Coding a theme
PrestaShop's theme system is based on a template engine, called Smarty, which allows web-designers and developers to easily build their own theme, with little technical knowledge.
...
All of your theme's text string should be enclosed in a Smarty function, like so:
Code Block |
---|
{l s='My Text'}
|
This will enable anyone to translate the theme into his own language, using the internal translation tool, which you can find in the PrestaShop back-office, under the "Tools" tab and its "Translation" sub-tab. In the "Modify translations" section, use the drop-down menu, choose "Front Office translation", then click on the flag of the language you wish to translate strings into. All the front-office strings will then be displayed.
...
Layered navigation: In order for a theme to be compatible with layered navigation, the /themes/themename/product-list.tpl
file must have its product list area be encapsulated within a tag with the "product_list" id
; otherwise, the layered navigation will not be able to update the product list.

<div id="product_list">

<ul id="product_list">
