Prestashop 1.7 - child theme

[nache14_]

Hello

 

I have tried to create a child theme for a theme I have following this tutorial:

 

http://developers.prestashop.com/themes/smarty/parent-child-feature.html

 

I have tried it including creating a child theme for the "classic" theme that comes with prestashop but I get the same error

 

This is the child theme's config/theme.yml content :

 

parent: PRSADD046

name: Myon Baits

display_name: PRSADD046 child theme

version: 1.0.0

assets:

use_parent_assets: true

 

I have attached an image with the error I get.

 

What am I doing wrong?

 

Thank you!

That's not right. The value of parent should be classic if you want to extend the classic theme. Also, the value of "name" should match your theme's folder name. It's probably better not to have capital letters and spaces in it, i.e. myonbaits

Hello,

 

The value of parent was good, that was the name of the theme I was trying to extend, the value of name was wrong, I didn't understand from the documentation that name should be the value of the child theme's folder.

 

Thank you!

I have attached a sample of testchild theme which make for classic parent theme. I have just override the product page product price for classic parent theme, just test purpose only . 

 

Please download the testchild theme and follow this child theme and making of yours. and you can override any others tpl any block from your child theme.
