I'm using CRE Loaded v6.2 B2B. It is a modified script of osCommerce.
In category page i see all the products with pagination. I want to add some dynamic text under each category. Text is unique for each category.
I should able to define the text from admin and it should display bottom of the category.
How to do this?
I mean which file i should edit? Is there any documentation available?
Thanks
There are many ways to achieve this. Probably the easiest is to add an extra text field in the category_description table. Then simply follow the trail of the category creation/editing/deleting process and add that field in the admin next to the other ones. Then you will be able to output the text dynamically on the front end of the store.
I have not used CRE Loaded in a long time, but this solution should still work.
I take it you mean to add the text in the categories listing?
There are two ways to do this, one is by editing the index.php and pulling in the category description as a blurb.
There other is to use CDS (content director system) in B2B to create custom page category listings which support blurbs and images and use the URL override to point to your product categories.

I added a WebPartZone in the master page at the top pf the master page, this web part zone is a message bar that will display on all the pages but could be different on each page. Is it possible to have a web part zone in the template that is editable on each page? Or is a different way to do it?
Thanks
The short answer no. From the template engine prospective whatever editable in the master - is not editable in its children. All editable web parts/widgets editable on the master, are not editable in its children.
If you really want to have an editable text in the master and all its children, you probably need to clone and customize web part and form control it is based on. Or create you own web part.
P.S. You can have editable text in your page template so all page that use this template will have this editable text working.
If you can give more details on what kind thing you want to edit would be easier to provide an answer
P.P.S. You can have a work around but it will not be with editable text. You will have to edit message text at the form tab. Would that suits you?
You can add the webpart on your master, and use a macro to get the content, like {%CurrentDocument.GetValue("Message")%}, but you have to add a field to each page to store the message in.
Just throwing out one more option, if what you want to display changes from page type to page type, you can put a repeater on the master page, put a path of a period (current document), then use macros to set the page type to the current document class name and the transformation to currentdocument.classname+".mastermessage"
Using a macro, then add a transformation "mastermessage" to each page type it will encounter, then you can change the fields and format for each page type.
I'm working on a webshop using OpenCart2.x. I would like to add category while I'm adding product and assign product to that category.
Just to clarify... Let's say I want to add "HTC One" to category "Android". I would like to go to Catalog > Product > Add Product, enter "HTC One" details and
if category "Android" dosen't exist OC should offer to create new category.
It is possible in wordpress/woocommerce so I hope it is possible in OC2.
Sorry if the question is not for this site.
Thank you!
No, this is unfortunately not possible in vanilla OpenCart. However, I did find somewhat of a trick to make this process a tad bit more convenient.
If you open your OpenCart admin panel in 2 different browser instances that use different sets of cookies (different browser or incognito/no cookie mode) you can make your categories in one instance and then the category auto complete list in your product creation page will instantly update. Not exactly the desired functionality but definitely better than having to switch back and forth.
Is there any way in Joomla2.5 to create Home/Landing Pages (ie. "default") pages for each category.
For example, I would like the user to be able to go to www.somejoomlasite.com/category1 and see a default home page for category1, and a different home page for category2 and so on. Is there any way to achieve this? Could I create an article under each category and set it's alias as index? or will I get an error about having duplicate aliases (even though they are under different categories)?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Please let me know if I need to provide further info.
An alias has to be unique within a category. So you should be fine using the same alias in different categories.
You should be able to achieve a structure like you described with menu items for each category. And of course SEF needs to be turned on with rewrite enabled.
The menu items don't need to be visible on the page, you can also create a "hidden" menu. Just don't show the accompagning menu module.
These menu items can be anything: a category list of the articles, an article itself, a featured list of articles in a category or whatever you like.
I am using Opencart v1.5.1.3.1
I want to be able to create a template which certain categories use. Cat1 would use the normal category.tpl file where cat2 would use category-cart.tpl
The category-cart.tpl would have extra functionality of displaying price options and an add to cart button which would normally only work on the products.tpl page.
I know that in order to make this happen I have to modify the category.php controller for category.tpl file.
The question is what do I change in the category.php controller to make this happen?
Add product with options to cart from category page http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route=extension/extension/info&extension_id=8649
You will need to make more changes than can be listed here, so you will need to familiarize yourself with the opencart framework to do what you want. As a starter if you look at the bottom of the category controller you will see what template is loaded. Do a search for template. You could put a if statement here that loads templates based on the value of the selected category.
You will then need to add more code to the controller which loads variables for price options and add to cart.

Check the above link and you will find out how to show the options
It should then look like this

I purchased a template / theme from RocketTheme, but I can't figure out how to add content at a specific position.
The templates have "module positions" that collapse. I'd like to add some content at one of the module positions.
If I add articles, they seem to go into "mainbody". But I'd like to have content in other areas of the template.
How do I take some text, images, or other content, and get them to display in these other positions (i.e., TOP-A, or FEATURE-A, etc)?
I've tried this
Go to Extensions->Module Manager
Select "New", Select "Sections"
Under "Details", I select Position->Top-A
I give it a title.
Nothing seems to happen. I don't see anything new exposed in the admin UI, and I don't see a way to get any content into this newly defined section. What am I not understanding?
go to JED and look up html in module or content in module or content in component there are a bunch of them. http://extensions.joomla.org/search?q=module+content&start=20
Essentially
you create and save an article. Make sure it is saved to a section or category on your menu
open the module one of the paramaters will ask for the article id...decide which position and which pages you want it on and then publish.
You can also get modules that will take some or all of your articles in a category and then show them either as a slidedhow or one randomly when someone visits the page
