I have several .cfm pages that make up my ColdFusion website.
In one of the .cfm page there is a variable/function used. This variable/function is named "RECREATE". I have checked that the current .cfm page does not have "RECREATE" defined. So, my question is how do I identify which cfm page is "RECREATE" defined??
Do a search in your source code for "recreate". Or if you have only "several" .cfm pages in the site... just look at them!
Your code, btw, should be engineered coherently enough that you can infer the location of code by what the code does, and how it is called. Sounds like you could do with some replanning / reorganisation?

I've inherited an opencart 1.5.5.1 site and am completely new to the cms. From what I've been able to gather, it was built by a competent developer but then went through a hack-it-up development team, and then on to me. So, I really don't know what all to expect from it.
I currently have a module that is rendering in the left sidebar and I don't know why it's rendering there. The only file I can find in the file stack related at all to this "module" is a single template file within the catalog directory structure called:
/catalog/view/theme/mytheme/template/module/affiliate_profile_select.tpl
All of the other installed modules on the site seem to have lots of other files associated with them, whose locations are verified by the research I've done on creating opencart modules: ie, module files in the following directories:
/catalog/controller/module/
/catalog/language/english/module/
/catalog/model/module/
/catalog/view/theme/mytheme/template/module/
/admin/controller/module/
/admin/language/english/module/
/admin/model/module/
/admin/view/template/module/
From what I've been able to find though, this single file (affiliate_profile_select.tpl) is the only file in the file stack that is associated with this module.
I can't find anything related to this module, and/or file, inside any of the vqmod php or xml files.
I can't find anything related to this module in the admin area. I've tried searching through all of the installed modules for other generic identifiers (the section view is rendering at the very top of the left-sidebar on most non-logged-in pages, so I'm looking for layout locations of "Left Sidebar" and positions less than 2), but haven't found anything.
And yet, the section is obviously rendering on the site, so it has to be there somewhere. In fact, it's rendering in two places. It's also in the top-content section of the mobile view of the home page.
Right now it's almost feeling like it was a module that had been written, installed, and configured, and then someone deleted all but one of the files associated with the module. Could a situation like that happen?
Is there any way to track this issue down by querying the database? Or would the template inclusion obviously be inside a file somewhere and I just need to find it? To complicate matters, the hosting company doesn't allow remote login with a console (from what I can tell). Otherwise I'd just have run a grep for the filename in case someone had just thrown an "include()" statement in somewhere. The only place I've checked for something like that so far was in the left-sidebar template file:
/catalog/view/theme/default/template/common/column_left.tpl
but it's just a simple for-loop that echoes out the module views.
Any help or direction on how I might be able to track this problem down would be of significant help.
In Opencart, .tpl (template) files are always called by controllers which as you probably guessed are in catalog/controller/. An if it's a module (showing in left sidebar position, it's probably going to be in catalog/controller/module/. First order of business would be to find the controller that's calling the template you referred to. I'd probably start by getting into a shell and doing something like this from the site's docroot:
grep -r affiliate_profile_select .
From there you should be able to find the associated module controller and any other logic involved. Sometimes people use vQmod to add something on to a pre-existing module so that can possibly explain the lack of other similarly named files.
I'm working with Coldfusion (because I have to) and we use iPlanet 7 (because we have to), and I would like to pass clean URL's instead of the query-param junk (for numerous reasons). My problem is I don't have access to the overall obj.conf file, and was wondering if there were .htaccess equivalents I could pass on the fly per directory. Currently I am using Application.cfc to force the server to look at index.cfm in root before loading the requested page, but this requires a .cfm file is passed, so it just 404's out if the user provides /path/to/file but no extension. Ultimately, I would like to allow the user to pass domain.com/path/to/file but serve domain.com/index.cfm?q1=path&q2=to&q3=file. Any ideas?
You can mod_dir with the DirectoryIndex directive to set which page is served on /directory/ requests.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_dir.html
I'm not sure what exists for iPlanet, haven't had to work with it before. But it would be possible to use a url like index.cfm/path/to/file, and pull the extra path information via the cgi.path_info variable. Not exactly what you're looking for, but cleaner that query-params.
In our ColdFusion application each request goes through index.cfm
Application.cfc decides form the query and form parameters which componetes the user is actually wanted. Those components are instantiated and the content is dropped through OnRequestStart.
Rather than always hit index.cfm with a query/form parameter, for simple cases, we would like to hit a "missing" cfm (i.e. MyApp.cfm) and allow the OnMissingTemplate function parse out the fact that we really want the content of a component (i.e. MyApp).
Another way to do this would be to actualy put cfm stub files in for "generic" calls to the components but it seems like with OnMissingTemplate we do not need to do that.
Is this a reasonable use for OnMissingTemplate?
That's a great use for onMissingTemplate. Just make sure that if you're using IIS, that you make sure that the files you're linking to are actually .cfm (MyApp.cfm) files, and not directories (/MyApp/). See these links for more information:

I've created a web browser using mfc and i'm using IHhmlReader to read the contents of html when the user enters a url in the browser and page is completely loaded.Now i want to check if the webpage has any flash in it.
Any Helps would be highly appreciated.
Thank You.
I think this is a bit difficult to do, just reading from the HTML source, unless you try to instantiate the page and see if it's making a call to the Flash object. I have listed some options you can try, but you'll need to make sure that the code element is not commented out and check include files and iframes to see if Flash is called from there.
* Look for the OBJECT and EMBED tags (see http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/127/tn_12701.html)
* In page's JavaScript, look for SWFObject() call
* Look for the call to .swf file (could even be in an img tag)
Good luck...
I am familiar with theming and using template hints in the Magento back office to locate .phtml files.
What I am not really familiar with are the core files such as app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Model
What I need to do is override a core file like I would a core phtml file by copying it to 'my theme'.
I basically want to amend some labels which appear on the order summary page of the Magento checkout process - domain.com/checkout/cart/
I followed the trail to the phtml files using template hints. Within the app/design/frontend/default/mytheme/template/checkout/cart I found the code
renderTotals(); ?>
Now I managed, by accident, to stumble upon two of the files I wanted to change:
/httpdocs/app/code/local/Mage/Sales/Model/Quote/Address/Total/Grand.php
/httpdocs/app/code/local/Mage/Sales/Model/Quote/Address/Total/Shipping.php
I made local copies of these files (http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/how_to/how_to_create_a_local_copy_of_app_code_core_mage) to override the default labels, like I would if I was overriding a template file.
My question is, how can you locate core files which pertain to the 'stuff' you want to change, located in function calls such as renderTotals(); ?> in the phtml files?
Not being able to pinpoint stuff like I can with template hints is slowing me down, and I am struggling to find a solution as I am not up on all the vocab surrounding Magento yet.
Hope this makes sense and thanks in advance!
From the same settings page where you turn on Template Path Hints, also turn on the "Add Block Names to Hints" setting. This will show you PHP class names such as: Mage_Sales_Model_Quote_Address_Total_Grand to which you can deduce the folder path (underscores represent a subfolder, and the last piece represents the file name).
If you're getting a block such as Mage_Sales_Model_Quote_Address_Total_Default then sometimes it just takes a little common sense to see that it's pulling in other files from the same folder (such as Grand.php and Shipping.php). But there are generally only a couple files in the same folder, so this is pretty easy to see.
As Sid Vel said, a good Search Project functionality is helpful. But if you find yourself looking at Abstract.php of some class, often you need to look in a subfolder in that directory with the proper name to find the concrete implementations. But still, it gets you very close to where you need to be.
I always use Dreamweaver's site / directory search function. It will scan through all the files in the Core folder and tell you where the function is from. In your case, I would search for "renderTotals". You need to enable PHTML editing in Dreamweaver.
Most IDE's will allow this kind of search option. In Aptana you can Ctrl + Click on the function to open the file it is coming from. Magento takes ages to index itself on Aptana, due to its sheer size.
