I have downloaded Youama Ajax Login and Register magento extension.
Its working perfectly.But it has less fields in registration. I want to add more fields in the magento extension like phone no,pincode etc..how to edit magento extension?
Hello check below path & more fields.
app/design/frontend/base/default/template/youama/ajaxlogin/ajaxlogin.phtml
To keep extension more or less upgradeable and do some customization in same time you should copy key .phtml files to your theme folder and do customization over there.
For example copy
app/design/frontend/base/default/template/youama/ajaxlogin/ajaxlogin.phtml
to
app/design/frontend/default/{yourtheme}/template/youama/ajaxlogin/ajaxlogin.phtml
and edit it there (only files you want to edit).
On the other side blocks, models, helpers and controllers should be overridden if customization is needed. You can check overriding process in this article by one of my colleagues.

I am pretty new to Magento and am trying to understand how to create admin (backend) page. I have figured how to create/define the controller and action (along with editing the config.xml).
But now the next problem at hand is to display a simple form in that page. I understand that, I have an option to create blocks and mention the blocks in a layout.xml. But from what I figure is that layout.xml needs to be present in the theme folder. Which I can't do as my magento extension will be installed and I have no access to the user's system.
So the doubt is. How to display a simple from in a backend (admin) page
without having to make any changes to the theme's layout ?
For the admin panel module you don't need to mention the block in the layout.xml of your theme, you only need it to be defined in config.xml file in your "app/code/local///etc/" and a layout file is created in "app/design/adminhtml/default/default/".inside the Block create a folder named "Adminhtml" inside it your can create your form.

I'm new to joomla and have got a problem with a website.
I need to modify a view and I've been told it is in
http://www.example.com/index.php?option=com_user&view=register&Itemid=68
It has a registration form and i need to modify its field. I've access to FTP only. I need to know where are these files to modify the registration form. If one can describe the meaning of this url structure then it would be very helpful.
You will find the template files in /components/com_user/views/register/tmpl.
However, you should create an html/com_user folder in your template directory with a copy of those files and use a template override ("never" edit core files).
Here are a couple resources that will point you in the right direction:
http://docs.joomla.org/J2.5:Developing_a_MVC_Component/Introduction
http://docs.joomla.org/How_to_override_the_component_mvc_from_the_Joomla!_core
com_user means use the user component register view.
Itemid 68 refers to the id of the menu item it is linked from.
You don't want to directly modify any joomla files.
If you want to add a field to registration activate the user plugin or create your own user plugin along the same design but with the fields you want.
It is advisable not to modify the core files directly, they will get overridden whenever the Joomla is updated.
However what you are looking for is available at components\com_users\models\forms\registration.xml file. you can change the default fields of the registration form in this file.
If you would like to add additional fields to registration form, there is a better way:

I installed an extension to add custom fields to customer registration form.I want to add some option value in dropdown menu box of input validation in backend admin page..could you plz tell me the path of the folder where can I find the phtml file which is responsible for that part ?
-Thanks.
The files you are looking for are in:
app/design/adminhtml/default/default/template
But just changing the .phtml file won't do the job. The customer model itself should be extended to provide for your extra field. Therefore i highly recommend you to write a module for this instead of altering Magento core code. This to make sure that you can still use updates in the future.
Writing such an module requires more in depth knowledge of Magento. For more information on custom adminhtml see here.
For information on extending the core functionality look here.
If you don't feel like programming this all yourself take a look at customer attribute modules on Magento Connect.
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.
P.S. Magento theme fallbacks
P.P.S. Try this tutorial or google another one
P.P.P.S. I hope, you got the answer for your question.
When you add customer attributes, Magento's admin dashboard for customer's automatically generates the relative form element for that new attribute.
Is there a way to do the same thing on the front end via a controller in a module?
nope, the frontend customer fields are hard coded, check out the phtml inside customer/form to see it.
What are you trying to achieve? Customer attributes are displayed on the form if "Show on frontend" is enabled. However those fields aren't saved from frontend by default. You need to extend fieldsets in your module for that, see config.xml in core Mage/Customer module
EDIT: actually that is true for enterprise edition, on CE you have to edit register.phtml (preferably by making a copy in your theme)
