Magento multistore default settings - magento

I have a problem (suddenly) with the defaults settings for a product. We have a multistore setup with several languages. When we create a new product, we put in alle relevant data for the product.
When we switch to another store view, all the "Use Default Value" checkboxes are unchecked.
Normally they should be checked by default, now it is unchecked by default?
We only need to change some things to another language, most things should keep the default setting.
This started a few days ago, the only thing we changed on the setup during that time is adding some extra modules or emptyd some log tables in the database?
Does anyone have any clue where I can correct this behaviour and have all the "Use Default Value" checkboxes checked by default again?

be sure that in file app/design/adminhtml/default/default/template/catalog/form/renderer/fieldset/element.phtml or (find the same file in your custom admin theme if You use it) in line 55 input has attribute checked="checked".
Also check in Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Catalog_Form_Renderer_Fieldset_Element method usedDefault() and see you error logs.

Magento - System Config menu option empty after adding customized payment method

I see all drop down options are gone from my System/Configuration items after I have added my customized payment method, even I removed this new payment method. Any idea what's wrong and how to recover it?
You might need to clear the cache completely (empty magento/var/cache/ folder if needed) and/or log out and back in again for all changes to take effect in the backend.

add custom image field for custom options in magento

I am working on magento 1.9 version.I want to add a custom image field in drop down of custom options.
I added a text field using following guide
http://magento.ikantam.com/qa/how-add-custom-attributes-custom-options
which is working fine.but when I add a file field then it shows in admin but not save image field value in database.
please help me to solve this.
Neeraj,
Did you specifically click "flush cache storage" By following this guide and adding new tables directly to the database, Magento already has this record in cache. By flushing cache storage, you will allow magento to recognize the new structure and be able to save the record. I have accidentally forgotten to do this quite a few times and you end up with the inability to save a record even though your structure is there.

Magento PayPal Express not showing

I have a pretty standard Magento installation (Magento ver. 1.7.0.2) and I have enabled PayPal Express settings (Including API username. password & Signature all filled in). I have set the default theme to blank so that it doesn't use any of my template files but the button is not showing on any pages (product, basket or checkout - These options are set to show in the admin).
So even with the default Magento theme non of the paypal buttons show up.
Anyone seen this before? Can anyone shed any light on this?
Thanks
edit p.s. Mage_Paypal & Mage_PaypalUk both enabled in Advanced.
its seems like you have enabled paypal with another configuration scope ..Not in Default configuration scope or may be you have disabled paypal exp in your current configuration scope. It will override Default configuration scope even you enabled in Default configuration scope. Make sure about this..
Just go to your database. open core_config_data table enable to view all datas with one page. Here you can see all your paypal configs. If you see any paypal configs with websites or something not like default in scope field then you have configured paypal for your current configuration scope.
Update :
consider your current config scope is website. In your core_config_data table set value to "1" for this payment/paypal_express/active for only the other config scopes (website) not the default. Just have a look at the following image. Then check again..It should be work now..!

Magento extension for single store in multi website

My client bought an extension named Extendware Cart Reminder for a single store. It worked well before creating a another new store for wholesale. He needs that extension for only one store, not for wholesale. But now that extension is not working on both. Is it possible to activate it for only one store? If yes, where should I edit?
You could dig into the code and try to customize it a little bit.
Add another configuration option on storeview level in the "General" tab of the extension with the values "enabled/disabled".
Then check at the important places which value is set for the current store view. If it is set to enabled let it execute the original code, if it is set to disabled, do nothing.
As I don't know the code of that extension I can't provide more detailed information. Possibly there is an observer or something where you could check for this configuration value.

Magento Multi Store themes calling same login.phtml file

I'm new to magento. Currently i'm developing two ecommerce sites using multi-store option in magento. Both the sites are 90% over, last night when i planned to customize the login page i was shocked. The reason is the changes made in first store login page also reflecting in second store also. The login page is curently calling from
frontend/default/default/template/persistent/customer/form/login.phtml
Is it possible to give any custom login page? PLz guide me magento experts......
Please update your post with your frontend/ folder structure down to each theme template folder. It might be that you don't have a copy of login.phtml in the second theme. Moreover you should follow templates best practices as:
Always create for a new shop different packaga. So not
frontend/default
but
frontend/yourcustompackage
Always have default theme left as much untouched, as possible. So in the
frontend/package/default
Should be some basic changes and rules of your package. It means for example in the putting reset.css for all of your themes. Or something like this.
As for me, each store view should have own theme. So, for example, storeview1
frontend/package/storeview1/
There you copy and change files specific for this theme. So, for example, in default you might have login.phtml. But you want storeview1 to have another login.phtml and in storeview2 it should be the same as in default. Therefore you copy the login.phtml from default to storeview1 and change it there. Don't forget to change package and theme in System->Configuration->Design. Package should be change for whole shop and theme should be specified for every store view or left untouched for default.
