I have a big cartel website - Im trying to add a 'leave a note' section before payment but with absolutely no knowledge about html etc im finding it very difficult.
I know I have to go into custom mode and edit it but cant seem to find out what to input?
Any ideas?
Thanks
Unfortunately there's not currently a way to include a "notes" section for your customer with Big Cartel, even with customization. Right now your only option is to use PayPal for checkout and take advantage of the Notes To Seller field they provide.

How we can create content section in xcart like we create in wordpress via widget ? is there any option like this ? i want to make home page with 4 section with image content and link them to particular page .
This differs depending on X-Cart version. There are two major versions now: X-Cart 4 and X-Cart 5. They are very different and in order to give you any advice it is better to now what X-Cart version you are using.
Alex Mulin is right, it's kinda difficult to answer your question without such specific info as your X-Cart version. Yet I'll try to. In both cases the webmaster mode can help you do the trick. See video tutorials below.
Webmaster mode in X-Cart 4 :

Webmaster mode in X-Cart 5:

If they don't work for you for some reason, try to ask the same question but be a bit more specific, or at least provide the store URL and I will be able to check the version.
What you are trying to do is skin-dependent and each skin has its own sections.
In order to find the files that you need to edit, go to Admin Panel>Settings>General Settings>Enable debugging console and check its box.
When checked, if you open your store, it opens a popup that that shows you the smarty templates loaded (make sure your browser does not block popups).
You can then change the smarty template files in order to add whatever you want. If you are not familiar with them, they are basically extended HTML files with some basic commands (if/for/etc.) and you can get stuff from PHP files in them as well. You can use xcart webmaster mode to edit those files too as mentioned by other answers.
This video can also be useful for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vN__DZrNrRM (X-Cart - Storefront Design and Layout)
And here's some XCart documentation on how to customize store front and skins:

I want to add direct link with filter_date_added=(DATE(NOW()) in Dashboard in Opencart's Administration to orders page.
I'm not a programmer and if somebody can help me with this I'll be very grateful.
If you a not a programmer may I suggest you searching the modules on OpenCart modules forum. Alternatively you can edit the order_sales.tpl in view/templates and simply add a column inside that and pull the variable from the PHP module.
The archiecture is found in
admin\controller\sale\order.php
admin\model\sale\order.php
admin\view\template\sale\order_list.tpl
admin\language\english\sale\order.php
http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route=extension/extension/info&extension_id=14230
There is a module out there that allow you to do this for country, viewing sales by country. Maybe you can download and play around with it and try to experiment. It will only help you to become a better programmer.
Being new to Joomla I do not know all the tricks for troubleshooting etc. Currently I have a page that has a section of content on it. The content is created by DT Register but I've been through the CP several times and cannot find the section?
I hope someone is up and can share with me how to track down where pieces of content come from so I can find where this is being generated and change as needed.
The page in question is a DT Register form. I can locate and modify every section of the page EXCEPT one.
The section is titled USER INFORMATION and captures userid & password to create an account. Looking at the element in developer tools it would appear it is part of the dt register generated code but as I mentioned I can't find it.
The sandbox I am playing in is here: http://take7.lamplighterguild.com/index.php/register?eventId=15&controller=event&task=individualRegister
The section is towards the top and is hard to read on the page...which is why I want to find it.
Thank you for any help or direction.
So unfortunately my question was poorly worded. I have no trouble at all getting the css changed. It is the origin of the content that I am really trying to track down. Where does it come from etc. Is there a way to detect if it came from an article, or a component, etc. I thought there might be clues as how to figure that out.
For troubleshooting issues like this, tools like Firebug or Web Inspector for Chrome and Safari are your go to tools. If you aren't already familiar with them you'll find lots of help online.
There is default body text styling of colour #D9A362 getting into your page from one of the stylesheets. I can't find the source quickly myself, though it's easy enough to write an override.
One place you could do this is open http://take7.lamplighterguild.com/templates/theme1001/css/template.css with a text editor. Below the existing body rule # line 7, add something like
body.cssstyle-style1{
color:black;
}
This will fix the H2 text at the top of the page which you mention, plus the 'user information' line immeadiately above the form.
Hope this helps!
EDIT
You have something which is writing the following style to your page head and this is the culprit:
body {font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:13px; line-height:21px; color:#D9A362; }
It's even on your home page so it's not necesaarily related to DT Register. To me it looks like it's coming from your menu extension.
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.

The unnecessary new user mistakes I'm having to revert on the wiki are getting annoying.. Is there any way for me to preload their User:Username with instructions on finding any help they may need and links to places to ask questions, further-more, is there any way to require new users to make three User:Username / User_talk:Username / User_talk:SomeAdmin page edits before editing other pages?
I don't know how to force it, but here is a trick I use:
Download and install the MyVariables extension.
Create a template to use it called {{User name}} - code below.
Include this template in a welcome message on your main page. The user will then see either Welcome <their name> if they have filled it in or Welcome enter your user name if they have not.
Two points on this template:
if they have not entered their name, the text links to a page explaining how to do that (you will need to create this),
if they have entered their name, the text links to MY PREFERENCES where they can update their user data.
Of course, you can change this if that is overkill.
The code:
{{#if:{{CURRENTUSERREALNAME}}|[[MY PREFERENCES|{{CURRENTUSERREALNAME}}]]|[[How to create your user profile on this wiki|enter your user name]]}}<noinclude>
<Add text here explaining the template, or just link to this stackoverflow page!>
[[Category:Template]]
</noinclude>
Another "trick" I've used is using the NewUserMessage extension to ask users to add this information.
Since I have no power to install/remove extensions on this wiki, I had to go with what I have. The wiki has Extension:InputBox installed.. So, I set up Template:Welcome, created a preload, and set up MediaWiki:Welcomecreation with a simple button that does most of the heavy lifting so to speak... It does not actually force anything, but gives all of the needed information and has a similar final output to what I was looking for.
