OC2PS Posted March 20, 2012 Author Share Posted March 20, 2012 A bare bones (hence skeleton) theme Explanation: http://www.prestashop.com/blog/en/prestashop_v15_revealeddiscover_the_skeleton_theme_by_vincent_augagneur/ More discussion: http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/108711-your-opinion-skeleton-theme-in-v15/ http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/5702-skeleton-theme/ http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/136341-bare-bones-version-1323-template http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/117465-presta-15-before-september http://www.prestashop.com/forums/index.php?/topic/143992-prestashop-alpha-1501-new-features-what-do-you-think-about-them/page__view__findpost__p__699960 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mexique1 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Hum, most of the subjects are around 1 year old... I assume nothing will happen There is not even a way to support multiple layouts in the current 1.5 source code, so I'm afraid we are far from what was proposed. I had written a ticket for this, but my session expired, so I gave up I have provided a FrontController override that supports this, but, as always, nobody cares : http://www.prestashop.com/forums/index.php?/topic/154032-override-support-des-layouts-dans-prestashop-14x I have been thinking about such a system to mockup quickly, but it sounds really complicated because of PrestaShop architecture. Anyway, this sounds interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had written a ticket for this, but my session expired, so I gave up Go on mate, write the ticket. It will take a bit of effort...maybe write in a text editor and then login and paste so that your work is not wasted...but I urge you to create that ticket. I have provided a FrontController override that supports this, but, as always, nobody cares : http://www.prestasho...-prestashop-14x That is just sad, and a shame really. "Not invented here" syndrome, do you think? If so, that would be far from the principles of open source... Skeleton theme is quite interesting. Also, I was thinking that if PS implements a WordPress-like child theme system, then Skeleton theme will *largely* resolve the backwards-compatibility issue with getting rid of Smarty. Once a large number of themes move on to base their child themes on Skeleton theme, then it won't matter to them which templating system is used - Smarty, Rain, Twig, PHP, whatever...and PS could then easily switch to PHP without causing too much furor.

mexique1 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Ticket created : http://forge.prestashop.com/browse/PSFV-701 "Not invented here" syndrome, do you think? Well, this is just a few lines of code I confes I sometimes have a strange feeling about PS open source strategy... I'm feeling there are some political stuff for which we can't blame the developers themselves that explains why the code is still not on GitHub or open to committers. But I'm still confident !

Mark Hesketh Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Hi guys, I actually started on a project to make my own 'skeleton' theme when I released the you one you mentioned looks like it'll never see the light of day. I'd been holding off doing anything as I was always thinking 1.5 was round the corner, but as thats not the case I think I'll pick it up again. Anyway, I wrote about it here: http://www.markhesketh.co.uk/blog/prestashop-starter-theme-boilerplate/ And started a Git Repo: https://github.com/heskethm/Prestashop-Theme-Boilerplate which to be honest, is pretty much the default theme with a few minor comments.

OC2PS Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 we will develop for the next major release. And that would be? 1.5.1? 1.6? 2.0?

Dreamtheme Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I wonder, what will happens with the people using the old default template when they upgrade to 1.5 via auto-upgrade function? their theme will be replaced with the new default template, and this means that their stores will be 100% messed, also all modules based on the old default theme will brake. So i guess there will be no Auto-upgrade from 1.4.x to 1.5? Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strapper Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 the auto-upgrade is for updating the files and datas from your previous prestashop to the new version. of course it can't take into account any manual modification to a theme, or a different theme structure you buyed at a theme creator. this has to be changed accordingly to the new javascript, css structure of any new prestashop version. it already took place between specific 1.4 prestashop versions for new versions of javascript files in the template, for example, and changes accordingly with the bug corrections in the tax calculations in the backoffice and so on.

Mark Hesketh Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 It'll be down to the theme author, or yourself, if you're using a custom theme. Usually theme authors update their themes for each version, so you'll need to wait until it has been updated or make the changes yourself. Prestashop can't be responsible for everyone's custom changes, though thankfully if overrides are used correctly this won't be too much of an issue.

Dreamtheme Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 You did not understand me, i wondered what will happen with the people who uses 1.4.x "Default" theme, not a custom one or modified ones. Because in the 1.5 the "Default" theme is different but it uses the same name and folder. I don't speak about custom themes here. How they will upgrade two completely different "Default" themes with the same folder name? Here it is an example, setup a store using 1.4.x now using the current "Default" theme, and you don't modify anything, when 1.5 arrive with the new "default" theme, how you will be able to auto-upgrade when the old "default" is in conflict with the new "default" theme. The current "default" theme don't have navigation bar module or slider for example, so you can't just update JavaScript or CSS only. Is this mean's that the old "default" theme will be replaced and erased, or what will happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mexique1 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 On the skeleton theme subject, this blog (which seems more aware of what PrestaShop is doing than us) is talking about an hypotetic responsive theme that will be shipped with 1.5 http://www.ziserman.com/blog/2012/04/01/prestashop-template-responsive/ Wait & see...

bazzlad Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Hey all, If you're looking for a barebones/skeleton theme to help speed up your development time, we've just finished creating one. It's had all the standard prestashop gunk stripped out, and has been completely remade using html5 and twitter bootstrap. It's fully responsive, to a max-width and (with one line of code change) can be fully responsive with 100% width. It's made by devs for devs - we think it'll save hours of coding - take a peek here: http://prestashopbootstrap.com/ Any thoughts, questions or comments welcome!

mexique1 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 awwww, this is awesome well done man Seems everybody's using Bootstrap ! I was planning to do exactly the same thing... And there is also this project https://github.com/heskethm/Prestashop-Theme-Boilerplate So now let's hope the community is able to bring a free version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
