ThemeWare® Customizing Plugin

Individual customizations have to be implemented in Shopware 6 with an own theme or an extension (plugin or app).

For the integration of individual customizations you may use an extension from the Shopware Community Store or our free "ThemeWare® Customizing Plugin" (an extension based on the plug-in system of Shopware 6).

Download

You can find the download link for the free "Customizing plugin" via the ThemeWare® Utilities:

Installation

The extension has to be uploaded using the administration of Shopware via "Extensions" => "My extensions" and the button "Upload extension".

Then install and activate the extension.

After activation, recompile your ThemeWare® theme once (just save the theme configuration unchanged, for example) and clear the Shopware cache.

Please find more information regarding the manual installation of extensions in the article:

If the extension has been successfully installed, example implementations (a "test banner") appear in the Storefront:

From version 5.0, you can activate or deactivate the example implementations (e.g. the "test banner") in the plugin settings.

The "ThemeWare® Customizing Plugin" offers the possibility to deposit individual customizations. The following folders and files are relevant:

• File "base.scss":

  • Basis for all customizations with CSS/SCSS

  • Folder: src/Resources/app/storefront/src/scss

As the plugin is free of charge and not available via the Shopware Store, there is currently no automatic update option.

You can always find the download link for the latest version via the ThemeWare® Utilities. If necessary, just register again:

Deactivate the plugin before you perform a Shopware update. You can find information on how to update your plugin manually below:

As all changes are overwritten on file level when updating extensions, it is important to backup the folder custom/plugins/TcinnCustomizing/src before updating and upload it again after the update.
