Does anyone know how to make a theme key for addons?

[santolla]

This is crazy... there is no documention on how to add a theme key. Nobody is answering posts about it. 

 

I've tried everything from the old way to trying to add it into theme.yml

 

Nothing works. 

 

Anyone have that info they can share? Prestashop seems to be keeping it a secrete. he he

When you create your "theme" on Prestashop addons (you set all information about the theme), in the second step Prestashop will give you the theme key.

 

That's how it works with modules.

 

EDIT:

 

Now I see, that I probably misunderstood - you don't know WHERE TO ADD the key.  I'm also interested in this.

I have a theme key from my addons account. I just haven't a clue how to add it into my theme. 

 

There nothing telling how in 1.7 you add a theme key into theme.yml

 

Do you know how? 

 

Thank you!

I wrote to Prestashop support and they replied:

 

 

You can add the theme_key tag under the version tag in theme.yml.

 

So your theme.yml file could look like this:

 

name: jegia

display_name: jegia

version: 1.0.0

theme_key: jdduej383n3uc3n

...

 

Please let me know how it worked out

hi,

 

I have tried with following but not sucess to upload in prestashop addons

 

name: musetec
display_name: Musetec
version: 1.0.0
theme_key:a1cbc28f5c51699aefdedb2b0eefa500

I have no idea why... but mine started to work.

 

name: themename

display_name: themename

version: 1.0

theme_key: bc3dba7a0605e98b29e8b07c77839787

 

But it didn't for ages. Maybe it takes time for the theme key that is generated to register or something. Never happened with 1.6 themes in the config files tho.
