Is there a way to re-install the default Magento theme? - magento

I inherited a Magento store from another developer who tried to customize the default theme and made a mess of things. I'd like to install a fresh template but need the default theme back in its' original form (without the customizations/modifications made by the previous guy). There are no backups available for me to roll back to.
Is there any way I can download and re-install the original, unaltered Magento default theme, or do I need to start with a fresh installation of Magento to obtain this?

There is no solution that I know that comes out of the box regarding templates rollback (as there is not for rolling back sql table schemas...).
You can get the version of the Magento via Mage::getVersion() and it should also be displayed in the footer of the admin panel.
From there, you can download any version of Magento from Magento's website and overwrite the whole directory app/design/frontend/default/default and/or app/design/frontend/default/base depending on the version.
You don't have to get the whole Magento to a fresh install... But chances are, that if the template is that a mess, you could also have to deal with core files modification (the worst) and may want to actually start from a fresh Magento install.

Magento white screen after disabling Mage Module output in Advanced Configuration

I'm developing a Magento store and there is a guy that manages the store, we were transferring the store to another domain but the old one was with all products.
The guy went in advanced configurations and disabled all modules in the old Magento installation, even the Mage ones and now the initial page is white and the admin is too, what could I do to solve this problem?
The version of Magento is 1.9.1.1.
So, he disabled all the Mage modules, including REMOVE ENGINE ie Mage Core?
Hmm...
Ok, here's what you do.
Use phpMyAdmin to open core_config_data, sort table by path and look for all the paths beginning with advanced/modules_disable_output/Mage_ and change the value from 1 to 0
Then delete all the mage--? subfolders in var/cache/ so Magento is forced to reload the configuration data out of the core_config_data table.
This should put your engine back in so the old jalopy will run.

Joomla 3.3.6 admin panel not working

The buttons on the admin panel of my joomla site suddenly wont work anymore,
The dropdown works but when i hit a button it doesnt work.
Almost all buttons, i cant view my articles, categories or menus anymore and a lot of components.
Please help me!
There are two reasons for this problem to happen:
One (or more) core JavaScript files was (were) hacked.
You have recently installed an extension (typically a global system plugin) that created a conflict between JavaScript libraries
Try disabling, from phpMyAdmin, the recently installed plugin(s). Also try overriding all your core Joomla files with a fresh copy of Joomla.
Also make sure you delete your browser cache!
1- Go to yoursite/administrator/index.php
2- In the left side menu, most probably in Maintenance part ... checking joomla is stuck (probably some files damaged)
3- Select reinstall joomla core files.

Lost Pagination Toolbar in Magento 1.8.1

Hello
I have a live Magento 1.8.1 site where pagination was working on product list pages (such as category pages) but I’ve been adding and removing a number of extensions / plugins and I’ve lost all pagination. Unfortunately, I can’t remember the last time it was working so I can’t think precisely what extension might have caused the problem.
I’ve checked all the usual fixes such as here but my catalog.xml is fine (and all problems seem to only relate to 1.4 - 1.6). I am reluctant to upload new files which I actually think might fix it but I also know how temperamental Magento is! Everything else is working perfectly for the first time after a month of serious hard work including a couple of reinstalls!
The website is next2new.net and although you can see a custom theme, there is also no pagination on the default magento theme which indicates to me it’s a core problem somewhere.
Any thoughts on any files I could check / change before I do a big overwrite?
Many thanks
Following things you can try in order to Cope-up with this situation :
1) Disable those modules which is overriding Catalog module and check once again.
2) Check whether Toolbar block is calling or not using Template and Block Path hints using Magento Admin.
3) If you are using any template, possibly there could be a setting in Admin section to Manage toolbar.

Magento cart page is not showing

My Magento cart page is not showing at all. It just comes up with a blank page. Previously this site was developed by another developer and He has disabled the Checkout process. Now I cannot find which settings he has done to stop the checkout process.
Can anyone tell me what are the possibilities to stop the default module from working.
Also every thing else is coming right on the cart page. Header and footer and all the things just that it is not rendering the html for cart block. The Content just came up empty, with no HTML.
Please open the adminpanel and then go to the
System/Configuration/Advanced
there is a tab Disable Modules Output and then enable the Mage_checkout module
As I have told you the previous developer have disabled the modules. But that was not the case the developer have installed some extensions to disable the checkout process but that does not work very well. Then he tries to delete the extensions the wrong way so the entries that were made by those extensions was still in the database table "core_config_data".
And these values are being used by the left over files of the extensions ans he has overridden the magento core files for that. I just copy and replace the core magento files and also cleared the table "core_config_data" table and all things got working once again.

opencart theme not changing

I installed opencart 1.5.6 on my localhost, and it's not possible for me to change the theme. The admin panel says the new theme is active, but the default theme always appears.
I made the same installation on a remote server, and everything is working well there.
I have no idea what's wrong on my localhost. I'm on a new installation on Ubuntu 12.4 with a default configuration for LAMP. I tried to compare the two phpinfo but there are so many things that are different that gives me no clue.
It was just a problem of rights on the theme folder. Very stupid ...
First, I would check your database to see if the change is registered. Use phpMyAdmin (or whatever included with your LAMP stack) and look at the "oc_setting" (prefix may differ) and see if the config_template is set to the template you've chosen via the admin. This will help identify if the issue is database related.
I have the solution, the ACTUAL solution. (For me anyway)
Extract the theme.
Login to your OpenCart website using FTP. Please read our article if
you need help using FTP.
Upload the catalog and images folders to the root of your OpenCart installation.
Once the upload is finished, log into your OpenCart Dashboard and go
to System > Settings
Choose your website from the list, check the box next to it, and select “Edit”
In the store tab you will now see your new theme option available under 'Template'
Click Save.
It has now been updated.
Many, many tutorials online at the moment incorrectly instruct people to upload their theme directly into the catalog > view > theme location as though it were a WordPress theme or similar. You actually need to put the appropriate resources where they need to be.
