In this article we explain functions that are often assumed to be in ThemeWare® for Shopware 6 but which are not part of ThemeWare®.

Overwiew

• Essential characteristics

• Infinite Scrolling

The essential characteristics allow you to show product informations (like the price, the manufacturer number, the EAN or the dimensions) in the checkout.

You can find more information about the essential characteristics in the Shopware documentation:

Infinite scrolling in categories in Shopware 5 is part of Shopware Core. There is currently no such feature in Shopware 6. Take a look at the , perhaps there is already an extension for this.

Images or logos for the payment and shipping methods are a core feature of Shopware 6.

You can add your logos via the corresponding payment and shipping methods in the Shopware settings.

• Shipping methods: "Settings" => "Shop" => "Shipping" => "Edit shipping method" => "Logo" => "Upload file"

• Payment methods: "Settings" => "Shop" => "Payment" => "Edit payment method" => "Logo" => "Upload file"

You can find more information about payment and shipping methods in the Shopware documentation:

We are often asked how to hide the description in the product box with ThemeWare®. In fact this is already a Shopware core feature.

Simply select the type "Minimal content" as "Layout type" in the settings of the corresponding CMS element. This layout doesn't add a description.

The wishlist is not a ThemeWare® feature but a Shopware core feature from Shopware 6.4.0.

You can activate the wishlist via the shopping cart settings ("Settings" => "Shop" => "Cart settings" => "Wishlist" => "Activate wishlist").

You can find more information about this in the Shopware documentation:

If you want to use snippets in a Sales Channel that deviate from the standard, you can do this using your own snippet set.

This is particularly useful if you want to continue using the standard set unchanged, e.g. if you want to integrate different snippets in a Sales Channel via different URLs for Germany and Austria.

Create a individual snippet set

You can find out how to create a individual snippet set in the Shopware documentation:

Assign snippet set to a domain

You can assign your individual snippet set in the settings of the corresponding sales channel via the domain configuration in the "Domains" section.

The theme configuration is not multilingual in Shopware and therefore texts cannot be translated. This is why ThemeWare® uses snippets for translatable texts consequently.

For example

Let's say you want to change the "Lorem ipsum" text in the "About us" widget. Proceed as follows:

1. Open the administration of your shop

2. Switch via the main navigation to the "Snippet Managment" (1) ("Settings" => "Shop" => "Snippets")

3. Select the desired language (2) (e.g. "BASE en-GB")

4. This is how you get to the snippets overview

5. Type a part of the text you are looking for into the search field above (3) (e.g. "Lorem ipsum")

6. Optional: You can select the author "TC-Innovations GmbH" as a filter on the right (4) to limit the range of snippets

7. The overview now only shows snippets that contain the text you are looking for

8. Click on the matching snippet (5) (e.g. "twt.widget.about.content")

9. In the block "Translations" (6) you can find all translations of the corresponding snippet

10. Change or translate the text

11. Confirm the change with the button "Save" (7)

The text has been changed. - You can apply this process to all texts in the storefront.

To cancel a extension rental, log into your Shopware Account and go to the "Shops" section.

There you can select your domain and find your rental licenses in the lower area. Select the extension for which you want to cancel the rental and click on cancel rent. The rent will then be cancelled at the next possible time.

How can I make individual customisations?

How can I use a different configuration for a Sales Channel?

How can I use an individual configuration for an additional Sales Channel?

What image sizes should I use with ThemeWare®?

From Shopware 6.4.19.0 Shopware offers the possibility to configure the visibility of CMS sections and/or CMS blocks for three viewports.

You can also use Bootstrap CSS classes, which are included in Shopware by default, to hide CMS sections or CMS blocks in various viewports.

In the following articles we explain how this can be done:

If you have an extension in the shop for which you do not have a valid licence, a corresponding message appears when you open the administration. At least one licence of the extensions you are using has expired.

Below the warning you will see the name of the affected extension. Shopware makes no difference whether the extension has the status "activated", "deactivated" or "uninstalled" in the extension manager.

Unlicensed plugins must be completely deleted and may not appear in the extension manager of your shop!

You can do this by using the link "Delete extension permanetly". Alternatively you can purchase a licence for the respective extension. Click on the button "Buy extension" to go to the respective page in the Community Store.

Further information

In Shopware 6, each theme has exactly one configuration.

If you want to use an individual or different configuration for one or more sales channels, each sales channel must have its own theme.

In order not having to buy a theme for each Sales Channel, Shopware 6 offers you the option of creating a theme duplicate. This duplicate has its own configuration and can be assigned to another sales channel.

You can find more information on the topic of "theme duplicates" in the following article:

An extension that is displayed as "With new Shopware version" during a Shopware update is available in a compatible version that can only be used after the Shopware update.

The corresponding extension should therefore be deactivated before the Shopware update and updated after the update.

Only activate the extension once you have updated it to a compatible version!

Please note the following:

• Deactivate ThemeWare® before the Shopware update

  • Tip: To do so, assign the default Shopware theme to your Sales Channel.

• New ThemeWare® version:

  • only activate in the new Shopware version

  • do not activate in the old Shopware version

• Old ThemeWare® version:

  • only in the old Shopware version

  • do not activate in the new Shopware version

However, if you have accidentally activated an incompatible extension in your shop and no longer have access to the administration, hopefully you have followed the hints regarding the creation of a backup and can restore it.

If this is not possible, deactivate the corresponding extension via the database. The administration should then work again.

Accordingly, additional licenses are required for a further Shopware installation.

There is no general answer to the question of the perfect image size in fluid web design. It always depends on what an image is used for and how large it is displayed.

You can find more information on this in the following article:

Unlicensed plugins must be completely deleted and may not appear in the plugin manager of your shop!

To physically delete an extension completely, the extension must be deleted from the Extension-Manager. It is not enough that it is only deactivated/uninstall, as the extension can then be reactivated/reinstalled at any time. This is also important for remedying licence violations.

In addition to ThemeWare® for Shopware 5, ThemeWare® has been available for both Shopware 6 Cloud and Shopware 6 (self-hosted) since the release of Shopware 6.

For technical reasons, different extensions (apps/plugins) are necessary for this:

Our themes named after this pattern are the Shopware 5 versions of ThemeWare®.

We have developed the ThemeWare® Cloud Edition for the Shopware 6 Cloud. It offers almost all functions, countless customisation options as well as our excellent user support. The Cloud Edition is suitable for beginners and start-ups.

The ThemeWare® Pro Edition has been developed for Shopware 6 (self-hosted). It offers the full range of features, unlimited customization options (also at template level), regular prioritized updates as well as our excellent user and developer support. The Pro Edition is suitable for beginners as well as professionals and agencies.

You can easily find out the duration of the trial month of your rental extension in your Shopware administration:

1. Open the administration of your shop

2. Navigate via the main navigation to the "Extension Management" (1) (2) ("Extensions" => "My extensions")

The amount of "Navigation Levels" in the top navigation flyout is a Shopware core feature and can be configured in the corresponding sales channel of your shop:

The product description in product boxes is a feature of Shopware and not of ThemeWare®. If you do not want to display this, you can simply select a listing layout without a product description (e.g. "Big image" or "Minimal content"). An additional configuration in ThemeWare® is therefore not necessary.

Since the licensing is determined and managed by Shopware, we unfortunately have no influence on this. In exceptional cases, Shopware will extend the trial month if you ask them to do so and can reasonably explain why.

Don't worry, you can continue to use the purchased version (which could be purchased until the end of 2023) of your extension. It's just that the extension's "subscription" expires. This means that you are no longer entitled to manufacturer support and updates.

If you do not want to use support and do not need updates, you can of course continue to use the corresponding extension.

To continue receiving support and updates for extensions, book the relevant extensions as a monthly or annual rental option.

You can find additional information in the following article in the Shopware documentation:

The "spacing" or "gaps" in product boxes – for example in product listings or product sliders – are intended by Shopware and already exist in the standard theme.

Technically seen, these are "placeholders" for informations that have to be displayed depending on the product configuration (see screenshot below).

These are e.g. information such as the rating or variant characteristics.

These "placeholders" are used to prevent product boxes from having different heights due to the lack of information in some products.

Of course, we have also thought about this and show you a few tips and optimization possibilities in the following article:

Most of the representation errors in the storefront result from an outdated cache. An incorrectly compiled theme can also lead to display errors.

You can easily solve such "issues" yourself:

Please have a look at the following article:

There is no ThemeWare® update available in your administration, even though a new version of ThemeWare® is already listed in the Shopware Store or Service Portal?

The fact that the header on the home page overlays the Shopping Experience is not a bug, but a configurable effect of ThemeWare® to provide a particular look in themes such as , or .

You are probably using one of these themes, because the ThemeWare® Shopping Experience Header is already pre-configured in them.

The following article explains how you can use or deactivate this effect:
