How to add theme to magento? - magento

I have downloaded a theme in my system. I need to install this theme in magento.
How to do it?
I have installed theme using magento connect but how to do it for system saved in local files?

If you have zip file , You can extract the downloaded theme into this location
"magento\app\design\frontend\default\yourtheme"
If you used the Magento Extension Login as admin
System --> Magento Connect --> Magento Connect Manager
Given the Login Details
For Example : Hellowired theme
http://connect20.magentocommerce.com/community/HelloWired_Free_Theme_1_4
After Installation Your can see the source code (downloaded/installed) available in your local system
To enable your theme in FrontEnd
System --> Manage stores -->Create Store view --> code (yourtheme)
May be it will helps you.

change package layout with file xml in magento

i'm using magento 1.9.2
in the admin page i config package for my frontend is: rwd
Now i'm building up a module called: mycustom
when the customer go to mydomain.com/mycustom the package name is "mypackage" not rwd package
how to make it
thanks for reading
Yes, You can do it. The quick and ugly way is to check the current customer's group and then set the theme programatically:
Mage::getDesign()->setArea('frontend')
->setPackageName('your_package')
->setTheme('your_theme');
You can see the following article to more understanding

I have created a module using ultimate module creator,but it is not showing on the magento backend

I have created a module using ultimate module creator,but it is not showing on the magento
back end.
I have cleared the magento cache and done the re-indexing also
i have checked in the file,its present in the local folder and is enabled
but still not showing in backend
Check all the config file (i.e. config.xml) and ACL permissions (in adminhtml.xml) if you are not able to see anything in admin panel.

Magento: can diffrent magento websites installations use same Database?

I intially had an instance of magento installed that was using a databse, then i intalled another intance of Magento Using the same database, but the problem that occured is that now my old website is getting redirected to new website.
I had configured my old Website's url from localhost to somethingElse.
So, is there a method such that both the websites use the same Database. If so then how to configure it to do so?
You don't need to install another Magento in order to create a new Website, Magento already supports multiple websites on the same instance.
Here is a detailed explanation on Magento websites,stores and store views: http://www.magentocommerce.com/knowledge-base/entry/overview-how-multiple-websites-stores-work/

Rewrite Magento Admin URL /index.php/admin -> /admin

I am using Magento 1.7.0.2
My Store admin URL is for example: http://www.mydomain.com/index.php/admin
I want to Rewrite this URL as : http://www.mydomain.com/admin
I have also tried "Admin Rewrites" Magento Extension, But it couldn't Help.
Currently I can't work directly in live website as it may lead to big trouble, So I am working in LOCALHOST now.
How Can I Achieve this ?
Thanks.
I got my solution from this following Blog Link:
Magento Admin URL Rewrite - Set /index.php/admin to /admin (Javascript required)
Admin Rewrites (Magento Extension)
The just linked blog-post is referencing and explaining the usage of a Magento Extension called Admin Rewrites (Magento Extension).
The extension itself is available on Github and can be installed via Magento Composer Installer and/or Modman:
https://github.com/clockworkgeek/Magento-Admin-Rewrites
Alternatively it is also listed in Magento Conect (Magento Conect 2.0 Key).
Another method of doing this does involve modifying a core Magento file (which is a big no, no for upgrading purposes) but works all the same: http://www.code007.ro/magento-how-to-remove-index-php-from-admin-url/

Submit it to Magento Commerce (Login to magentocommerce.com and submit your packaged extension)
