I am new to Magento.
I am creating Magenta 2 site, I have managed to install Magento, and for it to use the luma theme.
I want to be able to edit the theme (through Inheritance), I understand it uses XML files to design the layout, how do I change these, should they be in the new theme folder, and change them there?
If so, where do I get the origonal Luma xml files, or does magento create these? - There are no themes within the app/ folder, is it here where I create the new theme (that inherits from Luma)?
Many thanks for any help, I am completely new to Magento.
You have to create a custom theme and make theme.xml and set a parent to LUMA.
Now app/design/frontend/customthemename
So anything that you want to customized used in customthemename folder
Thanks
You should create a child theme to edit XML file. To create a child theme, there are 3 steps to do:
Firstly, create a new theme directory in app/design/frontend.
Secondly, declare the new theme by:
Creating theme.xml: this file identifies the name, parent and other
basic info of the new theme.
Creating Composer.json: this file is used to install the theme via Composer later.
Creating registration.php: this file is required in any Magento 2 Extension
and Themes.
Creating static files directories: this folder is used to store CSS, JS, image files.
Creating logo folder: this folder contains files that determine the location and size of your new theme logo.
Thirdly, apply and configure theme in admin: - Run Upgrade Command. - Apply the theme. - Deploy.
For more detailed tutorial, go to Guide to create Magento 2 theme.
The original XML files of any module and themes are located in vendor/magento//view/frontend/layout, with the module_name is the module related to the XML file you want to edit.
For example, with homepage CMS, the XML file is located in vendor/magento/module-cms/view/frontend/layout
I have downloaded a theme from odoo backend theme market named artarad_theme_v9. I tried to install the theme and failed to install.
Now when I googled, I got the response to update apps module after changing to developer mode. I did that too.
Where should I keep the downloaded folder? Will the theme also be shown in the app list itself?
You need to keep your theme folder inside the addons folder. Then you update the App list, search for your theme in the apps list, install it.
I want to install new theme in magento and I have also followed step of this link (https://www.siteground.com/tutorials/magento/magento_themes.htm) but I am not abling to get theme in magento. Please suggest me how can I install theme in magento ?
Thanks
If you already have the pre-built theme, then in magento project folder navigate to
app/design/frontend/default
Place your theme folder here.
Now to activate your theme. Log in to your admin panel.
Navigate to
system->configuration
Click in the design tab in the left hand side
Under the "Pakage Name" put you package name i.e "default" in this case and under you theme In the "Template" put your theme name "Your_theme_name" i.e your theme folder name that you copied inside default directory.
If you are creating a new theme, just create a new folder inside default directory and follow the step as described above.
In this way you can install a new theme.
Hope this will help.
It depends how theme you want to use is distributed. If it is a package, just extract it to your root folder and you should get proper folders in skin and app/design dirs and what you need to do then is to set correct package and / or theme in backend (Configuration > Web > Design). For full package theme name would probably always be default. Although if you are only adding new theme, you should pick its name app/design/frontend/default/{theme_name} and same in skin folder (if it includes some additional css, images and / or javascript).
I'm trying to change the name of a theme which I have downloaded recently.
These are the procedures I did.
I have created an Interface folder named x And a theme folder named y. Under app/design/frontend/ and skin/frontend/ And I moved all contents of the downloaded theme into the theme folder I have created.
Next I have changed the Current Package Name name to x under package.
And the Default to y under themes of Configurations->Design
After saving the configurations when I refreshed the store I'm getting only blank page.
Please anyone help me to resolve this issue and setup the theme.
Hope you are doing well.
1) As of you are required to change you magento's current store to new theme. For changing the theme in magento we are having three folder in magento which are as under
1)app
2)js
3)skin
So your old theme which is there right now will have this 3 folders in it. Now for change of store to new theme all you are required to do is you have to replace this 3 folders by the theme which you want to replace.
Suppose X is theme is there right now and you want to replace it by y. Then you are required to replace app,js and sking of x theme with y.
And then you are required to make some changes in the admin pannel under
->system->configuration->design->theme
Give appropriate name of the theme which you using right now and then save it. Refresh the front end you theme will be changed.
2) Another way to change the theme or you can install the magento theme is you can use the magento connect from
->Magento Connect -> Magento Connect Manager -> Get the key of the theme which you want to install ->click on install.
Hope this solutions will be use full to you.
Just installed a fresh copy of Magento and I would like to know what settings/configurations have to be made in order to begin theme development. I'm running php 5.4 on a mac and for coding the theme I will use SCSS.
You have to create a new theme folder and theme package folder (optional) as followig
app/design/frontend/{theme package name}/{theme folder name}/
then create two folders layout and template and work in them.
Then create the skin related folders in skin/frontend/{theme package name}/{theme folder name}/ and place all your theme related css and images here.
Note that you have to keep the theme package name same for both.
To activate this theme on the site, log-in to your admin panel, go to
system >> configurations >> Design and click the Package Tab and enter your theme package name then open the Theme tab beneath it and enter the Template, Skin and layout theme folder names, if the theme folder name is same for all of them then just enter it in the Default field and leave others empty and save the settings. Now clear the site Cache by going to system >> Cache Management, select all the options and click Submit button and reload the frontend. The new theme will be in action.
