PrestaShop and Dreamweaver

[luis_zgz]

Hello,
I download my PrestaShop in my computer to edit the folders and other things.
I click for example in \public_html\index.php but is only one folder, I want to open the whole Shop with Dreamweaver to edit it easier.
Could somebody help me?

Hi there,

I´m new here and saw your thread about Prestashop and Dreamweaver. Did you get this to work somehow?
Kind regards,
Thomling

Thom, you don't really need Dreamweaver for prestashop. The many parts of prestashop are divided into loads of files that come together in the browser (i.e why you think the index.php has all the page).

Go to your theme folder, and duplicate the prestashop default theme, and then rename that folder whatever you want and then inside your theme, you can look at the code inside the template files. Header.tpl, footer.tpl, etc. and edit them if you need to. You can open these in Dreamweaver and edit the code, but you can't "see" the design, only the code. To edit the location of modules, or what modules to have on your website, you use the back office tabs. If you want to modify the look of the website, there's the main css file inside your themes/yourtheme/css/ and all the images inside the img folder. Edit all that for the visuals.

I was once confused as to why i couldn't use dreamweaver, but i learned that you don't need it (apart from opening the code files in it to edit them easily because notepad is a pain)

Komodo kicks the rear off Dreamweaver anyways. If you want to edit the style while looking at the site, then you need Web Developer, or perhaps Firebug.

You have to define your site in dreamweaver.
On right, you have Site -> New site and you must complete those fields.
After that, all your files will be listed in the right panel.
