theme/template/product/product.tpl
but I'm not able to see my updates.
The site has only 1 modification that affects Admin area...I've also tried to disable it and update cache, but without success.
I've tried to open site in another browser, but nothing.
Finally I've tried to rename product.tpl to product111.tpl (also in view/theme/default/product)... but the original product page is still loaded.
Does someone know why this happens?
UPDATE : I haven't found a solution, so I made a fresh installation, applied custom theme and then copied modified files... everything is Ok now. If I modify product.tpl, all changes are visible in product page.
If you have vQmod installed there is a vqcache also.
You can check to see if you have vQmod installed like this:
yoursite.com/vqmod/install
It should usually clear itself, but if it doesn't then you can safely rename the vqcache folder to clear it.
The reason I say rename rather than delete is that sometimes a change to the cache will show an error which wasn't spotted when the original change was made and might prevent orders until it's fixed. If you rename then you can place the folder back and it will work again but of course you should fix the error when you can.

In prestashop I wanted to customize the default bankwire payment module. I have changed many things there in the payment.php file which is working file, but when I tried to change the smarty file(payment_execution.tpl) it did not showed any changes. I tried to remove cache from the cache folder then I tried every process which tells to remove cache, disable cache from the store. But it did not showed the changes in the frontend. I also made the same changes inside prestashop theme folder (themes/default-bootstrap/module/bankwire) but still it did not showed the changes. So can someone tell me what's the issue here?
Delete everything inside cache/smarty/cache and cache/smarty/compile
Set the option Template compilation in ADVANCED PARAMETERS > PERFORMANCE
to Recompile templates if the files have been updated
Search for all files named payment_execution.tpl in PrestaShop
If it doesn't work you'll need to check the file modules\bankwire\controllers\front\payment.php and follow the instruction $this->setTemplate('payment_execution.tpl'); step by step to see the path of the tpl (you will need a php debugger for that)
I'm working on Magento installation that is causing me frustration.
I CAN find what seems to be the correct page.xml file loading the theme's Javascript (i.e prototype, scriptaculous, etc) in the header, but editing this file and removing scripts does not do ANYTHING for me. When I try and remove/add any new scripts, nothing happens.
Maybe a cache issue? But I have deleted all files from the cache folder. I also tried to find the "Cache Management" menu in Admin, but there is not one there.
I'm 99% confident that I have looked in all of the folders that would call all Javascript.
I am new to Magento, so maybe I've missed something completely.
Any suggestions on where I could find where the basic scripts would be loading from?
I do not know if I got it right. But what you want to know is the directory where the file .js is located, correct?
Try looking in: yourdomain/skin/frontend/yourtheme/default/js/
or: yourdomain/skin/frontend/default/yourtheme/js/
Page.xml is the correct file you need to modify. If not a caching issue, the only other thing I can think of is you have a theme installed but trying to modify the default(base) page.xml.
I am doing some simple hooks and some more advanced ones for a customer. (CS-Cart 2.1.4)
I have 2 websistes (production site and test site)...the two environment are not exactly the same, sadly
If I edit anything in a TPL file in the test environment, I simply save+upload on FTP and the edits are immediately visible on test website...
If I do the same edits on production environment, then save+upload on FTP, nothing changes on the storefront...
I understand it has probably something to do with template caching, and i should run mysite.com/admin.php?cc
The problem is I am the new webmaster, the old one left arguing with customer, I don't know what he has left exactly and I am afraid of refreshing production cache and "destroying" everything...(the website makes about 1M Euros/year...just to tell you what...). what if he has made some changes on the template and never refreshed cache???
Any suggestion on how to see my edits to those damned .tpl files???
To avoid clearing cache manually (by &cc) you should to change the Store mode.
Open the Admin area (any page) and look at the page bottom: http://screencast.com/t/aS2aG7oYTg
Your Store is working in Live mode and the Smart Template Engine does not check the changes in file. Click once this link and the Store mode will be changed to the "Development". Cache will be updated automatically.
P.S. You can delete var/cache and var/compiled. Store will not be destroyed :)
I solved it, by creating a clone of the Virtual Machine , editing there, and then replicated edits on main production site after being 100% sure there were no issues when clearing the cache ;-)
I opened a product, deleted it's images and uploaded other 2 instead. They appeared in backend.
I refreshed the cache, deleted the cache of images in System=>Cache Management. I deleted cache of images in media/catalog/product/cache manually. I deleted the cache in var/cache, deleted the cache in var/minifycache (I have Fooman Speedster), updated indexes in index management. I deleted the cache in my browser.
Finally, the previous images still were present. WTF? I hit all the delete/refresh-buttons again and again, 10 times, I deleted all the possible and impossible caches manually from a file system. Result: the new images didn't appear.
I got very angry after 2 hours of trying.
I deleted those old images from the file system.
The new images did't appear, now I have a default image of Magento for a product.
I tried to access the new images directly (e.g. http://mysite.com/media/catalog/products/o/1.jpg), and the images are loaded and found without problems.
The new images are showed in backend fine.
What the hell is happening? How to get rid of it and, finally, to go bad at 5 a.m.??? Thank everybody for helping me.
My only advice is to double and triple check that you've flush all caches possible (Magento Cache, System Cache, and all 8 caches along with media cache). If you're using Zend Full Page cache, empty that too. Go to /var/cache and delete everything in here and do the same in var/sessions (if you're storing sessions in the file system and not the database).
If all of that fails try using a different browser that you have yet to view the site on. If that fails try uploading a fresh copy of your version of magento, replacing all the core files. I've seen crazy things happen with Magento and a upload of a clean copy fixes problems for whatever reason. Hope this helps!
Just ran into this problem myself. Don't forget to look externally as well, such as in the case of varnish/pagespeed/some CDN, and pay close attention to the URLs. I spent about an hour scratching my head wondering why it wasn't working when I was purging the wrong thing (www.example.com instead of media.example.com).
just try on command
php bin/magento catalog:image:resize
then
reindex command
your system will work perfectly.
This is my first time working with Magento and here is what happend: I spent two days reading the documentation and tweaking the settings to fit my needs. I then installed this theme:
http://themeforest.net/item/decostore-magento-theme/1876494?WT.ac=category_thumb&WT.seg_1=category_thumb&WT.z_author=8theme
The problem is that the theme didn't work the way I was expecting and now I'd like to rollback to the default theme and completely remove everything added by this theme to my installation.
Unfortunately, I didn't backup the installation and database before I installed the new theme and I have no idea where to start.
Thanks in advance.
1. Switching back to default theme
Go to the admin area and then system > configuration > design
Change "Current Package Name" to 'default' and make sure all inputs under the "Themes" section are empty. This will return you to the default theme.
2. Completely remove everything added by this theme
I take it from your question that you are not using any form of source control. Might be an idea to look into this for the future :)
Magento 1.7 has introduced backup and rollback features so you may also want to check that out.
If this is the case, backup everything before you start removing files and directories as described below
Anyway, to completely remove all files and directories added when you installed the module, unfortunately it will simply be a case of manually finding the files and directories deleting.
The easiest way to do this will be to find the original source code you received when you purchased the theme and removing the corresponding files from your site. When removing directories be careful to only remove those specific to the theme - It will have been sent to you structured so that you can easily drag straight in to your web root - so will contain some other directories required by Magento, simply to give it the correct hierarchy.
At the very least there will be files and folders specific to the theme located in the following directories:
app/design/frontend
skin/frontend
js
and also most likely some more in the following:
app/etc/modules
app/design/adminhtml
app/locale
I know the result for this can be different for everyone, but in case someone else comes across my specific case, it was the N98 folder under app/code/community/N98 that caused the problem. Particularly their CustomerGroupCheckout plugin as shown here: https://github.com/amenk/N98_CustomerGroupCheckout
Removing the N98 folder brought back the configuration page.
