joomla1.6 template changes - joomla

I have created a new template in joomla 1.6. I went to extension, discover and installed it.
However, when I make any other changes in the template / templateDetails.xml , it does not show up. Anyone know the reason?

How do I delete joomla template?

I installed a new template for my joomla site but after that I have no access template manager. It only becomes a completely white page in Firefox and Opera says that "currently unable to handle the request." Is there any way to delete a template outside of the webadmin interface?
You can delete through your ftp client like filezilla. Open filezilla, login to your server and the delete the template. May be the template comes with some plugins or else how can just by installing it started showing error unless you use that template. Possibility is: i) You might have installed a template for older version. ii) You might have installed a plugin with the template that was autopublished. iii) You messed up some setting files.
I suggest you to open file manager, go to templates and then delete that particular template. Also when asking please ask providing all details like name of template, link of template etc.

Prestashop smarty is not removing the cache

In prestashop I wanted to customize the default bankwire payment module. I have changed many things there in the payment.php file which is working file, but when I tried to change the smarty file(payment_execution.tpl) it did not showed any changes. I tried to remove cache from the cache folder then I tried every process which tells to remove cache, disable cache from the store. But it did not showed the changes in the frontend. I also made the same changes inside prestashop theme folder (themes/default-bootstrap/module/bankwire) but still it did not showed the changes. So can someone tell me what's the issue here?
Delete everything inside cache/smarty/cache and cache/smarty/compile
Set the option Template compilation in ADVANCED PARAMETERS > PERFORMANCE
to Recompile templates if the files have been updated
Search for all files named payment_execution.tpl in PrestaShop
If it doesn't work you'll need to check the file modules\bankwire\controllers\front\payment.php and follow the instruction $this->setTemplate('payment_execution.tpl'); step by step to see the path of the tpl (you will need a php debugger for that)

Checkout Error After Upgrading Magento to 1.8.1

I updated my site from Magento 1.8.0 to 1.8.1 and now the checkout process won't proceed after choosing a shipping method. Can someone please advise on this matter?
Thanks
Solved. In the checkout.xml file of our template, we had to make the following change (change the methods.html file to info.html) The new base template could not override this line and therefore the checkout-payment-method-load div was not writtten. See here: https://magento.stackexchange.com/questions/10984/magneto-v1-8-one-page-checkout-not-loading-payment-information
I just copied the checkout.xml file from app/design/frontend/default/modern/layout/checkout.xml and overwrote the one in our custom directory app/design/frontend/YourName/default/layout with that one, and it fixed the problem. Same with the "white page" PayPal issue. If you have a paypal/ folder in the template folder of your custom skin you also need to replace that with the default one I guess for the paypal issue.

Facebook like button not showing after installing new theme?

I added a like button extension,it is perfectly fine as it was showing in the default theme but it is not showing anymore after installing a new theme.
can anyone tell me the reason please..?
I am using magento 1.6.
You should probably move the template files of your plugin to the directory of the new extension.
Move them from /app/design/frontend/default/default/template/ to /app/design/frontend/newtheme/default/template/ ...

Magento - Editing phtml files in adminhtml folder having no effect

When I make a change to “app/design/adminhtml/default/default/template/page/head.phtml” or other files in the adminhtml folders, the changes I make have no effect on the site. The site seems to be using old versions of my files but I have no idea where it is getting them from. I have deleted the cache multiple times and logged in/out of admin. I’ve also managed to turn on path hints in the admin panel and can see that the correct files are being used but the code in the files is incorrect. If I rename the file to _head.phtml then as you'd expect, the styling, js and meta tags etc go missing but when I make a simple edit to that same file the change is not reflected.
I recently upgraded from 1.6.2 to 1.7 - Am I missing something?
