Magento swatches not loading in home page latest and featured products section - magento

In my magento home page, latest products & featured products section's color swatches of products is not working. I tried with following code in home page Custom Layout Update XML but it did not work:
<reference name="content">
<block type="catalog/product_new" name="product_new" template="catalog/product/new.phtml">
<block type="core/text_list" name="product_list.name.after" as="name.after" />

<block type="core/text_list" name="product.info.options.configurable.renderers" as="attr_renderers" />

<block type="core/text_list" name="product.info.options.configurable.after" as="after" />
</block>
</reference>
</PRODUCT_TYPE_configurable>
Please help me to solve this.

Try this for configurable products:
<reference name="content">
<block type="catalog/product_list" name="product_list" template="catalog/product/list-no-toolbar.phtml">
<block type="core/text_list" name="product_list.name.after" as="name.after" />

custom tab to product detail page fro configurable products only

i used below code to add custom tab to product detail page
<block type="catalog/product_view_description" name="product.description" as="description" template="catalog/product/view/description.phtml">
<action method="addToParentGroup"><group>detailed_info</group></action>
<action method="setTitle" translate="value"><value>Description</value></action>
</block>
now i want to show it only for configurable product what should i do for it ?..
You should add your code in "PRODUCT_TYPE_configurable" handle in catalog.xml instead of "catalog_product_view" .
Start fro 275 line change :
<PRODUCT_TYPE_configurable translate="label" module="catalog">
<label>Catalog Product View (Configurable)</label>
<reference name="product.info">
<block type="catalog/product_view_description" name="product.description" as="description"
template="catalog/product/view/description.phtml">
<action method="addToParentGroup">
<group>detailed_info</group>
</action>
<action method="setTitle" translate="value">
<value>Description</value>
</action>
</block>
<block type="catalog/product_view_type_configurable" name="product.info.configurable" as="product_type_data"
template="catalog/product/view/type/default.phtml">
<block type="core/text_list" name="product.info.configurable.extra" as="product_type_data_extra"
translate="label">
<label>Product Extra Info</label>
</block>
</block>
</reference>
<reference name="product.info.options.wrapper">
<block type="catalog/product_view_type_configurable" name="product.info.options.configurable"
as="options_configurable" before="-" template="catalog/product/view/type/options/configurable.phtml"/>

Magento override nested block

I have my local.xml set up as follows:
<cms_index_index translate="label">
<reference name="content">
<block name="promos" type="page/html" template="cms/promos/homepage.phtml" as="promos" />
<block type="page/html_wrapper" name="home.footer">
<action method="setElementClass"><value>l-two-col group</value></action>
<block type="page/html_wrapper" name="home.footer.main">
<action method="setElementClass"><value>l-main</value></action>
<block type="page/html" name="featured_products" template="catalog/category/favourites.phtml" as="featured_products" />
</block>
<block type="page/html_wrapper" name="home.footer.side">
<action method="setElementClass"><value>l-sidebar</value></action>
<block type="vertnav/navigation" name="catalog.vertnav" as="vertnav" template="vertnav/left.phtml">
<action method="setCategoryId"><category_id>3</category_id></action>
</block>
</block>
</block>
</reference>
</cms_index_index>
I have the below code in a module layout xml file which is correctly replacing the 'promos' block but I can't get it to do the same for the block named "featured_products".
<cms_index_index translate="label">
<remove name="promos"></remove>
<reference name="content">
<block type="page/html" template="cms/promos/homepage-usa.phtml" as="promos" />
</reference>
</cms_index_index>
Does anyone know how I can replace the featured_products bloc in the same way as I have already done for the promos block?
I have tried:
<reference name="content">
<block type="page/html" template="cms/promos/homepage-usa.phtml" as="promos" />
<reference name="home.footer">
<reference name="home.footer.main">
<block type="page/html" name="featured_products1" template="catalog/category/favourites-usa.phtml" as="featured_products1" />
</reference>
</reference>
</reference>
Thanks in advance,
Dave
Whereas you are in local.xml, I'm not sure why you aren't just removing the directives. In any event:
<remove name="featured_products"/> or
<action method="unsetChild" block="home.footer.main"><child>featured_products</child></action>
You should always add a name attribute to your block.

products are not showing up when I click categories in magento

I have manage to add category list in the left hand size. Please ignore the category on top menu.
But when you click Category on the left hand side. It will not display any product. I dont know why.
If you can have a look at the website its : www.poppershop.net.au/dev
I have already done the following but still no luck
checked
1. Products Enable
2. In Stock
3. Add Quantity
4. Selected the category
Can you please help me out. I am new to Magento.

Pradeep, check you catalog.xml file in editor. There must be issue, when are commenting some xml part to display menu in left bar.
Hope this will help !

Magento - Order summary onepage checkout

I'm working on a Magento site, which is using the Magento's onepage checkout.
I need to show an order summary on the right hand side of the checkout process (instead of the "your checkout process block")
The summary ideally will need to consist of;
Product name, quantity and price
With the sub total, delivery cost and grand total prices underneath.
I have this in my checkout.xml
<checkout_onepage_index translate="label">
<label>One Page Checkout</label>
<reference name="head">
<remove name="cookielawHead" />
</reference>
<reference name="footer">

This will add the cart and the totals on the right side of the checkout.

Magento, replace block on product view on custom theme

We have a custom theme from a 3rd provider. The provider left some blank spaces where it is possible to add some more information. I already have settled up a custom layout, it reads the nedeed block and paints whatever I need but only on the content or head reference blocks. I can not find the needed block to be referenced to add there the needed information. I guess it should be inside the catalog_product_view group. How can I find it? I've found some useful information here and here on StackOverflow, but can not get to the correct answer.
Here is what I have for now:
My layout file, banners.xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<layout version="0.1.0">
<catalog_product_view>
<reference name="content">
<block type="banners/front" name="banners.front" as="banners_front"
template="banners/product.phtml" before="-"/>
</reference>
</catalog_product_view>
</layout>
My product.phtml file:
<div>
<h3>Hello...</h3>
<p>This is my custom block</p>
</div>
Here is the catalog_product_view group found on the layout file catalog.xml from the 3rd part theme:
<catalog_product_view translate="label">
<label>Catalog Product View (Any)</label>
