hasebear Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Hello, I have little skills about making web sites, but I'm trying to make my online shop with PrestaShop. Then, I downloaded PrestaShop latest version 5.1, and I have couple of questions. Questions; 1 How to edit header, footer, featured products, and slideshow picture? For example, in footer of default theme, there are some iocn like "money back", "exchange in store", and below of that "categories", "information", "my account".., how to edit these content? 2 How to put shipping options when my customer purchase items? For example,He/She can choose no option, special delivery option +$10, another special delivery option +$20, and if he/she choose option, it'll be add up the total amount. 3 How to set the auto-reply mail when my customer ordered, and my customer send us e-mail? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjamin utterback Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Hello hasebear, There are some nice tutorials online. http://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/edu/prestashop-15 Video tutorials by Nemo1 : http://nemops.com/category/tutorials/basics/ PrestaShop Documentation: http://doc.prestashop.com/display/PS15/User+Guide I think if you go through these links you will have a much better understanding of PrestaShop and how it works. 1) To edit slideshow go to Modules and search "Image Slider" it should be called that for your homepage. to change the footer, go to modules and search "Block reinsurance"... you can click Configure to configure these modules. 2) You can learn about shipping from the tutorials posted, it can definitely be a trial and error process. 3) PHP mail should work for your hosting provider you can go to "Advance Parameters> Email" to set up and test the Email function. I hope this helps and goodluck! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hasebear Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 Hello Benjamin, Thank you so much for your post! I'll read them and try to work it out. I was totally stuck, so, thank you again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NICIADOG Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Does block reinsurance 2.0 that was working in the earlier version not work in v 1.5.3? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PascalVG Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) Hasebear, Just to add my 2 cents to Benjamins extensive answer: Most texts, titles, wordings, error messages, texts of emails etc. in both front office (i.e. your shop that the customer sees) and the back office (your administration pages) you can change in localizations->translations. Just click a sub categorey (for example installed modules translations, then click the flag of your language (the USA flag for changing English to some other English) Have fun exploring!

NICIADOG Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Pascal ... thanks for your input! I hadn't explored the 'localizations' yet. When I do click the front office translations, then the flag, I get an error message that reads: Warning, your PHP configuration limits the maximum number of fields to post in a form: 1000 for max_input_vars. Please ask your hosting provider to increase the this limit to 1318 at least or edit the translation file manually. I went into php.ini to find "max_input_vars" but literally no show! Sent off an email to the hosting company asking for help with that. Is that the only place where I can make this change ... in the php.ini ? Thanks and best to you, -D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PascalVG Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Hi, If you can edit your php.ini (or your host is willing) that's the place to do it. A few other options are here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9399315/how-to-increase-maximum-post-variable-in-php Hope this helps.

hasebear Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 Hello Pascal and NICIADOG Thank you for kind reply, Pascal And thank you NICIADOG But I have another little problem.. Do you know how to change the font size on CMS page content? I can underline, or change the letter's colour, but I can't change the font size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PascalVG Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Html used to use <font size="6"> but it's officially deprecated, as they want to separate contents and layout. So better now is to use CSS attributes: Officially you should separate all CSS attrs in a separate .css file (like global.css in prestashop) and then add things like this to your HTML text: <div id="ID-name"> and then add css definition for this ID-name in the CSS file. You can add something directly in the HTML however, like this or so: <div style="font-size:20px">big text</div> Or <span style="font-size:14px">medium size</span> For more like this, see a great website about php/SQL/HTML/CSS etc, with definitions, try out pages, study guide.: www.w3schools.com Hope this helps.

I have a very little knowledge and skills about web systems, so everything is new to me.It's difficult but having fun. Because of this forum, my site is nearly 70% done! But I'm still in "trial and error", so I have a lot of questions every time If I had another problem that I can't solve by myself, I'll post again! Maybe after 30min. lol ..I can't find "Use Full Editor"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
