Pshopic Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 HiI advice you to learn something about HTML and CSS coding. Then it will be easy to make changes in your theme. This site can be helpful: http://www.w3schools.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pshopic Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 What kind of changes are you making as result getting no effect? Check whether editing correct file or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infos Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 I changed the file xampp/htdocs/prestashop/themes/my_theme/header.tpl but it seems to be the wrong file. I can delete that file and the shop still works. Which file do I have to change to put an additional image to the header ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pshopic Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 It can not work normally without header.tpl. You are editing correct file but not correct folder's file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidmaxx Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Or do what i do figure out what the actual image file is the tpl really is not a file that will result in changes, in the IMG folder is where you can make the changes or edit, as it is there is always a base or a start, but it takes time and error in most cases to get the right look, always save the file with the same name, and usually best to move the files over through FTP and then edit the file transfer back then check your stor on the changes best to look for anything that is png, jpg, gif.of course you have to transfer back tot eh IMG folder for the changes to take effect.

I copied the standard theme, activated the copy and changed some things in header.tpl but nothing changed. How can I add for example an additional image to the header area ?ciao HiI have over 13 years of software development in Microsoft based software development technologies. But I am a newbie to PHP and especially to Prestashop framework. I am learning the framework and in the process, started to write a series of posts(Creating a Prestashop 1.4 theme from scratch) to outline the creation of a new Prestashop theme using Visual Studio and other tools. The posts primarily are targeted towards a PHP/Prestashop newbie.Please visit Creating a Prestashop 1.4 theme from scratch and share my experiences through my learning phase. I hope active participation from other novice Prestashop programmers like me and advices from Prestashop experts to make the posts helpful for others who require it.
