weezawoo Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Can you change the layout of product pages? I need a customisation option on my products, every single one of them. But I feel it is really confusing for customers as it has all the options and add to cart at the top, then a bit for products in the same category and under that more info and have to click on to customisation I worry that people might miss this until they add to cart and it errors telling them to fill it in. Is there any way to either move the other category products to below other info or remove completely. Or an option to add boxes for info above the add to cart?

vekia Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 you can change product layout page by editing template file: themes/your_theme/product.tpl and related to it css styles what exactly you want to edit in other section? Can you prepare a screenshot? It is hard to say what you have to do, because above cart are many modules and template elements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weezawoo Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) I have added a screen shot of what I want to move does that help? Although I don't know CSS so probably won't be able to do anything here I am near giving up with prestashop after so many hours as it is so hard to get it looking how I want and the look is very important to me Edited March 17, 2013 by weezawoo (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vekia Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 in this case it isn't hard to apply changes. What you have to do? Just go to the themes/your_theme/product.tpl fie and open it with something like notepad etc. you're looking for something like: "<!-- description and features -->" cut all code below this line and paste it above the: {if isset($HOOK_PRODUCT_FOOTER) && $HOOK_PRODUCT_FOOTER}{$HOOK_PRODUCT_FOOTER}{/if} in the same file. After that you will get exacty what you want :-) in some cases you must turn force compilation setting to on in prestashop, without this your changes will not appear. remember to turn it off remember to make a backup of product.tpl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weezawoo Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 Thank you, Where do I find these files, is this in the folder on my computer? Then once I change it I need to reinstall the theme? Sorry if that isn't correct Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vekia Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Your shop is on remote web server? If so, you must connect to the FTP and download files from path that i mentioned above. After changes you must upload it again and overwrite old one. After upload new template files it isnt necessary to reinstall theme. The additional thing is to turn on force compilation in prestashop, without this any changes in template files may not appear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weezawoo Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 I don't know. Basically I have hosting from a friend and he has just installed prestashop for me and gave me a log in for it. I don't have a control panel to get to prestashop, I log straight into the prestashop admin. I don't know how I would get to the FTP you are talking about. Literally the first page I open is the prestashop back office home page. Sorry if this makes no sense!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vekia Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Ok, in this case you must have got an access to the FTP. Contact with your friend and ask for login and password to the FTP service. If you will get it then you must connect with FTP via software like total commander - http://www.softwaretipspalace.com/how-to/206-create-ftp-connection-with-total-commander.html I must also say that all of this is not difficult. If you want, I can assist you in the changes you want to make, I am convinced that after a few times before you will understand what this is all about, and after then you will make changes by yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weezawoo Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 Thank you, I have sent him a message with your reply in so hopefully he can help me! I think he is in Church for a few hours now so be a while until I get a reply! Also really really appreciate the help, I sound like I am being really stupid but I just want to be able to do what I want with the site but when people reply I kind of go 'I do not understand that' I just can't afford to pay hundreds for a website to be set up and am really eager to learn to do it myself, prestashop seems very complex though and I am worried I will do some settings incorrectly.
