jtrlho Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Hi,We're running a jewelry shop using Prestashop and we're about to upgrade to version 1.4. We haven't found any great themes for 1.4 but we've found one for 1.3.x.: http://cms.template-help.com/prestashop_31021/Can this theme (or any theme for that sake) be upgraded for version 1.4? Is it something that we can do ourselves? I work with IT daily so I know my way around a bit of php and css if that's needed.Thank you kindly in advance.Best regards,Lars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aLcATRAZ Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I'm also interested in this since there are not that many 1.4 themes available. Have found a great theme 1.3.2 compatible that I wonder how much work it would be to upgrade it, maybe very little? If I had the possibility to try it I would but I need to purchase it to do so and thats a bit risky. /Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrestaSupport Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 HiI dont know your skills but there is some work to upgrade a theme to 1.4It is a lot of css coding as the new 1.4 has many modules etc in separated css folders/files instead of before where it was most of the code in global.cssAnd there is much more things to think about when upgrading a theme.(to much to be written in this tread)I guess it depends on your skills. For me that works with it every day I would say it is easy but takes time.Okey, have a nice day all prestapeople Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtrlho Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 Same here.Is it possible to create a list of steps required in order to convert a theme? I guess many people are in the same situation facing a Prestashop theme upgrade.Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asenar Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Hi guys,this tools can help you : http://validator.prestashop.comIf some people have already updated their 1.3 thème, please post your tips here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bella Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I zipped all the files in the theme folder on my hard drive using WinRAR into a .zip format and tested it in the Theme Validator at the link shown above. I have been informed by the Validator that my archive (am currently using ET Black on PS ver 1.3.1.1) is invalid - does this mean the theme is invalid? It is the only one I can find that matches the rest of my website (the ecommerce section is only a part of the whole website).What can I do to make it valid? Is there any tutorial or anything to help out with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestaSupport Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Hi!If you look at the structure for a theme for 1.3 version and compare it to the structure that it is on themes made for version 1.4, you will se some major difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bella Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 So is it possible to make changes to make them compatible or are we stuck with starting all over, i.e., either finding a different theme that IS made for 1.4 or doing all the work to modify the 1.4 default theme to something akin to what we had chosen (and modified) in ver 1.3?

PrestaSupport Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 It is 100% possible to upgrade your 1.3 theme to 1.4.I hope (but not promise) i have time to make a manual for this to all of you out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestaSupport Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Hi!Here is a guide for update 1.3 theme to 1,4http://prestashop-planet.com/blog/?p=5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bella Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Sampras99 - I LOVE you!! Thank you so much for this! I am sure I am not alone in my relief in seeing this and my appreciation and gratitude! I think this tutorial should be part of the Prestashop wiki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ufikas Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Dear Sampras99,thank you for the guide, it's awsome.Just one thing i've noticed. From what i've seen in 1.3 Presta themes, they were using Smarty 2 there.Now Smarty 3 is being used in Presta 1.4. Don't we need to adjust tpl files to meet smarty 3 requirements so theme would be fully compliant with Presta 1.4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestaSupport Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Hi!The upgrade is being built at 1.4 tpl files, as we built the upgrade on a default prestashop theme, so it meet smarty 3 requirements.If your old 1.3 theme has some core code changed that doesnt fit 1.4 tpl's you have to change it.
