Prestashop start page - prestashop

I'm developing a prestashop site but I don't want to have the shop as the starting page. I would like to have my corporate page as start page and link the shop as a menu option.
I'm really lost on how to do that...

Variant 1: You can install PrestaShop on a separate folder and link it from the menu.
Variant 2: If you need the header and the footer of PrestaShop and just the main content to be with your corporate information you can disable the Left Columnd and the Right Column modules to appear on the home ("index") page from Back Office / Modules / Positions / Edit (icon on the right side of the specific module for specific hook - displayLeftColumn, displayRightColumn)
Variant 3: If you need your corporate information on the center column, just uninstall all the modules from that column and leave only "Home text editor" where you can put your corporate information.

I think the best way is to have PrestaShop in separate folder like /store/ or /shop/ - then you can use WordPress, Drupal or whatever else you need to create corporate page.

Where does the code for the About page for my shopify site live?

I am trying to simply edit the format (float from left to center and remove two column layout into one column) of my about page on my Shopify site.
I have edited the html of the page directly using chrome dev tools (to confirm what I am doing is going to make the page look like I want it to).
My issue is that Shopify has a specific global section in the admin where you can edit just the content of the about page. Unfortunately, I cannot seem to find anything on that page that allows me to edit the pages code directly.
And when I look at the theme code for the main site, I cannot find any .liquid files that seem to be related to the about page.
Anybody with Shopify coding experience able to point me in the right direction?

How to change text in Shopify Admin pages?

I'm trying to change the text "SKU" to something else on the Admin site, in two places:
On the Product Variant column header, when you're looking at the Product in the admin site.
On the Variant Options screen, under the Inventory header.
The purpose is to change the name for the Admin user to see something else, it doesn't need to impact the front end site. I already tried modifying the translation in en.default.json but that didn't work.
Its a build in text in the Shopify pages and code.
You can use a Javascript to do it by writing a Chrome/Firefox extension to do it or using a bookmarklet in your address bar.
A bookmraklet is a JS code which is running on the given page when you click it
Here are few samples:

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.

How to edit prestashop back office product listing page

I want to change the layout of prestashop back office product page.
So can anyone tell me which file to change so that I can modify this existing layout?
I don't know which page you want to edit exactly, but when you go to that page in your backoffice, like:
http://www.example.com/admin123/index.php?tab=AdminAttributesGroups
The admin123 is variable to your installation, but the ?tab=AdminAttributesGroups referes to the backoffice page you are on. These pages are located in /var/www/admin123/tabs in this case it's /var/www/admin123/tabs/AdminAttributesGroups.php
I found the solution.... Here is what I did
Added content.tpl in under adminxxyy/theme/theme_name/template/controller/products
Which showed me content of my content.tpl
Create a new module, register the hook and send that info via hook to content.tpl.
Use hook name in content.tpl like {hook h='displayProductMyWay' mod='blockcustom'}.

Any good Testimonial module / component in Joomla 1.6?

I am new to Joomla 1.6. I have a problem while trying to install "Freestyle Testimonials" (File Name - "freestyle_testimonials_lite-1.6.0(1).zip"), a component for testimonials for Joomla 1.6, as there is an error message appearing "Component Install: Another component is already using directory: /home/faster/public_html/webmaster/components/com_fst". I cannot install the component.
Then I tried installing another module for testimonial "AutarTimonial" (File Name - "mod_autartimonial1.6.zip"). It installed and can be viewed under module manager but I cannot put it into my desired location (such as Testimonials menu), in the Admin area.
I am totally confused and asking for help.
Thanks in advance.

First, in order to fix the issue with Freestyle Testimonials you will need to delete the com_fst folder on your server. It sounds like the first install failed, but managed to make the folder which caused the second install attempt to fail.
Next, AutarTimonial is a module, not a component. Modules are designed to be placed in positions other than the main content area so there will not be a menu item for a module. AutarTimonial does have a component that probably goes with the module, you should install that, it should have the menu item you need.
