Sitefinity 4 Products module Example doesn't create custom widget template - custom-controls

We are trying to use the Sitefinity 4 Products module that comes as an example in their SDK as a foundation for a couple custom content types we are creating.
When we use Products module example, we can see it created 2 new entries under the widget template to create custom widget templates. However, when we try to create the template, it will not show up in the list of available widget templates.
What is missing that is preventing the widget template we are creating from showing up on the list for editing. The widget template we create doesn't show up under All Templates nor my Templates.

I encountered this issue before, it turned out that my templates were set with a Build Action of "Content" instead of "Embedded Resource".
hope this is helpful!

I received a response from Telerik, it is a bug in their system that the widget module does not pick up the area name from custom modules. This should be fixed in a future release of Sitefinity. In the mean time, you can update the record in the sf_presentation_data table to contain an area_name so it will show up as an option in the admin.

How do I get Magento 2 data to use in the template?

I am starting in the Magento development world, and I'm creating a new theme.
On my theme, I have a block which displays business contact info, but I don't know how to get the data from the store.
I have to make a custom menu as well, but stop in the same problem: getting category data from the store.
I also wanted to know if there is any place where you can find more references on this data return issue, such as what available methods and classes are available, for example.
Where do you want to display the custom data ? In a product page or your custom module's separate page ?
If you want to use custom block in sidebar you can follow steps given here

joomla add custom tab and custom fields to article

first i show image: http://www.upload.ee/image/4675395/Untitled.png , to understand my idea better
I am using joomla 2.5.14 and I want to add another menu option for Extra Fields (It would have 10 fields - ID, Picture URL, Video URL, etc).
The new menu would be saved as vod_items table. The menu would be added where are the Publishing Options, Configure Edit Screen, etc.
That option should be available in every article.
Is there a simple way to add that option to Joomla or is there any kind of a code or plugin to do that?
Kind regards,
Aimar.
You can create a custom plugin to add more custom fields on Article manager or any other core component of Joomla.
You can follow following link for creating a plugin for adding custom fields to Article manager.
Reference : Adding custom fields to core components using a plugin
Note : Don't edit the core component as all changes will be lost in future update of Joomla.

Template not displaying correctly

I've just had to reinstall Joomla as the template didn't seem to display correctly.
It should look like this demo
http://demo.joomla-monster.com/190-jm-lifestyle
But it looks like this.
www.ultimatemuscleperformance.co.uk
Does anyone have any idea why?
I'm really new to Joomla but I thought all of that would be displayed by default
*strong text*The template you've installed probably uses different named module positions to the template you were using before.
For example, lets say you assigned a login module to "position-7" (right sidebar) on your first template, you then install this new template. The module won't show because the new template uses the name "right-column" instead.
Here is a map of the module positions your template provides:
http://www.joomla-monster.com/knowledge-base-area/templates-documentation/templates-for-joomla-3-0/jm-lifestyle/template-layout
So all you need to do is assign the modules that aren't showing to a position shown on the link above
Hope this helps

In a custom Joomla! template, how can I determine whether I am on the home page?

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.
