I'm working in Magento 1.7, I've created multi site following this tutorial: http://www.crucialwebhost.com/kb/how-to-setup-multiple-magento-stores/ . I'm using 02 themes with both a slider. In default store, theme works well, but in the second store, slider could not be displayed and also product's thumbnails. The 02 websites use the same root catalog (I don't know if it's recommanded). I don't understand why this problem appears. Could you please make help.
Thanks in advance
Best regards !
For using different themes on multi website or multistore, you must prepare the template on the different folder on root/skin/frontend/your-store-name
After that, you can assign the skin on the backend system by accessing System > Configuration > Design(tab) and then change the web skin..

I suffered with a issue in magento 1.8.1.0 that i saved design 'default' for website and also set setting as website for its Store. but when i saw in category detail page , where all product of that category shown has different design from configured design ? so please tell me what the things has to done to rectify this problem. thanks in advance
first of all Please gothrough with below,That's how magento theme fall back works,
your pkg> your theme
your pkg > default theme ( you can set default theme at backend)
your pckg > default
base > default
Also, Please clear magento cache before you check anything.
I got this error , because of i added a design in system -> design and i add an entry for my website is instead of 'default' to another theme , thats why i got category and other page was come with a deferent category. because these setting has the highest priority in design selection for magento. thanks for you comments.
First of all let me clear what i want to do, here is my problem. I have my magento project running on server. Now my client is asking me to add a module like this, please have a look
http://www.chinaglaze.com/Try-On/index.html
Also he want that he can manage images and color codes from the Magento Admin panel. I have not much experience in magento extension development.
Please provide me reference if there is any magento extension already exist so that i can use that other wiase how to do it.
If you want a Magento frontend view which is admin manageable (with your own custom database tables) try this piece I wrote: link. Hope it suits you.
You should add a custom module to add that.

I am figuring out how to enable login.phtml in magento 1.6 only in custom theme, however, it is clear to me that in magento 1.6 login is triggered from persistent not from customer until persistent is switched off. I am not able to display it either in persistent or in customer layout settings. In a built-in or base theme it is working fine but since I am developing a custom theme and now I am stuck on it to work properly. Any help is highly appreciated....

It do all the things in magento.
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.
I don't want to create templates for all transactional emails but I would like to replace the default Magento logo used for emails.
I know that I can go into the base directory and replace it, but if I upgrade the system it will wipe it out. Does anyone know the proper way to change it?
Another correct way to do that is to go in BackEnd to System>>Configuration>>Design>>Transactional Emails>>Logo Image
and easily pick your logo image from there.

You can create a new theme and place it there. This isn't as difficult as it sounds because of the way themes fall back onto defaults in Magento. If Magento can't find something in your theme, it will fall back onto the base theme by looking in the default folder.
For example, in a store that I maintain, I uploaded my own version of the e-mail logo image in
/skin/frontend/{package}/{my-theme-name}/images/logo_email.gif
and in the Administration panel, I went to System > Configuration > Design > Themes and set Default to {my-theme-name}.
Why does this work?
In the e-mail templates, Magento specifies the src of the logo image as {{skin url="images/logo_email.gif" _area='frontend'}}. This is Magento template gibberish for "find the images/logo_email.gif in the frontend area of the current theme." So Magento looks in for /frontend/{package}/{my-theme-name}/images/logo_email.gif, finds it, and uses that path when dishing out the HTML.
If you delete your image, it doesn't break! Instead, although Magento would still first search in your theme directory as described above, it would discover that it doesn't exist and fall back onto the one in /frontend/{package}/default/images/logo_email.gif.
Good luck, and hope this helps!
The best answer for handling logos in transactional emails is a combination of the previous answers.
Select the logo for your transactional emails by going here: System -> Configuration -> Design -> Transactional Emails -> Logo Image
Then, in your transactional emails ensure that they reference: {{var logo_url}} for the url of the logo.
I upgraded from an older version of Magento and it had {{skin url="images/logo_email.gif" _area='frontend'}} for the logo url. This older method referenced the logo_email.gif stuck in the default image folder.
For magento 1.9, if you want to change transactional mails' logo for all templates follow this:
System -> Configuration -> Design -> Transactional Emails -> Logo Image
In Magento 1.7.0.2 < use {{var logo_url}} instead of {{skin url="images/logo_email.gif" _area='frontend'}}
Sometimes the email client will keep a cached version of the image.
I was viewing the correct image in the browser by copying the url from the email source code, but still Mail on Mac Os was displaying the demo store logo...
