Magento frontend and backend page looks different - magento

I am a newb in magento and recently started looking at it to create a store for my client.
I am not sure but i tried installing firephp extension and soon after that I’m having my screen looks like the screenshot. ** please check the link provided!
Do I have to make any installations to get everything working as normal or what am I suppose to do to go to the normal screen. I have also changed the inline translation option to NO if thats what it requires.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers I have also posted this question on the magento forum
http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/193499/

Looks like you turned on some sort of template building helper that shows what templates generate which parts of the page.
Some quick googling found this, which appears to be the one. Look for "Template Path Hints" in the settings and turn it off.

Magento Extension not work properly on backend

I have an issue with Ves Contentslider of VenusTheme as it dose not load properly on backend. It still works fine on front end but we cannot do any configuration as it's control panel does not load the content. This is pretty weird as we have not changed any thing in our site recently. Please have a look at the screen shot below to have better understanding. Thank you in advance.
Screen shot
I just fixed this issue and thanks to the Venus Theme team for the quick and accurate suggestion. I did compress the js&css files and it stop the website rendering the js&css codes properly. That is why the configaration panel did not load on the admin site. So, I just need to go to the back end and navigate to Configuration/Advanced/Developers/JavaScript Settings(CSS Settings) and chose No option for the Merge JavaScript Files(Merge CSS Files). Then everything work perfectly again. This is good to know when we consider compress our CSS and JavaScript files. Cheers

Wrong URL used when accessing article through a module

I have an annoying problem and am hoping someone will be able to help.
We use quite a few extensions on our Joomla site (Roksprocket mainly but also Global News Filter for instance).
The modules themselves are working fine however when I click on an article in one of these modules the article opens but it doesn't use the nice URL that should be displayed (we have Search Engine Friendly URLs set to Yes and Use URL rewriting set to Yes). This happens for all modules that draw off a category (so I don't think its linked to a specific extension).
For instance on our Case Studies page if you click on Read More on the RSA Case Study you get this URL
http://www.assima.net/en/resources/case-studies/99-home/resources/case-studies/ats-case-studies/649-case-study-rsa
but what you should get is the menu item URL associated with this article which is this
http://www.assima.net/en/resources/case-studies/ats-case-studies/rsa
I don't think there is anything wrong with our .htaccess as I reverted back to the default Joomla one and it still occured.
Also this used to work perfectly. I first noticed it around October or November last year.
If anyone has any ideas I would really appreciate it, I've googled the problem many times and not found any help.
Thanks
Emma
FIXED.
Due to a Joomla bug. Fixed by overwriting the route.php file as described in this post: http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=625&t=831007&start=30

Template issue - Halogy

I have just installed Halogy on my MAMP localhost. I've followed the instructions here to set up all my folders and this is working fine. Dashboard looks good. However, my default template is empty. And, no matter what I put in it, after editing and saving - the markup is still empty. So I cannot get any editable fields in my pages whatsoever. When I edit my page content its just empty. I have also tried creating a new template and applying that to a new page. Same results. I am scratching my head here. Does anyone have any ideas as to what's gone wrong?
I could help you, since I've been working exclusively with and extending Halogy for about 8 months now. But, I need more details, since this behavior could be attributable to any number of issues. For example, what does the page source look like? Also, please note that, if you're not logged into Halogy, unpublished pages will not appear. However, your default home page should be visible. Have you searched the Halogy forum and/or posted your question there?

mouse over zoom not working in magento

I want to install a jquery zoom box on my magento website, I have tried almost every thing found on the internet. am I doing something wrong? But I cannot seen to get jquery mouse over zoom to work on my magento site, I have put in jquery noconflict in my jquery files as well. I am using magento 1.5.1 , I have even tried installing magento extensions of magic zoom, cloud zoom , jqzoom but nothing is working.
Any help will be appreciated
thx in advance
First you may please check whether there is any js error.
Sometimes the extension you installed may be in the default directory of the template.So please check view source of the product detail page, whether there exits the content. Otherwise please copy that template and layout from the default folder to your theme folder.
If your browser is Chrome, CTRL+SHIFT+J will open the javascript console.
In my case, it told me that the magento /js/scriptaculous folder was missing, which seems to be a bug in Magento Connect for 1.8.1.0. Copying that folder from an archived earlier version on the Magento website fixed this.
The original question was about a different version of Magento so may not have the same cause.
Have you had a look at this: http://leveluptuts.com/tutorials/magento-community-tutorials/53-theming-magento-23-better-product-zoom.
I've used it and it works like a charm!

Google Checkout button not appearing on cart page

Hope you guys don't mind me asking this question, but I find myself at a loss to why this is happening and need some suggestions on how I might resolve the issue. If I shouldn't ask these kinds of questions, please let me know.
Currently I am working on a Magento 1.9 site that was upgraded from 1.8 and when I enabled Google Checkout, the button doesn't appear on the cart page (/checkout/cart/). I went back to the default template that Magento uses and it still didn't work.
I then tried enabling Google Checkout on a clean copy of Magento 1.9 and it worked. Then I tried replacing the core mage checkout folder with the ones from the clean copy of Magento and that didn't work.
So I have test the layout, template and core mage checkout files and nothing happens.
I also tried accessing Google Checkout directly with this piece of code:
<?php echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('googlecheckout/link')->setTemplate('googlecheckout/link.phtml')->toHtml(); ?>
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks so much!
First, turn the default template on for testing, just to be sure. Clear all your caches and try again. Make sure that there aren't any "hidden" elements on the page displaying it. It may be helpful to turn on template hints to see if the block exists as anticipated but does not render any content, or if the block actually does not exist as anticipated.
If no joy, check to make sure that Google's critera are met. Taking a look at that template and block, there are a few checks that need to pass to get checkout:
Mage::getModel('googlecheckout/payment')->isAvailable($quote)
$quote->validateMinimumAmount()
Every single product in the cart must return false to $item->getProduct()->getEnableGooglecheckout() (otherwise, ti looks like the template wants to display an image)
Report back if you still have problems :)
Thanks,
Joe
