Ticket #7144 - Simple question about updating Alysum 3 to Alysum 4.2

Hello, sorry for this trivial question but I would like to update to 4.2 from Alysum 3.0.6
in you documentation you write :

“3) Module “Import/export a theme (Theme Installer)” > “Import from your computer Archive File” there choose the Alysum_update_xx.zip and follow the module steps. "

If I do so I don’t find any zip file in the folder updates/prestashop-1.6.x/4.2, only the folder mudules and themes

What should I do ? Just upload manually the modules and themes folder in the update folder ?
And then add the custom CSS that I have saved ?

Is there anything I should do with the folder override from Alysum ? Should I put all what is in it on my server ? (I have Prestashop 1.6.1.14 installed)

Thank you for your help in updating from 3 to 4.

Regards.

Hi.
You should install the archive updates/alysum_4.2.zip
with PS feature Preferences>Themes>Add new theme

After that everything should be ok.
Before update make full site and db backup (always do backups!)

Hello Alex, Thank you for your quick response, very appreciated. I did as you proposed and have uploaded the Alysum Theme as a new one. Very impressive all the changes from 3 to 4……

Regarding the version 4 I still have some issues :

1) At the bottom I have twice the column Information. First column has nothing and second column has “About us”, “Delivery” etc… Normally the first column should have the orders of the customer etc… j

2) At the top I don’t have anymore the Wish list, Watch list, Favorite. Where did they disappear ?

3) I dont’t have the menu anymore at the top (Women, Men, Girls, Boys, etc…..)

4) Where can I fine tune the pre-settings for each model of layout ? For example if I change from Alysum to Sequence, and I have set to show Visa and MasterCard, shows me again all the other payment cards when I change the pre-setting again. Same for social sharing etc….

5) The display of the images of the pre-setting of Alysum for example is bigger than before in version 3 and the images are a bit blurry now. How to fix that ?

Since I have followed your advise to update the theme in adding a new theme I am wondering if there is a mix between old modules form Alysum 3 and new modules from Alysum 4. Do you have a list of the modules I should keep and the one I should delete ?

Do you have a “how to do” for all the settings of the version 4 ? This would be very useful.

Thank you.

Hi! Sorry for delay.
1) The empty block is CMS block http://c2n.me/3eXfkB5
It’s not configured on your site that’s why it’s empty. I have disabled this module and enabled “My account in footer” module instead.

2) The Custom links are in their place as I see http://c2n.me/3eXg9Nl

3) The menu is also ok as I see now.

4) The settings do not save when you switch between the presets. Once you configured a preset and decided to switch your settings will be lost.

5) The images regeneration in Preferences > Images should fix the problem
Since I have followed your advise to update the theme in adding a new theme I am wondering if there is a mix between old modules form Alysum 3 and new modules from Alysum 4. Do you have a list of the modules I should keep and the one I should delete ? The modules names remained unchanged in version 4. When you did the update the new modules files have just overwritten the old ones. In this way it created no duplicate modules. Also some new modules were added in new update. There’s no need to delete anything.
Do you have a “how to do” for all the settings of the version 4 ? This would be very useful. I think this information will be useful http://alysum4.promokit.eu/selector/
The documentation is still for the version 3 though. We will try to update it soon.
