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 there,
Could you please take a look at the following info, and after that provide the users of the forum with some more useful information about your system, configuration - and what exactly did you do (step by step, and preferably illustrated with screenshots)?
Here we go:
https://arastta.org/forum/welcome-to-arastta-forums
https://arastta.org/forum/forum-rules
https://arastta.org/docs/user-manual/tools/system-information
https://arastta.org/docs/user-manual/system/settings/server
For your last question, please make yourself familiar with the rest of documentation, and the file system.
T.ex. the "Understanding themes" section: https://arastta.org/docs/developers/quick-start -

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.

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,
Hackasacka
