Magento advanced search form in sidebar - forms

I'm using Magento 1.5.0.1 and I want to move my advanced search form to the sidebar for my 2columns-left template.
What I've tried was this:
<reference name="left">
<block type="catalogsearch/advanced_form" name="catalogsearch_advanced_form" template="catalogsearch/advanced/form.phtml"/>
<block type="core/html_calendar" name="html_calendar" as="html_calendar" template="page/js/calendar.phtml"/>
</reference>
But unfortunately it doesnt show up.
When i browse to mywebsite/catalogsearch/advanced/ the form shows up in the sidebar so that goes well.
How can i change it so it always shows up in the sidebar?
Thanks in advance!

What happens if you insert into your template:
<?php echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('catalogsearch/advanced_form')->setTemplate('catalogsearch/advanced/form.phtml')->toHtml() ?>
Also pay attention that .js files are loaded for calendar.

Magento 2 Critical CSS file position

Is there a way to include inline styles after the <title> tag as shown on this image:
If I edit the file default_head_blocks.xml I can only get this to show after the merged css file which defeats the purpose of using critical-css. One possible way is to add this bit of code into default.xml but then the inline css is rendered right at the top of <head> before all the <meta> tags so I'm not sure if this is bad practice or not
<referenceBlock name="require.js">
<action method="setTemplate">
<argument name="template" xsi:type="string">Magento_Theme::/header/inline-css.phtml</argument>
</action>
</referenceBlock>
Since Magento 2.3 (or 2.2?) Magento has an option for Critical Css, here is the doc
In your (custom) theme you can define web/css/critical.css and then enable using critical css.
bin/magento config:set dev/css/use_css_critical_path 1
This css file will be injected as inline style into the head and the rest of styles will be loaded asynchronously.
AFAIK, placing the critical css in any position inside the head will do the job. The point is to load the other styles asynchronously. Otherwise the browser will still wait till all css files are loaded before loading the contents (body tag).

Doxygen: Modules page content

In doxygen, if you create modules, the modules page will show up, with very basic content:
I would like to customize this page by added some description how the modules are related.
First thing I tried was to simply reference the "modules" page:
/*!
#page modules
Can you see this content?
#details This is some extra content!
#section Detail-Section
Show yourself!
*/
This adds a link to normal modules page in "related pages", but the things I enter there will still not show up. In fact, they seem to be completly ignored!
I was not able to find out where to add this content, but checking the genereated html file let's me assume that it is possible.
The following snippet shows the html code that comes after the table that lists the modules:
</table>
</div><!-- directory -->
</div><!-- contents -->
<!-- start footer part -->
So, is there a way to actually add "contents" with doxygen from a comment like for normal custom pages?

Open login for inside modal dialog for Joomla 2.5

So I have a specific page that spawns a modal dialog to login/register. I am using Colorbox, and this is working nicely for me. What I need to do is open ONLY the form and not the entire page with header links and such. I understand this can be fixed by adding '?tmpl=component' or '&tmpl=component' to the end of the url. My problem is that my form is stripped of all styling and is terribly ugly. Is there any way I can go about adding styling back to this form? Thanks in advance.
Yes you can get all styles,
This is happen due to using with tmpl=component Normally Joomla using this layout for printing purpose(Print layout) it have only basic styling compared to your default template index.php.
So you need to get your proper styling for the forms you have to add those style sheet to the component.php inside your template folder.
templates/your_template/component.php
Add your basic template style sheet at the top of the file using same like index.php.
eg:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $this->baseurl ?>/templates/system/css/system.css" type="text/css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $this->baseurl ?>/templates/beez_20/css/template.css" type="text/css" />
Then tmpl=component view have proper styles applied.
Hope it helps..
I downloaded the entire FTP and did a search for where the basic stylesheets were being included (general.css and system.css) so that I could add my others for style. This can be found/edited in public_html/templates/system/component.php

How to apply CSS to Magento CMS Page

I have followed every tutorial that came up in Google search to add a simple CSS styling to a Magento CMS page.
I simply want to add the following CSS
.list-checkmark{
list-style-image: url("../images/Check-Mark-2.png");
margin-left: 3em;
}
to my page http://demo.txsystems.com/index.php/integration-service This is a CMS page, and I have added the following
<reference name="head">
<action method="addItem">
<type>skin_css</type><script>MyCss.css</script>
</action>
</reference>
To the layout update XML of this page in Magento admin.
I have added the file myCss.css to /var/www/html/skin/frontend/default/hellogamez/css
Please can someone help me to understand, what else I am missing, the said image is in the appropriate image folder.
And of course in the CMS page here is the UL list that I am trying to apply the formatting, I am in Magento 1.7
<ul class="list-checkmark">
<li>PCs (laptop, desktop, tablet)</li>
<li>Portable and Desktop Printing Systems</li>
<li>First Responder Devices</li>
<li>Vending Machines</li>
<li>Handhelds</li>
<li>Medical Devices and Testing Equipment</li>
<li>Multifunctional Printers</li>
<li>Industrial Control Systems</li>
<li>Storage and Locker Systems</li>
<li>Event Ticketing</li>
<li>Asset Tracking</li>
<li>Commercial Ovens</li>
</ul>
Thanks
The idea is good, but looks like you may be pulling from the wrong spot.
<reference name="head">
<action method="addItem">
<type>skin_css</type><script>MyCss.css</script>
</action>
</reference>
...will pull from the core code folders.
Rather use:
<reference name="head">
<action method="addCss"><stylesheet>css/MyCss.css</stylesheet></action>
</reference>
...which will load from the location you described:
skin/frontend/default/hellogamez/css/MyCss.css
...and inject into your pageload in the same cluster as the other css calls.
Then make sure your image is in the images folder on the same level as that css folder ie:
skin/frontend/default/hellogamez/images/Check-Mark-2.png
Also note that if you use the local.xml method to have it load site wide, you can use this same code snippet.

How to display everyone of the label and the radio choices in its own line?

I'm using Struts2. By default, when using the struts form, the label and the choices are displayed in the same line. How can I do to make the label in a line, and every radio choice in its own line? Is there a way by CSS? I need your help guys. Here it is how my form looks like. Thank you!
<s:form action="resultAction" namespace="/">
<s:radio label="Gender" name="yourGender" list="genders" value="defaultGenderValue" />
<s:submit value="submit" name="submit" />
</s:form>
Which theme are you using as by default struts2 use xHtml theme and which generate certain set of Tables to render the view.
Struts2 use free-marker template to render the HTML for tags and you can customize theme as per your choice or can create you rown theme.
Try with simple theme which will not generate any table or div and will render plain HTML for you are you have all way to apply your custom CSS to change/customize the view.
You can set the theme per page basis on for the whole application for per page basis add the following line in the head section
<s:set name="theme" value="'simple'" scope="page" />
for whole application you can either set in struts.properties file or in struts.xml file though the second one is more preferable.
<constant name="struts.ui.theme" value="simple" />
