Hi guys!
I'm trying to copy default theme in OC 3.0.2.0 for making my own using a custom tutorial (link not available anymore!).
Unfortunately, in the end, I cant enable new theme in Extensinos->Extensions->Themes.
It's selected to "Enable" inside them editing, but in the list - "Disabled".
Please, told me - how to clone/create themes in OC3.
Thanks.
PS. Sorry, if thread is wrong. First post xD

Hi all,
I'm trying to create a new theme as well following this tutorial here:
https://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/cre ... -cms-21865
The tutorial was written for OC 1.5.x but I did get this working OK on OC 2.2.0.0
I'm trying get this working on OC 3.0.1.2 and I cannot see "mycustomtheme" in the OC admin interface anywhere.
Code: Select all
laptop theme # tree -L 3 mycustomtheme/
mycustomtheme/
├── image
├── stylesheet
└── template
└── common
├── home.twig
├── home.twig.orig
└── tmp-backups
How do I locate mycustomtheme and tell OC 3.0.1.2 to use that instead of the default theme please?
TIA
Keith
UPDATE:
To change themes on Opencart 3.0.1.2 you can do the follow:
Login to opencart as admin user.
Go to Extensions -> Extensions
Extension List
Choose the extension type
Click on the drop selection list next to 'Filter' and choose:
Themes(1)
Under Theme Name
- Your Store (Status Enabled) click the blue 'edit' button
Under General:
Theme Directory: select the 'mycustomtheme' from the drop down list.
Status: Enabled
Click on the blue 'save' button at the top RHS of the page.
This should output the message:
"Success: You have modified the default store theme!"
-------------------------------------------------------
When you have done that, if you reload the page on the front end it should now be working with the new theme.

Experimenting a littl efurther, my custom theme isn't available in the new theme editor. Any ideas on that?

In porting my own theme to OC 3.0.2.0 from OC 2.3.0.2, I found that the settings needed to be prefixed with 'theme_' (so change to 'theme_default_status' to 'theme_mycustomtheme_status' instead of just 'mycustomtheme_status' (as worked with 2.3.0.2 and earlier). There is code in various parts of OpenCart 3.0.x that now looks for those 'theme_' prefixed settings when making decisions about showing the status (enabled/disabled) and probably showing it in the theme editor.

I followed the above steps and created a theme and it is working properly, but when I go to Design > Theme Editor section it shows me the default template codes. Can someone guide me where I am doing wrong, though I am new to Opencart.
