Applying a theme to ecommerce

Permalink 1 user found helpful
How do I apply my theme to all the components of the core ecommerce add-on? At the moment it is partially applying the theme (deletes menu and edged wrapped divs).

When I click design, the dialog tells me the page is a single page.

If you are not intimidated by the code you can customize a lot by looking at the wrappers used on by the package. Look in your root/packages/core_commerce/single_pages/checkout/

You can change the style of these wrappers by modifying the files in:
root/packages/core_commerce/css/

You can add editable areas to allow you to customize areas of the single pages through Concrete5 as well by adding a snippet such as: 
<?php $as = new Area('Sidebar'); $as->display($c); ?>

to the files in the first directory in my post.

Thanks for the thorough reply.

I come from the graphic design end of website building but have reasonable css skills. Just needed to know where the files were to apply new styling to. So your response helped immensely.

Someone had talked about the view.php file but there are so many view.php pages for components within the ecommerce add-on I got totally lost!

Thanks again.

No problem. The view.php in your theme serves as an outside template, the single page files sit in the middle of this file and and are where the header and footer are included. Hope this helps. Concrete really has a great architecture but is a bit confusing at first.
