I have installed the latest version of Magento 1.6.0.0-rc2 and tried to install the package and theme which I had developed on Magento 1.5.x
The package has been installed in magento/app/design/frontend/packagename
I have also entered 'packagename' in System -> Configuration -> Design -> Current Package Name.
In app/design/frontend/packagename/default/layout/page.xml I have specified for default 'All Pages':
<block type="page/html" name="root" output="toHtml" template="page/2columns-left.phtml">
Yet when I turn on template hints, I see that the main template being used is base/default/template/page/2columns-right.phtml.
I have verified that design/frontend/packagename/default/template/page/2columns-left.phtml does exist.
I have been trying everything to debug this, but I can't seem to figure out where it is getting 2columns-right.phtml from (which config file). I even tried to log the xml files loaded but they didnt show any of the custom xml files in the theme package being loaded.
Any suggestions on what could be the problem or what to try ?
Thanks.
Edit:
A couple of points.
Cache is disabled.
The new package/theme displays, I'm able to see the css/images/js. Some of the template files with template hints enabled are from packagename, but the main ones seem to be from base.
Page template is not set just in page.xml, but even in catalog.xml, catalogsearch.xml, customer.xml... I mean, almost every pages have his own layout.
The layout set in page.xml is valid only for CMS pages. All other pages have other settings that override it.
Which page are you looking at? A category page or a CMS page? Try different pages and see what happens!

After I made my own additions to the Joomla template files -- I added a module position in a cloned version of the layout file, added the position in the templateDetails.xml file, and checked that the template layout .ini file has my module position -- the module position still does not show up in the layout tab of the backend.
I first tried this in localhost using xampp and everything seems to work fine. Once I transfer the files using FileZilla to the server, the module positions that I added in the layout does not seem to work. I could still find the position in the dropdown, but it does not appear in the blocks of the layout tab. This is the layout that appeared using localhost, but the view that I see after I transferred the files was only the header (no "inner" or "banner" positions):
Module positions are added the first time you install a template - you won't see any new module positions if you update the the XML manifest file of the template. However, you can still use these new positions if you just type in their name. Hopefully, Joomla in the future would have a method to flush and refresh module positions.
I'm trying to install new free Joomla template called gk_magazine. In the download page, I found three links to three zip files for Joomla 3.x:
gk_magazine_rest_files_J!3.zip
gk_magazine_quickstart_J!3.zip
gk_magazine_J!3.zip
I downloaded the three files to my computer and I tried to install them one by one in the following order:
gk_magazine_J!3.zip: it is installed correctly and Gk_magazine template becomes listed in the template manager and it has been set as default as the screen shot shows.
gk_magazine_quickstart_J!3.zip: it is installed correctly too, but there is no any additional items appeared in the template manager.
gk_magazine_rest_files_J!3.zip: It does not installed - Warning JInstaller: :Install: Cannot find XML setup file
I saw similar situations with other Joomla templates and I need to know what are the rules of each file described above in the installation of the new templates? are all of them are important? or just the first file only?
From the file structure you can tell what it is!
gk_magazine_rest_files_J!3.zip:
This one is as the name says it 'rest files' means: plugins, notes for a module and a few photoshop images (*.psd)
gk_magazine_quickstart_J!3.zip:
This one is a Joomla Site with the gk_magazine_J!3.zip Template which you can find in the folder templates
gk_magazine_J!3.zip:
This one is a template
EDIT:
Also what's Joomla Site with gk_magazine template mean too?
It means that this is a basic Joomla site which you can copy into your server root folder (e.g. htdocs on XAMPP)
You can see the templates in the templates folder here:
beeze3, protostar and system are some Joomla standard templates which are all in a new basic Joomla site. There also beeze5 or beeze20 as an example, but these are not automatically included in the basic Joomla site
I can't for the life of me manage to override the main shop page.
My understanding is that it's archive-product.php
I've attempted to copy it into the Woocommerce directory I created in my theme's root directory and modify it. No dice.
I've also attempted to modify it directly in the Woocommerce plugin directory. No dice there either.
I've even gone as far as adding an underscore before the archive-product.php file name in both locations (woocommerce directory and my theme template directory) in an attempt to hopefully BREAK it - just to see if I could impact SOME change - and that doesn't seem to have any effect either.
I'm not running any cache plugins and every other Woocommerce template file I've attempted to modify up until this point has worked fine.
Any ideas?
You are doing this correctly. You'll have to double check the locations as per:
Shop template is in
plugins/woocommerce/templates/archive-product.php
You can copy to my-themes/woocommerce/archive-product.php to
override the core woocommerce file.
I just had the same issue,
What worked for me, is removing the woocommerce.php file, because before, it applied the template woocommerce.php to the shop, and not the archive-product.
The answer is that when you updated to the newest version of WooCommerce, you have to "reinstall" the WooCommerce pages because the old system did not use the wc_get_page_id() function, which looks for the shop page.
Luckily this is super easy! Go to your admin, then to WooCommerce, then to System Status, then click on the Tools tab. Then click the button to the right of Install WooCommerce Pages. This will only install the missing WooCommerce pages and, get this, will reinstall the shop page with the proper wc_get_page_id.
NOTE: if you have content in the original WordPress shop page, although it didn't erase it for me, you might just want to copy the content first just in case.
I was able to fix this by using the suggestion here - Changes on archive-product.php doesn't work
but, it seems like a bug to me. WooCommerce claims that you need that root woocommerce.php page in order to incorporate the plugin into your custom theme - http://docs.woothemes.com/document/third-party-custom-theme-compatibility/ - but, this does work.
I'd love to know the reasoning behind this.
Switching to the twentyeleve/twentytwelve theme's and trying to override the archive-product.php file in the same fashion worked great, but they don't include a native woocommerce.php file in their root directory either. What gives?
i've created a new website under a working Magento install. The old website works fine, but the new one doesn't load the theme css. I can see it loads the .phtml files when enabling Template Path Hints.
I've already checked basic things 100 of times, so...
set theme to desired one
refresh Magento cache
check source code to see whats the css path
use i.e. firebug to see what css is being loaded
can you show your file structure?
whats the theme name?
I am trying to install the following Magento template into my online store:
http://www.magthemes.com/magento-themes/free-themes/fitness-magento-theme.html
I am using this theme as it closely resembles the design/layout that I am after (I will have to tweak the CSS after installation).
Here is what I have done so far:
Unzipped downloaded file
Transferred the following folders to my server:
app\design\frontend\default\Fitness_1.1 to
/public_html/app/design/frontend/default/Fitness_1.1
skin\frontend\default\ to /public_html/skin/frontend/default/Fitness_1.1
Gone to my sites Admin > System > Configuration > Design
Entered the following:
Templates: Fitness_1.1
Skin (Images / CSS): Fitness_1.1
Layout: Fitness_1.1
Default: default
The theme changed, images changed etc but the Layout is not right and some styles are incorrect, you can see what I mean here:
http://89.200.141.67/~skin/index.php/
Your CSS files aren't loading. Try explicitly setting the skin directory in:
Admin>System>Configuration>Design - Skin (Images/CSS) form field
Uncheck the use website checkbox and make sure that your Current Configuration Scope (the drop down on the top left) is correct.
