Prestashop theme Universal

Installation

Theme installation

1. Go to your shop's back-office and go to the section Design › Theme & Logo then click on Add a new theme at the top of the page.

2. Option 1 - Import from your computer: select the ZIP file of the theme and click on Save.

   Option 2 - Import from FTP: select the ZIP file of the theme that you must first place in the folder themes of your shop from your FTP client and click on Save.

3. Once the operation is completed, activate the theme by clicking on the option Use this theme.

   In case of error or blank page: refresh the page until activation of the theme is effective. This is a cache issue that does not affect the installation of the theme or its proper functioning.

4. Go to the section Advanced Parameters › Performance and click on Clear cache at the top of the page.

Theme update

Before you start, make a full backup of your shop (files and database). From a 1.x version of the theme, updating is not possible: a new installation is required.

1. Download the ZIP file of the new version of the theme from your customer account, without unzipping it.

2. Go to the configuration of the Prestacrea Theme Editor module, General tab, and click on the Theme update button, at the top right of the Child themes block.

3. Select the ZIP file and click on Analyze. The module checks that the file matches your version of Prestashop and that it is more recent than the installed version. It then lists the theme files you have modified, which will be replaced.

4. Click on Update. A backup of the current version is created automatically before the installation. Do not close the page during the operation.

5. Go to the Advanced Parameters › Performance section and click on Clear cache at the top of the page.

As long as you have not started a new update, the Restore the previous version button in the same window lets you restore the theme files and the module settings to their previous state. Changes made since then will be lost.

Major Prestashop upgrade (example: from PS 8 to PS 9): the Prestashop upgrade module disables the Prestacrea Theme Editor module. Once the upgrade is finished, enable it again in Modules › Module Manager, then install the version of the theme matching your new Prestashop version with the Theme update button.

Use of Prestacrea Theme Editor module

Go to your back-office and go to the configuration of the module Prestacrea Theme Editor.

General configuration

This section allows to configure general settings of the theme.

Slider configuration

This section allows to add, edit, disable or delete slides and to configure slider settings.

To add a new slide, click on the insert Add a slide at the top of the page to open the add form. To edit an existing slide, click on the edit icon next to the concerned slide to open this slide in the edit form.

Drag the slides in the list to change their order.

Demo slides cannot be deleted, but they can be disabled.

Blocks configuration

This section allows to add, edit, disable or delete blocks. Blocks allow to display custom content (images, texts...) in many places of the shop.

To add a new block, click on the insert Add a block at the top of the page to open the add form. To edit an existing block, click on the edit icon next to the concerned block to open this block in the edit form.

Drag the blocks in the list to change their order.

Demo blocks cannot be deleted, but they can be disabled.

Footer configuration

This section allows to add, edit or delete footer links and to configure the footer image and text.

To add a new link, click on the insert Add a link at the top of the page to open the add form. To edit an existing link, click on the edit icon next to the concerned link to open this link in the edit form.

Drag the links in the list to change their order.

Demo links cannot be deleted.

Style configuration

This section allows to configure the graphical settings of the theme.

Colors are entered in hexadecimal format, preceded by the # symbol (example: #1a1a1a), or chosen with the color picker. For containers (header, homepage columns, page), the Transparent button of the picker allows to apply a transparency instead of a color.

When you use the color picker, click on Apply to confirm the chosen color.

CSS editor

This section allows to add custom CSS code in the file _custom.scss of the theme.

You can freely use CSS syntax or SASS syntax. You don't need to add vendor prefixes for compatibility with different browsers as the module compilation includes an autoprefixer. You can also directly edit the _custom.scss file in the folder assets › css › scss of the theme with the editor of your choice.

The button Regenerate CSS files allows to manually compile the SCSS files and generate the CSS files for the activated preconfigured model. You must regenerate CSS files every time you make a modification in the SCSS files (including from the CSS editor) otherwise your modifications will not be visible on your shop.

Your changes made through the CSS editor or directly in the _custom.scss file are kept during theme updates. To modify the theme templates, create a child theme.

In multistore, the code entered in the CSS editor for a shop other than the main shop is saved in a file specific to this shop (for example _custom_2.scss for shop no. 2).
