Can I Rename sites in WebMatrix? - webmatrix

I am playing around with Umbraco which I install though the Web Platform Installer. 3 different sites are now showing up in WebMatrix, and they are just Umbraco CMS1, Umbraco CMS2 and Umbraco CMS3. Is there a way to change that name? It's pretty confusing at the moment.

Find the applicationhost.config file (My Documents > IISExpress > config) and change the site name there.

You can actually rename sites by opening the site in WebMatrix, going to the Site workspace, right-clicking the site folder item in the left pane tree, and choosing Rename.
Note that this does not change the folder name, only the entry in applicationhost.config file.

Yeoman Office Add-in : Change the logo

I created a Outlook add-in that does what I want, but I can't seem to change the image on the logo. I replaced all of the default icon-xx.png files in /assets with my own .png file (and kept the same names), but it won't pick up even after running npm run build etc.
Can someone tell me what the rules around these files are? Do they need to be a certain size or something?
The web browser and Office applications may cache files. You can clear the browser and Office cache. You can delete the content of the following folders:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Wef\
If the following folder exists, delete its contents too:
%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Win32WebViewHost_cw5n1h2txyewy\AC\#!123\INetCache\
Read more about that in the Clear the Office cache article.

IIS express 8 webpage is not available

I set up a site using IIS Manager but cannot get it to serve a static web page from my local file system (get the above error) the only way I can serve it is to copy the page assets into the directory for the default site (C:\inetpub\wwwroot). I can't find any documentation that I can understand for IIS. How can I set the root of localhost for IIS to my project folder?
The short, easy answer is "you can't". The better way is to move your project to the wwwroot folder.
You can, however, link additional folders in IIS Manager. If you link your project folder under wwwroot, you could access it at localhost\MyProjectFolder

magento theme install

I have a rather simple question.
I want to install a new magento theme. In the documentation it says to overwrite the default 'app' and 'skin' folders with the theme's 'app' and 'skin' folders.
"8. Upload the "app" and "skin" folders from the template themeXX folder to your Magento root
folder (accept the replacement)"
However, when I am doing that, it prompts me to download magento again thru the magento installation wizard.
To me, it sounds more reasonable to just copy the contents of the 'app' and 'skin' folders of the new theme into the default 'app' and 'skin' folders of the magento framework as they contain some other folders that probably should remain intact.
Any suggestions please?
Did you first install the default Magento in the folder where you want to run it? You will need a running installation of Magento before you can go ahead and install a team.
If it keeps promting you check that you're on the right address in the address bar of your browser. To install magento you would have been redirected to [magento]/downloader/
As a last resort you could open up index.php and remove the code redirecting you the downloader folder, but at this point you might be better off re-installing Magento (remove everything in the directory and follow the install steps again) since something probably went wrong.
After you've installed Magento check if you see the default store interface and can access the admin areas before installing anything else (including a theme)!
There's absolutely no need to overwrite the app and skin folders. In fact, if you do so, you could easily overwrite just about all of Magento's functionality and break your system.
That would be why you're getting a new installation prompt.
What's the theme you are installing, and what's the link to the page where they give that information?
Generally a theme will be packaged will a folder structure that looks like this:
theme_package
theme_package/app
theme_package/app/code
theme_package/app/code/local
theme_package/app/code/local/Namespace
theme_package/app/code/local/Namespace/Themename
theme_package/app/code/local/Namespace/Themename/Block
theme_package/app/code/local/Namespace/Themename/etc
theme_package/app/design
theme_package/app/design/frontend
theme_package/app/design/frontend/base
theme_package/app/design/frontend/base/themename
theme_package/app/design/frontend/base/themename/layout
theme_package/app/design/frontend/base/themename/template
theme_package/skin
theme_package/skin/css
theme_package/skin/js
and so on.
This content needs to be merged as you said.
Many of these folders already exist, for instance app/code/, app/design/frontend/base/, skin/css/, skin/js/
Just copy any new files or folders.
#george i know it's been a while since anything has been said on here, but i just want people to know for future reference that you only have to add to the app/design/frontend/default/[theme name] and skin/frontend/default/[theme name] folders like sg3s stated. i lost about 4 hours to this tonight b/c i bought a theme and they didn't specify that you only need to add to the folders not overwrite them.
