I am just starting to learn about Sitecore development. Following instructions from a tutorial, and instructions were to create a 'MVC Layout', however my local instance doesn't seem to show the option. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!
You could still use the same 'Layout' template to specify a cshtml file as layout. Sitecore will be able to identify the type of layout using the extension. Sitecore does not have a MVC specific 'MVC Layout" template.

I'm trying to create a netsuite bundle starting from a saved search and its template (an Advanced PDF/HTML Templates).
The problem is that during the creation steps I can see the saved search, but not the template.
Can anyone explain me why? Is there a visibility attribute to set in the template?
Thanks!
Advanced PDF Template is not yet supported in SuiteBundle.
Update:
I noticed that when I create a new advanced template by customizing a standard one, I can see the new template in the bundle creation process.
If I start from a "saved search", I don't...
It is weird, ins't it?
The project I'm working on is a new Sitecore 8 site build using MVC and with a demand for page-editor support. The simple fields are being addressed with the FieldRenderer.render() method, but there are also some droplink and multilist fields that need to be available in page editor.
In webforms you could use the sc:editframe control for that, but how can I get the same functionality while using Sitecore MVC?
Just an FYI in Sitecore 8.2 there is support for edit frames:
#using Sitecore.Mvc.Extensions
Then
#using(Html.EditFrame(...)) {...}
If not already, I highly recommend using GlassMapper to map your Sitecoce object to strongly typed objects in your code.
With Glass, you can then use the BeginEditFrame concept to replace the sc:EditFrame functionality of WebForms.
To take it a step further, look to implement edit frame buttons (this link is not Sitecore 8 specific, but the method to implement edit frame buttons is the same) in the core database to allow a very-friendly Experience Editor experience.
I am very new with Joomla, and I have to create a template for joomla 3.0 based on a design given.
I have read a lot of manuals and tutorials about "simple joomla" templates that explain how to organize the directory structure, xml file, index.php and so on.
But I don't see where we can define different layouts for different sections of the website, for example:
Layout for the home page
Layout for articles listing (on search for example)
Layout for the article itself.
I am sure there must be thousands of tutorials regarding that point, bu I simply cannot find it.
Thanks for any advice.
I think one of the concepts you may be missing is "Template and Layout Overrides".
Components (the elements of Joomla! that create the main section of any given page) control the layout of any of their views. To change these a template need to create a matching override for the specific view.
A similar process is used for "Modules" the smaller elements of a web page (e.g. side-bar advertising or widgets).
Have a read of these articles:
How to override the output from Joomla! Core
Understanding Output Overrides
Converting a template for Joomla! 3
You may also want to look at the "Joomla 3.x Template Overrides Example" that You!Joomla created a while back.
Finally given that Joomla! 3.0 is a Short Term Support version (and 3.1 is due any day and so on) you will probably be advised to use the "Template Overrides in Joomla! 3.0" forum for specifics.
If you look in Isis you will see an example of using conditions to change he layout, that is how the control panel is so differen than the rest of the admin. You can either do it all in one file or you can have separate files
I'm a beginner on Opencart and just started developing a module for Opencart which it must inject some lines of javascript and html code in these pages:
- Cart Page
- Product Page
- Confirmation Order Page
- Register form page
The official documentation doesn't have informations about how can i do that, I've tried to find a good documentation about OpenCart but I didn't find anything.
I need help. How can I do that?
Diggin necro topics;) :
The easiest way i think:
upload/catalog/view/theme/[themename]/template/product/product.tpl - here you can add your custom html for product page
[your theme name, you shouldnt overwrite default theme because it can cause damage after update]
It depends on where you're trying to insert the HTML/JavaScript.
Doing things the proper way in OpenCart, you're limited to the column-left, column-right, content-top, and content-bottom positions.
The files you'll need to create are:
admin/controller/module/mymodule.php
admin/language/english/module/mymodule.php
admin/view/template/module/mymodule.tpl
catalog/controller/module/mymodule.php
catalog/language/module/mymodule.php
catalog/view/theme/default/module/mymodule.php
To learn how to do this the first time, it's easiest to replicate an existing stock OpenCart module (preferably a simple one, such as information). Once you've replicated it you'll need to go through each of those files and replace any references to "information" with "mymodule".
After that, if you've done it properly, you should be able to navigate to Admin > Extensions > Modules and see your module in there. Then install it, use the "Add module" button to position the module on all the relevant layouts, hit save and hey presto you have a working module on the front-end.
To modify the front-end output, just edit catalog/view/theme/default/module/mymodule.php
If you want to insert your HTML somewhere other than the 4 available positions OpenCart gives you, position your module in the content-bottom position and use JavaScript/jQuery to inject some HTML where you want.
If this is for your own personal website then as Pawel S suggested it would be easiest to simply modify the relevant view files (ie. catalog/view/theme/[themename]/template/product/product.tpl), however if you're making a module which you plan to distribute then this should be a last resort.
Hope that helps!
I realize this is probably long dead by now, but if you're creating a module that needs to modify existing controllers, languages, models or views the correct tool to use is vQMod.
vQMod allows you to modify existing code on the fly using XML.

I am trying to use the ja_nickel template in my site. It can be previewed in:
http://www.joomlart.com/demo/#templates.joomlart.com/ja_nickel
I am trying to show my latest news in the top information block. It consists of title, thumbnail image and some text. So dun know which one module to use?
any idea will be helpful.
thank you.
Use the core Joomla! newsfeed option. It pulls from articles and organizes it by the latest article created via the timestamp.
