How to adopt the existing template set or how to implement a new one

Deni9 asked (in German) how to adopt an existing template set or how to implement a new one.

By default, there is one template set implemented and activated in the shop. You can switch to another template set by uploading it to the /out/ directory and adopt this entry in the config.inc.php in root directory of your shop:

$this->sTheme = ‘basic’;

In /out/basic/ you can adopt the language files for your template as well as the html/smarty-programming under /tpl/.

At the moment, we still work on a documentation for the version 4 templates. In the mean time you might want to have a look at the docu for version 3 which is pretty similar:http://www.oxid-esales.com/files/documentation/pe/template-documentation…
On the other hand, the precise naming of the tpl-files might be helpful.

Hi there,

I’m having a little trouble getting my alt template taken up in a category.

The manual the path is eg. " page/list/mylist.tpl" … but my template is in out/theme/tpl/mylist.tpl

Am I missing something? is the manual out of date?

OK. No path needed. Works now :slight_smile:
