Thanks,
The cleanest and most efficient way to add styles to one specific CMS page only is to use the Layout Update XML input area in the Design tab of that page. I've included a screenshot below that shows you what I mean, in that case it's adding in some JS.
For you to add CSS you'd just create your CSS file and upload it to your active theme's CSS directory. You'd use the following code in your Layout Update XML input area;
<reference name="head">
<action method="addCss"><stylesheet>css/pagestyles.css</stylesheet></action>
</reference>

We want to edit the left part of the page layout of about us as seen in the photo, we want to remove the "compare" part and customize it. Where can we edit it?
For this functionality i see you're using layout 2columns-left
To edit this functionality in magento you can do it by updating the layout file for your page.
You can remove this part of the page by using this xml handle in your xml config:
<referenceBlock name="catalog.compare.sidebar" remove="true"/>
After you have removed compare from left sidebar you can create your own block and assign it to left sidebar using this command
<referenceBlock name="left">
<block name="your.custom.block.name" class="Vendor\Module\Block\YourBlock" template="Vendor\Module::template.phtml" />
</referenceBlock>
These two command layouts updates will do:
First one will remove the compare products from sidebar
Second one will add your custom block to the sidebar, where you can put code you need to
Only thing you should be carefull to put this is on right layout handle.
The handle for this will lay in your module: Vendor\YourModule\view\frontend\layout
In case that you showed here it would be
cms_tmt_about_us.xml
Please check this in your configuration that this is the right handle
I am trying to modify the head of my website made in the Magento platform and I am having very much trouble in dooing this. Everywhere I search I read something about app/design/frontend/default/modern/template/page/html/head.phtml
What is this? The physical location of the code ? I only have access to the Magento platform. Is there any way to have acces to the head file? I want to add a metadata (<meta name="google-site-verification" content="quuawwomLqURQt6N34_Pr0cBlYnWcYdiRz8tdXC3Oe8" />) in it and I tried to overwrite the XML file and failed.
I tried something like this:
default>
<reference name="head">
<block type="cms/block" name="google verification" as="google verification">
<action method="setBlockId"><block_id>google_plus</block_id></action>
</block>
</reference>
</default>
If you want to add a custom meta tag to your Magento store, you need to edit the head.phtml file of your current running template.
app/design/frontend/Your-template/default/template/page/html/head.phtml
If you not found this file in your template then you can get this file in
app/design/frontend/base/default/template/page/html/head.phtml
Edit head.phtml file and flush magento cache. Refresh the page and check the source code of page.
In case if you want to add meta title and description data for specific product page then you can check the Link.
To check which template is running currently on your site.
Login into admin panel.
System > configuration > under the left menu find General tab and under this you will get Design tab . Click on Design tab.
Current Package Name is the current template name.
OR To solve your problem (easier):
Use the field Miscellaneous Scripts from System->Configuration->Design->Head and put your scripts in there.
They will be added before the </head> tag and you can set different scripts per website or even store views.
I have an empty magento CMS page, literally nothing on it.
The reason why I need an empty page is because the theme installed has a fixed width, whereas I want to use the entire width of the page for a unique design.
The only problem I have is the fact that the navigation menu is not added by default when I select an empty CMS page. Also, if I simply copy and paste the nav menu from another page, the shopping basket does not update on the empty CMS page, but I need it to.
How do I add the theme's navigation menu to the CMS page?
Ben,
There are a few different ways to approach this. Is this unique CMS page the home page?
Option 1:
Set the CMS page to use a new 1column-custom layout where you can move the main blocks around to your hearts content.
To prove if this will work go into template/page/1column.phtml I am assuming you are looking to restructure the one column layout. Make a backup of the original file first and see if you can manipulate the .phtml file to get your desired result on the page you are working on.. If so, take your changes and place them into a new file named 1column-custom.phtml.
Then in the admin panel in the design update section of the desired cms page. You will place in the following code.
<reference name="root">
<action method="setTemplate"><template>page/1column-custom.phtml</template></action>
</reference>
Option 2:
Use a local.xml layout update to set the content block within the home page to your own template.
From the sounds of it option 1 would be more efficient.
I've recently developed a new mobile theme for my Magento site, containing different CSS/JS/layout/template files than the normal desktop theme.
I'm using Magento's "matched expression" feature in the Design section to switch to the mobile theme if a mobile user-agent string is detected.
I'd like the mobile site to have a different home page than the desktop one, but both themes are running off the normal store view, so I'm not sure how to do this.
Is it possible to set a different home page on a per-theme basis, as opposed to per-store-view?
So if Desktop User navigates to www.example.com/, they'll see CMS Page "home", but if Mobile User navigates to the same URL, they'll see CMS Page "mobile-home"?
#Marius answer is correct, when only considering a stock Magento install, you cannot separate layouts for CMS pages, however having said that, Magento is still OOP and PHP so there is a way to set up a facility to do what you want.
The trick to it is to creating a custom layout handler that gets added to the CMS's page layout, that way, you can specify what content you want on a page through a layout.xml file.
I have done this myself, so it is possible.
Create a custom module that has a layout file and an observer model with a function that you can trigger on the following event.
<controller_action_layout_load_before>
This function can then be used to determine what page you are on. This is the code that I used in the function to inject a layout handle (this could be greatly improved for better scalability)
// Triggered on the controller_action_layout_load_before Event
public function addCustomHandles( $observer ) {
$update = Mage::getSingleton('core/layout')->getUpdate();
if ( Mage::app()->getFrontController()->getRequest()->getModuleName() == 'cms' ) {
$update->addHandle( 'cmslayouthandler_cms_page_' . Mage::getSingleton('cms/page')->getIdentifier() );
}
}
This function gets the layout singleton, confirms it is on a CMS page, and the constructs a handler based off of the currently selected page. It would add a handler like the following:
'cmslayouthandler_cms_page_home'
You will then be able to update the layout for that page in the modules layout file that you created, kinda like this:
<layout version="1.0.0">
<cmslayouthandler_cms_page_home>
<reference name="content">
<block type="core/template" name="home_page" template="page/template/home.phtml" />
</reference>
</cmslayouthandler_cms_page_home>
</layout>
Take into consideration that CMS pages created through the Magento Admin Panel require a value in the 'Content' section, you can easily place a blank dummy value or zero out the value through the DB directly, I prefer the first method personally.
Good Luck!
I ended up experimenting with Marius' suggestion above, and edited cms.xml to override the index page (i.e. home page) with my own template, which worked:
<cms_index_index translate="label">
<reference name="content">
<block type="catalog/navigation" name="alternative_home" template="alternative_home.phtml" />
</reference>
<remove name="cms.wrapper"/>
</cms_index_index>
You might also wish to try overriding cms_index_defaultindex too.
You cannot have 2 homepages on the same store view.
But you can add the content of both your pages content on the same page and just hide the own that's not needed. If you are on mobile hide the desktop content and the other way around.
I would like to able load my 'wishlist' on header block in my magento-1.6 site.
I am using magento1.6.2.0. Now my wishlist is showing up on left side block.
I just changed the reference of wishlist.xml from left to header like
<reference name="header">
<block type="wishlist/customer_sidebar" name="wishlist_sidebar" as="wishlist" template="wishlist/sidebar.phtml"/>
</reference>
But its not coming
How can I achieve that..? Which xml file i want to edit ..?
All layout XML files are one - that is, they are merged as part of typical rendering.
You need to edit the page/html/header.phtml file and add this bit of code:
<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('wishlist') ?>
Before you do any of this though you should read through the articles at the Official Magento Knowledge Base, paying particular attention to the theme hierarchy and developer articles. The time to get theme customizations right is at the beginning of a project.
