JTL-Links

Thank you for using the English version of the JTL-Guide!
We are currently still building up the English documentation; not all sections have been translated yet. Please note that there may still be German screenshots or links to German pages even on pages that have already been translated. This guide mostly addresses English speaking users in Germany.

Note: On 1 September 2024, JTL introduced new editions that bundle most of the previous individual services into different packages. In order for you to continue working as smoothly as possible, existing customers were automatically switched to the package configuration that best matched their existing contract. The individual packages differ in terms of limitations and/or range of functions. Therefore, some of the features described in the JTL-Guide may not be available to you as part of your booked JTL edition. You can change your package configuration in your JTL customer account. Find out more about the new editions and packages here. Check our FAQ for frequently asked questions about the product editions.

Adjusting templates

Your task/initial situation

You would like to customise the standard template of JTL-Shop, for example by changing fonts or colours.

Activating the template

To use a template, you must first activate it. Normally, this should already have been done for the standard template of JTL-Shop 5, NOVA.

Log in to the back end of JTL-Shop with your admin access data.
Navigate to the menu item Templates.
Click Activate behind the template you want to use.

Editing the template settings

Click on the Settings button behind the active template to edit its settings.
Make the respective settings and then click Save. Go to the Detailed description of all template settings

To adjust colours in the template, for example, you can also work with the JTL Theme Editor plug-in. With this plug-in it is possible to adapt the themes of the NOVA template delivered with JTL-Shop 5.0.

Install the plug-in and open it in the Plug-in manager. Use the settings button to open the edit mode. For more information, please read the Developer documentation (German only).

Please note: We recommend working with the Theme Editor to users who have previous experience in the field of web design. For any customisations, you can also enlist the help of a JTL service partner.

Creating your own template

To develop your own template, you must create a child template. This allows you to extend or overwrite the standard templates supplied in JTL-Shop. A detailed description of how to create a child template can be found here.

Evo LiveStyler

In addition to the theme editor, the Evo LiveStyler is also available for editing the EVO template. It allows you to directly change variables, colours, fonts, margins, etc.

In order to use the Evo LiveStyler, the JTL Theme Editor must first be installed. You can find out how to do this and how to use the LiveStyler in the LiveStyler developer documentation (English).

Please note: Changes made cannot be undone by changing the theme.
