sharepoint 2013 custom site template not showing up on subsite - sharepoint-2013

I have a sharepoint 2013 subsite called 'projects' where all its projects are subsites that were created by a site template.
I wanted to make changes to the template so I created a new 'project' subsite using the template, made the changes and saved that subsite as a new site template.
Now, when I'm trying to create new project subsites I only see the old site template but can't see the new one.
I've checked the solution gallery and they are both appearing there in active state.
Any I ideas what went wrong here?
Thanks.

I found the solution: if I want to allow the use of site tamplates in subsites I need to enter their site settings and into 'Page layouts and site templates' and add the requested site template to the allowed list of site templates.
I can't believe the option was in front of me on the screen and I didn't see it...

You have to activate the Publishing feature on the root and on the affected site.

The Option for that setting is not there anymore. Don't know since when but I just had the same issue not being able to use a custom template for a new Site Collection.
-Template is present in solutions gallery
-Custom tab is not being displayed when I want to select a template for the newly created site
-In the site settings of the newly created site there is no Option "Page layouts and site templates" in the looks & feel section

How to Change Apache Superset Template from the Superset User Interface?

The Apache Superset UI has a CSS template tab, which can be used apparently to edit and change the UI skin.
I tried editing the the CSS sheet but nothing is changing, Am I missing something?
What will be the best way to change Apache Superset skin.
The Superset documentation is a bit sparse and I was unable to find clear instructions on how to do this. I'm leaving an answer that will hopefully save others time.
Note: tested on Apache Superset v0.22.1
Creating a CSS template
Login to Superset with an account that has admin privileges
Go to Manage. Then CSS Templates. This will take you to a page showing all the available templates.
Create a new CSS template by clicking the + icon in the top right.
Specify the Template Name and Css. Click Save.
Applying a CSS template
How it works in Superset is you manually apply the templates to dashboards. So with that in mind ...
Go to the dashboard whose CSS you'd like to change
Click Edit Dashboard. It should be available in the top right. If you can't see the Edit Dashboard button then that means you don't have the required privileges to make any changes to the dashboard.
Click the Actions dropdown button and go all the way down to Edit CSS. This will allow you to access all the templates that you'd created previously in step 1. Select the template you want. During the selection process, the CSS will be applied automatically and you can get a preview of how it's going to look.
Once you have selected a template. Go back to the Actions dropdown button but this time click Save to save your changes.
That's all there is to it!

SharePoint 2013 Wiki Site template missing

I'm trying to create a new Wiki Site in SharePoint 2013 and I'm following the guide here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint-server-help/create-a-wiki-HA010226177.aspx#BM2
So I go to Site Settings -> Sites and Workspaces -> Create. On this page you specify the title, url, etc for your new site. In the Template Selection section there is supposed to be a Wiki Site template under the Collaboration tab according to the above guide. However, the only templates I see are Team Site, Blog, Project Site and Community Site. There is also an Enterprise tab with some more templates underneath it, but no Wiki Site.
How can I create a Wiki Site in SharePoint 2013?
Go to Site settings > Page layout and site template settings > Subsite templates
Check the box marked "Subsites can only use the following site templates"
Add the templates and try to create your wiki site again

Joomla : how to create a Wrapper (iFrame) in tthe Backend Khepri Template

Hello freinds I need help as to how can I add 2 iFrames in the Joomla's Default Back-end Template Khepri.
I want to show the Hosting cPanel and also another application's Control Panel in these iFrames.
Kindly help.
The correct way to do this is to add a new module to the admin. Log in to your Joomla admin then select Extensions > Module Manager > Administrator.
This will get you to the modules manager for the administrative area. It works just like the front end. Click New module, then select Custom HTML and put your iFrame code in there.

Customizing the SharePoint 2010 Blog Template

I want to apply branding to a sharepoint 2010 blog site which is a sub site of our internet. I'm trying to achieve this by creating a custom blog site template based on the original blog site template. So I followed the following blog post.
http://www.sharepointbits.com/blog/sharepoint-2010-custom-site-templates.html
And I got a copy of the blog template files from "C:...\14\TEMPLATE\SiteTemplates\blog", modified the files and put in to the "SiteTemplates\" folder.
I can see a new site template has been created but every time when I create a web site based on my custom template it uses the original blog template files for provisioning (for ex: default.aspx).
Is this the correct way to achieve this? Please let me know if I'm doing sth wrong here.
Thanks in advance.

Have you created a custom webtemp file in 14\TEMPLATE\1033\XML that has a custom Template Name with a SetupPath that points to your copied folder in SiteTemplates?
Also, the Blog site definition is tricky. The custom lists are built right into the onet.xml file. I wonder if creating a custom copy of the Blog template will work as well as copying other site types would. I would probably use feature stapling to apply custom branding to the out of the box Blog template within your site collection.

How to get Site Template Back?

I have saved a site as tempalte (i.e. MyMarketing.stp) and added to sharepoint server using stsadm addtemplate command and after few days lost MyMarketing.stp file. Now it is available for creating top level sites as well. I want to get this site template back as MyMarketing.stp file. Is it possible to extract it from the server as MyMarketing.stp file?
Thanks and in advance!
Regards,
Asher
Create an new site based on the template, then use http://SITEURL/_layouts/savetmpl.aspx to save the site in it's own site template gallery. you can now download the .stp file from that gallery.
Alternatively you could use SharePoint designer to export the site as a template.
