Hi.
I have this theme installed on open cart version 1.5.1.3.
I have installed as described and the back end works fine. I can save backgrounds and settings in admin.
Then I launch colour schemer and go to home page, and make some changes to custom colour scheme and it will show changes, and the backgrounds I can make changes to the default backgrounds, eg squares and it will change, yet if I try and change to one of my added backgrounds it makes no change.
Then when I click save I get a blank white page which goes no where. when I go back to my site after retyping the url no changes have been made?
Now the relly bizarre thing is that it doesnt always do this. I have just logged on and all is working, yet yesterday it didnt and I was getting the blank screen??
I have made no other changes to the site and have no other mods.
PLease advise as it is a great template it just seems VERY tempramental.

Hi,
We will need admin and ftp access so we could check.
You can use hidepost to share private information with the Support team.

any solutions to this?, mine started doing the same thing
I would love to just completely override the color schemer settings and use one predefined default scheme.
but unfortunately I cannot find the location of all of the color scheme values or even the location of the custom color values.
I am no dummy at CSS, but even using firebug doesn’t pinpoint where the default colors values are stored…and changing a few values in shoppica_modify_theme_.css.tpl only changes a few things. The JS actions are still using a different impossible to find color.
I have completely download my entire site and let DW recursively search the source code of every file for the color value displayed…in both color formats web and rgb values.
are you storing this in the DB somewhere? if so, why add the extra queries?
grrr. aggravating and a time waster tracking this down when it doesnt have to be this difficult.
it should just save to a file called custom.css and let everything pull from there…why make it so cryptic?

@jakobe75, You can check the default color schemer variables in the beginning of the file catalog\model\shoppica\shoppica.php. Everything else is defined in catalog\view\theme\shoppica\template\module\shoppica_modify_theme.css.tpl.
We are storing the custom values you change through the color picker in the database, of course. That’s the way we’ve managed to create the schemer functionality, whether cryptic or not.

where in the database?
I dont want any color schemer functionality at all…I dont need it calling back to the DB just to grab a color.
When the color schemer fails due to permissions or versioning, then you are stuck having to hunt and peck color values in 20 areas of the site.
its extremely cryptic and its safe to say that there are hundreds of posts about this same question.
why not just keep it simple?

You could manually replace the color variables in catalog\view\theme\shoppica\template\module\shoppica_modify_theme.css.tpl and they won’t be populated from the database.
If you have a better idea of how to save hierarchical information of arrays without using database and ‘keeping it simple’ we are open to hear it.

just write every variable from the color schemer to the same css file.
easier to find, easier to change, easier to customize, less hassle in the forums, less db queries.
because you arent saving any time or speed by storing a few color values in the database, and then passing those onto a cache file..the Opencart sites arent enterprise level with thousands upon thousands of products.
All its doing is confusing the hell out of folks who have little coding skills, and wasting your time in the forums answering the questions.
I mainly develop sites and templates in Joomla, and have for many years, My Open Cart install was acquired when we picked up a new client…the cart looked good and is simple on the backend so we kept it. “if it aint broke….”
but it’s a nightmare to customize…I spend more time hunting down code inside Shoppica than I do on any of the joomla sites.
and many of the Joomla sites have a color schemer…and they write to a flat css file making customizations extremely easy to grasp. just hit firebug and track it down.
I have manually replaced the values in shoppica_modify_theme.css.tpl but other values still existed somewhere. Ow I know to look in the DB, could you tell me where in the db?
for whatever reason the color schemer is non-functional so since its just a one time use thing, I’d rather scrap it and just lock it in myself. One less thing to go wrong.
