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.

I try to display some additional information on the top of website, if is logged user not only an ordinary customer, but also a seller (we use the module "marketplace" by Webkul).
The module "ps_customersignin" shows only a name of logged user and the button for log out on the website. But I want to display more information (link to a seller's special menu, if is the user also a seller, if not, just display user's name and the log out button).
vs.
I tried add this code in ps_customersigning.tpl, but without a result:
{if $is_seller == 1}Display additional info + name and log out button{else}Display only user's name and the log out button
{/if}
Do you have a tip how call information from the module "marketplace" to the module "ps_customersigning" for check, if the user is also the seller and than display the additional information?
You can have an instance of the marketplace module inside the ps_customersignin module by using
$marketplace = Module::getInstanceByName('marketplace');
inside ps_customersignin main module PHP code.
Then you can access the required $marketplace method / properties, assign $is_seller variable with $smarty->assign, and display your content inside the ps_customersigning.tpl
Is it possible to have a checkbox on the product page that are upselling the current product? For example if the user wants to buy a computer they might want to add a mouse, is that possible to implement on the product page for the computer by adding a checkbox that says "Add a mouse +50 SEK", and mouse in this case is referring to another existing product?
natively you can add a customized checkbox value to your pdp. You would do this under Products > View > Edit > Customizations. Select checkbox. Then enter rules to increase the price when selected. However, this is not tied directly to the product, so you'd have to run your own custom logic to handle inventory if you go this route.
Another option is to use a picklist. This is in the same location as checkbox. However the difference is that you can directly link this to a product on your storefront and not have to worry about inventory as it can be handled within BC if you select that option.
A third option is to use an app from the App Marketplace. I've used the BuyButtons app + an HTML widget on the pdp in a quick test to see how this would look. It would need some tweaking to get it to how you'd like, but it was fairly straight forward.
There are likely many other ways to accomplish this, though! These are just some native options & an app option. Thanks!
I am developing an e-commerce application using broad-leaf commerce.
My requirement is I have to add an product from login panel and display that product to only logged in users. Here few product products will be visible to all users (guest too) and few will be visible to only logged in users.
is there any way to do this?
Thanx soulfly1983 fou your try,but I found another alternative to do this without any customization. here is the full procedure..
Add a new category from admin panel.
Add a new page from admin panel (under content tab) and note the URL should be the same of category and page.
3 In the page click on rule tab.
4 Check the yes button in "Restrict to certain customers?"
Click +rule button and the select "match all" and select customer registered is equal to false
So this page will be visible to only guest users.
In the HTML body section of the rule (in general tab) write a message "you need to log in to view this stuff"
When user will log in successfully the user will not be able to the page , because we applied a rule that only logged out users can see the page so this time user will see the category and products added to that category.
am I doing right? any regarding this suggestion?
You can either extend the Product entity and add a field that will indicate whether that product will be visible to all users, or alternatively you could simply add an attribute for each product via the admin interface. Either way you will need to modify the UI logic so that it will take this additional field (or attribute) into consideration.
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.
I've added a contact button on the title bar but I can't get my contact form to display. Has anyone done this?
First of all, the contact button Module field should point to a new Activity module like VerticalContainerActivity which should contain an HtmlView module in its body. This HtmlView displays your contact page - put the address in its ContentUrl. Most of these steps are identical to what you'll find in this tutorial.
You can see an example of this in the diamonds sample app. Create a new app from the diamond store starting point and see how the contact button is implemented there.
The second important point to remember is that you shouldn't use regular store URLs in your Appixia app. When the user sees them, they would see your Prestashop theme with all the navigation and this will be very confusing inside a mobile app. Instead, make a mobile friendly version of your contact page which doesn't use your Prestashop theme and only shows the contact info content.
Using the Prestashop Contact Form in your Appixia app:
I'm not sure this is a 100% good idea in terms of usability. I don't recommend using a web form for contact in a mobile app.
A mobile phone is a communication device. It is has special integration for making phone calls and sending emails - I really recommend you use these methods instead. Look at the HTML source of this example to see how simple it is to integrate (it's just a link in your HTML).
In order to encourage your users to contact, you need to ask them for as little info as possible. Your website contact form makes your users type in their email address. If they email you directly through their device (with a mailto: link), their correct email will be filled automatically. Same with making a call, when they tap on the link, the number will be dialed automatically for them.
If you really insist on implementing the Prestashop contact form, this will require some Prestashop php games. You should find the contact form controller in the Prestashop source and create the same form (in php or hardcoded HTML) without your website theme. It will be a little annoying because after we submit the form, we also need to make sure the confirmation message is also displayed without your website theme.
