Ma_orion is a Magento theme with advanced admin module, extremely
customizable and fully responsive. It is suitable for every type of store. It is a
standalone design package (not a sub-theme of Magento default theme) so
you can easily create your own sub-themes.

online Magento guide. You can find there all the basic Magento

with all existing extensions because there are thousands of available
Magento extensions. Only the default Magento theme (located in
app/design/frontend/default/default) is compatible with all third-party
extensions, because all extensions are designed to work with the default
theme.
Generally all extensions can work with all themes but sometimes
they have to be integrated manually. Thats because sometimes the
extension and the theme override the same Magento template file so there
can be a conflict.
Support
Author of the extension should provide detailed instruction about
how to integrate the extension with any custom theme.
How to install
To work with this theme, the extension should be installed in the
theme's directories instead of the default Magento theme directories.
To be more specific: extension should be installed in the main
10
directories of the default theme in the ma_orion design package.
In many cases you only need to upload the extension to the theme's
directories. Sometimes you need to edit layout files to "tell" the
theme where it should display extension's output. If you are not
familiar with Magento, you should ask the author of the extension
for more information. If you feel that you might have troubles with
installing extensions, we advise that you order professional
installation services (unfortunately we don't offer this type of
services).
2. Quick start
2.1. Important things you need to know before you start using Magento
THEMELOCK.COM
When developing your store, you should completely disable
Magento cache. Enable it after you finish configuring your store
After making changes to your store such as editing products,
adding categories etc. You need to reindex the data.
2.2. Configuration
Next, you need to configure your store. This theme works out of the box,
but not all of the features are enabled by default. You might want to take the
following steps:
Note:
You may find these Magento documentation and tutorials
useful while configuring your store: 1.1. References.
1. Disable Magento cache before you start configuring your
store
2. Upload your logo.

3.3 Problems after installation
If you encounter any problems after installation: flush Magento cache, log
out from the admin panel, and log in again. Check again the installation steps and
make sure you didn't omit any step. What can cause problems:
a) Magento cache (or external cache) was not flushed after installation of
the theme.
b) Compilation mode was not disabled before installation.
c) Some of the theme files were not uploaded.
d) File permissions issue
e) You have some third-party extensions which change/break theme's
default behavior or cause some conflicts.
f) You edited theme files and accidentally removed or changed something
in the files.
g) You have customized the theme by creating custom sub-theme and
your modifications change/break the default behavior of the theme
h) You have some elements that left from your previous theme (e.g. in
Magento's"base" theme in app/design/frontend/base/) and that
THEMELOCK.COM
changes/breaks the default behavior of the theme.
Also check your log files in var/log/ (log settings should be enabled in the
admin panel: System > Configuration > Developer for more information about
possible errors.
4. Magento configuration
The following chapter describes some of the basic Magento settings and
features. Please note that as authors of this theme we provide support only for the
issues related strictly to the theme. Support for Magento configuration/ installation/
maintenance etc. is beyond the scope of our support. This chapter should be only
treated as a starting point, more information about Magento can be found in
Magento documentation : 1.1.2 Magento help
THEMELOCK.COM
24
After cache is disabled cache management screen might look like this:
THEMELOCK.COM
When the store is configured, you can enable caching system again. Go to
System > Cache Management. Click Select All link, select Enable in
Actions field and click Submit button:
25
4.2. Index management
Magento indexes most of its data in order to access it faster. If you make
changes to your store such as editing products, adding categories, changing
urls, etc. you will need to reindex the data so that the changes can show up
on your frontend.
THEMELOCK.COM
4.3. How to enable the theme
In Magento you can enable the theme on many levels. You can set one
theme for the entire store, but you can also set different themes for different
parts of the store (even for selected categories, products or CMS pages).
If you want all your store pages to look the same (to use the same theme),
your theme should only be enabled in System > Configuration > Design
(the same as it was described in the installation steps 3. Installation). You
need to remove all theme overrides from categories, products and CMS
pages.
There are many places where a theme can be enabled. If you have just
installed a fresh copy of Magento, those places will be empty. Otherwise,
please take a look at these sections of the admin panel:
26
This section should be empty, delete all existing entries:
These fields should be left empty, do not select any theme here:
Catalog > Manage Categories > [category] > Custom Design >
Custom Design
Catalog > Manage Products > [product] > Design > Custom Design
THEMELOCK.COM
CMS > Pages > [page] > Design > Custom Theme
27
Remember to flush the cache after you change design settings.
4.4. Logo
Upload your logo to skin/frontend/default/ma_orion/images/.
By default Magento theme displays logo from the file named
logo.png. If you uploaded file with different name or different file
format (e.g. .jpg or .png)
Login your Magento Admin
go to System >Configuration > Design > Header section
and in the Logo Image Src field specify a path to your logo image
4.5. Categories
Note:
More info about categories in Magento can be found in :
http://www.magentocommerce.com/knowledge-base/entry/tutorial-
creating-and-managing-categories
THEMELOCK.COM
To create and edit categories in Magento, navigate to Catalog >
Manage Categories section of the admin panel. After installation of
Magento your category tree is almost empty, there is only the root category
(named Default Category):
The root category is not displayed in the frontend of the store that's why your
main menu is empty just after istalling Magento. You need to add some new
top-level categories (also called subcategories because they are descendants of
the root category).
Important:
All categories have to be descendants of the root category. Do
28
not add categories outside of the root category tree.
To add a new category, select the root category by clicking on it and click Add
Subcategory button:
Fill in all the required fields. Especialy set Is Active and Include in Navigation
Menu fields to Yes, and click Save Category:
THEMELOCK.COM
This will create a new category (which will be displayed as a top-level category
in the main menu on frontend):
29
Note that this new category has to be a descendant of the root category it
has to be one level lower than the root category:
THEMELOCK.COM
If the category is not displayed in the frontend: reindex the data in System >
Index
Management and flush Magento cache.
30
4.5.1. Category info
For each category you can add some basic information which will be
displayed on category page (above the products). Navigate to Catalog >
Manage Categories and select a category:
Description category description. You can enter text or HTML.
Image main category image. After image is uploaded and saved, an
icon of the existing image will appear to the left of the button, and a
Delete Image checkbox will appear to the right.
THEMELOCK.COM
static blocks.
31
From now on this category will be displayed in the Layered Navigation. If the
category is not displayed in the frontend: reindex the data in System > Index
Management and refresh Magento cache.
4.6. THEMELOCK.COM
Products
32
4.6.2. Only X left indicator
There is a quantity indicator displayed on the product page. It shows the
quantity of items left in stock if the stock level is equal or below the
threshold specified in the admin panel. The threshold can be set in Only X
left Threshold field in System > Configuration > Inventory.
For example, if you set the option to 20, all products with quantity equal or
less than 20 will have the text Only X lefton the product page.
For configurable products this text is clickable and shows drop-down box
with quantities of all products associated with that product.
4.7. Attributes
An attribute in Magento is defined as any property of a product, such as color,
price, SKU, manufacturer etc. There are two types of attributes: System Attributes
(cannot be deleted and every product must contain them) and Simple Attributes
THEMELOCK.COM
(which can be created by the store admin). Attributes are groupped in Attribute
Sets.
Here you can find more info about Magento attributes:
http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/welcome_to_the_magento_user_
s_guide/chapter_3#attributes
Important:
After making any changes in the attributes and Attribute Sets, you may
need to reindex the data in your Magento (4.2 Index management)
and flush the cache (4.1 Caching system).
33
Let's see an example of a dropdown attribute manufacturer which
stores a list of product brands. Fill in the form as follows:
THEMELOCK.COM
34
After you create the attribute, you need to add it to the Attribute Set which you
use for your products. Attribute Sets are described in the next chapter.
4.7.2. Attribute sets
An Attribute Set is a collection of attributes, created to fit certain types of
THEMELOCK.COM
products. To add a new product in Magento you need to select an Attribute Set
which will describe that product. You can create many custom Attribute Sets for
different types of products. For example, if you sell t-shirts and books, you could
create 2 Attribute Sets: one specific to t- shirts, one specific to books. The
Attribute Set for t-shirts can include attributes such as color and size (which are
not needed in the Attribute Set for books).
Important:
After making any changes in the attributes and Attribute Sets, you
may need to reindex the data in your Magento (4.2 Index
management) and flush the cache (4.1 Caching system).
Let's continue an example with manufacturer attribute. To add your attribute to an
Attribute Set, go to Catalog > Attributes > Manage Attribute Sets, select an
Attribute Set (default one is named Default). You will see Unassigned
Attributes section with a list of available attributes. You can associate attributes
to your Attribute Set by clicking and dragging an attribute into the Groups
section. To disassociate an attribute, simply drag it back to the Unassigned
Attributes list.
35
Click Save Attribute Set button after you finish. You can add your custom
attributes to many Attribute Sets.
THEMELOCK.COM
Then, go to Catalog > Manage Products and open a product. If the product is
based on the Attribute Set which contain your manufacturer attribute, you will
see a list of manufacturers which may look like this:
36
THEMELOCK.COM
If you added manufacturer attribute to that Attribute Set, but you don't see the
field with the list of manufacturers, you may need to reindex the data in your
Magento and flush the cache.
37
In fact the best way to use WYSIWYG is to turn it on only when it is needed.
Go to
System > Configuration > Content Management and set it as Disabled by
Default.
THEMELOCK.COM
4.8.2. Static blocks
Static blocks in Magento are simple portions of content that can be
displayed throughout the site. To manage static blocks, go to CMS > Static
Blocks section in the admin panel.
To create a static block, go to CMS > Static Blocks, click Add New
Block button and follow these steps:
1. In Identifier field enter an identifier of one of the static blocks.
Make sure the identifier is lower-case and seporionted by
underscores to follow Magentos standards.
2. Enter the title in Block Title
3. Select the Store View to which this block will apply.
4. Select Enabled in the Status field. Disabled means that the block is not
displayed in the frontend.
5. Insert your Content (it can be text or HTML) and click
Save Block. Heres an example:
38
For more details on creating static blocks please refer to Magento user guide:
THEMELOCK.COM
static blocks.
{{store url=''}}
39
{{store url='path/to/page/about-us'}}
THEMELOCK.COM
To translate the interface into Spanish follow these instructions:
Create a new folder for your translation. For Spanish language it will be
app/design/frontend /default/ma_orion /locale/es_ES.
Copy translate.csv from app/design/frontend/default/ma_orion
/locale/en_ES.
And paste it into created folder app/design/frontend/default/ma_orion
/locale/es_ES.
Open app/design/frontend /default/ ma_orion /locale/es_ES/translate.csv
in OpenOffice Calc (or other text editor like Notepad++, PSPad).
Note:
The editor should be capable to save file in UTF-8 encoding. Do not use
Excel, it can break file structure. Read more about useful tools:

Some strings contains % d or %s entries. These entries should be left
intact in the translated strings.
For each available language a flag is displayed in the store view switcher (we
can also call it language switcher). Flag images (16x12 pixels, PNG format)
should be uploaded to skin/frontend/ultimo/default/images/flags folder. Image
names should be the same as the store view codes. E.g. if you have a store
view with the code de, you will need to upload a flag image de.png to
skin/frontend/default/ma_orion/images/flag_icon
To check what is the store view code, go to System > Manage Stores and
click on the store view name. You can find the code in the Code field:
41
Rememeber that if you change the store view code, you will also need to
change the name of the corresponding flag image.
THEMELOCK.COM
Magento is based on a theming concept referred to as parent/child theming
changes in the theme can be implemented without modifying the original.
Magento's base theme serves as a parent theme for any custom theme.
The correct way to customize the theme in Magento is to create your own
sub-theme of the default theme in the design package. You should never
edit original design package files. Files that need to be changed can be
copied from the default theme of the design package to your custom sub-
theme inside that package.
This way you can override any file of the design package. And you can be
sure that when something goes wrong you can simply delete your custom
sub-theme without breaking the original files.
42
packages named "base" and "default".
Note:
Do not edit files in the "base" package and do not create custom
sub-themes inside the "base" package.
Every design package in Magento comes with a default theme named
"default" which is the main theme in the design package. When administrator
assigns a package to the store, Magento automatically looks for the theme
named "default" in that package.
Design package can also contain variations of the "default" theme. This variations
are
often called sub-themes because they inherit all the files from the "default" theme
(from the same package) and from the "base" package. Inside the sub-theme you
can override any file of the "default" theme. Sub-theme can even consists of a
single file other files will be inherited from the "default" theme from the
package. This is called a fallback mechanism because Magento always falls
back to the next theme in the hierarchy to find the
THEMELOCK.COM
requested file. Fallback is described later in this chapter.
app/design/frontend/default/theme_name/
Templates directory contains the layout files, HTML templates and
translations
skin/frontend/default/ theme_name/
Skin directory contains CSS stylesheets, images and theme-specific
JavaScript files
where theme_name indicates the theme name.
43
PHP
locale directory contains CSV files with translation strings
Let's say we have a design package named "helloworld" with custom sub-
theme named "new". Package files are organized as follows:
app/design/frontend/helloworld/new/
skin/frontend/helloworld/new/
THEMELOCK.COM
Let's also assume that your custom sub-theme contains a CSS file called
"menu.css" located in skin/frontend/helloworld/new/css/menu.css
If your custom theme requests "menu.css" but Magento can't find it in your
custom sub- theme in skin/frontend/helloworld/new/css/menu.css, Magento
will try to find that file in the next theme in the hierarchy. Next theme in the
hierarchy is the "default" theme in "helloworld" package so Magento will
search in skin/frontend/helloworld/default/css/menu.css.
If the file is not there, Magento will continue until it locates the file. Next
theme in the hierarchy is the "default" theme in "base" package:
44
skin/frontend/helloworld/new/
2. If not found, look for the file in the "default" theme in the design package:
skin/frontend/helloworld/default/
3. If not found, look for the file in the "default" theme in "base" design
package:
skin/frontend/base/default/
The first theme in hierarchy is the theme that you assign through the admin
panel (in System > Configuration > Design). The last theme in hierarchy is
the "default" theme in "base" design package.
Thanks to the fallback mechanism there is no need to copy all the default
theme files to your custom sub-theme when you want to make some changes
THEMELOCK.COM
in your theme. You only copy over the files that you want to edit. Other files
will be inherited from the "default" theme in the package and from the "base"
package.
5.4. Summary
Themes in Magento are grouped together into design packages.
By default Magento comes with the package named "base" which
contains all the files that control Magento's default behavior.
Every design package in Magento comes with a default theme named
"default" which is the main theme of the design package.
Design package can contain variations (sub-themes) of the "default"
theme. They inherit all the files from the "default" theme (from the same
package) and from the "base" package.
45
The correct way to customize the theme in Magento is to create your own
sub- theme. You should never edit original design package files. Files that
need to be changed can be copied to your custom sub-theme.
This way you can override any file of any design package. And you can be
sure that when something goes wrong you can simply delete your custom sub-
theme without breaking the original files.
Magento use fallback mechanism to make custom themes easier to
maintain and upgrade-proof.
The first theme in the fallback hierarchy is the theme that you assign
through the admin panel (in System > Configuration > Design). The last
theme in hierarchy is the "default" theme in "base" design package.
If the requested file is not found in your custom sub-theme, Magento will
try to find that file in the "default" theme from the package. If the file is not
found, Magento will call the file from the "base" package.
The directory structure inside the sub-theme must replicate the directory
structure of the default theme.

II. Theme features and elements
In this chapter you can find description and configuration details of
selected elements of this theme, such as home page, built-in static blocks,
CSS classes etc.
Note:
This list of all settings available in the System > Configuration
section of the admin panel can be found in the next chapters.
1. Home page
1.1. Structure
<image is next page>
THEMELOCK.COM
47
THEMELOCK.COM
48
After the theme is installed, you can import sample versions of the
home page.
To manage pages in Magento, go to CMS > Pages section. By
default in Magento a page with URL Key home is displayed as the
stores home page. One of a few sample home pages which you
can import, has the following URL key: orion-home-page. So to
display that page as a home page in your store, you need to change
its URL key to simple home.
Note:
If the page with that URL key already exists(which is true in
most of Magento installations) you will need to delete existing
page or change its url key.
Alternatively you can indicate which CMS page you want to use
as your home page. To do that, go to System > Configuration >
General > Web > Default Pages tab and select the desired page in
the CMS Home Page field.
49
1.1.2. Home page layout
For every CMS page in Magento you can select page layout - the
THEMELOCK.COM
number of columns: one, two, or three columns. To change the layout of the
home page, go to CMS > Pages, select the page, select one of the options in
the Layout field and click Save Page button:
50
Important
Always turn off WYSIWYG editor when you want to edit HTML or
Magento's CMS tags in the page/block content. Otherwise WYSIWYG
editor will break the content. Refer to 4.8.1 WYSIWYG editor for more
details.

IV. Trouble shooting
1. General issues
a) Magento cache (or external cache) was not flushed after installation
installation.
h) You have some elements that left from your previous theme (e.g.
in Magento's "base" theme in app/design/frontend/base/) and that
changes/breaks the default behavior of the theme.
THEMELOCK.COM
b) or they are not in the correct place,
First, check if images were uploaded and if correct paths to those files
are specified. This may be file permissions issue your Magento
doesnt have access to images because of incorrect file permissions
235
on your server. You need to set correct file permissions for all images
and folders (in most cases images are stored in media directory).
Note:
You may also want to reinstall your web browser and remove all
plugins to check if some of them can cause conflicts.
1.10. Slideshow is not displayed on the home page.
THEMELOCK.COM
Make sure the configuration of the slideshow ic correct. Enable all
the static blocks which are used as slides in the slideshow. Finally, flush
the cache.
Non-standard value in System > Configuration > Web > Default Pages >
Default Web URL. Set the default value: cms
236
3. Third-party extensions
Generally all extensions can work with all themes but sometimes
they have to be integrated manually. Thats because sometimes the
extension and the theme override the same Magento template file so there
can be a conflict.
3.2. One of the features stopped working after third-party extension
was installed.
There can be a conflict, if the extension and the theme override the same
Magento template file. You should contact author of the extension for
more information. Also, check your log files in var/log/ (log settings
should be enabled in System > Config > Developer) for more information
THEMELOCK.COM
about the error.
