logicallimit Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I am trying to install the New standard theme PrestaShop 1.5 in my local development environment based on WAMT server. It's a completely new setup with prestashop 1.4.7. When I import this theme (freshly downloaded from prestashop website) in my prestashop installation, not all modules are shown. Snapshot attached. blocktopmenu, blockcontact and some other are not shown. It's absolutely fresh installation on my local machine. Can somebody put some light, what is going wrong and where?

strapper Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 did you try to check the box "add all" instead of "add new" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logicallimit Posted April 26, 2012 Author Share Posted April 26, 2012 did you try to check the box "add all" instead of "add new" ? I suppose you are talking about the option under "Theme images configuration". That configuration is for image settings. As much as I know, it won't affect the respective modules showing up on the page. Actually all the new modules in this theme should show up on this page. If I consider the Config.xml in the zip file of theme, following is some snapshot of the node entries. And all these modules should show up in this page. <module action="install" name="blocktopmenu"/> <module action="install" name="blocksharefb"/> <module action="install" name="blockcontactinfos"/> <module action="install" name="blockcontact"/> <module action="install" name="blockbestsellers2"/> <module action="install" name="blockcart2"/> <module action="install" name="blockpermanentlinks2"/> <module action="install" name="sendtoafriend2"/> <module action="install" name="blockmyaccountfooter"/> <module action="install" name="blocksocial"/> <module action="install" name="blockreinsurance"/> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

logicallimit Posted April 26, 2012 Author Share Posted April 26, 2012 I have the same problem. And it's even more strange coz, before I installed prestashop 1.5 template, and mine template made on it, without any problems and now I have the same issue as logicallimit shown. Absolutely. Same with me. It was working till yesterday in my local environment. Today I tried to play with renaming module folders and then correspondingly in Config.xml. And it didn't work somehow. So to start afresh, I completely uninstalled and reinstalled WAMT and then installed prestashop and configured it. Tried to import that theme and whewwwwww.... it never showed me all the modules thereafter. It's over my head. If you get some solution, please do share.

Can someone try to install new presta theme on their hosting or local. Thanks in advance Absolutely. I have tested it on a absolutely newly setup computer with Win XP and fresh installation of wamp server and prestashop. But this problem is present there.Somebody from prestashop must look into it soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vdub Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 on the download page for this theme it states Installation is simple and fast: feel free to read the installation manual attached. But i can not see where its suppose to be attached ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logicallimit Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 anybody has any solution? Prestashop experts, I can understand you guys are very busy, but please take out 10 minutes to test it and let me know if you also face this problem. Unfortunately, I never receive reply from prestashop experts who are very active in this forum in other posts. Sort of bad luck may be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapees Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Really, prestashop developers, experts don't know how to fix it, or don't want to say something ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logicallimit Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 Really, prestashop developers, experts don't know how to fix it, or don't want to say something ? Try to post it in some other topics with similar problem. Although I have also posted but have not received any reply. If you get some solution, please do post here. I have also raised a bug for it, but I suppose no body is still assigned to it. Last time also I raised a bug and posted for help in forum when Ajax cart was not working, but nothing happened. No useful replies and resolution. Finally I had to make my site live without Ajax cart. I had directly sent personal message to some of the most active PS experts, but they never replied. So, it's hard to get a reply here. And for this issue, it seems more like a problem of the theme upload module, rather than theme problem itself. Probably it is not able to properly parse the Config.xml in the theme's zip file or not able to parse the module folders inside the zip file. As a workaround, what I am doing is to directly copy the modules and theme folders inside prestashop installation and then change the settings of each module individually after installing them through admin interface as per the "Config.xml". Very tedious but no other option available at this time. My experience with prestashop support is very bad. What value a good product has got when it can't help it's committed users when they need it most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamel Boukhateb Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 @logicallimit I invite you to try again the theme install. Let me know if you still have the error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

logicallimit Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 @logicallimit I invite you to try again the theme install. Let me know if you still have the error. Thanks Kamel, I'll check it up again by doing a completely fresh installation of everything. Will post tomorrow the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logicallimit Posted May 13, 2012 Author Share Posted May 13, 2012 @logicallimit I invite you to try again the theme install. Let me know if you still have the error. Yup, I tested it on PS 1.4.5.1 and it was working fine in there. Can you please tell me how it started working correctly. I unzipped the same prestashop code zip file and tested on it with same theme code zip file that I used earlier. But it is not giving error now. If I remember correctly, there is a code in theme installer module which checks some kind of XML file from prestashop website. This xml file carries listing of modules and some settings. Is it something related to that or something else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamel Boukhateb Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Hello, @logicallimit you are perfectly right. the xml file was edited a few weeks ago to be used by the developers of the 1.5. However they forgot that this file is checked often by the themeinstallator. Some modules like the blocktopmenu, blocksocial, are native in the 1.5 so everytime you wanted to export or import a theme, these modules were ignored causing the issue you had.

PF22 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Does it mean the new installation pack has been updated, notably there. http://addons.prestashop.com/fr/neutre/3337-prestashop-template-15.html Thank you ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamel Boukhateb Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 @Pat_07 I think the pack is fine as it is now. The problem wasn't coming from the theme. You should be able to install the theme without problem now, with all the modules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PF22 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Thank you Kamel. I will download it and install again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PF22 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 (edited) I am installing it again, and I have once again a warning that I will install new modules that already exist (image attached)... I don't know what to do with that. Edited May 24, 2012 by Pat_07 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamel Boukhateb Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Hello, It is not an error message. I guess you already tried to install this theme so its normal to see this message. It shouldn't be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
