reclipse3 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 How can I rename the prestashop theme without causing any issues? Can I simply rename the folder via ftp tool? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Back up the actual theme folder/files to your PC, rename it and re-upload it to your website... Change the theme under the BO... and you are done... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reclipse3 Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 Makes sense. Thanks! Back up the actual theme folder/files to your PC, rename it and re-upload it to your website...

reclipse3 Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 So people don't see what shop I'm using via source code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reclipse3 Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 Some niche sites (like mine) have too much competition. If my competitors knew what shop software I was using, they'd quickly copy me. Prestashop is the best shop software available and in my opinion it shouldn't be free. I'd be willing to pay $300+ for the software. But that's just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copying and renaming you theme will not stop people from recignizing that it's a PS shop.You need a killer template for that, which the default template is not.

reclipse3 Posted February 7, 2009 Author Share Posted February 7, 2009 I created a new template and then removed the prestashop template. Now, if you click to view source code, it doesn't show the name prestashop anywhere. Of course people familiar with the script will know, but that's not who I'm trying to keep from figuring out.

reclipse3 Posted February 7, 2009 Author Share Posted February 7, 2009 Yeah right. If PrestShop started charging tomorrow, I guarantee you wouldn't start using osCommerce or any other shopping cart script.PrestShop is hands down the best script out there for an ecommerce site. Charging for it would eliminate a bunch of the amateur sites out there that don't give the script proper credit. Then, the sites that would be left out there would be run by people willing to back it and the feedback would be much higher quality (eliminating a bunch of kids and/or people not really interested in running a shop, just messing around, etc.).A superior script should be worth something, is all I'm saying.

Let me tell you that I'm running a heavely modified osCommerce shop that has run without any errors in the last 2 years.Comparing all the functions build in that shop by myself to PS makes PS no compatition.I do not mind paying for something or giving support (as I do on osCommerce and PS) but to say that PS is hands down the best script make me think that you must be joking.PS lacks some vital functions and still has to-many bugs to be fixt to give it that much credit.Needless to say that introducing new features in every new release and thus introducing new bugs should make you think twice BEFORE starting to use PS in a production enviremont.But that is my personal/professional opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reclipse3 Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 Perhaps there's many bugs, but that's because it hasn't been around as long as oscommerce. However, it would be nice if oscommerce had the look, feel and many of the latest features in shopping carts that you see with PS. I've setup a few oscommerce sites myself, with addons, custom templates, etc. but that script just feels as old as it is. PS is more cutting edge in my opinion.

That is because osCommerce was build when php3 was arround and has been backwards compatible ever since.PS is php5 only, wait another 3 php versions and lets see what the script looks like then.Furthermore, every feature PS has and lacks can be build in osCommerce, give and take a few bugs.The userbase is larger + the support is widely and thereforme much more stable.Like I said before, if the PS team would stop introducing new features but create a stable version first, would take more care about these forums and play a more active role on these forums + better moderating things would look much brighter......

reclipse3 Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 Yet you're still using PS and contributing to their forum yourself.....After another 3 php versions, PS will still be more advanced than oscommerce because PS builds on the latest trends.Every script and new feature has bugs and PS is working on them just like oscommerce. If PS is being compared to oscommerce already, that says something in itself.oscommerce needs to dump the old backwards compatible coding and create a new platform with newer code (i.e. get with the times).

If PS is being compared to oscommerce already, that says something in itself.oscommerce needs to dump the old backwards compatible coding and create a new platform with newer code (i.e. get with the times). Well, to me you have been not in contact with osCommerce in a long while.osCommerce has move ond since there has been mention of release of version3 (which is a dead end btw.)A new release has been made without the hassle of beeing compatible with php3 and php4, (here).Whatever you say, I am not comparing osC with PS, you started that and I'm just saying that there is no comparison possible as PS is miles behind in functionality, community. add-ons, support and stability.Again, you are trying to compare something new and still very buggy with something "old" but proven to be stable and trustworthy.In no way PS can compete with my osCommerce shop now and in the next 6 months until the dev-Team smarten up and listen to the people on these forums.To me it looks like they are in a vacuum and def to good advice from people who have "been arround the block".I'm now closing this discusion with you as to me it is abvious that you are blind and def to the shortcummings of PS.
