I’ve built a site for a customer in Magento (version 1.4), and now need to copy the theme across to a new site for the same customer. Is transferring the theme as simple as copying the relevant folders from ‘app’ and ‘skin’ (and then activating in the new Magento installation)?
There are also several extensions I need to install – should I install them before moving the theme so they don’t overwrite anything, or will the theme be unaffected by extensions?
As long as the theme you’re uploading isn’t
base/defaultnordefault/defaultthen it is safe to just copy the files over. No extension should be overwriting in folders that you named.As for which order to install in, that is personal preference. Personally I would like to know everything functional is working as expected before dressing it up with a theme. Perhaps you would rather tackle the easy task of theming before worrying about extensions you know less about…
