I just installed the Bootstrap template into my Magento install. I uploaded the files, went to System > Design and added the design change. The frontend of my site now displays the theme, but when I go to CMS > Pages and select a page, the Layout dropdown still shows the default/default layouts, not the ones as defined in app/design/frontend/bootstrap/default/layout/page.xml
Any ideas why they are not appearing? Thanks!
It's because Page.xml doesn't define the CMS page layouts for that drop down menu. You can find more information on it here;
magento: remove page layouts
This Inchoo post is a good way to add your own CMS page layout types via a super simple module (one of the answers in the above link takes a similar approach);

I have a slider on my home page. Thats correct but when I go to product page you see also the slider. Where can I turns this off?
I want it only on the home page.
Thanks!!
Use latest version of magento and the Magikshop theme from Themeforest.
First of all, have you installed the seperate extension for slider or it comes with your theme? If it was default provided by your theme.Then you can find the setting to configure the slider in
"System->configuration" in your admin panel.
Search for the banner or slider you may get the setting there to select which page you want to show the slider.
The setting may be different according to the slider.
If you have installed the extension yourself then you may find the banner/slider menu in the admin panel.
Hope this will help.
If the slider is a widget, you should be able to specify the pages that show a widget instance. The widgets that are in use can be found in the CMS section of the Magento Admin panel.
If the slider is a block you probably need to disable/remove/unset that block from your product detail page. To disable block on a particular page, you need to edit your layout Xml file. These files are most probably found in the following folder:
app/design/frontend/THEME/default/layout/
How to unset a block is described, e.g. here: Magento - remove block using update XML
First of all searched a lot but cant find any solution.
My layered navigation block is not showing in any pages like categories,sub categories.
Using template path hints i saw the block is not getting rendered.
I set is_anchor to YES and also added filterable attributes in admin panel.
But no luck. Its not showing in frontend.
Can you guys please suggest.
I found the solution by myself..my list.phtml had 2columns-right layout.
Most of the ajax layered navigation extension are based on 2columns-left.They only support 2columns-left layout.
So i made it 2columns-left.And now its coming.And the extension i used is MD-AJAX FILTER
Another Option is
GO to the extension layout file and change the reference from left to right. For their layerd navigation block.
Is it possible to use a different navigation menu on some cms pages in magento?
And how to do this?
If you are a developer you can create (duplicating the which one is in use) one theme that does not show top menu but show your custom menu.
Then when you create a new CMS page in the tab design you can choose your new theme for that specific CMS page.
I am using Magento 1.4.1.1 to build an online shop for my client, where he wants to have a left-side menu for some cms pages. The menu has the following characteristics:
The links in the menu are themselves cms pages.
The menu itself shall be a cms page.
The links in menu will be based on what cms page has been requested.
Create a static CMS block. Use as many blocks as you like, a block can include other blocks with the code shown at the bottom of that link.
Include them in each CMS page's XML layout.
I'm in the process of porting an existing website to Joomla. Most pages of this website consist of a main content area and a sidebar containing additional items relating to the main content, such as (in-page) links, images, additional information, etc.
In Joomla, the main page content would probably be an article, but I'm not sure what would be the best way to create the sidebar content in Joomla.
Examples of pages-with-sidebar:

I'm creating a custom template for this website, so any solutions that require modifying the template are fine as well. What would be the best way to set this up?
Keep the content of each sidebar in an article and then assign it to a module by means of the article-as-module extension. You can then control the scope for each module (i.e. choose menu postions for which it will be shown) in the admin interface.
There is an extension called meta mod which is perfect for this sort of thing. It allows you to show modules based on any condition you can evaluate with PHP
