Hi My installation of prestashop 1.7.7 will not send mail from the php mail() function. It gives this error when tested: Error: Please check your configuration.Expected response code 220 but got an empty response. The hosting company won't allow connection over SMTP can anyone shed any light on why or how I can get the php mail() function to work? I've tested with another mail script on the server and it will send but only to a gmail address! Any help is much appreciated. Thanks Jon

Hi I've got a problem with the mobile version of a site. During the checkout process users get stuck on the select carrier page the next button doesn't take them to the next screen to complete payment. Anybody come accross this or have any solutions? The site is www.sunhigh.co.uk and there is an error in the console of "ReferenceError: updateExtraCarrier is not defined". If you disable mobile jquery then it works fine but obviously you lose all the styling that's applied through jquery. Anybody got any solutions? Thanks!

Hi, I've altered both module and core .tpl files within a prestashop theme how do I go about then updating a site once I've done this. The client wanted specific things on each page so I had to alter the actual .tpl files. Can I simply update prestashop and then overwrite the files I altered back in the correct places? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks Jon

Hi, I'm having a problem with prestashop 1.5.3.1 in the prices tab when you click on the 'save and stay' button the screen refreshes and saves the info but the graphic that appears over the top doesn't hide again so you can't then edit the info you've just entered. My client is finding this a bit annoying anybody have any suggestions as to what it might be? Thanks Jon

Hi, I'm having trouble with price per unit and the combinations in prestashop 1.5.3. I've built a site that is going to sell products in a wholesale manner so in bulk quantities. To do this I've setup a product as a single item (eg 1 towel), I've then created combinations of this so user have to purchase in packs of 12 say so a typical product could have combos for: 12 24 36 This works fine and the defined total prices work fine. However I want to show users the cost per unit to them which will go down as the overall price increases, however when I go to enter a price into the price per unit field in each combination it just seems to increase the price per unit? Can anyone explain to me how the price per unit is supposed to work and or if I need to alter anything anywhere to stop it performing the calculation it's doing? Thanks Jon

Hi, Anybody got any ideas about this I used this (http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/79566-solved-include-a-cms-page-into-the-template/) method in prestashop 1.3 but doesn't seem to work in 1.4? Any ideas would be much appreciated!! Thanks

Hi I've developed a site using prestashop 1.3.6 the site has worked great up until the client has discovered that messages aren't coming through when a client purchases a product. When first setup this worked fine and the BO contains all the messages that were originally sent now everything else works fine but the messages don't come through. Anybody got any ideas what might be the problem? As an alternative fix does anybody know how a user could enter a new name for their order to be sent to - eg a simple text input box on the order where they can enter a new name for the product to be sent to - not a full adress just a name. Thanks Jon

Hi, I’ve been installing and integrating prestashop for a photography site I’ve been working on. I’ve added different size attributes for some products on this site these sizes increase the price. However when I add a product with an attribute to the cart and chose an attribute that should alter the price all that seems to happen is that the default attribute is added to the cart along with the default price. The address for the demo site I’m working on is http://www.jondrew.co.uk/jamesbellphotography.co.uk Any help is much appreciated!! Thanks Jon

Paul, Thanks for the reply so is there a way of adding code into a module so I can use a new hook? I'm new to the whole hook system and it seems very limiting, I simply want to add a horizontal navbar but I've already used the hook_TOP and HOOK_LEFT_COLUMN in the header to hold other modules so how could I place a navigation menu without creating a new custom hook? Thanks - sorry really new to presta shop Jon
