How to modify a page's display?

...

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:

@ini_set('display_errors', 'on');
define('PS_DEBUG_SQL', true);

...

If you do have access to php.ini, open it and edit the following lines:

post_max_size = [anything]
upload_max_filesize = [anything]

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

post_max_size = 200M
upload_max_filesize = 200M

...

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.

...

1. Go to phpMyAdmin. If you can access it, ask your host to perform these actions.
2. Select your shop's database, and select the ps_lang table.
3. Click "Insert", and create a new entry with these values
   • id_lang -> 1
   • name -> English
   • active -> 1
   • iso_code -> fr
4. Execute the query.
   You should be able to log in again.

How to create a new translation

Follow these steps:
