Basic Theme Editing in VirtoCommerce - virtocommerce

I am running VirtoCommerce 2.4.644. I have a small collection of products and they are not placed in category folders in my catalog. How do I edit the default theme to just show all the most recent items on the home page in one big grid view?
Following the documentation for theme development, I tried to edit css/html, but I can't tell which templates control what.

In the current release there is no out of the box support for themes retriving and showing products that don't belong to any category. In the latest dev, there is "collections.all.products" property that can be used in liquid to get all the products and it should include the ones in the root.

PrestaShop - Product categories not refreshing on my front-end

I purchased a new template from themeforest and have a issue.
I added some new categories and in the theme left side bar, the categories name are still the default ones.
I've checked the root category and it is one of my existing categories, anyone can suggest a solution here?

Have you checked your Smarty cache configuration in the PrestaShop Admin Panel? Try to empty the cache and make sure templates are recompiled properly after any changes.
The module displaying categories in the left column is the blockcategories module and it has a Smarty cache mechanism.

BigCommerce Edit Finishorder.php page for custom stencil theme

We designed and developed a custom theme for BigCommerce using Stencil for a client.
After an order is submitted, the finishorder.php page is shown. I've attached a screenshot. We cannot find a way to modify this page. I know the checkout.php can't be edited other than targeting CSS, is the same true for finishorder.php? By default its showing base pricing. The customers' products use options to create the final price, so products appear cheaper than they actually are after a checkout. We would also like to style the buttons and modify the block listing the products that "Customers also liked" to match the rest of the theme.
Screenshot from Finishorder.php page
It is possible for BigCommerce staff to enable an editable checkout (checkout_express.html) and thank you for your order screen (order.html). This will appear under Design Options > More > Template Files and be accessible through WebDAV.

Prestashop how to customize theme

I have bought leo_chopin theme (because client asked for it). My question is how to customize a theme from html/php/css editor and not from admin panel (it's too constricting). I wouldn't hardcode, but use hooks. This is the first time I'm using Prestashop and that style of programing... For example, where to call my own header.tpl, footer.tpl, content.tpl?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Go to your_site_folder/themes/leo_chopin/ and you will find header.tpl, footer.tpl.
You can modify these templates there or make a copy of a theme into another folder and modify it.
All content between header and footer depends on a page controller. All controllers for the front are in a folder your_site_folder/controllers/front/. ProductController.php is for product pages, CategoryController.php is for category pages, IndexController.php is for the home page etc.
You can find more in Prestashop documentation: http://doc.prestashop.com/display/PS16/Laying+the+Theme's+Foundations.

Lazy load pages in PrestaShop?

By default, pagination in PrestaShop is available in every product page (displaying up to 10 items per page).
But according to my project requirements, I need a lazy loading page (only 10 products need to displayed before trying to scroll down the page). Does PrestaShop have this feature ?
This is not possible by default.
You have to create your own module or buy/use available product like:

Infinite Scroll for Prestashop
3. Answer by thepsyntist from https://www.prestashop.com/forums/
[...] I successfully implemented an infinite scroll module on
Prestashop 1.6.0.11 (A custom theme) and 1.6.1.0 (Default theme). I
found this module on GitHub a couple of months ago and finally today I
got success implementing it. Hence I have no direct link for it or
know who created it. Link to the module.
If you'd like to load images the same way, there is one another module.

Shopify "test" template page

Is there any way to publish a test template page? For example, if I have a template file called "cart-test.liquid," is there anything I can modify so I can navigate to "http://shopname.com/cart-test" in order to test it out?
I'm currently developing an widget that'll be included on Shopify cart pages, and one of my clients wants to test it out before it's published on their real cart page.
The best way to test a theme without editing the live theme is to duplicate the current theme and use the preview function.
From within the Shopify admin (using Shopify Admin 2) goto the "Themes" section. Here you can "duplicate" the published main theme. It will create a copy of the theme within the "Unpublished themes" section. Here you can edit it and also get a preview of this theme (click on the link preview).
