Default theme modification

[Parlament]

Hello,

 

I am new to prestashop and want to create personal theme. I have never faced prestashop and smarty. So i decided to study default theme to create my own having a template from default theme. I just wanted to delete banner block, so i find piece of code where is that block banner in header.tpl

{capture name='displayBanner'}{hook h='displayBanner'}{/capture}
{if $smarty.capture.displayBanner}
	<div class="banner">
		<div class="container">
			<div class="row">
				{$smarty.capture.displayBanner}
			</div>
		</div>
	</div>
{/if}

So, i deleted that code, refreshed the page and nothing happend. Why? How i can delete modules from default templates to create my own? And yes, i understand that i can turn it off in admin panel, but i am interested in deleting it from theme.

 

Thanks everyone in advance

some modules are overriden in the default theme.

Take a look  at  themes/default-bootstrap/modules/blockbanner

Why not just unhook the modules you don't nedd?

I don't have this folder.

It is so easy to turn it off from admin panel. I want to understand how prestashop works so i just tried and nothing happend. It was a signal that i don't know something so i asked question here

If you open the main controller of blockbanner module (module responsible for showing the banner) and see the hookDisplayTop() function, you will see a file is responsible for showing the banners (i.e. blockbanner.tpl)

 

This file can be found at the following path:

 

/modules/blockbanner/blockbanner.tpl

 

You can try removing the code from this file to remove the banners.

Also, make sure you don't have "Never recompile templates" selected on the Advanced Parameters > Performance tab. That will prevent any changes you make to your TPL files from appearing on your website.
