Clone AdsManager Component in Joomla - joomla

I have installed in my joomla website a component: "Adsmanager"; which is a component to show classified Ads.
Now I want to add to my website a new category with Classified Ads as well but I need different fields and different configuration so I can not use the same component ( I emailed the CEO of the component and he told me I needed to create a copy AdsManager2 )
Well, I've been trying by renaming the files and I was able to install an Adsmanager2 but it didn't work.
What files would I need to rename?? Have anyone done this before?? Do you think there could be a better solution for my issue??
Thanks in advance.

Joomla - Remove product image zoom function

I am relatively new here but am looking forward to the support and knowledge i can gain here.
I have recently taken over a Joomla site that has a custom shopping cart which as far as i can tell is called dnaCatalog. I have tried to Google it but came up nothing but the actual dna workings of Joomla and other such things.
What i would like to achieve is to remove the image zoom from the product images in the shopping cart. I have searched the admin back-end through the plugins and modules but cant find any reference to any form of image zoom so I am guessing its hardcoded into the theme or catalog.
I currently have the site on a testing server here... http://geekdimm.com/ragland-current.
I have just updated it to the current version of Joomla 3.6.5
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks in advance.
The zoom function is coded as a JQuery add on, you will find it at templates/quasar/js/jquery.loupe.min.js. The optimal way to solve this is to find the calls to the script above and remove them (be careful what you remove, you should know what you doing when editing the core files).
Alternatively look for the class called loupe which are associated to your images, this gives your images the zoom functionality.
The easiest (but dirtiest) way to solve this is to go to your templates css file
templates/quasar/css/template.css and on line 7127 add the CSS display:none!important;

Prestashop multistore problems when installing second theme

I have a problem while installing the second theme in a Prestashop multi-shop enviroment.
I've correctly created the second shop (with a different domain) but when I try to install a new theme, I get a blank page with only the store logo.
I've tried many combinations:
- create the second shop with or without share the modules
- install the theme before and after creating the second shop
- install the second theme with or without overriding the previous modules
- Googling a lot ;)
The most succesfull test was when I created a new shop without sharing the modules data + installing the second theme without overriding the module.
The result was a styled empty page (with global.css loaded correctly) but without any content inside.
Moreover all the new-theme's modules where not-installed and not-attached to any hooks
:(
Please, can anyone point me in the right direction to install a Prestashop multishop with two different themes?
Thanks a lot!
I had a similar problem. I've noticed that if the two themes are from the same supplier gives such problems, because the names of the classes and methods are usually the same. the solution is to rename classes and methods, or use another theme from another provider.

To get Virtuemart to produce a custom downloadable PDF/certificate with the buyer's details on it

I am new to joomla and I have a problem:
The challenge is to get Virtuemart to produce a custom downloadable
PDF/certificate with the buyer's details on it.
Virtuemart already have a download after paying ability, but not for
custom created files/pdfs.
Joomla can also already create pdfs from front-end files, so I assume
it is possible to achieve this.
Any suggestions as to how I should go about this will be very much appreciated.
Thank you
I would package this in a custom component, basically you need to:
create a link in Virtuemart that links to the component relating to the order_item
check that order_item is paid
produce the PDF by outputting some page content and putting it through the PDF output of Joomla
I haven't used Joomla's PDF output, it may be just as easy to use FPDF, rosPDF or you could use an existing PDF by installing pdftk (on a VM or dedicated server only)

How can i integrate joomla media selector into a custom component

I'm writing a custom component for joomla 1.5 and i been searching for a way to integrate
com_media image selector into it.
All i want, is to have a functionality like, the image selection in the create article page.
Anyone knows how to do this?
Is there an API in joomla to do this, or do i have to see how is done in com_content an start
form there?
You can use a select box with image preview like the one used for the Sections and Categories thumbnails. This is much easier to integrate though images must come from single directory.
See the com_sections and com_content files in you Joomla Administrators components directory.
Also try posting this in the Joomla Forums.
