I can not edit metadata on Joomla CMS. Where do si located the metadata file , the one who displays information on the description html meta tag ?
I need to edit by hand until discobver what is wrong.
Thank's in advance
Joomla is a database driven CMS, so metadata for articles, modules etc is stored in the database with the content of the article etc.
The only other meta data is the Global site metadata and that is stored in the configuration.php. The easiest way to change that is via the Site menu and the Global Configuration menu item (in Joomla! 2.5 it's in the Site tab of the Global Configuration).
It is not advisable to edit configuration.php directly as a single character can break the configuration file and take the website down.
If you really must edit configuration.php be aware that Joomla sets it to 444 permission after every change, i.e. read only or to to put it another way unwriteable. Using your websites control panel (cPanel or similar) you will have to change it to be writeable before you open it to make changes.
Don't forget to change it back.
Joomla's recommended permisions are:
Files should be 644 and
Directories should be 755
Joomla! also has an article on Verifying permissions

I have an e-shop made with Joomla - Virtuemart.
The issue is that, at the first page, the website starts to open after 20-30seconds you hit the URL.
After discussing it with my hosting provider, they found that index.php sends for about 20s requests at the file :
httpdocs/cache/convertECB/86b44edeb1436781d050e4862dd10353-cache-convertECB-bf2c8f06ab151915cd5d7bbef20b70dd.php
Even if i manually delete it, joomla recreates the file and continue to be slow.
In global configuration cache is off.
Any idea, from what is this file coming from and how should i handle the situation?
UPDATE - CONTENT OF THE PHP FILE
<?php die("Access Denied");?>

ECB is virtuemart currency conversion rates file. That file is downloaded 3 to 4 times daily depending on your settings. It is in cache ditetory and updated with new file names.
EDIT
You have to uninstall the module as by disabling it will still download xml conversion file. Login to administrator and then go to Control panel, Extensions - Install/Uninstall. Search and select "mod_virtuemart_currencies" now click on the uninstall button at the top.
It seems that you have more than one currency (maybe you have one product priced with another currency - once this is the case, the ECB will automatically be triggered). In any case, the fact that it's waiting 20-30 seconds means that it's timing out on something. Maybe it's trying to open a URL that has the IP of your website banned (this is very possible, and we had the exact scenario with one of our clients before).
If you can provide us with the contents of the cache file that is being called by your index.php file, maybe we can be of more help.
I am creating a website using Joomla 3 CMS. I have a requirement from my client that i need to change the existing page url extension from .html to .htm. As this website is redesign of a existing website the old links have .htm extension.
Open ../libraries/cms/router/site.php
Go to line number 144
And change
if ($format = $uri->getVar('format', 'html'))
to
if ($format = $uri->getVar('format', 'htm'))
I hope that helps
If you don't want to edit core files, and that is certainly not advised for sake of future upgrades. Your best solution is using a custom component for managing Joomla's SEF URLs, for example: sh404SEF (Paid) or JoomSEF (Free).
Check out http://extensions.joomla.org/category/site-management/sef for others.
Never ever edit Joomla Core files, otherwise when you upgrade Joomla, all your changes will be gone.
As #Alexxandar said; use SEO/SEF components for your needs. I recommend to use MijoSEF (Free or Paid)
Go to global configuration and remove the l from the suffix.
THis is a Joomla configuration question and a standard joomla configuration (not programming) option.
Now the one thing you will have to worry about is that if there are any old links to the htm pages. FOr this you will probably want to use the built in redirect component. Turn on the redirect plugin and then if you have a small number of pages you can just set up the redirection by hand. If you have more pages you may want to write the sql to create a bunch of redirects. Or you might want to make your own plugin to permanently redirect the old to the new.
I am working on Magento and trying to make some changes on one of the .phtml files. But my changes never reflect on the web site. I have tried the following things:
Clear Magento cache and delete cache storage
Open the path hint and make sure I am editing the correct file
Go to magento admin panel, System->Configuration->Design, and make sure templates, skin, layout and default folders are correct.
None of the above action worked. Is there anything else that I could do?
Thanks a lot.
Screen shot
First thing you would want to check is the cache. System > Cache Management. Disable the Layout and Blocks HTML output caches and refresh the frontend page where you've put your changes.
If cache isn't the problem there is a way to find out which template is rendered in a specific location because you may not be editing the correct file.
Go to System > Configuration, select your website from top left Current Configuration Scope, then go to Developer > Debug and set Template Path Hints to Yes.
After this, save your config and refresh the page where you want to modify the .phtml.
If you are working on a live environment make sure not everybody will be able to see the template paths by putting your IP in the Allowed IPs input from Developer Client Restrictions.
After you are finished with this re-enable the cache.
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've copied an existing joomla site from one domain to another, but when I hit the menu items it redirects to the old domain articles. Where is the setting to change this?
Thanks
Narkoz's answer isn't correct, there isn't an option to set your site domain in the joomla backend.
The problem isn't that joomla doesn't know your site URL, it gets that from you server, but rather the menu links are probably hard coded. Check your menu links in the backend and make sure the point to an "internal" link of some kind.
Set $live_site variable in your configuration.php file by adding this line:
$live_site = "http://www.example.com";
Export the database to SQL file then open it with a text editor and do a search/replace
Search : old-site-url.com
and replace it by : new-site-url.com
Save your file and import it to the database.
