Lindsayanng Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I figured since I am basically teaching myself prestashop by trying to make a prestashop cartlook exactly like one that I made in oscommerce, this would be relatively easy, but I am really confused right now. I completely understand how the basic file structure works and how to work with php / hooks and html / css. I know I can do a lot of stuff with CSS as far as making it look entirely different, but I want to learn how to change the theme core just so that I can learn. What has me confused is that no matter what changes I made with the .tpl files, nothing changes!! For instance, I opened product.tpl so that I could remove the tags from the product name and replace with a Seemed simple enough - i found the html structure with the hook for the product name.. When i saved and refreshed my cart NOTHING changed!! I tried this on few other files as well and NOTHING!! WHat am I doing wrong? When I reopen the file the change is shown in the code, just not on my computer. The other question I have is, what is the proper file to edit to completely customize the home page? Currently I am using the default template just to learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindsayanng Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 OH MY GOD I WAS RIGHT!!I had to do some digging, but I was doing everything right, but Presta Shop has some crazy "smarty cache" system built in, which doesnt get cleared when you hold shift. Forcing the computer to re-download the template every time I refresh fixed the issue and NOW I can see my changes. I am not crazy - i swear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
