xml layout - Magento - unexpected template being used -


to cater magento's (1.7.0.2) omission of discount code in checkout process (madness!), installed small extension add same. works fine, owing magento's limited support enhancing individual blocks, extension has provided whole new checkout/onepage/progress.phtml file implemented quite different theme (package) supplied progress box. deal have merge extension one-page progress.phtml theme's progress.phtml file , use instead.

but that's not question! question why store using extension progress.phtml file instead of theme's progress.phtml file?

i thought getting grips magento's ubercomplex templates, not! fix need revert theme's progress.phtml. elaborate...

the extension installs frontend/base/default , includes layout xml specifies:

<layout>     <checkout_onepage_index translate="label">         <reference name="checkout.onepage">             <block type="greenacorn_checkoutcoupon/onepage_coupon" name="greenacorn_checkoutcoupon.onepage.coupon" as="coupon" template="greenacorn/checkoutcoupon/onepage/coupon.phtml"/>         </reference>         <reference name="checkout.progress">             <action method='settemplate'>                 <template>greenacorn/checkoutcoupon/onepage/progress.phtml</template>             </action>         </reference>     </checkout_onepage_index>     <checkout_onepage_progress>         <reference name='root'>             <action method='settemplate'>                 <template>greenacorn/checkoutcoupon/onepage/progress.phtml</template>             </action>         </reference>     </checkout_onepage_progress> </layout>

can explain why develper has apparently set progress template twice?

now theme has following specified in frontend/[theme]/default/layout/checkout.xml

<checkout_onepage_progress>     <!-- mage_checkout -->     <remove name="right"/>     <remove name="left"/>      <block type="checkout/onepage_progress" name="root" output="tohtml" template="checkout/onepage/progress.phtml">         <block type="checkout/onepage_payment_info" name="payment_info">             <action method="setinfotemplate"><method></method><template></template></action>         </block>     </block> </checkout_onepage_progress>

my understanding stuff defined in configured theme takes precedence on stuff defined in frontend/default takes precedence on stuff defined in frontend/base. how template defined in extension taking precedence on template defined in theme?

checkout/index , checkout/progress 2 different pages: that's why developer set both them.

there should .xml file (maybe /app/code/community/greenacorn/checkoutcoupon/etc/config.xml) defining layout overwrites, in node like:

<layout>     <updates>         <extensionname>             <file>developer_extensionname.xml</file>         </extensionname>     </updates> </layout>

Java, Hibernate, MySQL - store UTC date-time -

i saw here on few related questions (like this one , of course, this one )... essentially, want store date-time utc, , let application user choose time zone wants display date-time in. since seems date-time fields affected underlying jdbc driver, wonder if acceptable way go storing utc date-time: set both mysql , application server machine utc time zone (no need separate) both mysql , jvm should pick underlying system time settings (if not instructed otherwise) use datetime table columns on mysql side use java.util.date corresponding mapping on hibernate side (i guess java.sql.timestamp used too) let application worry interpreting date-time fields - i.e. let user choose preferred time zone is ok? edit clarify - here meant refer timestamps created strictly on server (e.g.date-time of record creation). application server instantiates date objects (new date() equals current date-time on server, , time zone agnostic). if client user wants supply date searching/filte...
