Cannot apply themes to 1.2

[booblebab]

I installed a fresh copy of PrestaShop 1.2 on my server, and uploaded various themes (from www.prestathemes.com), but when I use the theme selector in the Back Office, everything is OK with the change, but I look at the Front Office and the theme hasn't been applied - and there's a list of all the website contents in Times New Roman. Have a look: http://lv.maf-shop.com/

It does this with EVERY theme.

I have tried copying over the original "prestashop" theme, and also creating new ones - nothing works.

What is the problem?

Hello,


Go to the theme that you want to use open header.tpl and make sure that the directory variable is like this

var baseDir = '{$content_dir}';

Remember to make a backup if this doesn't work.

Best,

GuitarPlayer.

[booblebab]

Thanks

It's actually set at:

ar baseDir = '{$base_dir}';

I'll change it.... ok, I changed it, and re-applied the theme, but it still doesn't work: http://lv.maf-shop.com/

[guitarplayer]

ok,

go to config/settings.inc.php and make sure it's this

define('__PS_BASE_URI__', '/');

remember to make backup

I too am experiencing this issue. I have tried both methods of the fix you suggested and still no go. Working on a site for someone and they want the "creation-shop-theme-1 / only-girls" theme. I apply the theme and it won't work. Any more though to why it does this?

ok,

go to config/settings.inc.php and make sure it's this

define('__PS_BASE_URI__', '/');

i cant find the config/settings.inc.php file in the main dir, nor in the themes dir...

[CGregory]

The file is

ROOT/config/settings.inc.php

However that fix didn't work for me.

[booblebab]

The file is

ROOT/config/settings.inc.php

However that fix didn't work for me.

i dont have that file...

[CGregory]

That's very intresting. I just installed Presta last night and its there. Not sure what to tell you.

[guitarplayer]

The file is

ROOT/config/settings.inc.php

However that fix didn't work for me.

i dont have that file...

The folder is named config and then you open settings.inc.php which is located in the config folder.

If you don't have this then no themes will work even the original 1.2 Prestashop Theme.

[booblebab]

Ah crap, I was looking in my local dir on Dw... but I didn't check the remote. It's there.
Sorry for being a dumbass.

Now to change what you suggested...

Ok, I checked, and it was already like that:

define('__PS_BASE_URI__', '/');

Strange... it seems 1.2 is buggy... I even tried a theme meant for 1.2 (Prestasweet 1.2)

[guitarplayer]

Hi,


at the moment in your source code I see this

<base href="lv.maf-shop.comhttp://lv.maf-shop.com/" />

it shouldn't be like that, have a look in header.php and if possible post the code here for me to see.

[junnecito]

Just to say that not all the themes from 1.1 are availeble for the ver. 1.2.

[booblebab]

Hi,

ok, i dont see anything irregular, but im not that up to speed with presta...

heres so u can have a looksie:

<?php

// P3P Policies (http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/REC-P3P-20020416/#compact_policies)
header('P3P: CP="IDC DSP COR CURa ADMa OUR IND PHY ONL COM STA"');

require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/init.php');

/* CSS */
$css_files[_THEME_CSS_DIR_.'global.css'] = 'all';

/* Hooks are volontary out the initialize array (need those variables already assigned) */
$smarty->assign(array(
   'HOOK_HEADER' => Module::hookExec('header'),
   'HOOK_LEFT_COLUMN' => Module::hookExec('leftColumn'),
   'HOOK_TOP' => Module::hookExec('top'),
   'static_token' => Tools::getToken(false),
   'token' => Tools::getToken(),
   'priceDisplayPrecision' => _PS_PRICE_DISPLAY_PRECISION_,
   'content_only' => intval(Tools::getValue('content_only'))
));

if(isset($css_files) AND !empty($css_files)) $smarty->assign('css_files', $css_files);
if(isset($js_files) AND !empty($js_files)) $smarty->assign('js_files', $js_files);

/* Display a maintenance page if shop is closed */
if (isset($maintenance) AND (!isset($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']) OR $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] != Configuration::get('PS_MAINTENANCE_IP')))
{
   header('HTTP/1.1 503 temporarily overloaded');
   $smarty->display(_PS_THEME_DIR_.'maintenance.tpl');
   exit;
}

$smarty->display(_PS_THEME_DIR_.'header.tpl');

?>

[guitarplayer]

well that looks ok to me

does the official Prestashop 1.2 theme work for you? the one supplied with the download of Prestashop.

[booblebab]

yes - and the only theme i managed to apply was Prestasweet 1.2 without Logo Hack (it's pretty much just replacing a few files of the original prestashop... so no wonder): http://www.prestathemes.com/demoshop6/

Hi I am having the exact same problem when trying to install the themes, can somebody help!!!!! also i have got the custom template on now, and may I take this opportunity to say that after trying many shopping carts (test the water over the past few weeks) Think that this is the best one by far the only one I cant rate it against is magento. But alot better than zen and cubecart, oscommerce.

Can someone help me how do I edit the first page in www.chippedmodems.com ? I dont know where to take the french writing out or edit the names of pics etc etc etc

Thanks in advance.

Hey Andy,


Go to the back office - then click the modules tab - on the modules page find the tools section of modules - then click configure where Home Text Editor is written.


Best,

GuitarPlayer.

P.S the text is Latin.

[andybr1ggs]

Hi

I have found a very simple way to fix so you can use v1.1 themes goto backoffice themes backoffice > preferneces > scroll all the way to the bottom and tick the v1.1 theme compatibly

;-)

[CGregory]

Not seeing what your referring to. I see nothing about 1.1 compatibility.


** Correction

Now I see the option. Should have stated to make sure and get the updated release made yesterday. Now that I updated to the most current I see the option.

[andybr1ggs]

have you download the latest prestacart ? Version 1.2.1.0 ?

[CGregory]

yea, saw .. I updated my post right after I saw they had a new release.

[khinester]

Hello, I am building a new theme and have followed the example as per http://www.prestashop.com/wiki/Themes/

But the only way I could force to use the new theme is to update the $ vim config/settings.inc.php

so that

define('_THEME_NAME_', 'mytheme');

I looked at the permissions for this folder and it is set as:

$ chmod 777 config

$ ls -al config
total 40
drwxrwxrwx 6 khine khine 204 Nov 17 10:12 .
drwxr-xr-x 62 khine khine 2108 Nov 17 10:12 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 khine khine 5893 Oct 28 10:46 config.inc.php
-rw-r--r-- 1 khine khine 300 Oct 26 09:51 index.php
-rw-r--r-- 1 khine khine 429 Nov 17 10:09 settings.inc.php
-rw-r--r-- 1 khine khine 3224 Oct 26 09:51 smarty.config.inc.php

what should be the correct write permissions for the config folder and the file contents?

$ chmod 666 config/settings.inc.php

Is this correct?

[karasardelis]

I'm too having the exact same problem... I downloaded a new v1.2 theme, i changed all permissions but I'm unable to apply the theme... Anyone available to help, please?
