How to change design of checkout billing in Magento 1.9.1? - magento

I have copied the file ../template/checkout/onepage/billing.phtml to my theme and I have changed its code, but nothing changes. Other files like shipping changes when I make a modification.
Why does this happen? How can I change the billing.phtml?

To find out particular template file in magento, use template hint paths. here is the good tutorial to enable this:

You can access Checkout billing step file from the following location in your theme:
template/persistent/checkout/onepage/billing.phtml
Hope this helps !!

Checkout Error After Upgrading Magento to 1.8.1

I updated my site from Magento 1.8.0 to 1.8.1 and now the checkout process won't proceed after choosing a shipping method. Can someone please advise on this matter?
Thanks
Solved. In the checkout.xml file of our template, we had to make the following change (change the methods.html file to info.html) The new base template could not override this line and therefore the checkout-payment-method-load div was not writtten. See here: https://magento.stackexchange.com/questions/10984/magneto-v1-8-one-page-checkout-not-loading-payment-information
I just copied the checkout.xml file from app/design/frontend/default/modern/layout/checkout.xml and overwrote the one in our custom directory app/design/frontend/YourName/default/layout with that one, and it fixed the problem. Same with the "white page" PayPal issue. If you have a paypal/ folder in the template folder of your custom skin you also need to replace that with the default one I guess for the paypal issue.

Fishpig's Magento WP Integration -- WP not using Magento Theme/Package

I've successfully installed Fishpig's Magento WordPress Integration extension. I followed the instructions where you install via Magento Connect and had no problems. This is by the way all on the development server which does not have Caching or Compiling enabled.
The Magento cart is installed in the webroot directory and WordPress is in subdirectory "wp" as stated in Fishpig's instructions. The Full Integration blog path is /blog.
PROBLEM:
When I visit the blog's page it is not using the Magento theme. I even set it to use the same layout (same as CMS's homepage) We have a custom Magento theme. Maybe there is something we are doing incorrectly Magento theme wise for Fishpig's extension not to work. Screenshots to come eventually but the host (DataGram) is down due to the flooding Downtown. Should be back hopefully today.
To clarify... WordPress is using its own database. In the Shop's admin panel->WordPress tab I setup Full Integration and set the path to "wp" and the blog path is blog.
So, now if I visit for example... example.com you are in the shop and if you visit example.com/blog you are in the fully integrated blog.
Bottom line is it seems to be configured fine in the admin panel. I am not requesting the blog page from the wp directory (I.E: example.com/wp) but from the fully integrated page (example.com/blog).
Our problem could be similar to what this person is experiencing:

Have a great weekend all!

Huzzah looks like I got things working :-)
The culprit was that this file:
"app/design/frontend/default/eboost/layout/wordpress.xml"
^^ was pointing to the wrong template filename. Corrected and was good to go. Modified line was number 66.
Funny thing is that on the top of that XML file it states:
"
Option 1 - local.xml (recommended)
Create a file named local.xml in your custom theme's layout folder. You can then make changes to the layout there by
using the relevant layout handle. This allows you to leave this file intact and recieve new features
when upgrading the extension.
Option 2 - copy this file
Copy this file and it's contents to a new file in your custom theme's layout folder named wordpress.xml.
Each time you upgrade, you will need to check with your copy of the file and
the copy in app/design/frontend/base/default/layout/wordpress.xml for changes and merge any you find"
Now, as stated in my Original Posting I installed FishPig extension using their instructions: http://fishpig.co.uk/wordpress-integration/docs/installation-and-configuration.html
^^ Therefore I don't know why it is setup using Option 2. That wordpress.xml is in our theme's layout directory.

I feel I should also state the other changes I did even though it doesn't seem like it contributed to making it work. Just doing for completeness:
-- Renamed the subdirectory /wp to /wordpress and changed all references to dev.eboost.com/wp to dev.eboost.com/wordpress within the DataBase using http://interconnectit.com/124/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/
-- Removed .htaccess from /wordpress folder
So bottom line is looks like it is working normally. We are now set for working on redesign for site.

Have a look at this.

I also used Fishpig and it is working.
What do you mean by visiting the blog page? Do you request the blog page from the wordpress directory?
If so, it doesn't change its design.
You have to request the blog within your shop.

Magento Onepage Checkout ChildHTML pages not updating?

I am working on a theme for Magento and simply modifying the base theme. When I am editing the app/design/frontend/base/default/template/checkout/onepage/billing.phtml file and any of the other files within the onepage folder it doesn't update the actual process of the checkout. Even if I erase the whole file the contents of that step on the checkout are still there. Is this content being pulled from another spot? ( i have cache disabled )
turn on template hints
add print_r(get_included_files()); at the end to your php to see what files and from where are included
make sure that your site is not APC cached
Has the exact same problem, for some reason there is another billing.phtml in the persistent directory that is being used....

Magento: theme fallback hierarchy question

Can someone verify what I think is what's happening with Magento's fallback theme hierarchy.
The final fall-back point is the /base/default/ theme.
Within your interface/package (they are the same things right?), your default theme is selected at, from the Magento admin page, System->Configuration->General->Design->Themes->"B" ("B" is an example name of the theme).
On top of your default package theme, you can select an active theme from System->Design->"A".
So with this setup, Magento will look into "A" first, then in "B", then finally resort to base/default if neither A or B has files it needs.
Correct or no? TIA!
Sorta.
The fall-back hierarchy in Magento CE v1.4+ and EE v1.8+ is as follows.
Look for requested file in:
app/design/frontend/custom_package/custom_theme/
skin/frontend/custom_ package/custom_theme
If not found, look for requested file in:
app/design/frontend/custom_package/default
skin/frontend/custom_package/default
If not found, look for requested file in:
app/design/frontend/base/default
skin/frontend/base/default
If not found, a rendering error will occur.
Source: Magento's Theme Hierarchy - Changes in CEv1.4 and EEv1.8
I will do my best to clarify some points for you.
If you are not using a child theme, magneto will use /base/, however if you have a child theme active, magneto will use your custom theme files.
For example, If your new theme file has a header.phtml file but not footer.phtml, Magento will automatically fall back to the base. this is why its never smart to edit core files

how to change template in phpbb3 forum

i want to change default template in phpbb3. for this where i have to made changes. i am trying to changes file inside style/subsilver2/template...but i didn't made any right .please help me ..in which file i have to made changes.i have also try in admin section in style..but not successes... if any one have clue..please help me.
Thanks
Manish
It depends what part of the page you would like to change, since the template is a set of many HTML files with preprocessing instructions. They are located in:
[PHPBB_Folder]/styles/[Theme_Name]/template
You can find the right html file by searching for a specific part of source code copied from the live page of the forum.
Important note: when you're changing phpBB template files, don't forget to reset the template cache in the forum admin panel (go to Admin / Styles tab - and clear cache for what you changed, Template, Theme, or Imageset.
I hope this helps.
