magento mutiple shipping address not displaying on front end - magento

I am working on an existing magento project. Previous development team used custom design. I have enabled multiple shipping address from admin side, and cleared all cache. But am not able to see multiple address option in checkout page.

Since you have custom design, if the previous development team didn't override the default magento theme, you can switch to it from System > Configuration > General > Design
If they have written their changes directly into the default theme, then you can just rename the base/default (from design and skin) into something like custom/default and copy/paste the base/default from a Magento archive matching your version.
This way you can see if shipping to multiple addresses works or not. If it works then it means it was removed from the custom design - you have to check the design/skin files.
If it doesn't work then either you didn't configure something, or the code was overriden you have to check files under app/code/local (code/community or worse case code/core) .

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.

Magento Multiple Store Template Change

I have two stores under one domain, which is the full site the other is mobile site, I set different templates to them. But for some reason, the mobile site still uses the full site template. I doubled checked database, and the templates have been correctly set.
Any ideas?
Have you activated different themes for different store.
Go to System->configuration->design
and then chose your package (from Current Configuration Scope) and add different themes for both packages

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.

Magento Checkout Page content (not in CMS)

Can someone please explain the Magento directory structure in relation to URL? I'm using the community version I believe.
So I had someone ask me to update some content on a magento checkout page. I'm not familiar with the framework that much so trying to figure out the file/folder structure has been a challenge for me. That said, the checkout is located on http://domain.com/magento/checkout/onepage/
The only thing I'm trying to update is some "terms" that are showing up in the checkout tab, which I can't seem to find through the Magento CMS anywhere (pages, terms, etc), and the other thing I'm trying to add is the coupon code field display, which I checked (at least what I think) were the corresponding XML and PHTML files and the code isn't commented out for the coupon code, so I suspect my problem is with the fact that I'm just not looking in the right project folder/file, or there's some kind of inheritance from default that I'm missing.
Step 1 to debug this is to enable template path hints from the admin HTML console. This will show you what template files are being loaded. From there you should be able to resolve your problem.
System -> Configuration -> Developer -> Advanced -> Template hints
However I've looked at my local install of CE and on the one page checkout don't see any reference to terms. Perhaps this is an extra block being inserted?
Applies to all versions of Magento
Magento path hints
If you enable Template Path Hints on a site and refresh the cache, ALL site visitors will see the hints.
To avoid this, put you external ip address into:
System -> Configuration -> Developer -> Developer Client Restrictions -> Allowed IPs (comma separated)
Example: goto http://www.whatismyip.com/ and note down your ip address (for example 103.167.139.74). Enter the ip into the field and save.
Doing this will only show the path hints to visitors from the above mentioned ip address.
Path to template files
This will depend on the theme used. Let's pretend you're using the default magento theme on community edition. Then you will find all of the templates at app/design/frontend/base/default/template/checkout/
Checkout parts live in app/design/frontend/base/default/template/checkout/onepage
Magento Path hints for sure or if you can invest a few bucks buy commerce Bug 2. Now if this is your first time working with magento I strongly advice you to backup your database, copy all the files from your theme and set a development enviroment. Other thing you should do is to disable the cache and tell magento to display erros while workin (check your index.php ini_set('display_errors', 1);}

Magento Related Products Sidebar

In Magento I took and duplicated a theme and made a few changes to the second one. Called it recipes, removed the price, etc. All worked out fine except! When I add a related product it shows up and says "other featured products". This is what the old theme said.
After some research i am seeing it is pulling this file from the "app/design/frontend/base/template/catalog/product/list folder instead of the theme folder ?

Turn on template/path hints in your administration area:
System -> Config / Advanced -> Developer
This will show you exactly which template and block it belongs to. The product list template you are referring to just renders the products, it's possible the theme does not also include the header in that file.
Alternatively, a quick grep (or search via IDE if you are on Windows) for 'Other Featured Products' is a good solution, since that should be a fairly unique string.
