I want to modify template for News Feed so it looks better.
I'm unable to find Which folder/folders is/are used to Create News feed IN PHPFOX since it contains almost 7000 files.
Can any one help me in finding folder/folders for NewsFeed Template? This will very-2 appreciated.
I'm using PHPFOX v 3.7.2.
These folders FILE, INCLUDE, INSTALL, MODULE, STATIC, THEME are there.
Which one is used and inside this folder which folder is used.
The path is: \www\yourfoldername\module\feed\
Inside this folder are the files that are needed for the news feeds for editing.

I have a real noob Magento question. I'm helping a friend change the template their store is using but they are worried about losing the functionality of some of their extensions such as ajaxsearch. They don't know if it's actually an extension or part of the template. I can't seem to figure out if some of the extensions are built into the theme or if they are completely separate extensions. Is there an easy way to tell?
To give an example the ajaxsearch JS file's path seems to in the template path e.g http://www.example.com/skin/frontend/default/templatename/js/ajaxsearch.js
and if I go to system > configuration I can see it listed in the sidebar under Templates-Master (which I think is a brand name). In this case is this an extension and is this how file paths work for extensions? The fact that skin is in the file path is throwing me off.
Thanks!
Fast way:
Each Magento extension provided as archive (.tgz). Unpack it to some folder outside Magento and check have it next path or not:
unpacked_folder/skin/frontend/default/templatename/js/ajaxsearch.js
(another trick is look in the first lines of ajaxsearch.js file, authors often write extension or theme names in it).
Long way:
Find where is this file included on page. Search for 'ajaxsearch.js' in xml files placed in app/design/frontend/default/templatename/layout/
if not found, try to search in app/design/frontend/default/default/layout/ etc.
For example you find it in somefile.xml
Try to find which extension include this file. For doing this search 'somefile.xml' in config.xml files in local and community pools:
app/code/local/some/extension1/etc/config.xml
app/code/local/some/extension2/etc/config.xml
app/code/community/some/extensionN/etc/config.xml
etc
If you found it in ...some/extensionX/etc/config.xml - this mean what ajaxsearch.js belongs to some_extensionX extension. If not found - it belongs to theme.
I have a client that want's me to make a change to her OTHER site. The other site was built using Dreamweaver.
I guess (I don't build using Dreamweaver) the site pages are being controlled by the template file EXCEPT for the content that is specific to the page.
So I need to change the navigation items.
I found a folder called templates and in that folder is the template.dwt file. I tried copying that file to my desktop, then making the change and uploading back to the ftp site. Of course that had no effect on the nav items. My guess is the file on my desktop does not know to update the other pages as it doesn't know where those pages are.
So how do I go about making the changes to the files on the ftp site using the DWT file?
Do I have to download ALL the html files and the DWT files and somehow create a relationship so when I make the change to the DWT file it updates all the pages on my desktop THEN re-upload all those files back to the ftp site?
Thanks
My guess is that you already figured this out, but just to be sure. You're question is right, the DW template works by when the template is modified (in DW) then you can update all the pages that are linked to it.
If you take the template out of DW and just modify and upload that alone, then nothing will happen to the other pages. So yea, if you know a way to create a link between the template and the other files outside of DW, then that is what you need to do. The other option is using DW and modify the template and then update the other pages, which is done in a semi-automatic way. Semi-automatic, meaning that DW gives the option to update the files either once you save the template or you can save the template and update the files later using DW.
And your guess is correct, the template modifies areas that are not specific to a page. Usually, this is done by creating Editable Regions in the template. Those regions are excluded from change when the template is modified.
You have to create a project in DW and put inside all the files that are "linked" with the template. They usually have tags inside that refer to the template.
Make sure that you keep the same file and folder distribution that the original had. If not, you could have a mess with relative links.
Then, with your template also in the project, open and modify it.
When you save the template, DW will ask you for scan and update related files, if you are lucky it will find and update all of them.
I am new to cs-cart and
I am trying to use hooks in cs-cart. I had gone through some cs-cart website but not getting proper answer. Suppose if i want to override footer.tpl file with new content then how can i do it using hooks. Just tell me the steps what code to write in index.tpl file and where to keep new footer.tpl file.
I'd suggest you to check this brief guide: http://docs.cs-cart.com/hooks.
Assuming you're on a version 4.x.x:
You don't need to edit anything in index.tpl, just take note of the name of the hook you want to use (I suppose you want to use this one {hook name="index:footer"})
Write your new template and give it the name footer.[override/pre/post].tpl
Save this new .tpl file in themes/[your_theme_name]/templates/addons/my_changes/hooks/index (maybe you need to create such directories in your folders tree)
Make sure you have the "my changes" addon installed and active. You can check it through your admin area of the store.
And that's it, it should work.
Notes:
I've seen no standard "footer.tpl" file in version 4.x.x., so the above instructions work, but they only append content at the end of the page. Customization of such page area can be done via the layout and theme editor on the admin area of the store.
The naming algorithm mentioned on the documentation of cs-cart is for
version 3.x.x. Since version 4.x.x. the folders names have varied.
You should replace skins/[skin name]/[admin|customer] for
design/themes/[your_theme_name]/templates
I have installed phpFox and I have HTML( only html,css,js ) template. I want to change to my own html template instead of default template! I could to do this task! Please help me to change default template to my own html template. phpFox 3.3.0
Go to your admin area.
Then
Create a new theme here.
http://yousite.com/index.php?do=/admincp/theme/add/
Now create a new style here and select your theme
http://yousite.com/index.php?do=/admincp/theme/style/add/
add a new style here
Now go to folder
yoursite/theme/frontend/
Copy cosmic folder and rename it with the name which you had given in admin while creating style.
Also rename folder inside this folder cosmic to new folder name.
Now you can change the html
yourfolder/template/template.html.php
You can also change the CSS
frontend\yourfolder\style\yourfolder\css\custom.css
Activate your theme
http://yousite.com/index.php?do=/admincp/theme/
And make your theme default
Hope this will helps you.
Firstly, you tell us what exactly you want to modify or change. For instance if you want to change user profile head information, you should find the related template file from module "user".
Anyway before doing it I suggest you to backup the original files.
If you want just to create a template with new styles, then do as KESHU VAT's way.
I can't find a answer for this, I want to know what is the best way to have an alternative layouts for articles in Joomla.
If I understand you correctly you are looking for a way to create additional Alternative Layouts for articles. Under parameter tab "Article Options":
If that is the case, its very close to the other provided answers here. Its just that you got to rename the copied default.php file to something else. If you rename it to custom.php it will end up with the text "custom" like the image above.
Here goes my shot for a step by step:
Find the default layout file(s). You could use the ones provided by the com_content component. They can be found at components/com_content/views/article/tmpl. Copy both default.php and default_links.php.
Now you need to rename and copy the file(s) into a template. The target template can be any of the installed templates. Using beez_20 the new path for the copied file(s) should be templates/beez_20/html/com_content/article/custom.php and templates/beez_20/html/com_content/article/custom_links.php.
Goto to edit article using the backend. Expand the Article Options tab and find Alternative Layout. Select your new layout.
Your template might already provide a article override. If so, you might want to use the files of that template instead (instead of the ones in step 1). So if you are using beez_20, you could copy templates/beez_20/html/com_content/article/default.php and templates/beez_20/html/com_content/article/default_links.php.

Using Joomla’s Template and Layout Override
Layout overrides in Joomla 1.6
The best way to do this would either to install another content component - such as k2 which is highly customizable. Or any other content component on JED.
Alternatively you could create a template override on the existing Joomla Template. This is preferable to editing the files directly in com_content component as the template overrides will never be overwritten whereas the core files will be in any Joomla Updates. I should add, hopefully unnecessarily that this requires Joomla 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 2.5 or 3.0 (although this is still in beta as of present). So make sure you're not using 1.0.
To create an alternative layout for the built in articles component the best way to do it is probably to create a template over-ride.
See this article on docs.joomla.org on "How to override the output from the Joomla! core"
Creating an alternative for an article layout is pretty straight forward. You can achieve this by using the core layout override with your published template(s).
First you want to get/copy the core article layout file:
components/com_content/views/article/tmpl/default.php
Then place it into your published template:
templates/YOURTEMPLATE/html/com_content/article/default.php
If the template you are using doesn't have the html folder, then you will have to create that folder and each folder to make that path correct.
Once you have this in place, all you need to do is make changes to that default.php file you have just place in the template and that is it!
