So I purchased a prestashop theme from TemplateMonster and the zip file is 324MB and when I try to upload the file in admin, I get an error that the file is too large. I know I can change php settings and maybe get it to work, but I figured I would just ftp it to my server, but filezilla drops the connection when I try to upload it. First, before I change php settings, will it work with such a large file? Also, when I look inside the zip file, I see a .sql file, a psd.zip, readme_en.zip, and 2 other zip files. Do all these files need to be uploaded? Just asking because I'm not sure why the PSD.zip file would need to be included.

Probably the main theme package contains additional assets, but in order to have your theme installed in Prestashop you just need the "main" ZIP theme
(the one that once unzipped contain folders like /assets /templates /modules etc.)
Then you can choose to upload it from your backoffice (you need to set the PHP max_upload_filesize accordingly) or copy the zip directly in your /themes directory and choose the "Import with FTP" option for the "Themes & Logo > Theme > Add new theme" backoffice page.
If you're having trouble with that method too, you can use the "Import from the web"
method by uploading your ZIP in a reachable public URL

Instead of putting all files in a place in the asset folder, I want to use CSS files in CSS folder, JS files in js folder and images in images folder. Then Include them in the asset folder, so that I can maintain the files easily.
I know Shopify doesn't support any sub-directories within the asset folder. But is there any trick to do that?
According to a Shopify employee. This is currently not possible and the reason is due to a limitation of the CDN they use. See that post here.
Regardless, it's not good practice to have source files in the assets folder. Look into the Shopify Slate tool. It's a theme scaffold and command line interface that helps keep your project structure organized.
You can organize your assets (both CSS and JavaScript) as source files with directory structures in a manner similar to this:
styles/
global/
modules/
settings
tools/
vendor/
The command line tool takes care of compiling all the source files into one CSS/JS file! As a consequence, you don't need to worry about including the respective files with <link> or <script> tags because it's all taken care of already!
Unfortunately, this is not something currently supported by Shopify (As of 14/Sept/2017)
I tried making sub-folders both at the root of my dev theme and in the asset folder of my dev theme in a few different ways, including through Shopify's ThemeKit editor, but Shopify did not let me create the folder.
Attempting to create sub-folders in the normal theme editor in the store (by naming an asset subfolder/filename) generates the error message: Theme files may not be stored in subfolders
Shopify's normal theme editor groups files by types so that they appear close together, and apparently that's as much as Shopify is giving us right now.
I need to allow uploading a file (pdf or jpg) for customers on the order page (shopping-cart.tpl).
How can I make this file upload widget and attach it to the order so it appears in back office.
My Prestashop version is 1.6.0.14
The only solution I found was this module (not free) http://addons.prestashop.com/es/21373-file-uploads.html
In another webpage I found the free solution (or atleasts I hope it helps to you):
https://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/456742-free-module-file-upload-let-customers-upload-other-files-besides-images/
It works in a Prestashop 1.6.x.x with a free, personalized and overloaded theme.
If anyone can find more modules, will be welcome!
You can upload a jpg file by default (activating the option in product page in backoffice), but not a PDF. This is the reason you must use a module, to modify prestashop default "only upload images".
With the module I post in last modification, you can do this, including select the extensions you allow to upload.
Instructions:
1. go to the link above.
2. download the module .rar file
3. go to prestashop admin menu>modules>add new module>upload the .rar you just downloaded
4. go to module search input in modules section, search fileupload, and click in install button.
5. Select the extensions you need allow to the users to upload.
6. Check if the "upload/personalization" option is activated for each product you need to allow uploads.
NOTE: This module modifies the CORE of Prestashop, can cause inestabilities (I tryied and worked in a 1.6.x.x prestashop at 18/05/2016)
I recently installed VQmod for opencart and I've tried to add my first vQmod xml file.
The VQmod installation was successful and I see the message
VQMOD ALREADY INSTALLED!
when I visit the /vqmod/install/ URL as expected
The extension I tried to install can be found here
I added the xml file to the root folder of my site and the /vqmod/xml/ folder but I don't see a change. No new module appears in the modules page and I don't see the extension working as expected. I also don't get any error messages
The file needs to be in the /vqmod/xml/ folder as you've rightly done (the root of the folder one can be deleted as it's not required). As for the mod not showing up, vQmods don't add modules to anywhere - they virtually edit files in certain spots. From the looks of the extension you need to go to CATALOG > PRODUCTS in your admin and then you will notice you can edit products there. A few of things to check
You are using the correct version for your OpenCart install and that it is compatible
If you don't, you'll need to get that version instead
You have files in /vqmod/vqcache/ and that if you delete them and refresh your OpenCart store, the files regenerate
If they don't, check the permissions on the directory and that you have the OpenCart version of vQmod, including the /vqmod/xml/vqmod_opencart.xml file
You have no errors from the mod (see /vqmod/logs/ followed by the day name such as Tue.log)
If you do, contact the developer to get a fix if they can. Remember that while vQmods can work well together, that depends largely on the competence of the developer to make it as dynamic as possible. Conflicts can always occur however
download the VQMOD from this link https://code.google.com/p/vqmod/downloads/list
upload the ZIP file (case of server)
extract the ZIP file and past root folder directory (in case of localhost)
exp (site folder name is shop (shoo/vqmod))
run on url (http:/open/vqmod/install/)
exit
I’m making a simple web browser for work eeh, what I’d like to know is if its possible to save a file of a particular extension to a particular file.
I currently use google chrome when downloading a file it places this (regardless of extension) in a downloads folder without asking where I ant to download this too.
I want to achieve the same except that downloads with the extension .dwg are placed automatically in a folder named DWG DOWNLOADS…
How to achieve this in vb.net?
In any browser you have a config section.
In Firefox you have browser.download.useDownloadDir;true and browser.download.folderList;1
you can add your own config to allow different saved folder paths and dynamically modify them depending on the extension of the file you uploaded.
See a complete list of the web browser config with about:config in address bar.
Not real sure what you are asking, but if you are actually making a web browser just check the extension of the file you are requesting to download. If the extension is ".dwg" then save the file to the folder you want.
If you are wanting to automatically move Google Chrome downloads to a different directory, you can use a FileSystemWatcher to monitor for new files in Chrome's download directory and move them to another folder based on each file's extension.
I'm trying to install new apex theme but the problem is that I don't know where to put theme images folder in apache webserver?
I tried to put it on the apache/images but this doesn't work
So does anybody know where to put the images folder
Note: I have successfuly imported the .sql file and already switched the theme to the new one.
It depends on how the template references the image files.
By default in Apex, there is a substitution value called #IMAGE_PREFIX# that points to a folder called /i/. This folder, in turn, is just an alias set up in the Apache config (see the dads.conf file to determine the actual location).
Your template should reference images using #IMAGE_PREFIX#some_folder_name/some_file_name, in which case you need to put the images in a folder called "some_folder_name" beneath the directory that the /i/ alias points to.
