I've done this befor but with all my memory, search efforts and logic failing I can't figure out how to add a new "Big Icon" link on the main dashboard of the Joomla administration.
What file am i looking to change?
I'm sitting on a fresh install of 1.5.15
Do you mean addin a new "big Icon" to the control panel of the Joomla administration dashboard?
image-example: http://i49.tinypic.com/9ampmq.png
(image is in spanish, just an example)
Anyway, if that is what you're looking for:
Check the mod_quickicon folder inside of /administrator/modules/.
Inside, you should see mod_quickicon.php, open it.
Scroll down and you'll find a <div id="cpanel">...</div>
Here's where you make the magic happen. Just copy one of the quick-icons, i.e.
$link = 'index.php?option=com_media';
quickiconButton( $link, 'icon-48-media.png', JText::_( 'Media Manager' ) );
.. and edit it according to what you need/want. I guess you know what I mean, but just to make sure, you probably want to change the image, the $link (for that you'll have to create a custom folder if you wanna keep it clean, such as "com_whateveryouwant".
I hope this helps.
You could also just download this extension.. but it'll be boring:
--sorry can't post more links, if you're interested, write me back--

The best way is to make new Quickicon plugin. The simpliest way is to inspire in Extensionupdate or Joomlaupdate Quickicon plugin.
Copy the directory of some plugin, rename the directory to your own Quickicon Plugin name, edit the file in what you want ... the base thing is that the plugin must return Icon Definition array
Need to add to SQL DB do #_extensions (# is db prefix) new line of code defining that the plg_guickicon_ownplugin is there (again, inspire in Joomlaupdate/Extensionupdate plugin SQL record)
And that's all, no hacking needed, just make own plugin for Quickicon module
The file is a module, you can create a module and assign it to the position of 'icons'.

The following code is not working
unset($doc->_styleSheets[JURI::root(true).'/media/mod_languages/css/template.css']);
thank you
The code is correct and I tested it, it's working fine.
Possibly you are running it in a plugin event after the head is rendered, or you have cached the page and the code is not really running.
In either case, try to put it at the component level, clear cache, and it should work
Update
to identify the component: turn SEF off, and look at the URL it shows as option=com_componentname;
to identify the module, simply rename the modules folder, and update the site; if it works, it's a module.
For plugins, rename the plugins/system and plugins/content first, then drill down until you spot it.
Alternatively, but much slower, you can turn modules and plugins on and off from the backend, until you find the culprit.
A variation which I've used with success in the past:
unset($doc->_styleSheets[$this->baseurl.'/media/mod_languages/css/template.css']);
Update
Here's an alternate method using a module override which should work for you.
if it doesn't already exist, create a new directory titled html in your template's folder, ie: /templates/your-template/html/
inside this, create an new mod_languages folder, ie /templates/your-template/html/mod_languages/
copy the file from joomla-site-root/modules/mod_languages/tmp/default.php to the folder above, ie /templates/your-template/html/mod_languages/default.php
open this file with a text editor and around line 12 look for the line where JHtml is loading the mod_languages CSS, and comment it out.
// JHtml::_('stylesheet', 'mod_languages/template.css', array(), true);
That's it, hopefully, this will do the trick for you.
Overriding Joomla core output using this method is safe and you won't loose your work with future Joomla updates.

Good luck!
I am developing a magento module that should inject some javascript at before_body_end. What I don't understand is where I should place my template file. In all tutorials, people suggest that they should be placed in app/design/frontend/default/default/{ModuleName}/{TemplateName}
First of all I can't get this to work. I get the error: Not valid template file:frontend/base/default/template/...
Furthermore, if I understand correctly, this would put the template in the default theme. But what if the end user uses another theme?
What does work, is placing the template file in app/design/frontend/base/default/{ModuleName}/{TemplateName}. However, I am not really sure if this is the way to go.
Can someone please tell me what the right course of action is here?
P.s. I need to modify the js based on conditionals. That's why I am not using addJs to inject the js.
Go to System -> Configuration -> Design -> Themes and check you fallback settings. You probably don't have "default" there.
First, Magento will look for the template, which is in the folder set in the "Templates" field in "Current package name" package , then if it doesn't exist, it will look for the template, which is set in "Default" field in "Current package name" package, and then it will look in the base/default folder.
I am new to cs-cart and
I am trying to use hooks in cs-cart. I had gone through some cs-cart website but not getting proper answer. Suppose if i want to override footer.tpl file with new content then how can i do it using hooks. Just tell me the steps what code to write in index.tpl file and where to keep new footer.tpl file.
I'd suggest you to check this brief guide: http://docs.cs-cart.com/hooks.
Assuming you're on a version 4.x.x:
You don't need to edit anything in index.tpl, just take note of the name of the hook you want to use (I suppose you want to use this one {hook name="index:footer"})
Write your new template and give it the name footer.[override/pre/post].tpl
Save this new .tpl file in themes/[your_theme_name]/templates/addons/my_changes/hooks/index (maybe you need to create such directories in your folders tree)
Make sure you have the "my changes" addon installed and active. You can check it through your admin area of the store.
And that's it, it should work.
Notes:
I've seen no standard "footer.tpl" file in version 4.x.x., so the above instructions work, but they only append content at the end of the page. Customization of such page area can be done via the layout and theme editor on the admin area of the store.
The naming algorithm mentioned on the documentation of cs-cart is for
version 3.x.x. Since version 4.x.x. the folders names have varied.
You should replace skins/[skin name]/[admin|customer] for
design/themes/[your_theme_name]/templates
I have installed phpFox and I have HTML( only html,css,js ) template. I want to change to my own html template instead of default template! I could to do this task! Please help me to change default template to my own html template. phpFox 3.3.0
Go to your admin area.
Then
Create a new theme here.
http://yousite.com/index.php?do=/admincp/theme/add/
Now create a new style here and select your theme
http://yousite.com/index.php?do=/admincp/theme/style/add/
add a new style here
Now go to folder
yoursite/theme/frontend/
Copy cosmic folder and rename it with the name which you had given in admin while creating style.
Also rename folder inside this folder cosmic to new folder name.
Now you can change the html
yourfolder/template/template.html.php
You can also change the CSS
frontend\yourfolder\style\yourfolder\css\custom.css
Activate your theme
http://yousite.com/index.php?do=/admincp/theme/
And make your theme default
Hope this will helps you.
Firstly, you tell us what exactly you want to modify or change. For instance if you want to change user profile head information, you should find the related template file from module "user".
Anyway before doing it I suggest you to backup the original files.
If you want just to create a template with new styles, then do as KESHU VAT's way.
I can't find a answer for this, I want to know what is the best way to have an alternative layouts for articles in Joomla.
If I understand you correctly you are looking for a way to create additional Alternative Layouts for articles. Under parameter tab "Article Options":
If that is the case, its very close to the other provided answers here. Its just that you got to rename the copied default.php file to something else. If you rename it to custom.php it will end up with the text "custom" like the image above.
Here goes my shot for a step by step:
Find the default layout file(s). You could use the ones provided by the com_content component. They can be found at components/com_content/views/article/tmpl. Copy both default.php and default_links.php.
Now you need to rename and copy the file(s) into a template. The target template can be any of the installed templates. Using beez_20 the new path for the copied file(s) should be templates/beez_20/html/com_content/article/custom.php and templates/beez_20/html/com_content/article/custom_links.php.
Goto to edit article using the backend. Expand the Article Options tab and find Alternative Layout. Select your new layout.
Your template might already provide a article override. If so, you might want to use the files of that template instead (instead of the ones in step 1). So if you are using beez_20, you could copy templates/beez_20/html/com_content/article/default.php and templates/beez_20/html/com_content/article/default_links.php.

Using Joomla’s Template and Layout Override
Layout overrides in Joomla 1.6
The best way to do this would either to install another content component - such as k2 which is highly customizable. Or any other content component on JED.
Alternatively you could create a template override on the existing Joomla Template. This is preferable to editing the files directly in com_content component as the template overrides will never be overwritten whereas the core files will be in any Joomla Updates. I should add, hopefully unnecessarily that this requires Joomla 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 2.5 or 3.0 (although this is still in beta as of present). So make sure you're not using 1.0.
To create an alternative layout for the built in articles component the best way to do it is probably to create a template over-ride.
See this article on docs.joomla.org on "How to override the output from the Joomla! core"
Creating an alternative for an article layout is pretty straight forward. You can achieve this by using the core layout override with your published template(s).
First you want to get/copy the core article layout file:
components/com_content/views/article/tmpl/default.php
Then place it into your published template:
templates/YOURTEMPLATE/html/com_content/article/default.php
If the template you are using doesn't have the html folder, then you will have to create that folder and each folder to make that path correct.
Once you have this in place, all you need to do is make changes to that default.php file you have just place in the template and that is it!
