Open cart product page goes blank upon theme upload (vQmod on) - opencart

Here's the scenario:
Fresh install of Open Cart. Fresh install of vQmod. Everything is working fine. But when I upload certain theme - purchased and licensed - the site has an issue. The home page is working, but the product page goes blank.
I have tried all possible combinations of OpenCart and vQmod versions (except for 2.0 for OC because the theme doesn't support it yet). I am out of ideas.
Edit: After showing all errors as adviced I finally saw the reason : "oc_product_tab' doesn't exist"

I found a solution. It turned out that the "Extra Product Tabs Opencart Extension" is missing. This is a standart free plugin that comes with template theme but it wasn't configured. It turnes out that the theme works with it.
Go to system>users>user groups and select all for both access and modify. Save. Than go to Catalog menu and click on Extra product tabs. Click Insert and add the module. That’s it. It’s a standard opencart module which is free for use.

How to install the OpenCart 2.3 extension?

I'm trying to install an extension of the Bling platform in my OpenCart application, I know they have forum, but the material is scarce. So I came here. I downloaded the package and followed the steps of the installation, extracted the files and placed in the folder indicated by the documentation.
So I went to OpenCart to install the extension, but I did not find the file there, do I need to update something? Do I need to change the structuring of folders? If anyone can help me, I'll be happy.
Any suggestion?
You can get more info here:
Module Development OpenCart
Log into your OpenCart Dashboard.
Go to Extensions > Product Feeds.
Click on “Install” next to the “Google Site Map” product feed name.
Click “Edit” and then change the status to “Enabled”
Copy the “Data Feed URL” and click “Save"

Error installing new theme in opencart 2

I am new to opencart and I am using opencart version 2.3.0.2 and working on xampp localhost.
I tried to install new theme (simplica free theme) by copying the theme files(catalog, system ) to my project folder which already have those 4 folders(admin,catalog,image,system). So it merges with those 2 folders.
When I go back to my backend extensions>extensions and select modules, I can't see any new module. Under extension>extension>themes, I can only see my default theme. also under system>setting>mystore, I can only see default store theme under theme option.
Did I do anything wrong? or what should I do to install a new theme?
Please help. Thanks in advance
I found the solution, hope this may help someone with similar problem.
I had to go to extensions>extensions then select themes then had click edit button of the default store theme. Under general> theme directory, I was able to select my theme.

Unable to preview in content editor - Sitecore

I have added 2 pages in the content tree - index & Home Page. It was working fine until yesterday. Unable to preview 'index' in the Content editor (CE) now.
The error message is -
The requested document was not found
However, when I do Tools > Browse > Preview, from Sitecore Rocks, it opens fine. Also, I am able to preview 'Home Page' in CE without issue.
Following Mike's Solution Here, I tried to add the user 'Everyone' and removing 'extranet/Anonymous'. But the changes never Save.
Why does it happen to this page alone. No changes made to web.config and I am using only master DB.
UPDATE:
Here is what I have observed.
When 'index' is placed outside the 'en' folder, it can be previewed. Someone suggested that Sitecore is confused by the folder name with its languages. But renaming it to Test-en, also did not work.
I also tried this. Created 'index' outside 'en' folder. Then created a copy of the same inside the 'en' with the name 'index1'. I can preview index1 now, but if 'index' is deleted, it's the same issue again.
I have seen this happen a few times. On a new instance, I don't believe it is permissions, especially if you are using SIM to install (if you aren't - try it!)
Follow these steps and it should fix your issue. Make sure all instances of your browser are closed. They are known to keep hidden instances running. Stop all those tasks. Restart your IIS instance. Log Into your sitecore site with the magical password. Preview the page. You should be able to preview and in fact get the Experience Editor.
I do agree that Sitecore is confused as to the state of that it is logged in as, that is why it is important to close all browser instances.
If you still get this error, clear your logs. Do the above steps and send me your logs. I will look at them for any oddities.
Happy Sitecoring!

Sitecore Upload Media from Page editor doesn't work

I am a new bee to Sitecore and here comes my first challenge at work.
In one of the website component, I want to add an image.
For this in content editor:
I'll click on browse.
Switch to folder view.
Navigate down to the folder you want to save into.
Click upload media on top left.
Click ‘Browse for media files’ and navigate to the image on the local drive and select it.
Enter alt-text and click upload media.
In Chrome the green bar for uploading never seems to finish. On IE one of the green bars changes to ‘Upload complete’. At this point there is no call to action to add the image to the module, select the module – you just don’t know what to do next.
Eventually you have to click ‘Back’ or ‘close’. Then when you go to find the image it is not in the folder you selected. It is in Upload folder. We cannot keep all of our files in ‘Upload’. We need to be able to upload into a chosen folder.
I am using Sitecore 7.2.
This works properly in a base site in Sitecore 7.2, but is not working in my website.
Is there any setting I need to change to make this work properly?
I know we can add media files into Media library directly and can use it. But we want to do it the using the above mentioned steps/ or using Page editor. The main problem is, this doesn't work while adding image from Page editor.
Hope I can get some solution!
many thanks!
I looked at the Release Notes for Sitecore 7.2 and found that there were several bugs related to Media Uploads that were resolved in Update 2 (140526), including some that relate to choosing the destination of uploaded media. From your description of the issue and the bugs that were fixed in Update 2, it sounds like you may only need to update to Revision 140526.
To find out what revision of Sitecore you are using, go to the Sitecore Desktop -> Start Menu -> Control Panel -> Administration -> Show About Sitecore Information. As you will see in the screenshot, below, there is a parenthesized revision number at the top. If that number is not 140526 then you should try to apply Update 2 to your instance.
Note that this screenshot is of an instance that is not running on Sitecore 7.2 Update 2, but is instead running on the initial release (140228).

Sitecore menu items not working - javascript errors

So I'm just starting to work in sitecore and for some reason none of menu options are working in Page Editor mode for the site that I'm working on. We pretty much have the sitecore website and add some extra page content (MVC app files) to it. I'm getting a variety of javascript errors.
In content Editor, if I click the Sitecore logo and click on Properties I get
TypeError: contentIframe.dialog is not a function
In page editor if I click on the blue components button I get:
TypeError: i.widget is not a function
I'm guessing maybe it's a conflict between jquery that we're using for this website and whatever Sitecore is using. I think it's 7 - but I can't see it via the menu option :)
That guess could be wrong - it could in fact be a browser issue, but I've ensured Firefox is not blocking popups. It doesn't work in Firefox, IE or Chrome though.
The weird thing is that no one else on the project is having this issue it's only on my computer.
Edit - I've also just tried re-installing (7.2) without any local code changes I still can't click on a page and go to Presentation, Details (Layout) - I get a TypeError: contentIframe.dialog is not a function
Edit 2 - I've noticed that I can use sitecore in the QA environment and the dialogs work fine there. So it's something specific to my local build of the site we have (sitting on top of sitecore). But the dialogs just throw jquery errors when I do stuff locally. I was hoping it would be a browser setting but doesn't look like it.
Edit 3 - What I've tried this morning.
Same thing happens in all browsers (FF, IE, Chrome) and I’ve cleared
my browser cache I can access the QA site and the dialog appears as
expected
Copied across the QA site files, pointed my local Digital
site in IIS to the new folder – dialogs don’t work
Team member tried accessing the site from his machine (pointing to my IP address) and
dialogs work for him
I tried seeing if another local sitecore site dialogs were working – but the menu items for that are opening as new windows (so I’m guessing it’s a sitecore 7.2 feature that they appear as jquery dialogs??)
So after googling for rejected-by-urlscan it turns out there's a program called UrlScan from microsoft that was blocking my dialogs. Uninstalled that and I now have dialogs appearing for sitecore. Very exciting :)
I guess it is a problem with some browsers plugin. Sitecore is sensitive to scripts that are used(different versions of jquery or prototype.js). Plugins can inject scripts to HTML source of pages and it can cause errors.
Try to switch off all plugins at least at one browser and check the results.
