Add or embed Google Maps to PrestaShop contact page
Aug 6, 2010 PrestaShop Customization, PrestaShop Tips
To add or embed Google Maps to your PrestaShop contact page, only one file needs to be edited and uploaded to your theme folder.
If you have a brick-and-mortar/physical business location, you’d want to add Google Maps to your site’s contact page. This will provide convenience to your potential customers. Also, putting a map and physical address will give more confidence to those who are considering to buy merchandise from you.
See example and screen-shot below, which is taken from one of our Premium Themes. Step by step guide after the screen-shot.

PrestaShop slideshow banner images (with jQuery Javascript)
May 2, 2010 PrestaShop Customization, PrestaShop Tips
This post is for guiding our PREMIUM theme users to convert the homepage’s header banner to jQuery Javascript powered image slideshow/scroller/rotator — with fade-in effect, clickable banner images and “Next/Previous” buttons. Therefore the code examples and instructions will be based on our premium theme (Pres 2 to Pres 7 — Pres 1 is not included as it does not come with a header banner). If you use themes from elsewhere, you can try to modify the code examples and your own theme files to add the slideshow.

Use different logo for PDF, e-mail and RSS
Oct 27, 2009 PrestaShop Customization, PrestaShop Tips
Sometimes the logo image on your PrestaShop web site is not suitable for displaying on other locations — such as the PDF invoice, e-mail etc.
Maybe you want to display a logo with different background color, tagline, size etc — but PrestaShop will use only one logo, which is the logo.jpg file located in the \img\ folder, for all types of display.
To use a different logo image from your web site’s logo, create a new logo and name it as logo1.jpg (or something else) and upload to the \img\ folder (the same location as the logo.jpg file)
Add copyright notice to PrestaShop page (footer)
Oct 24, 2009 PrestaShop Customization, PrestaShop Tips
PrestaShop default theme and many other third-party themes do not include a copyright notice at the bottom of the page.
You can easily add a copyright notice — with a “self-updating” current year display as well.
