...

You have to add your own selectors in your theme's CSS file. This file is usually found in /themes/YOUR_THEME/css/global.css.

Once created, you can use your selectors in the .tpl page you want to modify.

...

Here is an example:

First, your_page.php:

<?php
include(dirname(FILE).’/config/config.inc.php’);
include(dirname(FILE).’/header.php’);

$smarty->display(PS_THEME_DIR.‘your_page.tpl’);

include(dirname(FILE).’/footer.php’);
?>

...

This is done in your PrestaShop install's /config/config.inc.php file. You should edit it in order to add the following lines:

...

You will have to follow the following procedure:

1. Open the /config/settings.inc.php file, from your shop's root directory. Find the line containing "COOKIE_KEY". Copy the cookie content (without the quotes): it is the MD5 for your original password.
2. You now need to generate a new MD5 hash for your password:
   1. Go to http://www.md5.fr
   2. Paste the cookie content in the text-field, and right after it, add your desired password. For instance, xykxB41JrEacRIoZxDioPNRmKeuO3ixCLygNxBAkeOkAHf2YUVESuT9jMYPASSWORD, where the cookie ends with T9j, and the desired password is MYPASSWORD (it can be anything you want).
   3. Click on "Convertir en MD5": this will produce a MD5 hash of the text-field's content. Copy it.
3. You now need to put this hash into your database:
   1. Open you shop's database using phpMyAdmin. If you don't know how to use phpMyAdmin, ask your webmaster, or your host.
   2. Open the "pw_employee" table, find the row corresponding to your account (it should feature your firstname, lastname, and e-mail address), click its "Edit" button.
   3. Find the "passwd" field, and paste in the MD5 that you just generated.
4. Log in in your back-office with the email listed in the same table, and the desired password that you used above (MYPASSWORD). This will generate a new cookie key.

If it still doesn't work, open the /config/settings.inc.php file and check the value of the "PS_BASE_URI" variable. It should contain the shop's file path:

...

If you want to set the maximum to 200 Mbytesmegabytes, change their values to

post_max_size = 200M
upload_max_filesize = 200M

ThenFinally, restart the server to take your changes into account.

How to add a link or an image to customize the mails sent to your customers?

Prestashop enables you to automatically send a large number of mails to your customers (order confirmations, site subscriptions, out of stock notifications, etc.). It might be useful to customize these mails: adding images, links to survey forms or information pages (blogs, news, etc.).

Let's say your company wants to customize the e-mail sent automatically to customers after a purchase, in order to redirect them to a survey form.

To add a link in the mails sent to your English-speaking customers, you have to:

1. Go to the /mails/en directory from your shop root.
2. Edit the HTML template relative to the mail you want to modify: for instance, order_conf.html is the e-mail sent for new orders.
3. Insert the link to the survey right in the HTML code (static):

   Code Block
   html html
   <a href="http://www.myshop.com/survey.php">Click here if you want to participate to our survey !</a>

   or a dynamic link with your logo:

   Code Block
   html html
   <a href="{shop_url}" title="{shop_name}"><img alt="{shop_name}" src="{shop_logo}" style="border:none;"></a>

4. (Optional) To change the default color (which is pink: #DB3484), change the hexadecimal value to your preferred color value.
5. Save the file.

Now the link will be added in every new mail sent after a purchase.
