agus2000 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 with the theme as ZIP compressed to upload by: module / administration..import / export theme .. click configure and upload your ZIP file that's is all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 It doesn't work though. Just gives the message 'Bad configuration'. I've tried this with several different themes and each time it fails?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWT Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I took the config file from a free 1.4 theme and re-configured it with my template and it loaded try that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Bingo :-)That works. I was looking at the config.xml within the themes folder.Their is however a different config.xml in the root of the .zip folder which contains the modules & theme folder.Thanks alot for the info!

RieVonE Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I took the config file from a free 1.4 theme and re-configured it with my template and it loaded try that How did you "re-configured" the xml file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenshi1023 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I think the configure (the xml file) tells the installer how to hook the modules in the theme... I haven't looked into the coding yet, but this is what I am suspecting upon glancing into the xml file codes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinwang Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 excuse me ,but how to find the right configure (the xml file)?thank you very much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWT Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 You have to create it or use the one in the free theme prestashop offers. You need to have everything match such as hooks, modules, and so on other wise it will come back as "Bad Config" the easyer way to install themes or older themes is to zip them up and upload to the theme dir on your server. you may also need to change the smarty settings from 2 to 3 or vice versa to work with older themes.

BWT Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 generally when you install a module or theme 1.4 creates a configure file for the object your installing. However if you wish to use the theme installer you need to create a config file from scratch it's difficult to just say how to do this because it's complex to do. The file has a lot of information for modules, set-up of other settings so, the easiest way to install a theme or a theme thats not for version 1.4 is to FTP it to your theme folder and set your smarty setting in the BO to what ever version theme your using.example 1.3.

Agree with you, it is easier to install via FTP, I dont think it so much fun to write config.xml to every theme we make, takes some time to get it nice and working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeannie109 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I have tried to do everything you suggested and it is still not working. Is there a way to just change the .css file? I only want to change a couple of colors and can't seem to find the correct .css file that will change a color on the front page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWT Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 @ jeannie to change theme go to global.css near top in the body section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
