Official Mobile Theme in Prestashop 1.5.0.17 [FINAL] . Worse than 1.4 theme?


Recommended Posts

Hi! I´ve just updated to Prestashop 1.5.0.17 and checked "Activate mobile theme" under "Preferencees -> Themes" and the result is a very basic, gray coloured theme with some errors.

 

Is this the normal behaviour or I´m having some update issues?

 

Where are the functions of the official mobile theme (see pic below)?

Interested in what developers have to say. :)

1. How can we Exclude the ipad from displaying the mobile version.

2. How can we change the slider images? Is this something that needs to be done in the code?

 

Edit: I See its based on the home featured products. Maybe it would be nice if you had an option to display home featured products or slider images, that you can setup in the back office.3. Wen we first installed the theme we got an error at the installation... because in line 160 of the Config.inc.php was a <?php witch is not good because PHP is already opened in line 1.

4. I'm Missing the Shop LOGO maybe this could be on top of the website and users can choose the size in the backoffice..

Hi,

 

The loading speed of mobile version is extremely slow. Ive checked a few sites I have on various networks and connections and I wouldn't wait for it to load. It seems to load the entire scripts before showing anything. Anyone else find this an issue?

 

Tks

Alan

Hi coyners25,

 

Just thought I'd point out the most common reason I've noticed for the 1.5.x mobile theme loading slow is the category listview that is added to most pages. You may see for yourself that a page that doesn't have this listview loads much faster (e.g. try a product page, yourdomain.com/index.php?id_product=1&controller=product), probably faster than your desktop theme.

 

The reason for this is the way jQuery Mobile parses the entire nested list of categories that are provided by the server. If you use Chrome's developer tools (or similar) you can see in your source code how every sub-category and it's sub-sub-categories are created from scratch every time. On a (relatively weak) mobile this would take forever (...minutes) if you have hundreds of sub- and sub-sub-categories. Even on a desktop PC it could take quite a few seconds.

 

For my purposes, since I had over 1000 categories, I simply replaced the entire category tree with the top-level categories and linked each to a page with all direct sub-categories at the top of every page and relevant products underneath, much like my desktop theme.

 

Cheers

Did you manage to solve this issue somehow, FreshCommerce or anyone else? I'm getting frustrated... I migrated my 1.5.0.17 to 1.5.4 a year ago but obviously, this damn feature of 1.5.0.17 was passed on to the newer version as I used my original template.

Did u find how to do it?Thanks

 

Hi, You can only work in .tpl  and .css  archives in themes/default/mobile
 
In my opinion, this is a very bad point in prestashop, you can´t edit mobile theme if you upgrade to prestashop 1.5
 
Finally, only are two ways, one are pay one expert to work in mobile theme or install responsive theme in your web, but responsive theme are very slow in movile devices.
 
 
Now, in year 2014, prestahop need make a solution, prestashop need make a perfect mobile and sell in addons for community .
