I use Joomla 3.10.11. I have made a few modules and used the yoo-master2 for positions. I have the exact same settings, template and positions on everything as my classmates but my site doesn't show anything for some reason. Even my teacher is clueless. Is there anything I can do that may solve this?

I have been working with Wordpress and Drupal for a while now, and something you have to do to maintain those CMSs is update themes, plugins, core, and modules.
My question is do you have to do that with the ExpressionEngine CMS? In the addons dropdown, there are modules, accessories, extentions, fieldtypes, and plugins. When I go to these, it doens't look like there is a way to update them. It shows what version there is, and I am able to delete them from there, but no updates anywhere in sight. Is it something I even need to do?
Thanks
Edit: I found the "update modules" button, but I still do not see anything like that for plugins, or anything else.
EE doesn't make it quite as easy as it is in WordPress. You could check out the Lamplighter extension to see what's still in need of an update then download from the respective source.
This is getting into opinion a bit but when I did a lot of EE dev, I usually stuck to the philosophy that if it worked, I used it and didn't worry about upgrading. Occasionally an extension/plugin would get a significant upgrade, a security patch, or have a feature implemented that I needed. That's That's when I'd go through the process of downloading and installing updates.
I've been asked to make some changes to a site that was built with Expression Engine 1.6.8. Even though I'm not familiar with this CMS, I can find my way around to make the updates, except I'm not sure about adding a contact form. I'm guessing that ultimately I'll have to upgrade this version to the newest (2.7, I believe?) in order to get the tags found on this page to work: http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/modules/email/contact_form.html?
My only hesitation in making the upgrade is my unfamiliarity with EE, and the fact that someone else is probably creating a brand new website for the one I'm working on, and very likely without EE (so I'm learning something that I may not need again).
Any suggestions for a quick fix, or should I just bite the bullet, upgrade, and use what I've found?
Take a look at the EE 1.x docs.
At a glance it appears that syntax has changed little bit. Maybe that's why your EE2 tags were not working in EE1.
I would definitely try to use the tags as shown in the EE1 docs if this site is that old. Making a jump from 1.6.8 to 2.7 can become treacherous due to variables such as how the templates were coded, which add-ons were used, if those add-ons are even available any longer, what functionality was deprecated or absorbed, etc...
I only say ditch the efforts because you mentioned having another site in progress. If you would like to work through the updates/upgrades, follow the docs here and here and learn it. It is definitely worth the learn. Once you tap into EE, it's hard to roll back.
I ended up writing my own html code within the template and processed it with a php script to send the form input to an email address, just as I normally would on a website. Not being familiar with ExpressionEngine, I don't think I understood why I was continually being referenced to use a module in order to do this, but I suppose for anyone who is not a coder but is experienced with EE, that would be the way to go. From what I understand, the email module is not free and does not come with the core version, which is what I had to work with, but comes with the licensed version, which made this all the more confusing.
Should be pretty simple. I am trying to find what theme is being loaded in Magento to create my own custom theme. The problem is the mine (ver. 1.7.0.2) has no files in the frontend->default->default folder so I can't put any print statements there or see which template Magento is loading to learn more about it. Print statements in base->default don't seem to work either.
And where is the home page template located?
I don't know why Magento makes this so hard or maybe I'm just looking at old info that's not applicable anymore.
Turn on template path hints. Also disable the cache from System > Cache Management while you are doing any theme work.
+1 for other answer suggesting you turn on template path hints. That is a great way to figure out the structure of how things work in Magento.
I would also recommend the user guide. It's been updated to apply to 1.7. You used to have to pay for the guide but they make it available for free now.

As well as the latest designers guide that has info specific for templates etc.

I'm using CKeditor 3.6 and find myself in need of writing a simple plugin. What I need is a button that works much like the format buttons (bold, italic, etc.) except that it will turn this:
SelectedWord
not into, say,
<b>SelectedWord</b>
but into:
SelectedWord
I've tried looking into the various plugins that come with CKeditor, but quite frankly, they are more confusing then helpful. I've read the tutorials, I know the basics of writing a plugin, but what eludes me is the functionality itself.
You are going to have to hack the CKEditor code base, but let me tell you that hacking around ckeditor is not so difficult. Also, there are versions of the older fckeditor floating around. Compare the two and see which one would be easier to hack for your mod. I have had to use the older version specifically for creating pinholes against Coldfusion so I could use the file upload segment of the tool. And in another case to function against domain cookies, because of security issues with regular cookies. FCKEditor and CKEditor has never been a clear install for me with the base product. I hope this is somewhat helpful.
I looked on CKEditor's website and I noticed that there's no plugins documentation yet.
But I'm wondering if there is any anywhere else?
I'd like to make a little plugin to add youtube video from CKEditor. Pretty simple plugin but still I'd like to know how to make it.
Documentation is sparse at the moment, but not completely non-existent.
Check out my CKEDitor link survival pack from a previous question.
As a starting point, you may want to copy and use one of the existing plugins (the unpacked ones from the _source directory, of course).
The symbols plugin is extremely simple but shows the basic points of inserting HTML into the editor
The links plugin may be a good starting point for how to add input fields, tabs, and make them interact (If you want to go the road of understanding CKEditor's highly sophisticated dialog layout system, that is. My cup of tea, it wasn't. You may want to just set up an Iframe dialog, and do everything by yourself).
Since this question was first posted, CK has added documentation for creating plugins - http://docs.cksource.com/CKEditor_3.x/Tutorials/Abbr_Plugin_Part_1
