3rd-party Extensions






Will my extension work with your theme?


Our theme (and any other custom theme) isn't compatible with all third-party extensions by default. You often (not always) need to customize the extension to make it work properly with your theme. It's impossible for theme author to make the theme compatible with all existing extensions. Only default Magento theme is compatible with all third-party extensions, because all extensions are designed to work with default Magento theme.

Most common case is a conflict, when extension and theme override the same Magento template file. In such cases you need to customize conflict template and merge extension into theme template




Extensions Installation


You need to check if an extension use base/default theme - in doing so you are utilising the fallback hierarchy Magento provides, allowing your theme to be portable and easy to extend by clients wishing to do so.

If it use default/default theme - you will need to copy extension layout files and templates into athlete/default theme.


PHP & JS Errors







ERRORS DURING INSTALLATION


  1. Please double check that all files were uploaded
  2. Check system requirements: http://www.magentocommerce.com/knowledge-base/entry/how-do-i-know-if-my-server-is-compatible-with-magento
  3. Most common problem is low memory limit. To fix it, you need to increase memory limit in .htaccess or php.ini. If your hosting does not allow that, please, contact your hosting support

    memory_limit = 32M  # php.ini
    ini_set('memory_limit', '32M'); # in php script
    php_value memory_limit 32M # htaccess
  4. Another common problem is lack of time limit. To fix it, you need to edit index.php. Insert set_time_limit(0); in the beginnig of index.php

    <?php
    set_time_limit(0);



I AM GETTING FATAL PHP ERROR


Usually php fatal error is not theme related issue. Best solution is to search on magento forums or google with exact error string.




I GET JS ERROR. AJAX NOT WORKING ETC


The problem is that some ( or several ) of plugins installed in your system include another version of jquery library after all our libraries were loaded. It override jQuery object with all jquery libraries that was loaded by our theme.

Check plugin files and comment out jquery. It should be loaded via layout xml. Usually layout files located in app/design/frontend/base/default/layout/ or app/design/frontend/default/default/layout


magento basics







STORE VIEWS AND DIFFERENT CONFIGURATION SCOPES


Current Configuration Scope list, at the top of the left Configuration panel, defines the range in which the configuration settings are applied. Some configuration settings apply globally to everything in the site, while others are more limited in scope. If you have multiple stores on your website, you can change the scope and make different configurations settings for each store.

Scope of the configuration is shown in [square brackets] to the right of the setting.
To set current configuration scope:

From the Admin panel, select System > Configuration.
In the upper-left Current Configuration Scope list, choose scope of the settings you want to make.
To see current store configuration, click Manage Stores.

Scope Settings

  • Default Configuration - Configuration at the Default level applies to all websites if a website or store specific value is not set.
  • Main Website - Configuration at Main Website scope, like Default, applies across all stores and store views. Certain settings, like Table Rates, can be made only with a Main Website scope.
  • Main Store - Configuration at Store scope applies only to the specific store
  • Storeview (English, Spanish, etc) - Store views are used to configure language or country specific settings.

For more information, see Understanding Store Scopes.




empty navigation


The first level of categories are used for the STORE ROOTS only, and are NOT shown in the top navigation.

Categories from the 2nd level and downward are shown in that store's top navigation. If your categories do not show up in your store, they are most likely NOT correctly assigned to the root category for the store.

You just need to define root category for your store. If you do not create any store, place all categories under default category

custom subtheme







How to create custom subtheme?


  • Create new folder in app/design/frontend/athlete/. For example: app/design/frontend/athlete/custom

    Copy files you want to update from app/design/frontend/athlete/default to appropriate folder in new theme

    For example if you want to override header template:

    copy app/design/frontend/athlete/default/template/page/html/header.phtml to app/design/frontend/athlete/custom/template/page/html/header.phtml

    apply your changes to template in your custom theme.

  • If you plan to update css and/or images:
    Create new folder in skin/frontend/athlete/. For example: skin/frontend/athlete/custom

    Copy files you want to update from app/design/frontend/athlete/custom to appropriate folder in new theme




How to switch to your custom subtheme?


  • Login to admin
  • Go to System > Configuration > Design. Open "Themes" section
  • In most cases, if the "package" is set in the Current Package field above, all these fields can remain blank. Magento will go to the default directory in the "package" directory to find the customized files.

    If you want a theme variant of your "package" to be the default theme, the easiest way to change your theme is to enter your theme variant name in the “Default” field in this section, leaving all other options in this section blank. For example, if you want your “custom” theme to be the default theme for the website, enter “custom” in the default field here.

    Magento looks for files like this: Current package’s "custom" theme > Current package’s default theme > Magento Base folder.

    You can also mix and match components from various themes using the other fields in this section. For example, if you want to use the CSS from the “custom_2” theme with your custom theme, enter “custom_2” in the “Skin (images/css)” option box and leave the default box set to “custom”.
