hadlowj Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I was wondering does the 1.5 theme still work with 1.6? Although I like the look of 1.6 its just too big, the nav bar, the width on headers the bit at the bottom to sign up to the newsletter etc. Looks fine at 1920x1080 but not everyone has a HD screen and it looks awful on lesser resolutions because everything just fills the screen whereas 1.5 theme does not.

PrestaHeroes USA Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 if your theme does not specifically state is is 1.6 compliant, then assume it is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnel Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Hi James, The best way to find out is load a test site up, and then try it out. This latest version did NOT change the core files (in PrestaShop 1.5) in order to provide a more seamless update, so I would think that the theme should not be an issue. However, the only way you're going to be 100% sure is to load it up and then look at all aspects of your theme in the 1.6 version. It's free and very easy to install. Check it out , provide a name for your theme and let us know if there are any problems. Arnel C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadlowj Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 ok thanks I will give it a go. I am talking about the default theme that came with 1.5 not a custom one by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestaHeroes USA Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 the first issue you will find, as I have tested several high end themes with 1.6 is that 1.6 loads 'all' java at the bottom... this will break many things in your 1.5 theme... edited: and 1.5 default theme certainly will not work.

Detelin Markov Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 hadlowj, Now i upgrade one of my test shops that use default 1.5 theme (with heavy modifications) and for now i have only one issues with not showing left column (on 1.6.0.4 working fine but 1.6.0.5 i have problem with this... ) May be you can have problem with some modules. Regards, Detelin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestaHeroes USA Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 follow up, 1.6.0.7 now loads java top, with option to load java bottom. this should allow 1.5 themes to work in 1.6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlbertoD Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 should it ? Anyone tested it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestaHeroes USA Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 should it ? Anyone tested it? http://doc.prestashop.com/display/PS16/Updating+PrestaShop 'any' upgrade requires build of prod shop in a test environment. I have loaded and run a 1.5 template on 1.6.0.8 java loaded bottom from back office-->advan parms->load java bottom then I installed module JavaPro so I could move render blocking javascripts without any issues. build their test shop to try upgrade, of course you can then see if template (all are different) works properly. Note: at the time of this writing 1.6.0.9 was released for testing, you should wait for this or 1.6.1 version for production release. This of course does not mean you can not test upgrade and template now as doing it correctly takes a bit of time and effort. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
