dazaau Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) Hi everyone, I have a store that has never really been live but has lots of products, pictures and prices on it. The owners finally decided to get it online and I thought it would be a good idea to upgrade it to the latest version before it was used. It was running a 1.4.1 and I used the automatic updater. I came across a few errors but after deleting the prestashop cache and re-installing some modules the back end seemed to be quite running quite beautifully - and still is. However from the start the default theme didn't display correctly, and neither did the custom theme I just purchased. I deleted the default theme and went to re-install it but can't find it anywhere. Does anyone have a clue as to why the display is so messed up and how to fix it. The site is http://thefullpantry.com.au When I say messed up I mean the menu bar is missing, the drop down menus are in the wrong place, the search bar floats in the middle of no-where etc. Thanks so much for any help, or just reading this far, I appreciate it! Daniel P.S - links, adding to cart and checkout all seem fine. Just the format is stuffed. This is what the current theme SHOULD look like (ignoring logos and custom colour) http://www.themespresta.net/images/pres3b_home.jpg Edited January 30, 2013 by dazaau (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvie Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Hi Daniel, in your place I would try to download a clean PS version (I suppose it will be 1.5.3 if you say you upgraded to the latest version) and copy the default theme folder - you will probably have to change the name of the folder and of the theme, too. Also, if you want your theme to display in Preferences -> Appearance, you need to create a new record for it first. It is in the same page. Then you should be able to see it in your BO and enable it. As far as I know, there were many changes in PS from 1.4 to 1.5 and generally it is not recommended to try to update your theme, but rather to edit the default 1.5 theme to get the desired look (however, I am not saying it's impossible). So, I am afraid if your newly bought theme isn't 1.5 compatible, it won't work.. Silvie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazaau Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 Thanks Silvie! I will download the default theme from the install package - thanks for thinking of that! The theme is 1.5.3 compatible, and I assume the problem is deeper as the default one wasn't working either. I'll switch it back to default after I install it and then people can see the problem. Thanks! Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazaau Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 I have put back the default template - and it looks very bad! http://thefullpantry.com.au Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvie Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Daniel, I think the issue is caused by some of your modules (homeslider) and the pictures - they are larger than what can fit in the template. Best solution for you IMHO would be to open the site in google chrome and use the inspect element feature to see the size of each block and its CSS rules and edit your css...

dazaau Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the help!, I reverted back to the original Prestashop install, reinstalled the upgrade and made sure I used a small .jpg for a test logo and set the template to default before I upgraded. After the upgrade and the fixes I end up back at this http://thefullpantry.com.au which doesn't look much like the default template here http://doc.prestasho...e=1344416572000 The main concern is the missing menu bar accross the top!

dazaau Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 It seems that I may be missing modules which is causing the problem, I have installed the menu bar and now that is much happier - still a ways form looking as good as the sample, but I think I am getting somewhere!
