Hide discount code section in cart - magento

I am writing a Magento Extension that is trying to hide the Discount Code section on the checkout cart page. I wrote the following code to replace the current cart.phtml with my custom template.
<layout version="0.1.0">
<checkout_cart_index>
<reference name="checkout.cart">
<action method="setTemplate">
<template>company/module/cart.phtml</template>
</action>
</reference>
</checkout_cart_index>
</layout>
Everything looked good until I realized it even overwrote the template the cart page uses for an empty cart. I have tried many combinations for switch the "checkout_cart_index"
name to the reference name but I cannot get it to just replace that template. I further investigated and found in the default layout it sets the cart values here:
<reference name="content">
<block type="checkout/cart" name="checkout.cart">
<action method="setCartTemplate"><value>checkout/cart.phtml</value></action>
<action method="setEmptyTemplate"><value>checkout/cart/noItems.phtml</value></action>
I tried again using "SetCartTemplate" but I cannot get it to display yet alone behave as I am intending. Any ideas?

In your layout update
<checkout_cart_index>
<reference name="checkout.cart">
<action method="setCartTemplate"><value>path/to/your/cart.phtml</value></action>
<action method="setEmptyTemplate"><value>path/to/your/noItems.phtml</value></action>
<action method="chooseTemplate"/>
</reference>
</checkout_cart_index>
chooseTemplate will choose the right template

Load external Javascript before skin Javascript in Magento

I'm trying to add the Google Maps Javascript API to my Magento module.
The problem I'm having is that the core/text block that I am including, that contains the external Javascript inclusion tag, only ever appears after all of the addJs actions.
This means the script I have in pvtl_stores.js that targets the google object doesn't work as the google object hasn't been initialized yet.
Here is my local.xml file:
<layout>
<default>
<reference name="head">
<block type="core/text" name="google.maps" before="root">
<action method="setText">
<text><![CDATA[<script src="//maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js"></script>]]></text>
</action>
</block>
<action method="addItem">
<type>skin_js</type>
<name>js/pvtl_stores.js</name>
</action>
</reference>
</default>
</layout>
Is there a way to have the core/text block load before the addJs actions?
By the way, if it isn't obvious by the question, I'm new to Magento programming!
upload you Js in root\js folder. And call this code in your app\design\frontend\base\default\template\page\html\head.phtml file at top.
<?php echo Mage::getBaseUrl(Mage_Core_Model_Store::URL_TYPE_JS)."/yourjs.js"; ?>
or just direct call that
<script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.11.2/jquery-ui.js"></script>
UPDATE
You have to download the js first then
go to app\design\frontend\rwd\default\layout page.xml (if you are using default theme otherwise go to yourtheme\default\layout) and you js here
<block type="page/html_head" name="head" as="head">
<action method="addJs">
<script>yourjs/yourjs.js</script>
</action>
<action method="addJs">
<script>prototype/prototype.js</script>
</action>

Changing the columns on Magento's "Contact Us" page

Is there a simple way to change the column settings on Magento's "Contact Us" page through the CMS? It seems that by default the "Contact Us" page is not listed among the other CMS pages. Do I need to override the settings via XML?
Thank you for your help!
First, determine the "layout handle" for the contact page. For u i guess it is "contacts_index_index"
U can find this in file app/design/frontend/your-package/your-theme/layout/local.xml or contact.xml
<contacts_index_index translate="label">
<label>Contact Us Form</label>
<reference name="root">
<action method="setTemplate"><template>page/2columns-right.phtml</template></action>
<action method="setHeaderTitle" translate="title" module="contacts"><title>Contact Us</title></action>
</reference>
<reference name="content">
<block type="core/template" name="contactForm" template="contacts/form.phtml"/>
</reference>
</contacts_index_index>
Change the setTemplate call to reference your template
<reference name="root">
<action method="setTemplate"><template>page/1column.phtml</template></action>
<action method="setHeaderTitle" translate="title" module="contacts"><title>Contact Us</title></action>
</reference>
Alternately, add the handle reference to your local.xml file. The local.xml file is applied last, so whatever goes in there "wins"
<layout>
<contacts_index_index>
<reference name="root">
<action method="setTemplate"><template>page/1column.phtml</template></action>
</reference>
</contacts_index_index>
</layout>
This is what worked for me:
Go to CMS > Manage Pages interface in the admin panel.
Create the contact page here and insert the following code:
<!– CONTACT FORM –>
{{block type="core/template" name="contactForm" form_action="/contacts/index/post" template="contacts/form.phtml"}}
<!– END OF CONTACT FORM –>
Click on the Design tab and change the layout to 1 column.

Magento set custom page title and description for sitemap pages

I am looking for a method to add custom page title and meta description to Magento defaults catalog/seo_sitemap/category/ & catalog/seo_sitemap/product/ pages.
I have done this before on the built-in contacts page by updating the contacts.xml file with:
<reference name="head">
   <action method="setDescription"><title>my description here</title></action>
<action method="setTitle"><title>My title here</title></action>
</reference>
This works absolutely fine. However, I currently do not know how I can apply this or a similar technique to the 2 pages I've outlined.
Do the same thing but apply it in the catalog.xml file. You could also set up a local.xml with the following:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout version="0.1.0">
<catalog_seo_sitemap_category translate="label">
<reference name="head">
<action method="setDescription" module="catalog"><title>Custom description here</title></action>
<action method="setTitle" module="catalog"><title>Custom Site Map here</title></action>
</reference>
</catalog_seo_sitemap_category>
</layout>
You can apply the same method to catalog/seo_sitemap/product/

Add "My Cart" to top.links magento in local.xml or checkout.xml?

Two parts to this question:
How can I add My Cart to either local.xml or checkout.xml? I have a custom template, that never had it called. Looking for where it is being removed, but not sure I am looking in the right place.
I have tried adding to local.xml
<reference name="root">
<reference name="top.links">
<action method="addCartLink"></action>
</reference>
</reference>
But it breaks magento. Basically I have a soft add to cart and want to pull the default magento "My Cart" to the header, so the ajax updates on page like it does in the default magento template.
2nd par - Where does the code for "My Cart" live to tweak it?
<reference name="top.links">
<block type="checkout/links" name="checkout_cart_link">
<action method="addCartLink"></action>
</block>
</reference>
You may have to clear your cache.
