Joomla virtuemart theme modification - joomla

I am presently working on a Joomla website having ecommerce functionality. I am a beginner in joomla. I need to modify my virtuemart theme according to my own css and html. How is it possible?

Simply head into your_joomla_directory/components/com_virtuemart/themes/your_theme_folder/theme.css
theme.css edits virutemart elements only, you may also have to edit your main template css file to get the full desired effect.

Can I make an Archive Page Template in Joomla! 1.5?

I am not pertaining to the category list of archives, but for the ARTICLE PAGE itself once it is archived.
Like a "single-{post_type}.php" on a Wordpress template where {post_type} is "archive".
Thanks for helping.
Yes you can,
Joomla archive article uses a separate layout in com_content component.
If you're planning to create a custom styles for archive articles you just need to do template override for com_content.
In Joomla articles are managing with a component called com_content.
you have to do a copy of components/com_content/views/archive/ files to your template folder. templates/your_templates/html/com_content/views/archive/
This way you can create custom styles for the archive articles. Also Please consider an update for your Joomla Version 1.5 is already dead.
Hope its helps..

Which template do you edit to change doctype in Magento checkout?

Which template do you edit to change doctype on the Magento checkout page?
I am trying to implement a design change using an alternative package/theme for mobiles using the Magento's HTML5, "iphone" template but I have been having problems with doctypes on certain pages.
The checkout is one such page. Try as I have I haven't been able find the template.
IT is driving me insane.
Any help appreciated.
Using Magento 17.0.2
Go to app/design/frontend/default/yourtheme/template/page folder, then edit the 1-column.phtml, 2columns-left.phtml, 2columns-right.phtml and 3 columns.phtml
First go to layout/checkout.xml. Copy that into your design if it's not already there so you can change the section that references template/page/1column.phtml as the template. Override that with your own file and in there you'll be able to set any doctype.
If you want to change the doctype globally, and not just on the checkout page, you can just edit your 1column.phtml.
As you make changes to these files go into the admin and clear your cache if you don't see the updates immediately.

Themes and editing pages in Sitefinity 4.4

When I edit content in the backend I would like to be able to see the page as like it is in sitefinity 3.7. Right now all I'm seeing are the contentplaceholders, I don't think this is will work for inexperienced users. Is this this possible to achieve? I've tried adding themes="theme" to the tag in the web config, but this applies it to the CMS elements as well.
Sitefinity version: 4.4
Thanks for your time!

To apply styles for particular elements only for the page editor (placeholders, widget headers etc.), put .sfPageContainer before every element. For example, if you want to change the color of the links in the page editor write .sfPageContainer a{color:blue} and this will apply only in the page editor, not in the whole system.

unable to edit footer area in magento

I am a newbie in magento. I want to replace the footer area in magento default theme with just an image and for this I edited the footer.phtml file. I removed all the links Contact Us and etc. But how to replace the default blue image from the bottom that is seen on the magento home page using default theme.
You'll have to edit the CSS for the default theme in that case. Also, depending on how you want the footer to look you should also edit the footer html code to fit your design requirements.
Assuming you are using the completely default theme, check this css file for the .footer tags:
skin/frontend/default/default/css/style.css
You can change all your CSS there.
Would suggest you first activate Template hints from System>Configuration>Developer>
Now look at the footer area to see from which theme the footer.phtml is being loaded. Edit the related CSS and you should be good to go
Would also suggest you empty the Magento Cache after making any css changes as suggested

How can i integrate joomla media selector into a custom component

I'm writing a custom component for joomla 1.5 and i been searching for a way to integrate
com_media image selector into it.
All i want, is to have a functionality like, the image selection in the create article page.
Anyone knows how to do this?
Is there an API in joomla to do this, or do i have to see how is done in com_content an start
form there?
You can use a select box with image preview like the one used for the Sections and Categories thumbnails. This is much easier to integrate though images must come from single directory.
See the com_sections and com_content files in you Joomla Administrators components directory.
Also try posting this in the Joomla Forums.
