custom footer module for opencart v1.5.2.1 - module

I am using latest version of opencart ( 1.5.2.1 ) but unable to add custom footer module. Please help me.

You might want preserve Opencart default template, thus it's better copy the parts you need to modify (default/common/footer.tpl in your case), under (to say) your_template/common/footer.tpl and select from admin your_template for your store. This way you reduce changes and simplify upgrading.

You can just edit \catalog\view\theme\default\template\common\footer.tpl for all your needs.

Just copy catalog\view\theme\default
Then rename the new default file to Your Store.
Then go in and change whatever files you want in the new theme.
Now you have a template to work from, and if you screw anything up, all the files are in original state back in the original default folder.

I created successfully..Need to modify footer.tpl and footer.php file.

PrintInvoice global variable - BigCommerce

I have the following case:
I'm trying to edit the PrintInvoice.html after downloading it through WebDav. The template was previously edited by another developer, but using the Template Files directly in the Storefront back when the files were visible in the Storefront. When opening the HTML template, the wording that I need to change is inside the global variable %%GLOBAL_ProductsTable%% so I'm not sure how to reach the text content inside. Replacing the global variable with custom HTML is not desirable.
Any suggestions are appreciated!
As others have stated, these global variables are saved within BC's back-end database which you do not have access to.
A workaround my team and I have done to edit the contents of these global variables is to use JavaScript at the bottom of the document that changes the desired text after it is loaded. This seems to be the only way we could find to edit those values.
Global variables like this are provided by the BigCommerce app, it is how the product data is sent through your store to email and can't be modified. To change the product table's appearance, the existing variable would need to be removed and replaced with your custom code.

Is it good to duplicate the opencart module?

Well I want to make a custom page in opencart admin panel to insert and delete some data from opencart database
For example :
Set an image slider on opencart home page and fetching images from database & for insertion of images, I want to create a custom page in opencart admin panel ??
So how can it be possible ??
You can duplicate any module and create other for your needs. Remember to duplicate and change the filename so the "new" extension can work properly.
Folder to consider for admin:
admin->controller->{type of module}->module's name
admin->model->(type of module)->module's name
admin->language->english (always)->(type of module)->module's name
optional:
admin->language->(other languages)->(type of module)->module's name
you may try,
1,Login as Admin-> systems -> design ->banners -> insert ->
YOUR BANNER NAME-> add banner ->
Title: YOUR TITLE
Image: YOUR IMAGE -> Save
2, Login as Admin-> extensions -> Modules ->Slideshow -> Edit -> add Module -> SELECT YOUR BANNER -> Save
Also when duplicating modules be aware that you may also need to change the existing class name to different one. For example when duplicating module flat rate you will also need to change in the controller /admin/controller/shipping/flat.php :
class ControllerShippingFlat extends Controller {
to something new like :
class ControllerShippingFlatDuplicate extends Controller {
It's posible, but in my opinion if you want to create a new "admin page" in your Opencart you can do it using vqmod.
so, you don't have to rewrite any core file.
you can donwload any free extension on the opencart website to take an example
You can simply duplicate some simple modules available in opencart admin panel like Welcome module or Banner or Slideshow module.
This method will help you to disable the module or change the position of content in future.
Duplicating opencart module tutorial : http://opencart.hostjars.com/blog/58
As a beginner it's better to duplicate an existing module and modifying it as per requirement. When you get the idea of how opencart modules work, you can build modules from scratch.
Yes, it is pretty safe and sound to duplicate a module in opencart and it is a bit logical with any of the cms as no one is going to create a module from scratch for a very little functionality like inserting some values to database.
As depicts you just want to insert some images links, so you can proceed with replicating the catalog / information functionality in opencart admin panel.
You just need to create a new table in database to store new modules data and fetching new module data in front end.
If you want to create a custom module or custom page for your store you can check below link. There is complete solutions for your question and describe very deeply.

Content Editor not updating in Sitecore when I programatically update/add content

I am programatically adding/editing content in the master DB, and I know it saves correctly because if I run another 'app', I can see the content I created/updated.
However I can't see the content in the content editor. However if I go to the 'template' associated with the content I create/edited, and make a minor change, and save it. I get the message 'Updating content' which I expect to see... (it is applying the template change to the content).
Then I can see the content I created/edited...
So it appears that something needs to be triggered that modifying the template triggers that I am not.
Any ideas? Thank you.
Thanks for all the input. The issue is that the cache is not being cleared. Collapsing/Expanding the tree did not work. I literally had to clear the cache and it worked. Thank you all. Hope if anyone else has this issue, my answer helps them!
The content tree won't automatically update following external changes to the content structure (eg another user adding/deleting something under the node you are looking at). If you collapse and expand the parent node of where your content is programmatically created, that should be enough to show the newly created content.

How do I switch the theme used on a Sitefinity based website?

We have a Sitefinity 3.2 site in production and the users want a whole new look and feel. Upgrading is not an option.
I have created new templates for them but they will need to go into the site and create all new pages using the new templates. This is a problem because they want the current site to remain unchanged until they are done - then they want to instantly switch over.
One problem that I see already is that pages will not show up in the menu control until they are published.
I am very new to Sitefinity. Is there a standard practice for doing this?
You don't need to re-create all of the pages to change the look and feel; simply change the template assigned.
This video shows how to work with themes and templates.
I'd think that changing the theme of all the templates late at night should be "instantly" enough for most people. :)

Overriding prestashop module translation missing

I try to modify a module template in prestashop so I've copied the module to my theme folder "modules".
I've noticed that the theme is changing the only problem is that the translation is not. I got the original text on the final shop template. Is there some simple way of making this work?
I don't know how to make modules so this way was great except the translation part - the rest of the store is translated except those modules. I use prestashop 1.4.
In your Back Office, you need to edit the Module Translations under Tools > Translations > Modify Translations. They are translated separately from the Front Office and Back Office translations, just select "Modules" from the drop-down menu.
Make sure your module can be translated also :
{l s='Login' mod='blockuserinfo'}
The name of the module has to be here,
also make sure to check the prestashop user guide :
