I am trying to add some code to a Joomla site just before the tag. I have never used Joomla before but from what I read up it should be something like this -
Log on to: http://www.yoursite.com/administrator/
In the top menu select: "Extensions" > "Template Manager"
Now select the template which is marked as default and click "Edit"
In the template edit page click "Edit HTML"
Or index.php file from your template folder however when I do both of these options the only thing there is:
<?php
if (class_exists('T3Template')) {
$tmpl = T3Template::getInstance($this);
$tmpl->render();
return;
} else {
//Need to install or enable JAT3 Plugin
echo JText::_('Missing jat3 framework plugin');
}
Any ideas where I can find the normal HTML markup with the tag?
Thanks for the help.
The markup for your template would normally be in /templates/template_name/index.php but your joomlart template uses a framework (which is not standard joomla, but common practice amongst large template providers). You should look into joomlart documentation, so you can make sure you will follow their best practices. From a quick glance at their forums, try looking at the \plugins\system\jat3\jat3\base-themes\default\page\default.php file (see here: http://www.joomlart.com/forums/showthread.php?55256-Add-code-before-lt-body-gt-amp-lt-head-gt&highlight=template+edit+jat3)
In a standard Joomla template, you would find the code inside abovementioned index.php.
You can find the template files at following location:
*Your_Base_URL/templates/mynewtemplate/*

I am developing a magento module that should inject some javascript at before_body_end. What I don't understand is where I should place my template file. In all tutorials, people suggest that they should be placed in app/design/frontend/default/default/{ModuleName}/{TemplateName}
First of all I can't get this to work. I get the error: Not valid template file:frontend/base/default/template/...
Furthermore, if I understand correctly, this would put the template in the default theme. But what if the end user uses another theme?
What does work, is placing the template file in app/design/frontend/base/default/{ModuleName}/{TemplateName}. However, I am not really sure if this is the way to go.
Can someone please tell me what the right course of action is here?
P.s. I need to modify the js based on conditionals. That's why I am not using addJs to inject the js.
Go to System -> Configuration -> Design -> Themes and check you fallback settings. You probably don't have "default" there.
First, Magento will look for the template, which is in the folder set in the "Templates" field in "Current package name" package , then if it doesn't exist, it will look for the template, which is set in "Default" field in "Current package name" package, and then it will look in the base/default folder.
I have a problem with magento 1.7 (WYSIWYG).
My problem is that I can't have a proper description of the product when I use the WYSIWYG.
For example if I write in the WYSIWYG my product description, on site web site I will have a presentation which isn't the same.
The WYSIWYG puts html tags for each line return.
Thank you for your help
I've found in the past that with some themes the description is run through the nl2br function first. This will replace all new lines with <br> tags. Look in your view.phtml template file for this and remove the nl2br function.
It could be that you have custom css on the front causing it to appair different, view source both the admin (WYSIWYG) and on the website to see if the html are the same. If they are the same then check your custom css
In the file description.phtml in the template/easytabs folder, I removed the nl2br.
And then it works fine.
I can't find a answer for this, I want to know what is the best way to have an alternative layouts for articles in Joomla.
If I understand you correctly you are looking for a way to create additional Alternative Layouts for articles. Under parameter tab "Article Options":
If that is the case, its very close to the other provided answers here. Its just that you got to rename the copied default.php file to something else. If you rename it to custom.php it will end up with the text "custom" like the image above.
Here goes my shot for a step by step:
Find the default layout file(s). You could use the ones provided by the com_content component. They can be found at components/com_content/views/article/tmpl. Copy both default.php and default_links.php.
Now you need to rename and copy the file(s) into a template. The target template can be any of the installed templates. Using beez_20 the new path for the copied file(s) should be templates/beez_20/html/com_content/article/custom.php and templates/beez_20/html/com_content/article/custom_links.php.
Goto to edit article using the backend. Expand the Article Options tab and find Alternative Layout. Select your new layout.
Your template might already provide a article override. If so, you might want to use the files of that template instead (instead of the ones in step 1). So if you are using beez_20, you could copy templates/beez_20/html/com_content/article/default.php and templates/beez_20/html/com_content/article/default_links.php.

Using Joomla’s Template and Layout Override
Layout overrides in Joomla 1.6
The best way to do this would either to install another content component - such as k2 which is highly customizable. Or any other content component on JED.
Alternatively you could create a template override on the existing Joomla Template. This is preferable to editing the files directly in com_content component as the template overrides will never be overwritten whereas the core files will be in any Joomla Updates. I should add, hopefully unnecessarily that this requires Joomla 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 2.5 or 3.0 (although this is still in beta as of present). So make sure you're not using 1.0.
To create an alternative layout for the built in articles component the best way to do it is probably to create a template over-ride.
See this article on docs.joomla.org on "How to override the output from the Joomla! core"
Creating an alternative for an article layout is pretty straight forward. You can achieve this by using the core layout override with your published template(s).
First you want to get/copy the core article layout file:
components/com_content/views/article/tmpl/default.php
Then place it into your published template:
templates/YOURTEMPLATE/html/com_content/article/default.php
If the template you are using doesn't have the html folder, then you will have to create that folder and each folder to make that path correct.
Once you have this in place, all you need to do is make changes to that default.php file you have just place in the template and that is it!
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.
I'm setting up a site and I've run into a problem:
I've modified the component.php file in order to customize the printing of an article. Unfortunately i discovered that phocagallery uses the same file to display pictures.
Is it possible to indicate a file different from component.php as template view for phocagallery images?
That template file is what controls the look/output of ALL components. You're better off doing a template override for whatever component (like com_content) or doing this to customize the print view.
