I'm trying to edit the default core module named mod_weblinks to change how the list of weblinks within a category is shown.
The problem comes when I change the default.php file in modules/mod_weblinks/tmpl/ and I get no results when hit f5.
I also tried to copy and odify this file in template/my_template/html/mod_weblinks/ but same result.
I uninstalled and installed this module from joomla! control admin panel.
Any suggestion?
TIA
Ok, I found it, the problem is that I was modifying a module but using a component so I have change the code of the component (which is a bit more complex)

I built a custom theme for DNN several months ago using the Christoc templates for Visual Studio. I needed to make a small HTML adjustment today so I re-opened the solution and made the change but when I rebuilt the project, I get several build errors, presumably because it no longer recognizes my DNN dll:
The type or namespace name 'DotNetNuke' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
I checked my C:\path_to\dnndev.me\bin\DotNetNuke.dll and it's still there so I'm not sure why Visual Studio isn't seeing it.
When I built the skin originally, I was running DNN 9.1.1 but have since upgraded to 9.3.2. Could that be causing my issue?
I read elsewhere that I could be building on the incorrect version of .NET framework but I don't know what version to use for DNN 9.3.2 so I tried several different version with no change in results.
How can I solve this issue?
UPDATE:
Per the answer here, I rebuilt with .NET 4.7.2 and it did not solve my issue.
UPDATE 2:
Okay, so the small change I made was adding another layout page like the Home.ascx and Edit.ascx files that come with the template. If I remove the new layout files, the project builds fine.
What could I be doing wrong when adding a new layout?
What you read about the .Net framework version is correct. You need to 4.7.2.
The problem was a new layout I had created. I right clicked on the project and selected Add > New Item and chose Web Forms User Control. This was the wrong way to add a new layout.
I successfully added it by copy/pasting one of the template's pre-existing layouts and renaming it. The project builds fine now.
Ah, now I understand what went wrong. Adding a Web (Forms) User Control is not completely wrong, as a skin (or theme) is a kind of Web User Control, and has the same extension (.ascx).
What you have to do is deleting the code behind file (.ascx.vb or .ascx.cs), and change the first line of the ascx file to
<%# Control language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" Explicit="True" Inherits="DotNetNuke.UI.Skins.Skin" %>
(But copying another skin file is also a good solution as propably you have most of the references to the skin object already there)
I installed a new template for my joomla site but after that I have no access template manager. It only becomes a completely white page in Firefox and Opera says that "currently unable to handle the request." Is there any way to delete a template outside of the webadmin interface?
You can delete through your ftp client like filezilla. Open filezilla, login to your server and the delete the template. May be the template comes with some plugins or else how can just by installing it started showing error unless you use that template. Possibility is: i) You might have installed a template for older version. ii) You might have installed a plugin with the template that was autopublished. iii) You messed up some setting files.
I suggest you to open file manager, go to templates and then delete that particular template. Also when asking please ask providing all details like name of template, link of template etc.

The following code is not working
unset($doc->_styleSheets[JURI::root(true).'/media/mod_languages/css/template.css']);
thank you
The code is correct and I tested it, it's working fine.
Possibly you are running it in a plugin event after the head is rendered, or you have cached the page and the code is not really running.
In either case, try to put it at the component level, clear cache, and it should work
Update
to identify the component: turn SEF off, and look at the URL it shows as option=com_componentname;
to identify the module, simply rename the modules folder, and update the site; if it works, it's a module.
For plugins, rename the plugins/system and plugins/content first, then drill down until you spot it.
Alternatively, but much slower, you can turn modules and plugins on and off from the backend, until you find the culprit.
A variation which I've used with success in the past:
unset($doc->_styleSheets[$this->baseurl.'/media/mod_languages/css/template.css']);
Update
Here's an alternate method using a module override which should work for you.
if it doesn't already exist, create a new directory titled html in your template's folder, ie: /templates/your-template/html/
inside this, create an new mod_languages folder, ie /templates/your-template/html/mod_languages/
copy the file from joomla-site-root/modules/mod_languages/tmp/default.php to the folder above, ie /templates/your-template/html/mod_languages/default.php
open this file with a text editor and around line 12 look for the line where JHtml is loading the mod_languages CSS, and comment it out.
// JHtml::_('stylesheet', 'mod_languages/template.css', array(), true);
That's it, hopefully, this will do the trick for you.
Overriding Joomla core output using this method is safe and you won't loose your work with future Joomla updates.

Good luck!
I've successfully installed Fishpig's Magento WordPress Integration extension. I followed the instructions where you install via Magento Connect and had no problems. This is by the way all on the development server which does not have Caching or Compiling enabled.
The Magento cart is installed in the webroot directory and WordPress is in subdirectory "wp" as stated in Fishpig's instructions. The Full Integration blog path is /blog.
PROBLEM:
When I visit the blog's page it is not using the Magento theme. I even set it to use the same layout (same as CMS's homepage) We have a custom Magento theme. Maybe there is something we are doing incorrectly Magento theme wise for Fishpig's extension not to work. Screenshots to come eventually but the host (DataGram) is down due to the flooding Downtown. Should be back hopefully today.
To clarify... WordPress is using its own database. In the Shop's admin panel->WordPress tab I setup Full Integration and set the path to "wp" and the blog path is blog.
So, now if I visit for example... example.com you are in the shop and if you visit example.com/blog you are in the fully integrated blog.
Bottom line is it seems to be configured fine in the admin panel. I am not requesting the blog page from the wp directory (I.E: example.com/wp) but from the fully integrated page (example.com/blog).
Our problem could be similar to what this person is experiencing:
Magento - FishPig Integration - Not getting correct template for /blog
Have a great weekend all!

Huzzah looks like I got things working :-)
The culprit was that this file:
"app/design/frontend/default/eboost/layout/wordpress.xml"
^^ was pointing to the wrong template filename. Corrected and was good to go. Modified line was number 66.
Funny thing is that on the top of that XML file it states:
"
Option 1 - local.xml (recommended)
Create a file named local.xml in your custom theme's layout folder. You can then make changes to the layout there by
using the relevant layout handle. This allows you to leave this file intact and recieve new features
when upgrading the extension.
Option 2 - copy this file
Copy this file and it's contents to a new file in your custom theme's layout folder named wordpress.xml.
Each time you upgrade, you will need to check with your copy of the file and
the copy in app/design/frontend/base/default/layout/wordpress.xml for changes and merge any you find"
Now, as stated in my Original Posting I installed FishPig extension using their instructions: http://fishpig.co.uk/wordpress-integration/docs/installation-and-configuration.html
^^ Therefore I don't know why it is setup using Option 2. That wordpress.xml is in our theme's layout directory.

I feel I should also state the other changes I did even though it doesn't seem like it contributed to making it work. Just doing for completeness:
-- Renamed the subdirectory /wp to /wordpress and changed all references to dev.eboost.com/wp to dev.eboost.com/wordpress within the DataBase using http://interconnectit.com/124/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/
-- Removed .htaccess from /wordpress folder
So bottom line is looks like it is working normally. We are now set for working on redesign for site.

Have a look at this.

I also used Fishpig and it is working.
What do you mean by visiting the blog page? Do you request the blog page from the wordpress directory?
If so, it doesn't change its design.
You have to request the blog within your shop.
I have been asked to make a "one-off" change to the link on the homepage of a website that is running Joomla. The trouble is I am not familiar with Joomla administration. I was hoping it might be similar to WordPress, where I might have to modify a template file, however this does not seem to be the case.
Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to change the content of a module on the home page of a Joomla site? When I view the module settings in the Joomla admin there does not appear to be any content to edit, just menus and meta data. Thank you.
Every module has its own functionality so it depends on what module you are trying to modify.
You might want to look at template overrides. By doing a template override you can modify a module output without hacking the core code of the module.
So in the case of a module, you should look into your joomla installation for your module. If your module is called mod_stackoverflow for example, you should look for
PATH_TO_JOOMLA/modules/mod_stackoverflow/
Next you should look for the template file you want to modify. If you want to modify the default template of the module and if the output of your module can be overriden, you should look for the default.php file like so:
PATH_TO_JOOMLA/modules/mod_stackoverflow/tmpl/default.php
At this point you should copy the file into your template folder following this structure:
TEMPLATE_NAME/html/mod_stackoverflow/default.php
By placing this file in your template folder, Joomla will use this file (instead of the one in the module folder) to output the module content. Now you can edit this file as you like.
Hope this helps.
Check the homepage content is an article or module . If it was article you just go to the following path.
Joomla administrator->Contents->Featured Articles->
here you can find the home page article and modify it by click on article title.
If it was module you just go Joomla administrator-> Components->Module Manager
here you first find which module is enabled in homepage. Then you can edit the module contents.
