Learning magento theme

September 1st, 2008 by int2k Leave a reply »

Puff this is even more daunting task than themeing an oscommerce installation. The theme file is really quite scattered in many places, even to modify the front page desain is quite an effort to be done. Reading from the “Magento Design Terminologies” is surely clear up some things. But seeing from the default theme code of magento installation is raising some few questions, like when I developed a module for a theme will it automatically displayed if the system is set to use another theme ?

Right now I’m focused on learning more of the structure and layout of the default theme. Like how to display a block or module in a page. Each block or module must have a layout of its own, and it’s must be declared in the main layout template. And this surely will raise trouble with block or module portability across theme.
