How can I format article's layout...
For example I would like to display the first image on top under the title but, on the left of the text I would like a column with the date, hits, author name and pic, and any other stuff I like to have there...
Is it posible?
Thanks again for your time and help.
You could check out Joomla overrides. Here's one link to get you started:

Hope this helps!
For what I understood of your question, you can easily do this with CSS classes - use google chrome to inspect the code.
Also, there is a amazing component called Modules Anywhere that you can use to insert any module inside your articles page.

First of all, sorry for my bad english.
I started to use the Dream Template and I added some changes on the template files and in the custom.css to make the site like I want to.
But I am facing a problem.
Image of my actual navbar
This is how my menu looks like, the problem is that I need that 3 of the sub categories of the menu have each one a different background than the rest of them.
The 3 Sub-Categories I need to change
I need that these three be different from all the others, but how i do that if I don't see the menu on the HTML Editor, and I cannot edit that on the header.php of the template?
So Microweber Support have answered to me and showed me how to do it.
U can style using the data-item-id atribute on CSS (I never have learned about it)
So i will leave this topic here for people that can face the same problem than i haved.
Thanks a lot guys.
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.

I'd like to list all active products (from all or a specific category) in a template. I've looked almost everywhere and I simply cannot find a way to do this.
I want to display them in the footer of the shop (10 products from 1 category). That means show them without selecting product category.
Is this even possible? Products are only listed in the category template...
I'm using Satchmo 0.9.2
EDIT: Somehow I've missed this:
http://www.satchmoproject.com/docs/dev/customization.html
So it's solved...
Thank you!
this is a more general answer since there isnt any answer yet, so dont beat me. You also have to know that I never used satchmo, I never had a look at it.
But despite this, if I had to deal with your situation, I would have a look at the source code.
You might find answers there to develop something custom for your situation. This can be a tricky task but at least its worth a try.
There have to be models which store the data for your product and categories. Have a look at them and the views that retrieve the products from the database to render them. Also a look into the database cant hurt (think of phpmyAdmin to have a nice webbased interface).
It can be helpful to fire up your ./manage.py shell, import your/satchmos product and category models and play around with them.
A possible solution then could be to write a custom context_processor which retrieves the needed products/categories and passes these products from a category to your footer on a more global basis. Have a look here https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/ref/templates/api/#writing-your-own-context-processors. Maybe a custom middleware could also be a possibility. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/middleware/#writing-your-own-middleware
I hope this helps. At least worth a try :)
I want to create a page in Joomla that displays only one specified module on a page and nothing more. I was trying to insert module in an article but it's not working because plugins are also adding content to an article, and I don't want to turn them off. MAybe I should create a template with a new position, and override default template on that specific page but maybe there's a better solution. Any ideas?
Joomla is coded to either expect an article or the output of a component on every page. I don't completely understand why you can't just insert a blank article with the {loadposition module_position} code unless your plugins are automatically generating content for articles. I'm used to plugins that only work when their plugin code is added to an article. Anyway, assuming that your plugins are automatically adding content to your Joomla articles, then the simple solution might be to add a new component like Zoo and use the "Pages" app to create a blank/no-title item that contains the {loadposition xx} code, then link your menu item to that Zoo item.
Have you checked the parameters of the article? Those should allow you to turn off the title, author, icons, date, and other elements that may be appearing.
I think it can be possible by this condition in index.php
countModules('condition')) { ?>
do something
do something else
you can put what you want in this module and according to this condtion you have to only insert module name in countModules('your module Name') followed by bhe code in the braces. and for rest of pages you can put your code in the else part.
