Themes

Osclass allows administrators to customize the appearance of their classifieds website using themes and templates. Themes control the overall design, layout, and functionality of the site, while templates define the structure of specific pages. Osclass supports multiple themes, but only one theme can be active at a time. Themes can be installed, configured, and customized through the admin panel.

Managing Themes and Appearance

Themes can be managed under Appearance > Themes.

The following actions are available:

  • Activate Theme: Only one theme can be active at any given time. Activating a new theme will automatically deactivate the current template.
  • Upload New Theme: Themes are provided as ZIP files and can be manually uploaded through the admin panel. The ZIP file should contain all necessary templates, styles, and scripts.

  • Download/Purchase Themes: Additional themes can be downloaded or purchased from the Market > Themes section.
  • Delete Theme: Unused themes can be removed from the system to free up space and avoid clutter.

Theme Configuration

Most themes include a built-in configuration panel where administrators can customize various aspects of the site. These settings vary depending on the theme but typically include:

  • Logo Uploader: Change the website’s logo directly from the admin panel.
  • Banner Advertisement: Configure ad placements, including header, sidebar, and footer banners.
  • Color and Layout Customization: Some themes allow for color scheme adjustments and layout modifications.

Theme Translations

Osclass supports multi-language themes. Theme text can be translated under International > Translations. Each theme includes language files that can be modified to suit the target audience.

Item Data Storage

Some listing-related attributes, such as condition and transaction type, are stored in the item database tables rather than within the theme. This ensures that these values remain intact even when switching themes.

Conclusion

Osclass themes and templates offer extensive customization options, enabling administrators to create a unique classifieds website. By utilizing widgets, custom styling, and configuration options, site owners can tailor the appearance to their specific needs while ensuring a seamless user experience.
