Opencart store page and links - opencart

I have locally installed opencart into the ".../shop" part of my website. Now I want to fit my site header and footer to appear around the site.
Please can people help advise the best way of doing this. I have a header.php and footer.php included on ever page of my site but am not clear how to implement this on the shop page.
I am thinking that there is going to be conflicts especially linking to other pages via the shop section. Will the hrefs in my header in the shope section need to direct differently?

You'd want to goto your catalog/view/theme/default/template/common/header.tpl and footer.tpl and make the changes.

How to hide the template name?

this is my local site: drupaltest1/
When I/anyother developer inspect my site they can recognize which theme I am using. I want to hide the theme being displayed on inspect elements an display the site name in the path. I searched google, but no luck. Anyone please help in achieving this.
Thanks in advance
You could change the name of the theme to your sitename.
in sites/all/themes/ copy your theme folder and rename the folder
then replace the theme name in .info file and use find/replace in template.php and any other theme specific files as well. (notepad++ search in files works well)
upload and enable the new theme in Drupal
If you are not using a custom theme for your site, be sure to check the licensing/copyright to ensure renaming it isn't a violation - and updates may have issues so you could remove the project info and/or packing script info.
If you can create a sub-theme, then you would be able to hide those info(s) from being inspected your site pages.
Please reply if this helped you.

Dreamweaver type templates in Aptana

I am designing a very small website using basic HTML. I usually use a CMS but it has been a while since I did just HTML files, I was wondering if there was some sort templating where you can have like areas like a "Master template" and when a section is changed or added to the rest of the HTML pages that have those sections change with it. Like a common header and footer so I don't have to make the changes in each page if I need to make a change to an element.
I am using AptanaStudio 3 and was wondering if there was a feature like that as there is in Dreamweaver. I don't have Dreamweaver installed on my new computer, so taht is not an option.
Thanks in advance
You can try server-side includes (SSI): http://www.htmlgoodies.com/beyond/webmaster/article.php/3473341/SSI-The-Include-Command.htm

AdSense with OpenCart

After hours upon hours of searching through stackoverflow and AdSense forums, i am not able to find anything to help me implement my google adsense code in my opencart template.
Originally i put the code in the welcome module hoping it would show up on the top of each page but this did not work at all.
I found an extension called KINZA which was free but once installed, this simply outputs the javacript code on my website and not the actual ad.
My question is this: I would like to have one of my ads up top across the page and maybe one on the sidebar as a thin skyscrapper size. How would one do this ? Where in my opencart template would i implement the code ?? I do not want to spend money on an extension to get this to work. I would rather just dive in the code and paste it where it needs to be.\Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
Thank you !
there are 6 files that are included in every page of frontend
catalog/view/theme/your_theme/template/common/header.tpl , footer.tpl , column_left.tpl , column_right.tpl , content_top.tpl , content_bottom.tpl
you can put your code in any one of these and it should work fine
you can make a module for adsense so that you can control its layout and position from admin .... here is a guide of to make/duplicate a module at opencart forums http://forum.opencart.com/viewtopic.php?t=6696
Opencart 3 onwards does not support google adsence you can not show ads just go for wordpress or any other

Opencart module development - Inject javascript/html code in some pages

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.

Include a page in the template script in magnolia cms

How can I include a page from magnolia into a magnolia template script?
In the template script with I can access data from a specific page, but how can I load that page into the template?
Let's say I have 2 pages each with its own template. Page 1 contains in its tree page 2. I want to include in the template script of page 1, page 2, but doesn't work.
Thank you very much :)
UPDATED
What I actually want to do is include my header in all of my project's pages. But I don't want to put it as a paragraph, because if I ever want to change my header, I'll have to edit all the project's pages.
So what I try to do and I don't know if this is the correct approach is to create a page template for the header. This template won't include any , or css, it's just the code for the header.
The next thing I want to do is create a page in magnolia with that model to be the header.
Next I'd like to include the page I've just created in my main template model for the project, but I can't figure how to do that.
I am new to Magnolia cms and initially I tried creating my demo site using stk. The only problem was that I couldn't use jsp as a scripting language, or at least I couldn't find any solution on the internet. I don't really know freemarker, but that's not really a big problem. I'm really reluctant in using freemarker because maybe in the future in a more complex project I might need some features that freemarker doesn't support, but jsp does. I'd like to build my site using jsp if that's possible with magnolia.
I'm sorry for this long update, but if anyone has any suggestions on what a best practice could be and if I could implement what I want in jsp I would be really grateful.
Thanks again for you time :)
If you're using the STK then see this guide on content-reuse.
If not have a look at the cms tag-lib, especially the tags cms:loadPage and cms:setNode with which you can get a piece of content and set it as a JSP/JSTL variable and then render it using cms:includeTemplate.
A common scenario is to 'inherit' content from the parent page, the header is an excellent example of this. What you do is for an area you walk up the content hierarchy and render everything from the parent pages in their area with the same name. This way the header which you've only added to the top page is included in all its children.
Another option is to a have special page which simply holds things to be included in other pages. Like header, footer and banners that should go in the side pane of some pages.
Including a page within another page doesn't really work. Page 2 already has its own <html> tags, its own <script> tags, and its own CSS, so including it wholesale into another page just simply doesn't make sense.
You do, however, have a couple of options:
Use an iframe. This will allow you to include the entirety of Page 2 in a region of Page 1.
More recent versions of Magnolia will allow you to render an individual paragraph, which you could then include in another page. (For example, you can see a single paragraph from http://demopublic.magnolia-cms.com/demo-project/about/subsection-articles.html at http://demopublic.magnolia-cms.com/demo-project/about/subsection-articles/article/main/0.html.) This requires knowing a bit about the way the data is structured, but is a pretty useful way to be able to selectively extracts bits of a page.
You can use the Magnolia API in your model class to pull data from sub-pages, and then make it available to your view template. This is the approach the STK uses to build teasers that include content from the pages they reference, and is probably the most powerful and flexible approach, but it does require actually writing some Java code. (See http://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/templating/stk/templating.html and http://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/reference/templating.html for details of how to use this approach.)
(Added after question was edited) The footer functionality that's included with the STK does almost exactly this. You might be interested to take a look at that and see how it's implemented there.
Hope that helps a bit!
