Adapting Black & White theme

[9ashes]

I'm rather new to prestashop and have been adapting a free theme from 2link called Black and White.

 

For some reason there has appeared a 'Free Home Slideshow module for Prestashop' and when I changed the name of the theme it moved this slideshow thing to the top of the page. Now, it seems to be part of the Home Text Editor so i went to that editor and the default prestashop info (about ipods etc) was there but it doesn't appear there now.

 

I don't want this slideshow thingy to appear at ALL, I just want to delete it so I can use the home test editor like normal.

 

PLEASE HELP!

 

Here's the link to my shop: http://www.cherryparade.com/shop/

Hi, I also use the Black White theme from 2link

 

If you don't want the slideshow, but you want to use "Home Text Editor" module do the following steps:

 

1. Remove the editorial folder from ~/themes/blackwhite/modules/

2. Copy the editorial folder from ~/modules/

to ~/themes/blackwhite/modules/

3. In back office, find "Home text editor" and click on Reset

 

Hope it works for you

Thanks ukmacnut for the advice.

 

Unfortunately, it has not helped and the problems are still there.

 

This is doing my head in! Please help!!!

You need to edit the editorial.tpl file which is located in modules/editorial/ folder on your server, and remove the section of code at the top which deals with the slideshow (you can also change the images there).

 

Don't forget to force compile and turn off cache in preferences>performance in your back-office.

jhnstcks, thanks for the post but would you be able to be any more specific? I'm really sorry to ask but I've not ammended tpl files before and I don't want to mess up my shop! Here's the coding from the editorial.tpl file...

So did anyone solved how to change links destinations in slider of this theme ?

[Mica]

hello everybody,

 

i might have found a way to change the text and link destinations of this theme:

1. go to ~themes/blackwhite/modules/editorial
   
2. open editorial.tpl
   
3. look for the slides, which are divided by <!-- SLIDE 1 -->, <!-- SLIDE 2 -->, etc.
   
4. scroll down to EACH silde section until you find this
   <span class="slide_caption">
   {l s='Free Home Slideshow module' mod='editorial'}
   <a href="http://dgcraft.free.fr/blog/index.php/category/free-prestashop-modules/"> {l s='for Prestashop' mod='editorial'}
   
5. change it to
   <span class="slide_caption">
   {l s='YOUR TEXT' mod='editorial'}
   <a href="YOUR URL/"> {l s='YOUR LINK TEXT' mod='editorial'}
   

let me know if this helps you solving this problem!
