I'm using an opencart theme called MarketShop and as part of the theme it comes with a featured slider on the top of the website. It was all functioning correctly this morning, I went to edit the pictures by removing the original module and recreating it with a different banner. Now the module has been created but its not showing up on the website.
What have I done wrong?
I believe the two modules have identical information but I could be incorrect.
I've tried reupoloading all files from the theme and just skipping any that were identical in order to try and find the missing file with no luck.
Any suggestions besides doing a factory reset are much appreciated!
UPDATE:
Doesn't seem like anyone is able to determine the fault... Going to do a fresh install unless someone wants to first login themeselves and see if they can find the problem?
I managed to resolve this issue myself finallly after a LOT of playing around!
Steps I took to fix this issue were as follows..
First I uninstalled the module and reinstalled (It deleted all tests I made + the original demo items).
Then I clicked the install button again and went to edit.
I added one slideshow item and choose my banner that I'd setup earlier via the banners link in the admin panel.
I then went to LAYOUTS which is found next to the banners link or after you click save in modules at the top a hyperlink to layouts is offered.
Upon going to the layouts section and playing around here for even more time I worked out I needed to go into the Homepage file and click edit (NOT THE ONE NAME DEFAULT)!
I tried this numerous times with the DEFAULT page (Note that my store is even set so that the default theme is default which led me to believe that was the right page, which it is not.
So go into homepage and click edit.
Then add one module with the blue plus. Select the module you've just created earlier. Position it where you want it on the page (to get it to work for me I selected "Content Top" and Sort Order I set to 1 (The other two modules had sort orders of 2 and 3)
And that was that, problem solved!
Hopefully this will help anyone else with similar issues.

I have a joomla website in localhost.
I installed a template called Helix 2 which also has a set of Shortcodes. (i just put in something like [block]blah blah [/block] and my blah blah is highlighted in a nice looking box.)
I posted beautiful looking articles that way from BackEnd. Unfortunately, I have setup some users to be able to edit those articles from frontend. I have manually checked the Database and the shortcode is saved in the database. But when clicking edit in frontend, THAT DATABASE VERSION is not loaded in the edit field! When editing from frontend, the joomla engine DOESNOT load the database version of the article, but the version rendered from the browser or something else. The latter version doesn't have the shortcodes. So, after clicking save from Frontend the original article formatting is lost! I then have to manually reenter shortcodes in the frontend.
So the solution is, while clicking on edit button, if the article for editing is loaded from the database I can see my shortcodes in their proper places. So, is there a setting anywhere in joomla that can help me out with this?
PS: I HAVE TRIED ALL EDITORS TINYMCE, JCE, EDITOR-NONE WITH SAME RESULTS. ITS NOT THE EDITOR PROBLEM.
Which Joomla version are you using?
In Joomla 2.5 if you use a user from a different group, checkout the text filter options tab in the general settings. If you login as a super-admin and the setting for that group is "No filter", please try to change to "default blacklist" than save. Clear all joomla cache (just to be on the save site). Than change back to "No filter" option.
I have seen complaints on the joomla forum that the No Filter option while default set in some cases is not properely set. Resetting it to default blacklist and back to "No filter" might solve that problem.
What a simple solution and I had to spend so many sleepless nights surfing for a solution. In my site http://lokkatha.comthe problem was persisting for quite some time. However, with the help of the solution suggested by Wouter here, I could sort it out. the process is
Go to BACKEND ADMIN >> General configuration >> Text filters
Covert all filters to NO FILTERING The problem is solved.
I currently work on an online shop, running on Magento 1.4.1.1 (yeah.. I know..)
I have an extension installed to show some random featured products on the startpage. Here's the plug-in: http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/featured-products-4605.html
The extension creates a new attribute "inchoo_featured_product" for products, wich makes it possible to choose a collection to show on the page. So the extension ran all the time (already a year) perfectly, but now it shows ALL products, not only selected. If I look up the product in Magento backend, I see that it is not checked to show up. (show on start page = no)
I couldn't figure out by myself how to fix the misbehaviour. How can I approach it to find out and fix it?
Reinstall didn't fix anything.
Ok people thank you for your suggestions. Now I found out what it was! It was just Magento indexing problem. the DB and all was working just fine, nothing changed but the server time limit was set to 30seconds so every time I re-indexed everything it was not complete and that caused the extension to break and behave randomly stupid :D
Thank you all for your help.
So the extension ran all the time (already a year) perfectly
You must have changed something, software/websites don't break on their own. Try to think have you installed any new modules or made some other changes recently?
Using 1.4.1.1
I’ve recently changed some php code in header.phtml to align my navigation titles so the wording appears on top of each other.
After I did this I also changed the organization of the categories within the back end under Catalog > Category Management. none of the Cross-Sells, Up-Sells, Related products or New Products on the Home Page are showing up along with the sarch.
I’m not sure if changing the header.phtml is related to these options not working. I don’t see how changing the header.phtml could render those options useless.
The only other things i’ve done since i’ve changed that code was create a sitemap, and a new robot.txt file which should have no effect on the website and change the order of the navigation items up top....meaning, instead of “Navigation Category 4” being in the fourth spot, I put it in the 1 slot then moved it back to the four slot within the back end under Catalog > Manage Categories for a split second… I dragged and dropped them into a new location, but then moved them back to how those two categories were organized before. I also changed the name of an existing category.
yes… i’m sure that all products are instock, with quantity available. All these things (cross-sells, up-sells, new products, etc) were working yesterday so I know they are set up correctly. It seems like something I did changed the file that controls all of those options. I’ve also re-indexed and re-cached everything.
Does anyone have any advice on where to look or what may have changed? All the XML is still set up correctly under CMS > Pages > Home Page. It still shows XML there to call out the new products on the home page but there not displaying. I have a feeling once I fix the home page issue with not displaying new products, that the others will be fixed to.
Please remember that these options were working yesterday. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
P
P.S. I’ve also realized now that searching is not working on the website. I’ve re-indexed everything and it’s not working. The only thing not re-indexing is “Category Products” but that has always said “processing” and won’t re-index. So I dont know why that would now mess anything up. This is seriously killing me. Corrupt DB? I've tried to repair the db but cannot upload large .sql dumps via MYphpAdmin, and don't have shell access.
I will seriously send money to someone who can cure these issues. I'm a man of my word.
Thank you everyone.
Erase everything in /var/locks/ and re-index.
Frustrated SO regular here:
I'm creating a theme-options.php page for a child theme in Wordpress. Here's the code. The page renders correctly, including: Adding the page link to the correct admin menu, creating and displaying the options page. When I click save, however, it takes me to a 500 (internal server error page).
Using the 'adminer' plugin (phpmyadmin) I have looked at the wp_options table, and there are none of the custome settings/fields that I have specified. My best guess at the problem is that the settings aren't registering properly so when I post the form to options.php it responds with an error because it doesn't expect those form fields.
I've been wracking my brain around this code for a few days now, and am wondering if someone else can take a look at it for me? I would really appreciate a few extra eyes...
Some resources I have tried:
http://ottopress.com/2009/wordpress-settings-api-tutorial/
http://themeshaper.com/2010/06/03/sample-theme-options/
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_settings_section
My settings are not saving in wordpress theme options page (his settings appear empty in db. mine don't appear at all)
Oh crud,
It dawned on me after I spent an hour figuring it out that Richard M had given you the answer.
I created a new paste of your code, cleaned up some: http://pastebin.com/enUa3xme
I fixed the issue and also added the function add_my_options() and removed the is_admin() wrapper around your admin action hooks since they will only be triggered in the admin area, so they are unnecessary.
I needed to learn this since I use a half-way-done implementation of this, so even if it isn't helpful to you, it was worth learning...
I have been asked to upload a Zen Cart site to my servers and have done so fine.
I am getting a problem now with the fact that the client has uploaded his custom template into the includes/templates folder and selected it in the admin - but it still wont load it. instead it just loads the template_default style.
I am been through every document I can find and have performed the 'reset' of the Layout Boxes Controller, but nothing seems to resolve it.
Can anyone tell me if there's a file I need to tweak or something to make sure it loads my custom style?
Cheers,
C.
One solution would be to overwrite the default theme with yours. I know this is not what you are asking, however, it would solve your issue.
Zen Cart templates can be really simple or really complex. So installing them can be easy or complicated. The files are probably in the wrong place, or not completely installed. It's easy to make a mistake. Just in case, here's the outline:
1a. Simple - Copy the cart template files to includes/templates/your_template_name/.
or
1b. complex - Copy the cart template folders to includes/.
2 Go to Admin > Tools > Template Selection and click Edit.
Select your_template_name. (If you don't see your_template_name something has gone wrong.)
3 Many templates install with the sideboxes turned off. Go to Admin > Tools > Layout Boxes Controller and edit the sideboxes to turn them on.
One idea for trouble-shooting ...
Look at the database template_select table. What template_dir is set?
If this is happening, double check the file includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/template_info.php. This file is used by the system to determine if a folder under includes/templates is actually a template, and things won't work without this file. Once you've set this file up, go back to admin->tools->template selection and try re-selecting your custom template.
