Its title says it all: the "Theme & Logo" page enables you to efficiently manage your themes, and this where you go if you want to update your logo. Since version 1.7.4, two new tabs strengthen this part of the back office: "Homepage Configuration" and "Advanced Customization".

Logos

Changing the logo for you your shop is often one of the first steps when customizing your shop. You can change your shop's main logo, but not only, thanks to these three different tabs:

  • Header logo. The logo that will appear on all the pages of your shop.
  • Invoice & email logos. The logos that will respectively appear in your shop's email notifications, and its invoices.
  • IconsFavicons. Your shop's favicon. This is the small image displayed at the left of the web browser's address bar and on the browser's tabs.

Exporting a theme is very useful when you want either to back the theme up for safety, and for safety and create an archive of the theme for a friend or in order to make it available on the Addons marketplace (http://addons.prestashop.com/). Not only does it generate a complete Zip archive of your theme, but it also adds the custom modules that your theme requires, which is very useful both when uploading to Addons, and when importing to another PrestaShop site.

Homepage Configuration

 

Here is one of the feature we're really proud of: the homepage's cartography! As each part of the back office belongs to a dedicated module, every little modification brings back to the "Modules" page to find the right module and finally access its configuration page... not that intuitive, right? Now the cartography allows a double view for a quicker theme customization, and happier merchants!

On the left side, an illustration of the homepage enables you to find the part you want to modify. It creates a simplified version of the PrestaShop front office with this interactive wireframe. On the right side, a mirrored view shows the module selection you need to configure for the modification.

Our homepage is divided into 7 different categories: menu, slider, home products, text block, banner, social & newsletter, and footer. Each category is a tab collapsible to display related features from both core pages and native modules. Features can be either installed, configured or disabled. Be aware that clicking on the "Configure" button makes the merchant redirected to the feature configuration page.


Advanced Customization

 

This part is dedicated to technical merchants and developers who want to customize their theme using the Parent/Child theme feature, which has been introduced in 1.7.

By clicking on "Download theme", the merchant will be able to get a zip of the current theme.
