Why can't I get an override template to work? - php

I recently had a task dumped on me, all I need to do is add a link header to a template in joomla. I'm able to do this directly inside the default.php in
/modules/mod_articles_category/tmpl/default.php
but of course it shows up in any module that uses that template, which isn't acceptable.
I havn't touched joomla before yesterday and I'm suprised at how painful this has become!
I've been following tutorials, creating an override template in
templates/template_name/html/mod_articles_category/default.php
but I dont see any option to utilize this override template in the module options of the admin console.
I also tried creating a duplicate of the module itself with the link header simply added into the default.php file but don't have any option to have this module installed since there is no module manager extension, just barebones joomla 3. What I'd like to do is use the override template, since it seems like the simplest solution.
What am i doing wrong that I cant see any effect from my override template?

Rename the file templates/template_name/html/mod_articles_category/default.php to something custom like templates/template_name/html/mod_articles_category/linkInHeader.php then save it.
Go to your module manager and open that module. GO to Advanced tab & select linkInHeader in Alternative Layout dropdown. This should do the tricks.

overriding template in magento 2

I am new to Magento. I need to override a html file in a project. The project using an extension called 'Amitshree'. I need to override an email template created in this extension in my project. I need a step by step solution because I am not a magento developer. I went through some solutions in this platform, but couldn't resolve my task. The project is developed in Magento 2.
Email templates are located in different modules, let's say you want to override new order template.
Locate the phtml file, in that case
vendor/magento/module_sales/email/order_new.phtml
Copy it to app/design/frontend/[YourCompany]/[Your_Theme]/Magento_Sales/email.
Change whatever you want.

How to customize moodle core files?

I would like to customize view.php file which is the core file of moodle, since modifying it in core is not good practice I would like to modify it from my theme,
By default there is a cool theme, I just copy pasted the course directory into it and Try to customize it but moodle is not recognizing my directory.
What is the procedure to do this kind of customization, I check this link but unable to follow it since I don't understand. Can any one help me here about it?
Despite the fact that there are several view.php files, which one do you want to adapt?
Please note that you cannot simply overwrite for example course/view.php in your theme. You have to override the specific renderers, see https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Overriding_a_renderer
To override an url in Moodle you may use custom scripts. However if it's a matter of a renderer you should try overriding that first.

OpenCart VQmod Questions and Answers Module not showing

I have installed Opencart 2.0.3.1.
vqmod 2.5.1.5 for Opencart,
vqmod manager 3.0,
and ProductQuestionsAndAnswers_v1.8.2_oc2.0.x.x
These have all been uploaded manually via ftp, i've followed the simple instructions for vqmod's installation to rewrite part of the index.php and admin/index.php which seems to have created all of the required cache files.
The module is installed, enabled and visible in the modules section and in the vqmod manager, however when I try adding the module to the theme layout there is no option for this module.
Everything appears to be working fine other than for not being able to insert the module into a layout.
Not all modules for Opencart have that option to add it in a layout.A big portion of the modules in opencart are made by students or people that are learning to code most of the free modules don't even have that option. Now that we have this out of the way.
Other solutions to this problem.
If you are using a custom /admin panel lets say your admin is called bestbanana
You need to open the VqMOD xml file that is located in the VQmod/xml folder
and change all the values that contain admin to bestbanana
Or if you are using a custom theme that has different structure than the default opencart one,than you need to modify it a little bit more.
Since VqMOD works as a search engine it searches/replaces adds and so forth bu it searches by exact words. e.g peaces of code.
but without posting any code or something similar there is nothing much that anyone can help you with.
Hope that this will help you

Modifying Joomla html5 module chrome

I want to modify the module chrome for the Joomla custom html module. I understand that I can simply overwrite it or create an alternative chrome by creating a modules.php file in my template html folder. However, I have no idea where I can find the code for the existing, standard Joomla chromes so that I can modify them - does anybody know where the standard chrome php/html markup files are located or generated in the file system? Of course I could write it all from scratch in theory but I just want a slight variation to the existing html5 module and I would like to see how it is constructed to learn from it. Anybody got any clues where t can be found in Joomla 3.1? The documentation is sparse on the matter.
You can use the system modules.php file that comes with joomla as a starting point for your own module chrome. It is located under the templates/system/html/modules.php
For the custom html module overrides:
Copy the default.php file located under the /modules/mod_custom/tmpl/ directory over to /templates/yourtemplatename/html/mod_custom/ directory.

how to add joomla site header in my custom php file without using ready made plugin or module?

I have been develope one site in joomla framework. Now my trouble is that client want one custom page in this site. so, please guide me how to i setup theme interface in this custom page?
Although this is not my favorite solution, instead of including Joomla in your script, you can put your script inside an article with an extension that can read your code, like DirectPHP and others.
You can make something like error.php which is really a mini application that renders a single page. You can see in the core how elements of the emplae are used and you can evn pull in modules and so on.
