Themes compatibility with 1.5

[Dreamtheme]

It was stated that 1.4.x themes will be compatible with 1.5 from Presta Team, however if we export the default 1.4.7 theme for example and import it into 1.5, the theme import successfully but its not visible in theme choices.

 

Its seems there is a new configuration for the themes and they show at different section. Could you advise what new configuration should we add in order to make the old themes compatible. Also a 1.5 theme validator will be good.

The 1.5 default theme have this config (exactly the same as the default theme of 1.4), strange:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<theme>

<version value="1.4">

<ccc available="true" />

<guest_checkout available="true" />

<one_page_checkout available="true" />

<store_locator available="true" />

</version>

</theme>

Yes i saw that, but still the theme is not visible in theme choices in the Back Office, so probably has something else to add somewhere.

Hey!

 

Did you pass by the module "theme installator"?

[Dreamtheme]

Yes it passes ok, (only errors for image sizes that exist). I seems to find the proper way.

 

So once you install a theme from theme installer, you have to go to modules - themes, click on the right green "add new" and add new theme. After that go to Shops tab, and if you directory is correctly added you will see your theme as option.

 

However i think this is very confusing, hope they will not let it that way.

Yeah, it's true
