Thank you Vekia, i tried your guide for my custom 1.7 theme but it is displaying it all over another without tabs, can you please explain how to implement it in custom theme without custom modules?

Is there any documentation or explanation on how this works exactly? How can none Presta designers start creating new themes? Also is there going to have "theme configurator" like module? That will be able to switch colors for example, or add banners and such things?

In this code: {if $infos|@count > 0} <!-- MODULE Block cmsinfo --> <div id="cmsinfo_block"> {foreach from=$infos item=info} <div class="col-xs-6" >{$info.text}</div> {/foreach} </div> I want to change col-xs-6 to col-xs-12 for the first child of the div, hot to do that?

Does it possible to clear default block module exceptions when new module or theme is installed via config.xml. I know that is possible to add exceptions in the XML with <hook module="blockcategories" hook="displayLeftColumn" position="1" exceptions="pagenotfound"/> and just add the exception in the exceptions="", however what if i want to clear the default ones like in PS 1.6?

I guess you are not the only one needed to read 270 000 topics, also this is addons forum, i guess it is for addons related problems, so there should be addons staff who watch it. It is on the forums because i beleive this is the right place and this conerns not only me. Ok i will accept that, however you sould mention it somewhere and describe the process to developers, because i'm sure 95% of them are unware of this feature. Yes you are violate the law, because you as an market "digital retailer" don't have the right to hide "manufacturer" information. Imagine that you are going to a store to buy a laptop, on the one laptop it sais "made by sony" and have "sony" logo, and the other model has nothing on it, or it has "made by community" which one you will buy? The EU law strictly forbids such behavior. Also read that from EU law - "applying dissimilar conditions to equivalent transactions with other trading parties, thereby placing them at a competitive disadvantage". Hiding the name of the developer "manufacturer" is not a feature is bad practice. You should consult your lawyers abou that really, but i'm 100% sure because i work in retail, and have been fined for missing manufacturer info. Also every other digital market shows who develop the software, see for example windows store, android store, apple store, envato markets and so on. I have not see anyone then PrestaShop to do that, so think for a moment. I disagree greatly on that, because it doesnt come to men power at all. See the following scenario. PrestaShop released new version. TM update/release product for this version and it goes without approval on day 1 on the market. Small developer also update/release product on the same day as TM, however when he submit new file he have to wait you for approval up to 10 days. So in the time between second developer been approved, in this 9 days TM get exclusivity and put other developer in unequal and not competitive mode - which is again violation of the law. Your rules should be equal to all, no matter how big or small they are. About that, i don't mind certified products, however you must clearly explain what is the advantage for the customer for that. Because i can show you many modules that are not certified and are alot better in every aspect then certified similiar products. So customer should know exactly what is the advantage in this product, because at this point is uncertan what is the difference and it just look like advertise for the developers who pay you the yearly certification fee. Yes at some point i get aggresive and i apologize for that, but this concerns are mentioned hunderds times in the last 2 years humbaly, and PrestaShop don't response to them or don't recognize them at all as problems. I can tell you about 10 urgent problems on the addons that are mentioned and your team is aware of them and for years they don't do anything. I care for PrestaShop and this is why i spend so much explaining what the problems are, so that PrestaShop can improve, and i think it is for the best of all. However you have to be responsive and to recognize the signs when you made a mistake intentionaly or not and to make mesures to correct it, exactly this spirit is missing from PrestaShop - the will to correct mistakes and to listen the community. Regards

Well that was fast response, almost a year!!... Also why do you miss all the questions? How can a developer put his banner? How can a developer set a promotion, you are the first person to say that developers can make promotions, nobady else told developers so, where is your guide lines about how developers can make promotions, how can they put their banner? Where?!? Also answear those missed questions below: 3. PrestaShop certification. Make a clear statement visible on the market, what exactly this means, because as far as i know every product on the market is approved by PrestaShop team, so then you should clearly explain what is the advantage for products with label "certificated by PrestaShop" or "developed by PrestaShop" otherwise you are misleading customers that there is some advantage but no one knows exactly if there is any or you just promote yourself or your partners. 4. Developers information. You hide intentionally the information of who is the developers of the products by saying only "by community" while on other "special" developers the name is visible. This is big violation! This thing only can bring you very hard charges. Its like going to the local store and buy some cheese and the information for who is the manufacturer to be hidden on the package by the store! 5. Some developers like "template monster" have their products online without approval by PrestaShop team. I saw that very clearly because their products appear 2 days after major PrestaShop release and Products developed by other starting to appear a lot lately. This put all other developers in disadvantage, because this developers have 7-10 days with almost no competition on every new release. Why developers like template monsters have prevelegies to have their name and special page and no review for their themes but all others developers names are hidden and have to wait countless days for approval, is this seem fair to you? Because to me its seems that you showcase someone you like and the rest is just in unequal position. Why did you not answear those questions? i will tell you why, because you can't, because you know i'm right! PrestaShop team has shown that when meet constructive critics with arguments that you can't deny, you guys just get silent and don't bother to answer. I'm really disapointed by PrestaShop support, addons and communication with PrestaShop. Your CMS is great but everything else is terrible.

i will be glad to see some more offers

I have a theme which i have bought on addons and i need to be converted to responsive theme. The theme is 1.5.4.1 compatible. Requirements: - Preferably bootstrap implemented method. - Minimal TPL files editing. - Well documented changes of all code needed and also make all code changes as separate css and such, so i can read your instructions and implement all changes myself when theme/prestashop updates and needed to be converted to responsive again. Private message me with your offer, suggestions and time frame and i can give you a link to a demo page of the theme. If you are good and you have reasonable price, i can hire you later for some more work.

First i want to say that i'm lawyer by education. While browsing addons market, i noticed something that most probably is illegal. I hope that it is not intended mistake, that's why i make a topic about it to warn you. I have noticed that all the "banners" like "luxury theme and bio theme", "sales" and "promotions" with reduced prices, and other options like "Update option" are only available for products developed by PrestaShop. This is wrong due to the "European Union competition law"! While addons market is a virtual marketplace owned by PrestaShop you should provide equal ground for all who participate. As PrestaShop develop products which sells on this market, this make PrestaShop in direct competition with the other developers. This means that in current situation where PrestaShop have "special" treatment for their products only is abuse with that the market is owned by them and dominant position. Here is some quote from article 102 from the EU Law. "Any abuse by one or more undertakings of a dominant position within the common market or in a substantial part of it shall be prohibited as incompatible with the common market insofar as it may affect trade between Member States" This can mean, (a) directly or indirectly imposing unfair purchase or selling prices or other unfair trading conditions; ( limiting production, markets or technical development to the prejudice of consumers; © applying dissimilar conditions to equivalent transactions with other trading parties, thereby placing them at a competitive disadvantage; (d) making the conclusion of contracts subject to acceptance by the other parties of supplementary obligations which, by their nature or according to commercial usage, have no connection with the subject of such contracts." In general, you should provide equal grounds for all, not only for your products. What you should and can do. 1. Make option for everyone to have sales, promotions, update options like on your products or remove them for all. 2. Remove your products banners, or make option so everyone can have according to some rules equal to all. 3. PrestaShop certification. Make a clear statement visible on the market, what exactly this means, because as far as i know every product on the market is approved by PrestaShop team, so then you should clearly explain what is the advantage for products with label "certificated by PrestaShop" or "developed by PrestaShop" otherwise you are misleading customers that there is some advantage but no one knows exactly if there is any or you just promote yourself or your partners. 4. Developers information. You hide intentionally the information of who is the developers of the products by saying only "by community" while on other "special" developers the name is visible. This is big violation! This thing only can bring you very hard charges. Its like going to the local store and buy some cheese and the information for who is the manufacturer to be hidden on the package by the store! 5. Some developers like "template monster" have their products online without approval by PrestaShop team. I saw that very clearly because their products appear 2 days after major PrestaShop release and Products developed by other starting to appear a lot lately. This put all other developers in disadvantage, because this developers have 7-10 days with almost no competition on every new release. What you can do alternatively and legal. You can make your "featured" products chosen by you and make statement "chosen by the staff" or something like that, this way you can promote products that you personally like. However keep in mind that should not be only your products. I'm surprised that no one pressed charges against this violations yet because they will win in court for sure, and i'm telling you all this to change your market and consult your lawyers when you make your market. Look at big markets like Google's play store, Apple store and Microsoft store and you should understand what i'm talking about. Your market is young and PrestaShop is young, and all my best wishes is not to learn how to do things the Hard way.

No i don't develop, I'm not a developer but lets say an advanced user, and i can do some things. I can't speak for magento because i have only tried them and then i prefer PrestaShop. I have upgraded to 1.5 because i need the top horizontal menu and the decent slider, with small css modifications my store looks good. I have upgraded from 1.5.2 to 1.5.3 because of the many bugs one of which is Internet Explorer and cart/login problems. Here is the pain, i cannot change 3rd party non native modules which i bought for a simple reason - because it is encoded. This is a payment module for a local bank, however i have a box from this module in the front office, which now is ended up with broken layout. So i have to rollback from my backup so i don't end up with broken box and module, but i have to stick with Internet Explorer bug, and i have to wait the bank to update their module, and why? because some genius from PrestaShop decided to put this "improvment" in a minor release... And this things happens almost every release, there is always some nasty bug that you are forced to update for, but with the update comes other bugs... And you are telling me that this is how it should be? That this often updates are good? And this ridiculous bugs which can be tested with alfa/betas before goes live is normal?!? I'm running online stores back from 2005, i have used oScommerce, creLoaded and i saw their decline and death just because of bad developers decisions. And if PrestaShop loose their trustworthy users, and users can't really on this software because of ridicules release cycles and very unstable releases, well users will find other software... And it is pointless to tell me that things are changing because when 1.5 was in rc2 there was mountain of bugs back in august, that there was a topics where the community requested at least one more rc3 so they can see most of the bugs covered and fixed before the final release, and what happened? PrestaShop closes their eyes and released the disaster half finished just to be "on time" with the e-commerce expo... and you are telling me that "things are changing" ...

Well i agree that WordPress is not e-commerce CMS, yes its not, but it has e-commerce platform into it so you can build online stores with with, same for Joomla. About security, WordPress is mainly hacked not because it has slow release cycles but mainly because there is thousands of free plugins which brake its security, and the WordPress is used with more then 100 million users. With a bit of knowledge on how to secure your website, avoid sharing hosting and htacess on admin part, if not some sql injections, hacks are hard thing to do, and i believe that there are finger counted security issues and updates for PrestaShop. Most of the updates has almost nothing to do with security. Now lets think what is PrestaShop? PrestaShop is a platform for e-commerce. Beside the newsletters from PrestaShop who advise us on how to increase sales and such, where did you put the upgrade and update process? If i have to down my online store every month for 6+ hours to update, and test the new monthly version only to see that with almost every update my template and my modules are broken and i have to wait for developers of my theme and module to update (if they update and if its free of charge), by the time they do manage to update it, PrestaShop again releases a new version and the process starts again, and i see my self in some endless update/upgrade process which cause down time, money, and time... and for what? for a 13 releases less then half prove to be stable enough for a real online store to be run on them. Now explain me how this is good for my online store, for my image of the store and my business? Is this the PrestaShop vision on how its users should use it? to constant update every month and in many cases loosing they payed modules and templates because of so rapid and major changes? Why is so hard to make an road-map and plan for 1-2 releases yearly with only small bug fixes releases in between with only really serious bugs? Changing H4 to Class is not really a bug and this "improvement" has no place in minor update... Giving an example with Magento is not a good point because they do very very few changes in this minor releases to they core modules and structures, they mainly fix bugs with them and the new features and structures come with major releases.. I also noted a poll here in PrestaShop forums in which PrestaShop actually asked the users on how often they prefer updates.. You can see clearly thaat 90% of the users voted to have 1-2 releases yearly.. once again i'm not alone in this boat and it seems that PrestaShop did not notice and did not care much for the users opinion. Also i have noted that you tell there like it seems a different story from the opinion you have here..

PrestaShop developers, i don't know what are you thinking but when you will realize what exactly are you doing? You release version almost every month, this is not only developers nightmare but user's too... As soon as there is new version i start work on my shop, starting to update my self made template and modules and when I'm just finished you release a new version, which makes all my previous work incompatible... what the hell is this??? You can't even maintain stable compatibility between small versions like 1.5.017, 1.5.2, 1.5.3 they all have major changes - WHY???? How do you expect developers to so something decent when you just keep throwing versions with gazillion bugs...why do you keep rushing versions and publish them unfinished, clearly unthinking and not understanding the consequences this may cause? WHO is your Developer boss? are he even understand something from development or he is just some marketing [spam-filter]? Let me show some examples... WordPress - World most popular CMS - 2 - 3 releases per year, all stable... Joomla - Second world most popular CMS - 2 releases per year... Drupal - 1 release per several years... Now Lets see PrestaShop... PrestaShop 1.4 Final was released on March 18, 2011. - Mess PrestaShop 1.4.1 was released on April 21, 2011. - Mess PrestaShop 1.4.2 was released on May 30, 2011. - Somehow stable PrestaShop 1.4.3 was released on June 16, 2011. - Stable PrestaShop 1.4.4 was released on July 28, 2011.- Stable PrestaShop 1.4.5 was released on October 13, 2011.- Stable PrestaShop 1.4.7 was released on February 8, 2012.- Stable PrestaShop 1.4.8.2 was released on May 15, 2012.- Stable PrestaShop 1.4.9 was released on August 30, 2012.- Stable PrestaShop 1.5 was released on September 13, 2012. - DISASTER!!! PrestaShop 1.5.1 was released on October 4, 2012. - Complete Mess.. PrestaShop 1.5.2 was released on October 23, 2012. - Almost Stable... PrestaShop 1.5.3 was released on December 28, 2012. - Disaster again... You released 13 versions over 20 months 13!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So in conclusion, PrestaShop developers you keep publish versions almost every month and even twice per month!!!!!, can you tell us please when do you plan to release a fairly stable release so we can skip the rushed gazillion bugged versions and can start working on our modules, templates and own shops so we don't need to backup, upgrade every 2-3 weeks???? Will you ever consider a backward compatibility when you make BIG changes between small releases like 1.5.2 to 1.5.3.... Let's see just one line from your 1.5.3 change log, just 1... "[-] FO: improvement on h4/h5 edits (id become class)" I want to ask the developer who did this, are he realize that this single change will brake the layout of ALL EXISTING MODULES AND TEMPLATES???? Is this change was sooooooooo important that it is exceptable to brake all modules and templates because of that????? And you even suggest on your customers on your Facebook page, that if his template is compatible with 1.5 it will work on 1.5.3, are your staff really that incompetent?!?!?! I'm GREATLY disappointed by this bad bad release cycles with unfinished untested product in which you show that you don't care much for your users, for your community and developers, you don't follow any release cycle, you don't care for backward compatibility... I'm sorry if my tone is to harsh, but i'm really pissed of this... I hope to be able to hear my voice and the voice of the thousands crying customers and developers...

Thank you Razaro, and should i hide blocks and columns with media queries too?

And how to make other menu to appear on low resolution and columns and blocks disappear?

It dynamically changes according to screen resolution, this is responsive web design. See http://elationbase.c...liquid/demo/en/ for example, change your browser screen size (no need to change resolution) and you will see how theme changes, in smallest screen it become mobile theme. See also http://demo.atchworks.com/cameleon/ Edit: And i know how to disappear block with exceptions, in responsive theme this is done dynamically without exceptions.
