I am looking to edit the container1 and container2 product information in my magento template. In view mytemplate/template/catalog/view.phtml and I see these container1 and container2 calls.
After some research, I should be looking for an options directory, but that does not exist in my template.
Is this something I am suppose to add if its not there? Hopefully someone can help as I am definitely hoping to add a new div class and some new options to this Add to Cart/product-options area.
If you're trying to actually add options, you would do that through the admin interface. If you're trying to change aspects of the template affecting how options are displayed, you would indeed be looking for options .phtml files. Specifically, in your theme path, something like:
/app/design/frontend/default/YOUR_THEME/template/catalog/product/view/options
And there will be two files:
wrapper.phtml
wrapper/bottom.phtml
In the future you might also want to look into enabling theme hints through your admin interface:
System > Configuration
Change current configuration scope to anything more specific than "Default Config".
Advanced > Developer > Debug > Template Path Hints > Yes
After enabling this mode, open the product view page and each element on the page will also show which .phtml it is being generated by. If this is a live site, you might also want to set your IP address under the Developer Client Restriction Allowed IP so nobody else sees the hints.

I'm new to vBulletin, so excuse me if I could not describe the what I want the best way.
I searched a lot about a tutorial or even a documentation describing how to add custom settings fields to general settings page in vBulletin admin panel but no way unlike the Wordpress which is much easier to get tutorials to.
Thanks.
Turning on Debug Mode will allow you to add new settings to the Admin CP.
To do so, edit your includes/config.php
add $config['Misc']['debug'] = true; on a new line after <?php
Go back to Admin CP > Settings > Options
on that page you should see links for adding options.
I am trying to make module that switches diffrent .phtml of productview depend on attributeset name. I dont know witch file is responsible for rendering productview.
It is usually Magento Block that render template. In your case productivew is rendered by
Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_View.
You can easily figure this out by enabling template_hints and template_hints_blocks. To enable these to option follow steps below:
Go go Admin
System > Configuration
In left column, Select Developer under Advance.
Change Current Configuration Scope to website level (template_hints and template_hints_blocks is applicable at website level only)
Make yes to Template Path Hints and Add Block Names to Hints under Debug group.
you can rewrite this class:
Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_View
and then you can add your own logic to it to switch to another template, not the standard
catalog/product/view.phtml
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 am trying to create a custom template, but I want the template to look a little different for my Joomla! homepage/frontpage. Is there a easy boolean-type expression I can use to determine whether I am on my site's homepage?
That way, I can just say if ($on_homepage) { [custom homepage html] } else { [regular template] }
Thanks in advance!
You can create a separate template for your homepage. More details here.
This is very easy, just create 2 templates. One for your homepage and one for the rest of your site. Then install both, make sure you give them a descriptive name in their xml file so you know the difference.
Once they are installed you can set a default template that would be site wide. Then choose/click on your homepage template and it's options will load up. On the bottom left you can select the menu items where this template will be visible. This setup is very much like the way in which you define where modules are shown.
I have created my own theme for magento, and I am trying to edit the logo and am having difficulty.
I have created my own local/Mage/Page/etc/config.xml file, and specified within the config the following:
<logo_src>images/Race-Ramps-logo-streaked-gradient.gif</logo_src>
I created a custom layout in the file as well. I can see the custom layout file in the CMS, but my changes to the logo do absolutely nothing. I have even tried changing the original core config.xml, it still stays the same.
On multiple websites, I have been told to go to System > Configuration > Design > Header, but I do not have the header option?
Help please!
The value you're changing (mostly likely, hard to tell without more context) in the configuration file is the default value for a the logo_src System Config variable. This is not want you want to do.
The people who've told to change the value in System -> Configuration -> Design -> Header are correct. If you don't have a header options there it's eitehr because
The person who setup your admin account didn't give you access (ask them)
You have the wrong configuration scope set (look in the upper left hand corner for the scope selector)
Someone tried to customize your Magento store and accidentally killed the header configuration
If you're desperate you could always search through your codebase for calls to getLogoSrc
base/default/template/page/html/header.phtml
default/iphone/template/page/html/header.phtml
default/modern/template/page/html/header.phtml
and replace them with a hard coded image.
Save image at the below location
/magento/skin/frontend/default/default/images/your_image_name.png
Login to the admin section
System > Configuration > General > Design > Header > Logo Image Src
-- Replace the images/logo.gif to images/your_image_name.png
Your default magneto front-end header logo will be changed to your custom logo.
I was only able to make my logo show (in Magento Community 1.9) after I placed the file in this directory: /skin/frontend/base/default/images/logo_YCZ.jpg
