How to create customization theme in opencart - opencart

I have developed one ecommerce website in opencart with its inbuilt functions but now I am trying to display any four products on home page and I am not able to do that. I am trying to create function in opencart but my function is throwing server error.
Please anyone give me solution.

You can use built-in "Featured" module (Extensions >> Modules >> Featured) to display any intended numbers of products on Home page (or any other pages).
Don't try to make any changes before you are familiar enough with the core code of opencart.

Can't see any products in opencart admin panel

I made website in opencart, there were some demo products, ive seen them in admin as well as on frontend.
I renamed them all to the same name for placeholder purpose.
Suddenly they all dissapeard from admin but not from frontend.
After i added new product with different name, it showed on the frontend but not admin.
I deleted all products tru database, hoping it will fix it. I added new product. Product showed up on frontend but not in admin.
I have no idea whats wrong.
I dont have any filters tuned on.
Opencart is version 2.3.0.2
Do you know what can cause this problem ? Im working with OC for a long time and never experienced anything like this. Thank you

Need help to add front-end on slatwall eCommerce

I am trying to build the eCommerce store by using Slatwall and lucee. Slatwall is the ColdFusion based eCommerce framework. The admin part is working fine. But I could not create the user side. I also referred the slatwall documentation. But no luck I couldn't seen any clear example and document for adding the front end on slatwall. If anyone knows help me please?
Slatwall frontend document
As OP says, SlatWall has excellent $upport, that's where they make a living. You now have three choices for a front end:
1) Slatwall latest versions have their own integrated CMS now. I'd recommend you export your product info, install the latest Slatwall, import the data back in.
2) Load MuraCMS, an Open Source Content Management (i.e. front-end) system that has integration to Slatwall (or the other way round, IIRC)
3) Roll your own in ColdFusion after learning ins and outs of the Slatwall api. Not recommended unless you're already CF experienced and have some previous experience with an api, any api.
For completeness I am going to answer this question even though its months old, for anyone else that views this.
You have a couple options here but the easiest way:
There is a complete example of a fully implemented Slatwall site including product listing pages, shopping-cart, and checkout included with Slatwall.
You may view the sample site by visiting http://{yourslatwallsite}/meta/sample
On the sample site, you can choose from the menu to view your products, add them to your cart, or checkout. Make sure your products are both active and published in the admin or you will not see them on the sample site. If you go through the .cfm pages that makeup the sample site, there are many examples documented (as comments in the code). Note that the actual .cfm files will be stored in /public/views/xxx.cfm and the meta folder just references them. /public/views/templates/slatwall-productlisting.cfm for example has complete examples on listing products on the frontend.
The sample site is powerful enough that you could restyle it and use it as your store

Django vs Django-CMS -business compare site

I've developing in django for the past few months and I find it extremely great.
My next project is a price-comparing site for local businesses - where each user can add business and comment on each.
The admin of the site won't be a programmer, but with basic knowledge in web and python.
Should I stick to the old familiar django or should I try it out?
Thanks :)
Matan.
django CMS is built on top of Django and meant to be integrated into existing Django applications or extended with new ones. So your question is flawed.
So instead ask yourself if you need CMS functionality (pages managed by your admins). It sounds like your main app (the compare bit) is better handled by a Django application, but maybe you want the site admin to be able to easily edit the About Us page etc, this is where django CMS could come in handy.

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

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.

Magento how to make my own admin based custom template?

I am newbie to the magento. I want to develop my own custom template in magento. Where I would like to have some custom settings from admin panel to change the looks of the theme like change colour or to upload logo etc.. So can someone kindly tell me is there any documentation available or any referenced link? Any help and suggestions will be really appreciable.
Have a look at this link http://www.silksoftware.com/magento-module-creator
Near the bottom you have the Magento System Configuration section, with this you can create a module to handle all your admin settings for your entire site. This is by far the best way to learn how to setup modules, especially complicated ones that involve admin settings.
There will however be plugins for what you want so check on Magento connect first, and there are some free themes for older Magento installs that include similar custom plugins for customizing the themes you can use as a potential reference if you can dig them up (sorry I don't have any examples to hand as I used bought themes to learn from).
