In this article you will learn how to export and import the ThemeWare® configuration.
Unfortunately, currently there is no possibility to export and import the theme configuration from Shopware via the administration. Nor are we aware of a corresponding extension so far.
Important: In the Shopware 6 Cloud currently is no possibility to reach the configuration via the database.
Using an export and import of the configuration values you can:
save your configuration
restore a saved configuration
transfer configurations between a theme and its duplicate
transfer theme configurations to another installation
Backup for safetyManual editing of the database is suitable for experienced users who are familiar with the database. Get help if this does not apply to you.
Attention: Make sure you create a backup of your database before you make any changes here!
Open the database (e.g. Adminer or phpMyAdmin)
Use the search field to find the table "themes" (1)
Open the table with "select" (2)
Edit the data set of the desired theme (e.g. "TcinnThemeWareModern") with "edit" (3)
Save the content of the column "config_values" (4) in a *.txt or *.json file to perform a "backup" of the current configuration
Leave the database without saving changes
Open the database (e.g. Adminer or phpMyAdmin)
Use the search field to find the table "themes" (1)
Open the table with "select" (2) open
Edit the data set of the desired theme (e.g. "TcinnThemeWareModern") with "edit" (3)
Enter your saved configuration into the field "config_values" (4)
Save this change and exit the database
When transferring a theme configuration, make sure that the themes are compatible with each other! For example, you should avoid depositing a ThemeWare® configuration in the default "Storefront" theme, or vice versa.
When transferring a theme configuration, make sure that the version number of the source and target theme is the same!
If the configuration is to be transferred to another Shopware installation, then all media (background image, etc.) must be re-uploaded and reassigned.
Tip: For a quick access to the database we gladly use the extension from Friends of Shopware.
