Ok, I am no rocket scientist, nor super clever developer, but is there a reason why the changes in the customizer won't stick after pushing the save button??
I've tried with ssl activated and disactivated, sometimes it works sometimes not.

I have been trying to customize the second theme.
shopping bag image, background image, some colors and stuff like that.
but it has taken me a few hours now and still can't get the changes to stay....

if I want to just download and edit the actuall Css file, where is it located?

Thanks for any guidance

    Hi Mr. Andersson,

    As the "customiser" for the "Second" template writes to a file called "customizer.css" which get called into the web page by the PHP in the "header.tpl" above. If you do a "view page source" in your browser you can see this is included in the "head /head" section.

    Here is the code in file location "/catalog/view/theme/second/stylesheet/customizer.css" for the "cart" image "headercart.png" (bottom of the page):-
    background-image url(image/headercart.png');

    The other possibility is to simply overwrite the existing "headercart.png"image with a new image of the same name?

    It is possible to edit the files mentioned above using the Admin - File Manager" and using the "edit icon" 7th from right-hand-side too.

    Hope this helps.

    Regards,

    Hi Mr. Andersson,

    It may be worth pointing out that the template "customise" option only works for the Second theme (see this old post explaining):-
    https://arastta.org/forum/default-theme-error#reply-3261

    This may explain your intermittent results as opposed to it being related to the SSL setting although without a more detail it is difficult to be sure.

    If you try to save the "customisation" for the "Default" template you should get an error in the Admin - Tools - Error Logs?

    There should be an error in the error logs if you have turned it on in the Admin - System - Settings - Server (tab) -

    Debug System - Yes
    Display Errors - Advanced
    Log Errors - Yes
    Error Log Filename - error.log

    If you are only trying to "Customise" the Second template then it may be related to file permissions on the server as this is a common problem.

    It may be easiest to simply edit the files directly yourself just keep a copy of the original first in case you need to recover the settings at a later date.

    The first file of interest is the "header.tpl". This contains the layout for the top block of the web page.

    Here is the code in file location "/catalog/view/theme/second/template/common/header.tpl" (line 120 - 138 approx.)
    <header>
    <div class="container">
    <div class="row">
    <div class="col-sm-<?php echo $logo_left_area; ?> hidden-xs">
    <div class="text-muted social-links"><?php if($theme_config->get('facebook_url', 'https://facebook.com/#')) : ?><a href="/<?php echo $theme_config->get('facebook_url', 'https://facebook.com/#'); ?>" target="_blank" class="facebook"><span class="fa fa-2x fa-fw fa-facebook"></span></a><?php endif; ?> <?php if($theme_config->get('twitter_url', 'https://twitter.com/#')) : ?><a href="/<?php echo $theme_config->get('twitter_url', 'https://twitter.com/#'); ?>" target="_blank" class="twitter"><span class="fa fa-2x fa-fw fa-twitter"></span></a><?php endif; ?> <?php if($theme_config->get('pinterest_url', 'https://pinterest.com/#')) : ?><a href="/<?php echo $theme_config->get('pinterest_url', 'https://pinterest.com/#'); ?>" target="_blank" class="pinterest"><span class="fa fa-2x fa-fw fa-pinterest"></span></a><?php endif; ?> <?php if($theme_config->get('instagram_url', 'https://instagram.com/#')) : ?><a href="/<?php echo $theme_config->get('instagram_url', 'https://instagram.com/#'); ?>" target="_blank" class="instagram"><span class="fa fa-2x fa-fw fa-instagram"></span></a><?php endif; ?></div>
    </div>
    <div class="col-sm-<?php echo $theme_config->get('logo_width', 4); ?>">
    <div id="logo" class="text-center">
    <?php if ($logo) { ?>
    <a href="/<?php echo $home; ?>"><img src="/<?php echo $logo; ?>" title="<?php echo $name; ?>" alt="<?php echo $name; ?>" class="img-responsive" /></a>
    <?php } else { ?>
    <h1><a href="/<?php echo $home; ?>"><?php echo $name; ?></a></h1>
    <?php } ?>
    </div>
    </div>
    <div class="col-sm-<?php echo $logo_right_area; ?>"><?php echo $cart; ?></div>
    </div>
    </div>
    </header>


    Hope this helps.
