Yoosuf Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Did you go through this answer Also, did the theme work before you installed the modules? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vekia Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 it looks like theme isn't fully compatibile with your prestashop version, especially modules (slider from error code) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natte99 Posted September 14, 2013 Author Share Posted September 14, 2013 tnks for you answers guys, @yoosuf I had a fully working website, and i tried to add a new theme. when i tested it it came with these error messages. i decided to go back to my previous default theme, but unfortunately that doesnt work anymore. only thing i changed in the backoffice was the image size under the menu preferences. (preference -> image) @vekia think so as well, but for some reason i cant go back to my previous 'default' theme. I mean, i can select it in the backoffice. but after pressing ctrl+F5, my website remains unreachable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well in that case I suggest that you should manually code the theme into prestashop if you have access to a demo of that demo online. Copy the necessary parts of the html and paste it into the related tpl files of the theme directory. However you should remember that you may not be able to get any modules which came with this theme to work. However the benefit of doing this the longer way is that even if you do get an error in future you know exactly what is wrong. Furthermore it would significantly reduce the chances of errors once you do this correctly But first try to get access to the html of the theme and then search for the necessary modules, i.e. slider, featured products etc which you would need for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natte99 Posted September 14, 2013 Author Share Posted September 14, 2013 i now switched off the modules where the error messages was referring to. At least im now able to access my website, though its a big mess. looks like the theme i tried to install has overwritten my default theme.

Yoosuf Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 well as you mentioned installing a theme it easy and only requires a few steps to complete. However the complexity of the theme increases for the end user based on how it was developed and the associated versions used. Therefore I strongly believe that the version of your prestashop installation is incompatible with the version for which the theme you installed was built, and as a result it gave rise to the error message which you are experiencing now. Another point for you to take into consideration is that unlike other themes and templates, certain prestashop themes rely on modules in order to display correctly. So you need to manually install and configure each of them prior to getting the overall look of the site. Go through this documentation to get started with prestashop themes and learn about Hooks and some of the basic smarty tags as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, presently you are using the default theme It is a mess because of the modules which were activated from your previous theme, so if you manually try to deactivate them it should be back to normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natte99 Posted September 14, 2013 Author Share Posted September 14, 2013 oke, your answers put me in some directions. I will not say that my topic is solved now, but at least i know what to do now (and what not to do in the future). What i discovered (and perhaps i can help some people with this) is that it is not so easy to switch between themes. Everytime you upload a new theme, that theme will disable and enable certain modules. If you dont like your installed theme it is not easy to roll back to your previous one. Just clicking between themes in the menu 'preferences -> themes ' will not work due to enabled/disabled modules. also your lay-out can be changed from 3 colums to 2 colums. if this happens it is almost impossible to get your website working again. What i did to restore my website (and it is still far from how it was). i downloaded a theme what was almost similar to my theme one www.freeprestathemes.com . after that i disabled and re-positioned the modules. please think twice when considering uploading a new theme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stottycabanas Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Having thought twice, take a BACKUP of your store before installing a new theme or module. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its also important to note that if you install a quality theme from a reliable vendor the chances that it would change the entire system is negligible. What I want to emphasize is that, especially when trying out free prestashop themes available online always try them out on a fresh install of prestashop so that you do not put yourself into unnecessary problems.
