[Solved] DB Table that holds theme config

[zeratool]

Hello,

 

What table is used for theme config , cuz I cannot change the default theme to my custom  theme thru the backoffice.

 

"Back Office >> Preferences >> Appearance >> Theme"

 

Im using 0.9.7

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

Your PrestaShop current theme is stored in your settings.inc.php file :

 

define('_THEME_NAME_', 'default');

 

If your custom theme is not displayed in the backoffice, did you put a preview.jpg file in your theme directory ? (eg. /themes/mytheme/preview.jpg)

 

Best regards,

Oh I see, I thought it was saved on a db table, so it's in a file. Ok thanks i changed the theme now, and when I look now at the back office it's sync as well. I think the settings.inc.php file is not writable that's why it doesn't reflect when I change it on the backoffice.

 

Thanks again.

That is very old but i was searching for information about the name of the table for PS 1.7.3 that needs to be changed in the date base. So it is SELECT * FROM `ps4e_shop` the MySql or simply ps4e_shop. There and also config/defines_uri.inc.php the first line _PS_DEFAULT_THEME_NAME_ . After you upload your new theme , change the name to those two places and you are good to go. Also very important is your config.yml in the theme's folder. If there is someting messed up to that file will give you error like " A YAML file cannot contain tabs as indentation at line 69"  That was my case and just wanted to share experience for future reference.

Cheers.
