I started using Prestashop yesterday so I’m a total beginner, but I’ve got some questions.

  1. Is there absolutely no API for this? I mean I found the wiki but it holds no good information.

  2. I want to edit my theme completely, as I wish. Edit html, add/remove JavaScript, just being able to do what I want, but when I edit the tpl files in my active theme, NOTHING happens. The site remains exactly the same. Why is this, or where do I change it without hacking the core? Do I have to recompile these .tpl files in some way for the changes to take affect?

  3. I also want to edit a lot of the modules to match my demands, but same here, if I edit their tpl files nothing seems to happen or rather I don’t want to hack the core, since I suppose these will be affected if I update the platform.

  4. Where do I find my products page, I want to create a menu with a link to a page called products or something with an overview of the products available in my store.

I’m very confused, but I guess you just have to get through this, I’m used to developing in WordPress or without any CMS for that matter.

    Did you clear the cache after editing your templates?
    Prestashop uses caching system to speed up the shop loading, so empty the cache directory to compile the new templates
