I am trying Magento and one thing I'm trying to do, but just cannot achieve, is just change the title of the Product's Description tab.
I've tried searching online but can online find tutorials for adding tabs (which don't work)
All i am after is just to change the product description tab.
you can change it in file:
app/design/frontend/YOUR-PACKAGE/YOUR-THEME/layout/catalog.xml
inside there is a code line:
<action method="setTitle">
<argument translate="true" name="title" xsi:type="string">Description</argument>
</action>
you just need to change <value> node and put what you want

All I want to do is to add a custom font from TypeKit into my Magento 2 website.
Previously I just used to find /app/design/frontend/XXX/XXX/page/head.phtml and edit that. Simple.
With Magento 2 it seems to be hugely complicated. I keep finding articles like this. Do I really need to create an entire Module just to add 2 lines of basic HTML to the head of a document?
Surely there must be an easier way?
I found this similar question, but I dont get the answer. Where do I create a layout file in my theme? Or is it suggesting I create a whole seperate Module again?
I also found this question, and it looks insane. Am I right in thinking that they are editing 3 seperate files, jsut to add a JS file into head?
Surely this cant be right? Isn't there a head.phtml file I can just edit?
Can someone break this down for me, assume I am an idiot, and explain how I can easily just add 2 lines of TypeKit code to the Head. Many thanks.
In your magento admin area: Navigate to "Stores" menu item, under the heading "Settings", click "Configuration", once in "Configuration", click "Design".
Under the "HTML Head" section you will see a box saying "Miscellaneous Scripts" anything you add here will be added to the head section of the website.
I don't know about adding it into the phtml file just yet, however here is how I have added in custom fonts to my theme.
In:
app/design/frontend/<vendor_name>/<theme_name>/Magento_Theme/layout/default_head_blocks.xml
Using (example):
<block type="core/text" name="example_font">
<action method="setText">
<text>
<![CDATA[<script src="https://blahblahblah.js"></script><script>try{Typekit.load();}catch(e){}</script>]]>
</text>
</action>
</block>
Then set it as base font / whatever you want in:
app/design/frontend/<vendor_name>/<theme_name>/web/css/source/_variables.less
Hope that helps even if just a bit!
FYI, it looks like the "HTML Head" referred to here has been moved in the Magento 2 admin. It's now at:
Admin > Content > Configuration > [Click "Edit" on your Theme Name] > Other Settings > HTML Head
Although I like the idea of using layout xml as per knarfeolhcs answer, the layout xml suggested isn't correct as type="core/text" doesn't exist in Magento 2. Here is the layout xml I used to add typekit app/design/frontend/<vendor_name>/<theme_name>/Magento_Theme/layout/default_head_blocks.xml
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
<head>
<script src="https://use.typekit.net/xxxxxxx.js" src_type="url" />
</head>
<body>
<referenceBlock name="head.additional">
<block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Text" name="typekit">
<arguments>
<argument name="text" xsi:type="string"><![CDATA[<script>try{Typekit.load({ async: true });}catch(e){}</script>]]></argument>
</arguments>
</block>
</referenceBlock>
</body>
</page>
I am running the latest Magento ( 1.9 ) with the Default theme and right now, in the top right region of the header i see the Account and CART buttons.
What i want to do is edit the Account button into something else however I spent the last 2 hours trying to find the place where I can edit it.
Can you please guide me in the right direction ?
You need to navigate to your theme's app layout directory, for example;
root/app/design/frontend/base/default/layout
The top links are declared as a position in the template in the xml and can be added to by the different extensions. The account link is defined in customer.xml. If you search that file for "top.links" you will find it;
<!-- Mage_Customer -->
<reference name="top.links">
<action method="addLink" translate="label title" module="customer"><label>My Account</label><url helper="customer/getAccountUrl"/><title>My Account</title><prepare/><urlParams/><position>10</position></action>
</reference>
After you modify this, you will need to flush your cache for the changes to take effect.

I know, confusing title..
So basically I have an custom theme. The files I'm gonna talk about it located like below :
frontend/custom/default/layout/local.xml
frontend/custom/blue/layout/generallayout.xml
In local.xml, I have added a tab like this
<action method="addTab" translate="title" module="tag"><alias>product.tags</alias><title>Product Tags</title><block>tag/product_list</block><template>tag/list.phtml</template></action>
Now I wanna remove this tab in blue/generallayout.xml. So I added :
<catalog_product_view>
<reference name="product.info.tabs">
<action method="unsetChild"><name>product.tags</name></action>
</reference>
</catalog_product_view>
The problem is, this is not working cause I think layout.xml renders after generallayout.xml. So there isnt anything to remove while in generallayout.xml. How I achieve removing the tab ?
I'm sure there isnt anything wrong with what I wrote cause I copied the second snipped to local.xml and I successfully added then removed the tab.
For reference, I couldn't resolve this with this method.
I looked at the magento's core php files and saw that 'local.xml' always renders last. No way to change it without overwriting the core files.
I'm trying to make a search bar appear and I can't.
Not only in the header but also in any page if I try to paste the basic search bar code, nothing will appear, can someone tell me where should I check to see if I'm missing any code?
in that case, what code and where should I add to finally be able to integrate a search bar in my header / home page or wherever?
{{block type="core/template" name="top.search" as="topSearch" template="catalogsearch/form.mini.phtml"}}
Note: this code didn't work in any page whatsoever
Also, for some reason I seem to be missing a lot of options from plugins and magento itself (Look at hot the banner slider only has one option and when I try to edit a Slider I also get alot less options than what the plugin has to offer)

Check your store view in System>Configuration>Design>Themes and see what it says there as the templates and layout name. (not to be confused with system>design). Make sure it says default/modern or just modern.
You should try adding the search element via xml in a custom layout file. For that create a local.xml file in your theme layout folder and paste following code for adding the search bar to the header:
<reference name="head">
<block type="core/template" name="top.search" as="topSearch" template="catalogsearch/form.mini.phtml"/>
</reference>
Put that code under the layout/default xml tags, and don't forget to add addChildHtml('topSearch') to your .phtml head file.
I'm trying to update a magento theme (the theme name is blank_seo), and i'm trying to change the product page default template to 3 columns. I've tried updating the app/design/frontend/default/blank_seo/layout/catalog.xml file. but so far nothing is working.
The only solution that i've found is manually changing the 'Page Layout' dropbox to 3 columns. If anyone has a simpler/quicker way of doing this (or a reason why my editing of catalog.xml doesn't work), I'd be extremely thankful!
Just looking at the code I have, I have been able to do this without any issue, which part of the catalog.xml file are you changing? It should be the <catalog_product_view> element like so:
<catalog_product_view translate="label">
<label>Catalog Product View (Any)</label>
<!-- Mage_Catalog -->
<reference name="root">
<action method="setTemplate"><template>page/1column-productview.phtml</template></action>
</reference>
....
</catalog_product_view>
I have a custom template set up in my system for the product page, as you can see.
Also, make sure you refresh your cache and check your logs to ensure you are not missing any errors.
