How do I customize the admin cache page? - magento

Running Magento 1.4 and I want to customize the admin Cache Storage Management page. I looked at the files in /app/design/adminhtml/default/default/template/system/cache , but none of them actually seem to have the content that is generated on the cache page. I also looked in /app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml but didn't see anything in there to override. If someone could clue me into where the files might be or how I might override the page, I would be indebted to you.

See:
Mage/Adminhtml/Block/System/Cache.php
Mage/Adminhtml/Block/System/Cache/Edit.php
Mage/Adminhtml/Block/System/Cache/Form.php
Override them as normal.

Magento 1.9: frontend pages are blank (only header is visible)

I am new to Magento, We have one Magento 1.9 version website. Actually I want to change the host, for this, I took all files backup from the server and also exported the database and then I have uploaded all files into another host(Godaddy) and imported the database. Everything working fine at the admin panel or backend pages, but front end pages not loading properly, just its loading header part of the page.
I didn't change anything in the files, I just transferred the files from one host into another hosting, but I don't know why frontend pages are not loading.
Please anyone give me a solution to fix that issue. Please see the below screenshot for reference. Thank you in advance.
This behavior could be due to a PHP error that is not being printed to the screen because of the PHP configuration. Try enabling print error on PHP and see if anything shows up. Contact your provider (Godaddy) for guidance.
Also, ensure that all configuration on admin panel is set. When you upload database and make a new installation, even when uploading the old database, if you do not specify the same old encryption key, some configuration will be missing, for example payment provider tokens and so on.
Check also if your home page CMS still exists and is configured to show on home page. Check this on CMS pages and maybe on your theme configuration.
system -> configuration -> general -> web -> homepage CMS
For any further guidance, would need more details.

Checkout button in Magento not working after I upgraded from 1.6 to 1.7. - Am I missing something?

The store works when I add an item, but when I click to checkout the link re-directs to the home page store. It’s the same when I click on Proceed to checkout. Before, I had the cache management disabled and now is enabled. Is this related or what could be causing this problem? Thanks so much for the help, with kind regards.
Try deleting all the cache files stored in the /var/cache folder in magento.
Using chrome console or firebug check to see if you have any JS error before redirecting
Check your web logs to see if you have any php errors on the checkout page
It's most likely to be a Javascript issue when the checkout button does not work. Remove your theme to fall back to the base theme then see if it works.
I fixed and these where the steps I took to make it work. However, before you do any of the following work disable your cache management:
Open Magento admin panel
Go to System>Cache Management
Check all Cache types and in the Actions box select refresh
Then select all Cache types and in the Actions box select disable
Also click Flush Magento Cache and Flush Cache Storage buttons
Now you are free to perform any changes to your store.
Now, if you upgraded and nothing works make sure that under:
System/Configuration -> Web – Default Pages /that your ‘Home page’ is listed under
‘CMS Home Page’. Also check:
System/Configuration -> Design – Packages /that your ‘Template’ is listed under
‘Current Package Name’. Otherwise default takes over.
Note: your template will still come up with all its features and buttons in your browser, even if no home page is setup; this is because of the previous version configuration.
If the ‘Home Page’ and ‘Template’ are not listed, add them and go into your File System and erase everything under ‘var/cache’ and ‘var/session’. Reload your home page: www.yourstore.com/magento/ it should work. After, all work is done enable your cache management.
Also, it’s good to check that your home page lands at the store, and to check - do the following:
Login to your Magento MySQL database.
Open the db [database_prefix] for your store.
Locate core_config_data.
Find the row with entry: 'web/unsecure/base_url' and 'web/secure/base_url' they should look like www.yourstore.com/magento/ or whatever you name your magento store file.

Magento Full Page Cache and Theme

I am using magento full page cache, EE 1.11.2. For some reason my secondary mobile theme is displaying on some of my catalog pages. e.g. two out of 6. This only happens with FPC on. It is reoccurring and happens on the same pages. The cache can be valid or invalid. I have not found any information on a topic similar to this. Any ideas or suggestions on how to solve this?

Magento User Sessions Being Mixed Up

I was wondering if anyone could help me with the following issue. On our Magento site, enterprise version 1.10.1.1, a user may log in, and it will say another person's name. Then, if you click on another link, it might go back to your name. The user sessions are clearly being confused. Apparently, this is a full-page caching problem, because our full page cache is often invalidated and, if we turn it off, the user sessions no longer mix up. However, turning it off considerably slows down the site. Switching the sessions from db storage to file storage (and vice versa) did not fix the issue. Does anyone know what the problem could be or how to solve it?
Thanks very much,
Brenda
You should check with Magento for a patch. I had a similar problem with Gift Certificate field info getting mixed up between sessions. They provided a patch that resolved the problem.
In the header.phtml file you should use this to print the user name
<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('welcome') ?>
Then, you can override the block 'Mage_Page_Block_Html_Welcome' if you wanna customize your message.
this happens when you use "Full Page Cache" because by default, magento exclude some blocks of the full page cache, and the block 'welcome' is one of they. if you are using customization code and message, the user name will be cached too, and other users will see different user names in this section.
it can be dependence on the cache issue. Try to turn cache off (go to admin, system, cache management and disable all cache).
If issue gone - you need to check cache configuration. If not - you have really session issue.
BTW, where you store sessions (files or DB or memcached?)
I found the cause related to Enterprise_PageCache_Model_Processor_Default class, my way is disable it in config.xml, edit src\app\code\core\Enterprise\PageCache\etc\config.xml:
<requests>
<!-- <cms>enterprise_pagecache/processor_default</cms>-->
</requests>
This problem was probably caused by Magento not being able to set proper session parameters if it was behind a reverse proxy cache like Varnish (I bet it was the case). Whenever using an intermediate caché system you have to make sure you are using the apropiate module in Apache to forward the X_FORWARDED_FOR http header to Magento like mod_rpaf, otherwise Magento will see al requests coming from the same IP and it will not be able to determine correct session isolation as it will think all requests come from the same client.

Joomla 1.6 backend admin area blank

For some reason, when I log into my joomla 1.6 backend, it is now empty, displaying only a logout button. Any Ideas?
I just went through the same problem but on J!1.7.3. There may be many, many reasons but please check using just URL if you can see for example:
[YourDomainHere]/administrator/index.php?option=com_content or
[YourDomainHere]/administrator/index.php?option=com_modules
If content is listing and you're missing just Admin-menu and sub-navigation in back-end --> this means you messed-up with access levels and viewing access.
If you can't see content listing - ignore the rest of this post :-)
...with access levels and viewing access. To check that, try entering [YourDomainHere]/administrator/index.php?option=com_users&view=levels and enter each position in the list. Joomla backend navigation module usually has Access set to Special, so focus on this one. When enter Special - manager, author and super administrator should be ticked. If everything empty in any from the list - this is your issue :)
You need to add manager, author and super administrator to your Special access level. Obviously you can't see Save button, so you need to use database. [wrrr :) sounds scary?] Not a big deal, just go there using for example phpMyAdmin and find _viewlevels table. In there just edit Special and add [6,2,8] values to set up manager, author, super.....
Update database. Try to log-in one more time (close browser and clean cache before).
I hope if this wasn't helpful for you, will be for somebody else.
p.s. There may be a way of 'saving' changes in you joomla access levels with URL. Then you don't need to go to DB .. but I don't know if this is feasible at all :)
Check the rewrite of htaccess and the $mosConfig_absolute_path variable in config.php
Apparently, the Bluestork Template (admin template) has some security issues. In my case there were some missing files in the template folder /administrator/templates/bluestork/ that caused the administrator screen to appear blank. I've copied a clean version of the template in the bluestork folder and after that I was able to see the backend admin area.
I've removed the bluestork templates entirely for now, which seems to be the best option. Joomla installs 2.5.8, 2.5.6, 2.5.2, 1.7.0, 1.6.3 are affected. The Blustork Template is a target for hacks with old Joomla.
this happening becoz of admin user lost his permissions. see below article to fix this issue
