Installation problem: couldn't find XML in the pack - joomla

I'm a beginner in Joomla CMS, and maybe the answer is obvious.
I've downloaded the lastest released version of sIFR 2.0.7. When I try to install the plugin on my Joomla site through the wizard, it tells me that the package doesn't contain an XML install file. I've opened the .zip archive and I couldn't find it either, as the installer wizard told me.
Maybe I'm missing something, but how can I install the package ? Is there any requirement ?
Regards,
Yoann
P.S: sorry if my english is bad, I'm french :)

You can not download sIFR-2.0.7.zip and expect it to load like a Joomla plug-in. You must get sIFR from here Joomla sIFR. This will load without any problems, since it is designed to be a Joomla 1.5+ addon. The name of the file you get is bot_sifr_v2.0.7_J15.zip.
In order to get everything running, you will respond according to this message:
Loads sIFR inside joomla, place the following code at the bottom of your template (just before </body></html>) to make it work:
<script type="text/javascript">
if(typeof sIFR == "function"){
sIFR.replaceElement(".contentheading, .componentheading", named(
{sFlashSrc: "plugins/system/bot_sifr/tradegothic.swf", sColor: "#c64934", sWmode: "transparent"}
));
}
</script>

2sxc Gallery - The requested content can not be loaded. Please try again later

DNN 09.09.01 / 2sxc 11. 22.1 / Image Gallery v5
App installation without problem, but when you click on image to show in Fancy box - you got message; The requested content can not be loaded. Please try again later.
I tested this with 2sic DNN Instant Bootstrap 4 theme and it is working just fine.
However, on this site I am using other DNN Theme ("Professional" Theme from DNNVista, Bootstrap 3, link; https://store.dnnsoftware.com/home/product-details/professional-15-colors-mega-menu-bootstrap-responsive-dnn-6x-7x-8x-dnn-9x) and this error occurred every time I click on a single photo.
I am aware that this Theme is full of bugs and I probably wasted 99$ for it, but would like to find out what is wrong and try to fix it in this particular Theme.
But - I don't know where to start, because there is no errors in Admin Log.
Any similar situations or ideas, please?
(sorry if I did not express my self clearly - English is not my Mother Tongue. Please ask if you need clarification)
UPDATE:
I found that, from some reason, hyperlinks for pictures are parsed without question mark after filename, but can't find a reason for such behaviour because everything is correct in app template.
Just a guess - probably you have some JS replacing other JS - like Fancybox being loaded 2x in different versions. Best check the Chrome-Network to verify.

How to change jQuery version in magento 1.9.3.4

I am new in magento and cms in general so my question is what are the steps to accomplish this task ? i have found solutions for newer version. Extension that i downloaded require jQuery > 1.8 and i found out that my actual version is 1.7.2.
Any help is appreciated.
First on your page press CTRL + U (if chrome), than CTRL + F. type jquery, find line where ..scrip... src="...jquery.1.7.2...> (you need jquery file, not jQuery plugin or smth.) this step for find name of jquery file, becouse it can be jQuery.min.1.7.2.js jQuery.1.7.2.js and etc...)
Copy file name
Open any IDE or smth. For load magento project files if you haven't it. Use function like Find in folder, and look for copied name. It should be in theme layouts folder or base layouts folder.
Download right jQuery version and put it where is old one.
Comment that line where xml loads old jQuery, and load new one in local.xml.
(or just replace in that xml, but it is bad practice, better make changes in local.xml)

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.

Joomla TinyMCE deletes empty span

I want to use following tag
<h4><span class="icon-phone"></span></h4>
but TinyMCE from Joomla always deletes it, when i save it.
I find the solution that i have to add span[*] to "Extended Valid Elements" in Options from TinyMCE in PluginManager. but it doesn't work. It always delete it again and again. I searched here for a while and found some articles which was similar to my problem but doesn't solve it.
I use Joomla Version 3.3.6 and the plugin is 4.1.2.
Hope somebody can help.
Best Regards,
Dennis
Welcome to TinyMCE, my most hated editor ever.
I've had the same problem multiple times and I believe it's because the editor expects content within the element. So try the following:
<h4><span class="icon-phone"> </span></h4>
is simply a non breaking space
go to: Joomla! administration - Extensions - Plugins - edit Editor - TinyMCE
Set the following parameter:
Extended Valid Elements: span[class|style]
This works for me in Joomla! 3.5 (plugin version 4.3.3)

Use Sourcerer to place any code anywhere. This module is very useful and solve TinyMCE editor problems!

Joomla uses the TinyMCE editor which doesn't support writing pure PHP. Therefore you will need to download an extension that allows you to do so. Personally, if it's just PHP you want to use in an article, then I would recommend using PHP Direct
