Can't manage to find how to create a new block on homepage (CSS)

[ac75]

Hi everyone,

 

I've just started using prestashop, and I must admit that i'm pretty lost in the theme designing process. Usually i'm comfortable editing any CMS' basic theme by fiddling with the template, but I can't manage to find anything but the stylesheet here. I can definitely play around with the block properties, but understanding where these blocks are defined and creating new ones is a real pain.

 

What I'm looking to do is create a new block that would encircle everything below the upper horizontal menu bar. Is that even possible?

 

Thank you for your time!

with Prestashop, you would create a module that "hooks" into the "top of pages". Your module would then output its content and the Prestashop engine would display that content under the top menu

In addition to what bellini said, if you want to wrap all the top of pages modules, I'd create 2 wrapper modules, and place one at the beginning of the top of pages hooks list (the one with the opening tag) and one as last. note that this will only wrap the header_right part, so not the logo. Otherwise, you might want to add new hooks using the syntax explained here
