Prestashop theme validator


Recommended Posts

I would like to update to 1.4 and to verify my theme

http://validator.prestashop.com/?page=guide


"You must have a prestashop installed with root permission to access in the module section and an access to the theme directory"

I can't find the way to export my theme. How tha hell I can do that?

I need to reinstall prestashop? How I change permissions so I see this export stuff?

I' m loosing my mind

Thank you in advance!

Regards

Sorry for the answer delay,

Did you export your theme using the module in your prestashop ?

When the error "Zip file seems to be broken" occured, it's sometimes due to an error during the import or compression process.

Did you try again ?

Regards


Hi #Vincent Schoener

First of all thank you for your answer.

As soon as I figure out that for exporting the themes I need 1.4 version I updated my website to localhost to this version.

I tryed that several times but the results is the same.

I even tryed to manualy zip the template, but the results are still the same.

This is the first step that I need to take in order to sucessfuly upgrade and go live.

Maybe the problem is because of the localhost.

I want the new version very badly! ;-)

I made other test with a different PHP version and this occur, rarely, but he does with PHP version older than 5.3.0 ...
This depend of the number of file present in the archive, the length of the name directory or file, etc ...

It's very special and we are working on it to find a solution quickly.

So the only thing I should do is to update my xampp to the latest php version and then retry.


Thank you and the prestashop team for the amazing work you are doing!

Not you :)

It's not coming from the 'Import / export theme' module, but our Validator server. Don't worry I keep this thread up to date while we work to solve this problem.


Ups... Ok :red:


Thank you one more time!

One more question.
I need to update my theme to support 1.4. How can I do that, is there some guidelines?

I have tried to use the prestashop validator and when I upload the zip file from the Import/export a theme v1.3 by PrestaShop module, I just get that its uploading and nothing more after about 15 minutes of uploading.

Regards,

Mark.


Like Vincent said they are working on the solution, then we will be abble to verify the theme. Because they need to update PHP version.

Hi,

I'm happy to tell you that we solve the problem with the error 'Zip seems to be broken' :)

@Jeet : Can you try again with your theme and give me a feedback ? :)

@thehandlestudio: Normally the upload process depend of your bandwidth connexion, but 15 minutes :/. Which theme did you test ? Can you try again too and come back to tell us if the problem is still present ?

For now, the validator tell you where is the problem but not the information to solve it, but it will soon :). Meanwhile, you can use the prestashop theme (1.4) as an example,

I Hope this help :)

Am I correct in understanding that in order to use the import/export module, you have to have v1.4 PrestaShop installed?

If so, that kind of is confusing because the instructions are in the .pdf about how to upgrade to v1.4, and to make sure the theme is compatible *first*... I would like to validate my modified theme before I update, in case it will not be compatible and would cause me problems. I can't even see where to get the import/export theme module? Does anyone know?

Actually, there isn't any explanation to build by yourself the archive on the website (it will). You can follow these steps to do it:

- Put your theme file and folder into a directory named as you want 'mybeautifultheme' for example
- Create a 'themes' folder and put the directory you just created into this one ('mybeautifultheme' to follow the example).
- Create the archive with your preferred archive manager in zip format.

Now you can submit your archive to the validator :)

If your having trouble with the import/export theme it may also be because you don't have the config.xml file loaded inside the zipped folder which tells version 1.4 how to set it up via the theme installer the config file also has all other settings in it such as the modules for that theme.

Hi guys,

 

My PS version is 1.4.2.5 and I'm using Prestashop 1.4 Alternative theme. I'm in trouble with adapting my theme to Smarty 3. I want this coz I want to use CCC compression feature. I can here that you say "your theme is already compatible with smarty 3!" :)

 

When I first time dig into PS, I knew nothing about it. I didn't even know there was a module "Theme Installer" and I installed the theme old school style (copy-paste into themes folder) and selected Smarty 2 option in preferences tab. Since then I've made many changes in the theme.

 

Now, for obvious reasons, I must modify my theme for Smarty 3. Is there any way for me to do that? Thanks.
